Lack of intelligence" Well, maybe!
Maybe not!
The same individual may be among
the intelligent minority today and the
ignorant majority tomorrow. A SUI
perite may know all about philOsO-
ply, but nothing about watch-mak-
ing. Classed with a company of
watch-makeTs he would belong to
the ignorant majority.
Again, intelligence does not al
ways receive the same classification.

traders might be CIassed highly intel

tariff advocates would be classed
densely ignorant. Egoists may class
Socialists as ignorant, but when the

THE PUBLIC FORUM
MAJORITIES. - There are two
kinds og government, democratic, l.
E., by majority, and authoritative,
/ e., by some higher power that
knows.
F. M. WiIksbarre said in The Day
Book: 1.-THE majority is always ignO-
rant, therefore democratic govern
ment is the government of the intel
igent minority by the ignorant ma
jority."
1 do not suppose that F. M. w.
thinks that to be a new criticism.
When King John of England was
forced to grant the Magma Charta to
the English mobiles no doubt he felt
that, with his intelligence and divine
authority to back him up, he knew
better what the mobiles and, incident
ally, the people wanted than they did
themselves; and when the rising trad
ing class forced the king and the no
bles to allow them to share in the
government they no doubt felt that
because of their intelligence they
ought to share in the government of
the ignorant majority. And now when
the working class all over the world
is knocking at the gates of govern
ment and industry, the kings and the
nobility and the trading class are
jumping up and down shrieking the
same old, age-long cry: why should
the intelligent minority allow the ig-
nOrant majority to govern"
The intelligent" minority always
thinks it knows better what is good
for the Ignorant" majority than the
ignorant" majority does itself In
fact, the intelligent" minority never
by any chance thinks it can be
wrong. Exaggerated egOs are always
infaIible-to themselves. But is it

curve than any art can accomplish. A generous nature will keep them full and curved and alluring into old age. If every woman did but remember this and take the lesson to heart, one need not be saddened by so many mid dle-aged faces with thin, indrawn, compressed lips, bespeaking hardness, selfishness and intolerance; or so many '1abby, relaxed lips bespeaking van ity, selfshness and self-indulgence; or so many down-curving lips bespeak- ing sarcasm, pessimism and arrogance.
 Now, if you are positive your lips show no traces of bad temper, sar- casm. envy, hatred or malice-evils which you can remedy, though by no outside help = some of the merely physical aids to more alluring lips may be touched upon. The pinker the lips are, and the more clearly cut in skin of surrounding fairness, the prettier they are. Only youth or bounding health can give this clearly drawn line of demarcation between the white
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-09

of the skin and the red of the lips and it is always sign of youth or good health. Biting the lips and pressing them together occasionally help to keep them rosy and moist and young looking, but the biting and pressing together habit grows on one and by and by becomes form of nervousness that others notice. Pale, bloodless lips usually come from some derange- ment of the system and if the health and the circulation be improved the lips will almost surely resume the rosy tone that nature intended French women suck a tiny candy that colors their tongues a bright red-for the French woman who neglects no de- tail-remembers that naturally rosy lips are usually accompanied by a rosy pink tongue, the sign manual of health.
 There Is no art of makeup upon which more art must be used than the rougeing of the lips. So very little too much makes such hideous claim to artificialty. A lipstick should be used in the strongest possible light and color applied only to the full part of S1AO iAPS eiAN 0AOhuCu OdSN Soi ClUiiy to the edge. Afterward go carefully around the edges. making sure that the line is not blurred or broken any where by some of the color stopping over. Lipsticks are very generally used now and provided the effect is never overdone. there seems no harm in the custom. Pale lips are so dread fully aging and unbecoming and rosy lips instantly brighten up face and make it look younger. more rested and happier. Beet juice applied with the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-09

finger tip will give little color to pale lips; so will strawberry juice. Liquid rouge is used by some women in preference to the lipstick, but one must be very sure to get just the right shade of rouge or purplish lips may be the result.
 If you must have rosy lips be sure and have, also, rosy ear lobes; for in perfect health the lobe of the ear is always touched with pink. A rosebud of mouth with dead white ears is a sure sign of artif1ciality to the initiated in cosmetic lore. A wee touch of rose on the tip of the chin, too. will make the touched up effect more natural.

~ HE fat woman is no longer a ~ hopeless proposition-to herself
 and her dressmaker. The latter ~ does not try to adapt fashions intended for slim women to the bulky figure with disastrous results, but de- signs special modes for her stout patrons-modes calculated to give the utmost of height and grace while cleverly subduing curves and heavy outlines. Line is the fetish of the stout woman. her watchword, her very gospel of clothes So long as "line" Is the prime consideration in any cos- tune, the details matter little. Even ruff1es and f1ounces, once sternly denied the poor soul whose inward yearning was for ruffly, feminine effects, may be incorporated in the costume, provided the general lines make for dignity and slenderness.
 Good Materials Important.
 The stout woman must spend money for best materials. The two or three yards of cheap satin that a thin woman can adroitly incorporate with a chiffon dance frock are impossible to the stout woman, on whom six yards of the same satin will show up in de- plorable commonplaceness. Only beau tifully woven, fine textured stuffs fall into the long, gracious lines desirable for large figures, and by the very elegance-the simple elegance if she is wise-of her costume, Is the stout woman made distinguished.

For her are softly draping satins- meteors, charmeuso and the like the softer taffetas faille of not too high luster, voiles, crepes, grena- dimes and chiffon wherever it can be used. Nothing falls into such lovely lines as chiffon; it is the last hope of the stout woman-she can wear it when all other materials fail.
