THE FATUOUS FLO.

The nation has learned to respect and admire the
Judgment OF one Flo ziegfeld in The matter Of
selecting American Beauties
His annual presentation Of feminine attraction is
the standard. Others have learned accept his de-
cisions as to the outstanding charmer Of the year
without question. the girl who aspires to king
dom in the world Of beauty knows that her throne
is secure II she is chosen and approved by this
arbiter.
The latest public appearance of this impressario
might lead to the suspicion that he has spent his
time in becoming expert only uron matters Of face
and form and that he knows little of what
goes on beneath those bobbed heads which he
gives his praise in those hearts which beat be
meath the chiffon OF the stage
For he attempts to accomplish the impossible
when he most publicly and pressagenty endeavors
to persuade his outstanding give up the man
che loves.
The wires and cables repeat his public advice TO
this dainty dancer who had admitted that she
about wed the male member of iilustrious
film family.
Taken for granted that the girl had firmly de-
. cided her course would require either fatu-
Gus. a courageous or a guileless make
effort stop her.
Especially is this true when he endeavors to die
suade her by throwing verbal brickbats the
OF her choice.
Others have tried that system and has always
failed For that is the glory Of womans love,
that CLOSES the faults with such mantle OF
charity and such an ideal Of perfection that all
apr reals to reason lose their power.
Fathers have tried the same system and will try
them again. Mothers have followed
and now following the ziegfeld method. the
granddaughter of the worlds richest is bonn
barded with threats appeals and protests from the
Of revenue. but sticks her foreign horse
man.
Flo failed to show that excellent dsoernment of
womans nature which he exhibits for pretty faces
when he tries to block the to the altar by calling
the successful a Stacker
He might have expected the form
OF the speediest of marriages
A woman in love will adorn the man Of her
choice. though he may be dissoute, hayward. unfit
with all the virtues and her eyes his very faults
take the attributes of strong appeal
When she has chosen. attacks vain and in
dictments futile. Which makes the world wonder
ful and opportunity the Flos their PRESS
agents add to the gaety of the summer season
~hy their rather ridiculous exhibitions.
