GIRLS
American Women Finer Than
Any Ancient Greeks, Says
the Rev. DR.. Cutler.

MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 26.-Speaking
at the Young Nomen's Christian AS
sociatlon public services at the fash
ionable Westminster Presbyterian
church. the Rev. Everett A. Cutter,
said that physical beauty is wom-
ans power. but that beauty is de-
tracted from by absence Of beauty Of
mind and soul. He declared his pleas
ure that the dollhouse" girl has been
supplanted by the athletic girl and
suggested that young women Of today
can equal anything that the Greeks,
with their thirty points OF beauty,
could submit.
. Mental Qualities Needed.
Good men1i qualities, he said, make
girls fascinating who possess few
physical attractions and asserted that
there is little, II any, reason why
young women should not possess
beauty of mind.
1.-The girl problem he said, us just
as acute as the boy problem. In some
ways 1t is more important. When we
recall the truth Of the saying: The
level Of q nation rises no higher than
its womanhood, we see how essential
to the solution OF every problem con-
nected with boys and men is this prob
lem, Just as truly the level OF city,
community, home can rise no high
err than it's womanhood," he said
1.-THE trait above all others that
girls and young women Should cult.
vate is beauty, but beauty OF more
than one kind.
Cupid shoots his arrow out Of the
portfolios of beauty.

'sMany young woman, like Nine.
de Stall, possessing few physical al
