Could You Tell Beauty If You
Should Happen to Meet One?
By DOLLY DA1.RYMPtr

II n a Texas newspaper the other day
there appeared an announcement
that a certain rich man wanted a
wife, and he sent forth the information
at the same time that she must be
homely.
Not only homely, the advertisement
Went on to say, but positively ugly.
The announcement shapes itself into
something like this
Can you ever write down definitely
that any woman is absolutely lacking
In good looks?
Beauty has queer way of creeping
out unawares, haven't you known girls
not even accredited with passably good
looks to fall in love or get a lot of
good looking clothes from a rich rela-
tive, and to suddenly blossom out into
beauties?
have
happen to recall woman who was
considered very plain; she came from
a family of real beauties and knew her
own lack of looks
One summer she was going to Eu-
rope, and on the steamer a young ar
list asked to be presented to her; the
mutual IIlenu VINO was asked TO ar
range the introduction told the girl that
the artist was attracted to her by her
singular beauty
The girl herself was very frank about
telling the young artist that he was
mistaken; Il am not only not pretty
she said, but 1 have always been con-
.sidered very plain"
Let me paint you" the young ar
list hfgged, land l will show you what
you really look like, and then you can
judge whether you are really homely
or not; also there are other judges to
pass on the matter-judges of real
beauty"
In Paris he painted her picture and,
to make long story short, the girl
awoke one morning to find herself IA
nous and beauty
NO, she hadn't really changed any,
except over her face had come a deli
cately subtle sort Of bloom Of happiness.
The artist had worked the miracle; he
mad painted her face, which was not
beautiful measured by the standards set
by the beauty of the other women in
her family; hers was finer, rare type,
