Mrs. Asquith, Selecting Worlds Most
 Lovely Woman, Gives Ideas on Beauty

New York, March 1S-The Countess 1 Minotto, wife of Count Minotto and | daughter of Louis F. Swift, million
 aire meat packer, is by all odds the | most beautiful woman in the world. 1 according to Nrargot Asqu:th, who startled the world with a book of the
 secrets of British society. Mrs. As quith has just completed 6 tour of ] America
 1 Putting 8 cigarette, held between
 restless fingers, she gave her ideas of l just what constitutes beauty. 1 Sensitive 1oveliness. face, form and
 grace!
 When beauty is the gift of the l Creator it is as fair art. Always | beautifu1 women have elegance. Countess M.notto has beautiful fea- lures, face, skin-and she has sweep.
 The French have words for it. / 1 wistfully Mrs. Asquith said a startling thing, as if she knew she
 was breaking a fond de1usion of mum berless women: @ Beauty is @ thing in itself" she de- clared. '-The Almighty is @ mighty handicapper, and when He gives >-
 ual beauty He does not always give marvellous intellect or soul The two things are separate One does not make the other.
 ..I Garry No Illusions" 'Jovehness-perhap a plain woIn- an can be lovely. Many ugly women are lovely. But beauty is beauty. I carry no illusions.
 "It does not necessarily need pa trician blood to breed it. It can spring out anywhere. I have seen
 many fair women in America, wom- en with the lovely expression of hu-
 man interest and sympathy that I love.
 "But if you ask me for really beau tiful women I'll have to tell you that have seen very few in my lifetime. Queen Alexandra of England is a beautiful woman; she is old now, but she was beautiful. Lady d'Abernon, wife of the British Ambassador to Berlin, Is a beautiful woman. Mrs. Langtry, of London. Yes, I've also met one in Canada-Mrs. Iawford, of Montreal
 Mrs Asquith let it be understood that praise from her is high praise. indeed. With slight lift of one shoulder-a frequent mannerisn- she reiterated her belief that beauty is very rare. You know even in Eng land, which is famous for beautiful women, we don't produce them every day.
 we live more in the open in Eng hay do something to our women. Princess Mary is charming. She is rosy and pretty and engaging--of the sweet and fresh type of English loveliness.

 As you read of him you condemn him with curling lips and flashing eyes. But girls. how about that good dancer who fascinates you? How about that reckless fellow who gives you Q good time for month and tells you boldly not to be thinking always of next week and next year. but just to take what you can get today?
 And boys, how about the pal, who sneers at your beliefs as old fash toned and is always suggesting a way to make the moments pass?
 Is he doing you anything but harm? Is the amusement he gives you and the excitement he causes you strong enough to balance the scale against the weakness and evil with which he leads you?

But I wouldn't let sister of mine have anything to do with him if I could help it.'
 And then we talked over this ''fas- cinatang Hal" and this is how George summed him up:
 He is confessedly out for a good time. He thinks we live for, today, and that a man is fool to worry about tomorrow. He insists that en- joyment is the most important thing in a world where there's plenty of chance for suffering.
 He has no use for a girl who doesn't subscribe to his doctrine of enjoyment He uses all his charm and mental gifts to persuade what ever girl he's with that she might as well enjoy the momentary attraction they have for each other. He insists that it's silly to wait for big love and pass over the fun of kiss and an embrace here and there taken in passing and meaning nothing more serious than the fun of love-making. He wants to be amused and stim- u1ated to enjoy all his appetreS, to feed well and to seize everything which charms him.
 He doesn't see any object in saving time. money or feelings.
 His idea of job is something which will yield him enough money to pay for what he wants. He can't see any object ip saving unless you can put a lot aside. So he isn't cul- ffvafing habits of frugality or seIf-de- nia1. @>
 He keeps his body in condition, be- cause he likes to be able to enjoy health and good times and to have any dissipation he wants to enjoy. But that all his gyn1nasiufn work and out door exercises won't carry him through youthful dissipation and late to old age with a fine constitution.
