Capitals Fairest Bellies Are
Those Born in New World,
Declares Allyn Williams, Dis
tinguished Portrait Painter.
By EDITH LOBERT.

Who is the most beautiful woman in
Washington?
il is a leading question-and one
which has as many diverse answers as
there are individuals, for, after all, the
ability 10 see beauty in others is only i
state of mind.
Allyn Williams, president of the ROYAL
Society of Miniature Painters. member
OF the Royal Society of British Artists
and of the Cambrian Academy, one OF
England's most distinguished portrait
painters, and who is now on his fifth
tour of America, declares the American
beauty combines the classic lines of the
English girl with all the viyacity Of
the Parisienne.
Dress, Dash, and Style.
American women dress better than
her British cousins he says. and yet
they have all the dash and style of the
French woman. The German woman is
broad-shouldered and too heavy. But
the American woman is beautifully
formed. Her complexion. however, is
one of her weak points, ard L attribute
this to the climate and TO the fact that
the indoor atmosphere Of the average
American home is too drying. And the
mouths of the American women are
rather too determined"

FL Paso, Tex, July Is.
Editor FL PasO Times:
In reference TO your article in this
mornings paper accredited TO your
editor in chief, and entitled "Esca5eda
and the Auditors Report"
The writer regrets that so much pub
Lefty has been given such a delicate
matter as this report, which deals
with the shortages and dellnQuencies
Of some Of the present county public
officers. However, now that, through
your paper and your editor, attempts
are being made at distorting the re-
port, evidently with a view Of dis
crediting its author Of competency. It
is incumbent upon the writer as author
of the report TO ask you to make the
following explanations and correc-
tons to the public through the same
means as Of this mornings article. The
public is entitled to the truth.
/ In your first paragraph you state
that the Times has refrained from
discussing merits Of the candidates.
I ask you TO explain why, on the
same morning and at the same hour
that the commissioners court and dis
trict clerk were approving the report
concerning the district clerks office,
the Times issued an EXTRA" with
glaring headlines, NO SHORTAGES
BY PRESENT OFFICIALS" and fur
Their down the column in a large para
graph YOU stated that former district
clerk Ike Alderete took the fees and is
fighting the return OF this money.
Q. Where did you get such an abb
surd and ridiculous lie?
Ny report specifically details short
ages and in proof Of same a majority
Of the officers short have since COM
pletion Of the various reports, paid
over to the country treasurer such
shortages.
Further, by referring to my report
on the district clerk, exhibit E. in
the very first paragraph I state that
the present audit does not include the
period of the former clerk, Ike Aide
rete. as was informed that a thor
ough audit of his period and such dis
crepancies as may have existed had
been satisfactorily adjusted.
Therefore, in view Of the foregoing
facts, il is reasonable to believe the
Times and its editor guilty Of gross
misstatement with political reasons" |

BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author OF aAt Good Old siyTash."

a TOAST is a speech usually made
n in a hesitating voice by a pale
man who is full Of banquet food
and fear.
No one knows why an after dinner
speech is called a toast unless it is be-
cause OF its dryness. The chief object
OF a toast is to fill another place on
the program. Eight toasts make one
program Originally a toast was about
dozen words long. Nowadays il
one. In some ways times have not i'm
proved
Toasts are responded to on a great
variety of subjects, but they all begin
with the same sentiment. 7 do not
know why I should have been called
After the speaker has finished re-
spending. he still does not know and
no one else has found out either.
The second paragraph Of a toast be-
gins; That reminds me OF a story"
Toasts are like games Of chess. They
all consist Of the same things differ
emily arranged II a man knows five
stories ne can keep changing them
around so as to make them into 25
toasts- Old stories are better because
the audience knows them and begins
laughing earlier in the game
The excellence Of a toast depends
upon its brevity. Many a man has made
lifelong friends by delivering two
minute toasts Five minute toasts are
received with gratitude and a man can
make a 10 minute speech without los
ing friends. But 20 minute toasts are
misdemeanor and half hour tOasts
are usually regarded by juries as ex-
tenuating circumstances in case OF
crime
Owing to the great spread Of ban
