,s1he TWELVE MOST BEAUTIFUL
IN AMERICA

N1EW YORK, Dec. 3o.-some scribe
said of Miss Marie Doro that if
he were a theatrical manager, he
kkvaould cast her for Juliet. since in SO
AAor as looks were concerned no more
realistic n could be imagined.
Miss Doro il the Juliet of beautiful
women, as Dolores is the Helen of
Troy; as your favorite may possibly
suxsest Z Cleopatra or a Marie An
tofnette. With the lovely Marie Wis
ualized as Juliet you might well sym
pathize with the hypnotized Romeo's
state of mind when he gave speech to-:

Extrayagant? Well, Miss Doro
m~onopolizes so many graces and so
much beauty one just naturally does
become reckless with praise. A line

if it ever registered at all, yet the
most vivid mental picture l have of an
exquisitely beautiful woman is that
of Miss Doro on that occasion.
You know how it is-how for years
you will carry a beautiful bit Of land
scape, a CHEEKY tree in bloom, perhaps,
a poetical couplet Of rare charm, per-
haps a single flower in a lovely slender
vase-the picture haunts you with re-
current and irresistible appeal.
Is a Lovely Heroine
Beauty is a peculiar thing. II Is so
much a matter of taste like the beauty
of q gray Whistler day, q Spring Song,
or a Maria Chapdelaine. We see
women whose beauty is as obvious as
the Rheims cathedral, say. Women,
who have undefinable beauty, beauty
which almost remains q secret. There
are women whose beauty is like q we'll
arranged shop window, registering the
art Of display rather than appeal to the
emotions. OF Cleopatra we are told
her beauty was not so remarkable that
none could be compared to her, that
the contact of her person, her charm
of conversation, her voice were the
things that counted in her summing
up. But, is it not true that we think
Of Cleopatra not as beautiful figure
merely, but as living in a kingdom OF
beauty? We see her in the setting of
her beautiful barge with gilded stern
and outspread sails of purple, with sill
yer oars beating time to the music OF
flutes and harps?
Is it not the beauty with emotional
appeal which we view with keenest
delght?,
Miss Doro's is that quality of witch
cry. She is the answer to US roman
ticists who demand a lovely heroine
no matter who the plot, q lovely mag
azine cover regardless of the reading
matter. She is the lovely heroine of
Beauty which lives IN forever no mat
l ter what the changes in current beau
! ty fashion, and there's no denying that
the fashion Of beauty alters from time
to time.
Besides exquisite diagram of fea-
lures. she has a pair of dusky long
dashed eyes that have set many a
scribe to rhapsodizing under a thick
cloud of lark brown hair almost of
the hue of her eyes. The plquant
nose and delicately accentunted cheek
bones, transparent skin and a profile
long famous for its rare perfection.

cacy and ~daintiness of person, and you
have Miss Doro, whom | think one OF
the rare beauties among women.
What She Wore
7 saw her in her apartment In the
East Fifties a day or two after her
return from abroad, wearing a Paris
frock of dark brown and tan crepe,
beige stockings and red kid strap
pumps, a wide brown felt hat with a
great velvet bow on its left briIn, and
which, incidentally she told zoe had
made on her head as she waited TAX
Ing an entire afternoon for the opera
ton. The operation was successful.
The hat was stunning and from shoes
"a hat. including eyes and hair, a sym
phonic poem.
The shoes were a distinctly Pa

there. she told me. Very dark red they
were, so that at first glance they
seemed brown.

Her hair was brushed back into a sim

Il think hats are the most Important
item Of a woman's dress" she said
when we talked this Esperanto OF fem
mime language. II think pretty women
should wear large hats. They are the
frame Of the picture. The small tight
fitting hat is for the woman who IS
classified as smart rather than beauti-
full. OF course, no rules may be iald
down for hat wearing except the rule
the mirror and a clever mi1liner a
for the individual person. The Pa
risian hats are tremendously chic be-
cause the hat is made for the lndi-
vidual.
Says Dolores is Beautiful
