EVERY WOMAN IS
PRETTY TO SOMEONE

| NEW YORK.-"Ninety per cent
of the women are homely-that is,
if you are able to detect it," said
Prof. Carl H. Werntz, the Chicago
beauty expert of the Academy of
Fine Arts. And then he elaborated
upon their excuse for wearing low
| necks and short skirts by adding:
"a lot of women have fooled the
men for long time. A woman who
wears extremely short skirts and
| low-cut gowns is acknowledging she
cannot win the attention of mankind
| by less startling means"
But to the rescue comes Charles
Dana Gibson with all his line of
beautiful girls and bewitching fem
mime sketches back of him. So,

on the other hand, there isn't a

continued Mr.. Gibson, land you ask
the average youth sitting beside
woman in the world and he'll say:
Here she is, right beside me- And
he means it. Probably she would be

suggested.
Every Woman Blessed
ut is simply the fact that every
woman is blessed with some charm,
beautiful hair, good teeth, an inter-
estin ne,e complexion oP or some particn-
particular man to admire it. There
is always some man who is bound
to admire girl and make her his
especial type of beauty.
DO you think women wear short
skirts and low cut gowns to attract
the attention of menu" 1 asked Mr..
Gibson.
81 think that is matter Of STYLE"
replied the artist. Every woman
should be in style and it is right for
her to look her best. A short or long
skirt, a high or low cut blouse is a
own desire to look her very best"
Appreciate Appearance
Both Prof. Carl Werntz and Mr..
Gibson believe that it is most i'm
portant for a woman to appreciate
her personal appearance and make
the most of it on all occasions.
Only Prof. Werntz seems to believe
that 80 per cent of the women are
born homely and make themselves
worse by wearing too short skirts and
too low cut blouses, while Mr.. Gibson
readily states that Everybody is
somebody's darling" and that every
woman naturally is going to follow
the fashions
Mystery is woman's chief power"
can create a pleasing impression if
she uses skill. A woman is just like
a house to be shingled-you have to
find something which harmonic
with the structure; you have to get
an artistic result somehow. Each
woman must dress so as to create the
impression of beauty. 1t is worth
while for her to use her skill because
it is more important for woman to
be beautiful than to make great
achievements in business. literature
or science"
Being beautiful means a great deal
to woman in any line of business"
said Mr.. Gibson, although 1 would
not want to go so far as to say it is
more important for a woman to be
beautiful than to make great achieve
ments in business, literature or
science. Beauty, or looking ones
best, merely helps, and every woman
is justified in spending much time
and thought upon her personal ap-
pearance."
Gwen if she has to resort to beauty
creams, rouges. latest styles and
everything?" 1 asked.
Eyes, no matter what she has to
resort to. by gumw boyishly con-
cluded Mr.. Gibson. "And, as far as
beauty is concerned. a woman one
man may term freak may be a raw
