CULTIVATE A HOBBY,
SAYS PEARL WHITE

Another recipe for preserving beau
ty and youthfulness has been given
to the waiting world Of women. 1t
is the recipe of an actress noted for
both qualities--Pearl White, the VIII.
liam Fox star.
mo, | don't compound lot OF
smelly ointments," laughed Miss
White when asked about her recipe.
81 just get a new hobby. ! believe
hobbies are the best preservatives
Of youth and beauty
"Hobbies are the arch enemies of
rust and ruts, both of which in turn
are the arch enemies of woman's
youth and good looks
THE tragic thing in the lives of
many women is that they settle
down, get into groove; the think
ing and enjoying faculties shrivel;
enthusiasm dies. The champagne
bubble escapes from their lives and
they find existence stale, flat and
Improbable.
"And that's the fatal day for youth
and beauty 1t isn't years, it is the
rut and rust habit that gives the
knockout blow to good looks and
charm.
