PLACE IN LEGEND AND
 HISTORY OF QUEEN OF SHEBA

The great part the Queen of Sheba played in the life of King Solomon IS but also of Oriental legend, according | to Virginia Tracy. author of the story
 on which Queen of sheba,' the Will 1 jam Fox picture spectacle now at Polls, Is based. | Throughout the East a hundred 1e- | gends and traditions, mostly unwrit- | ten, keep alive the memory Of the 1 great queen who came from the south | and won Solomon's heart. Her fame | in Asia is beyond that of Cleopatra ! and that of Helen of Troy, in spite of l the fact that Cleopatra had Shakes
 peare, and Helen had Homer to sing | their praises, while Sheba'S love | never until now has been immortal1z- l ed in the written word.
 Yet for proof of her strong inf1u-
 ence on King Solomon, and, through l him, probably on the whole course | of history, one must turn to the Songs
 of Solomon, which. according to conn., 1 mentators, contain many passages
 which can refer only to the Queen | of Sheba.
 l It Is true that a strong school of l thought holds that in these poems, | which form the collection known as \ the Songs of Solomon, the king used I his love for Sheba as a religious sym II bo1; but they contain every indica- ton that they were written by a. man who had experienced the deepest of human emotions, that of love between the sexes.
 It is also undoubtedly true that the Songs of Solomon were written soon
 after the visit of the Queen of Sheba
 to Solom on's kingdom. Dazz1ed by her beauty and the magnificence of her retinue, Solomon descended from
 his throne to greet the Queen. who
 had journeyed over the desert to
 gaze upon his glory and hear his wis
 dom. And not for the first time in
 history, nor tl-e last, wisd orp and
 power bowed tow and humbled itself l before beauty.

Beauty Chats
 BE EDNA KENT FORBES
THE PROFILE YOUNG

The other day I wes listening to woman speaker. She had what is known as a commanding platform presence That Is. when she stood be- fore an assenblage of people, she was able to make them like her and to be influenced to her opinion because of her opinion because of her attractive personality, She seemed to be a wo- man Of about 35, and she was remark ably pretty. This was my impression as entered the room late, and saw her in front of me,
 l had to walk around the side of the hail to find seat, so that when I looked at her again, 1t was no longer saw. Suddenly she appeared to be 46 or even 6G-an because there were two baggy pouches of flesh under her chin,
 A double Ger trfpIe> chin will spoil even the prettiest face. The sad part Is that 1t is absolutely unnecessary No woman need spoil her appearance Egaeh a double chin, if she begins treating herself in time, Of course If the body is too fat. some Of this extra flesh is certain to form under the chin as well es ever the abdomen and the back Of the shoulders. A general reduction will help to reduce this double chin and local treatments with ice and careful massage will draw up the loose skin and bring back the smooth and youthful line,
 
 rub with a piece of ice every day, to be preceded by rather vigorous massage with the hands. The exercise of stretching the chin upwards as far as possible will also be of immense bene- 1t, and if you cannot get ice, use any well-recommended astringent,
 UNHAPPY: - Yours is, indeed, a very difficult problem and unfortu- nate1y 1t Is a problem many women face, You naturally want friends and q little social life: your husband re- fuses to let you have any friends I suppose it is an unconscious jealousy on his part - but that doesn't make it a, bit easier for you,
 You write that his insults to your friends and his constant Guarreling when you see anyone makes you so unhappy you are even tempted to cave him. You have, fortunately, the means of supporting yourself. Could YOU, by quiet. plain talks with your husband, make him see that yours is partnership as well a marriage since you are contributing your share and that his attitude is spelling your life Quarreling won't help, 1t will only make things worse, If your prob lem Is solved, 1t will be the result of a we'll talked over, businesslikefagree- | ment between you.
