Yet those very women would
doubtless pass unnoticed in any large
assembly and the one whose beauty
was of the intangible, indescribable
variety would not only have her pic
ture published in every newspaper
in town, but would have a dozen
movie contracts laid at her feet.
1t is the woman who has begun to
fade who needs artificial aids, not
the young girl whose beauty is yet
immature and undeveloped. To her I
can recommend no better aid than
nature. Care, you know, is said to
have killed eat, and despite the
fact that pussy has nine lives, beau
ty has but one. Beauty can survive
a certain amount of care. But there
is a limit, beyond which beauty
fades and dies, the victim of too
much care.

tention and admiration, to the COM
plete disbursement of less attractive
features and abilities
Cleopatria's reputation for beau
ty was due not to the perfection of
her face, but to the subtle charm of
her magnetic personality.
| read once that the much famed
beauty of Madame de Stael was en-
tirely in her genius, which was man
ifested in every movement of her
body and surrounded her plain face
like a halo.
Many prominent women of today
who are reputed beautiful are. in
reality, plain looking. 1t is some
higher and better quality shining
forth through their personality
which magnetizes and fascinates to
the extent that the observer unhesi-
tatingly describes them as beauti-
full.

hausted your adjectives in describ-
ing such woman a friend, less i'm

If she begins to use all these
things at fifteen by the time she is
nineteen she will be hopelessly de-
pendent upon them, and by the time
she is twenty-five she will be willing
to pay any price to undo the damage
her excessive and totally unneces-
sary care has accomplished.
What she ought to do is to live
in the open air as much as possible,
play games, get tanned, freckled, if
needs be, forget all about her looks
and think only of cultivating good
health. She will be beautiful be-
fore she knows it. If she tans, it will
be a good, healthy tan, such as our
soldiers cultivated when they were
in the training camp. Each of those
tanned veterans soon bleached when
he got back into civil life, but the
splendid physique and hardness
which he gained during the period
of training will benefit him for the
rest of his life.
Fresh air and sunshine are the
best possible aids to beautiful hair
Don't begin doing it up on the head
too soon. Let it hang loose as much
as possible; wear it in braids; don't
spoil it with hot irons and break il
off with patent and artificial APP
planes. Be natural. Cultivate per-
sonal charm more and artificial
compilations less and you will be
referred to as beautiful much sooner
than you expect.
