ARE THE WOMEN OF TODAY
BEAUTIFUL?

If my feminine readers are in.

they will find it in the last Lit
erary Digest. Mrs Asquith, who
won the title of the "deadliest

women cf today are not as beau.
full as those Of a generation ago.
She cites Lady Brooke, Mrs.
Langtry and the Marchioness Of
Kildare as unmatched by any of
the beauties of the present day.
1t will not do for any mere man
to decide such a momentous
question. The young women may
be comforted however, by a COM
ment of the London New States.

do not know what they missed

Latter day judges of beauty
are changing their views. Note
magazine covers and even Polly
is taking on enough flesh to i'm.
prove her form. Missouri has
been noted for beautiful women
chiefly because KeytesvilIe and
Paris Mo. have enjoyed the just
representation of having the
most beautiful women on earth.
