TNHERE is a little dancer in New
York who stoutly asserts that the
American girl is not pretty. at
least, not pretty in the right way, and
whatever looks she has are not last
ing" And this little maiden who has
such very decided views on the Ameri-
can type is Miss Nora White
Here in America" she said, with
her pretty foreign accent "the old la
dies are really more attractive than the
young girls. For, at least, we must
admit that the articles they resort to
to make up to them in some small re-
spect for the youth they have lost and
can never have again. But the young
girls are horrible in their distorted
ideas of beauty. They appear on Broad
way as young as IS with makeup
enough on their little girl faces to start

thing more revolving. Don't they know
what they are doing? Can't they realize
that nature is the one beautiful thing
in the universe, and they cover up their
natural looks as though they We're some
thing 20 be ashamed OF.

women lies in the fact that they are
one and all living beyond their in
comes. This brings worry. Just like
their beauty. everything is external; all
kinds Of sham with its glitter and tinsel
is piled on thick so that the heart
ache underneath is hidden. And with
all this sordidness underneath, gnawing
continually at the foundation of things,
how can woman keep her youth? And
without her youth, no wonder she is
compelled to cover up the wrinkles with
these awful cosmetics.
"And then with these women all striv-
ing to outdo each bther in showiness,
how can America hope for the right
kind OF men? | have heard young girls

loud gowns and put on plenty Of paint

And then you you're such a

Face Beaming.

The sweet old face was beaming,
but it was wet with tears, too, and
while trying to get out her pocket
handkerchief she was fumbling with
the flowers which she was still hold
ing and passing from hand to hand.
Let me take the roses" l said as
well as | could, for l could scarcely
say anything.
Il brought them for YOU" she said,
| and then she laughed, little con-
fusedly, at her own forgetfulness.

greenhouse ones you'll have at the

was putting my arm about her waist
and asking her to tell me what she
wished me to do and l would do it.
will you, thought" she said. and
then one by one she propounded the
artless little schemes she had con-
Cocted to cure Martin of what she
conceived to be his love for me.
Her first thought was that | might
make excuse of my fathers illness to
remain where I was until the time
came for Martin to leave the island;
but she repented of this almost inn
mediately, remembering that Martin
was set on seeing me ca must see
her" he had said). and If he did not
see me he would be so downhearted.
Then she thought l might praise
up my husband to Martin, saying
what a fine man he was, to be sure,
and how good he had been to me,
and what a proud woman / was to
be married to him; but she was
ashamed of that almost as soon as
she had said it, for it might not be
true, and Martin might see | was
pretending
Finally, she suggested that in or
der to create GOODNESS between Mar
tin and myself | might try not to he
so nice to him, speaking short to him
sometimes, and even harsh ana
angry; but no, that would be TOO
cruel, especially from me, after all
these years, just when he was going
far away, too, and only the Lord and
the blessed saints knew what was -
become Of him.

That is something only the future

WILSON OR BRYANq

The Endorsement Of President Will
son by Tammany Hall is one of the
most interesting and possibly signifi-
cant Of recent political incidents.
Coupled with the conference at the
White House which restored to his
status Of loyalty Colonel George Har
vey and the earnest angling after the
support Of 'Marse Menry' Watterson.
the Tammany Endorsement is evidence.
Of a vigorous get together move

ment that the cabinet members will
be sent broadcast over the country to-
preach the partys' doctrines, "pointing
with pride to the alleged miracles Of
craftsmanship and executive effcien-
cy accomplished BY the Wilson admin
istration
But who is to be the legatee OF all
this activity? The president only the

OF Tammany Hall hobnobbing with
the man who climbed over its pros
trate frame at the last national con
yention, clutching Wilson firmly in
his grasp and landing him eventually
in the White House. is one to give us
pause
Mr.. Bryan appears to be occupying
more and more space in the limelight
of late. He was heralded as the real
power behind the throne when Presi-
dent Wilson was inaugurated, and
went into eclipse shortly thereafter
But he seems TO be holding his share
of the spotlight at the present time
and possibly there is a deeper reason
for the refusal Of the New Jersey in
ldorsement than its untimeliness. May
lit not be that Mr.. Bryan is making
lont last desperate effort to reach the
presidency by this remarkably success
Iful harmony effort which is cementing
the warning factions Of the party and
llesving the way open for President
wilson at the right moment to point
+, gracefully, even though reluctantly, to
one Of the few Baltimore planks which
he has not ignored and retire in fa-
yor Of his premier when the time for
oY,,iraffnr co,,nac9
AS to Mr. Bryan's being elected
when nominated that's another mat
ter The most interesting considera-
tlcn just now is whether this strenu-
ous campaign, ostensibly pro-Wilson,
which is going on while the country
is making heroic efforts to avert the
consequences of Wilson'S policies, is
in the presidents behalf or in Bryans
Tie truth probably is that Mr.. Bryan
came nearer the presidency in 1912
that he can possibly ever come again
and that it makes comparatively little
difference who the democratic nom
inee is, anyway. The influences which
made possible the election Of almost
any man whom the democrats might
have named at Baltimore are no lon
ger potent But it would be academic
ally interesting to know what over
lures were made and what arguments
we're employed or promises given to
induce Tammany to indorse Wilson
and particularly Bryan.

EFFICIENT sEKYLCE

The Optic cannot refrain from
iding the Associated Press another
dquet, this time upon the prompt
q IS with which it handled yesterday
ne reports Of tthe FEaropean war and
the opening game Of the worlds
championship series. War fans no
ticed that their evenings supply of
information, covering all the news
that possibly could be gotten past the
European censors, was not curtailed.
Baseball fans were pleased, doubtless,
to find full play-by-play, account
OF the championship game, followed
by complete box score.
The Associated Press handled both
these big stories, together with the
daily routine Of smaller stuff, without
the slightest hitch. Able correspond
ents and editors and the best possible
equipment, including wireless and
leased wire systems, make such serv-
ice possible. This kind of service
puts The Optic on par with many
city papers and gives Las Vegans the
news all Of it--fully - hours ahead
OF any paper that comes in here by
mail. And on local matter this paper
publishes everything that happens
when it happens, unblasedly and ac-
