KIND OF VANITY Q. KID
 BY PEERESS

LONDON, Dec 29.--How vain may g girl be?
 That is the question that Lady Tree, widow of the famous actor is trying to answer
 "A little vanity" she says, "is a dangerous thing to be without.
 "The question is, where pride in ones appearance-for I confine my self to that-begins and wither an overwhelming belief ill it may carry one.
 ~T'o look her best" continues Lady Tree, "to be at her best, to make the most of such gifts of beauty as she may possess, is the duty of every woman, and we will not accuse her of vanity, in it's bad sense, if she does her utmost to carry out this duty.
 "Vanity, when it is ugly, is often the failing of those who have the least claim to consider themselves worth looking at. It is rarely that ted; while certain silly girls who are endowed with mere prettiness-more prettiness than sense-are never tired i of looking in their mirrors. Raps "SiIly" Type
 "This is the day, I fear, of another type of the silly, rather pretty girl. | She grew up during the war and eI- bows her way through the world with his mouth pursed up for whistling, her s-.t adjusted for jazzing, her walk all ip>itation of mamequin, her ar tificial silk knees and bare arms defy ing the clements.
 q should not call this girl vain , She cannot be vain, or she would not i be like that Hence we are driven to the conclusion that too little and not too great vanity is the fault of the young people of the hour. "The crammed-on hat, the slouch, | thC otoopt 9fie uh5iofCu hahuo, IhS skimpy skirt, the epidemic of brazenly 1 "bandy" ankles-these cannot be the outcome of vanity; these must surely be the result of decision, I will be l as ugly as I can!' | "Nor do call those vain who do their making-up in public. Surely it | should be called the 'unvanity bag out of which in restaurants street cars and tubes, at dances and dinners and balls, at theaters and tennis tour naments, an otherwise charming lady will powder-puff and her lip-salve- such blatant assurance that the pro- cess will not disquiet and dismay the onlooker must spring from the very opposite of vanity.
 Vanity and Sense
 "Yes, vanity, allied to common sense, is necessary to a woman and must not be denounced or discour- aged.
 "In my very young days powder rouge and lipsalve were unheard of. People who put on artificial complex ions were stared at, laughed at, talked about-were almost taboo.
 "The word manicure was un- known; but exquisite hands, shining hair and perfect teeth were sine I qua non. To walk we'll, to hold one self we'll, to have back like black board, never to be seen ill society without gloves-except when one took them off at meals these were the vanities, and strictly were they main tained.
 "The right kind of vanity is to make the best of one's good looks.
 "One of the acknowledged beauties in the great world promised no beau ty when she was a child, had scarcely any when a girl; but, having every thing in her favor, she made up her mind to be beautiful.
 "She gave up every Indulgence that d could coursen her skin, widen her . waist; she conquered the longing to stoop until her back was like an ar row; she held her chin in the air until her head upon her throat was like lily on it's stem.'
 Her hair, already fair and growing well, became the lovely shining gold en crown it is; her eyes, already, olue' doubled their size and their expres- sion-no one knows why.
 "She had to perfect degree the right kind of vanity. and by it's means her beauty is as famous as her wt. ro bor ua rlands let uS bring"
