7 OS ANGELES, Cal.-(Special Cor
l. respondence.l = What does the
most beautiful woman in the
world, Miss Katherine Macdonald, do
to maintain the perfect symmetry of
her figure? Does she exercise daily!
Has she a trainer, as did one great
beauty of another generation, Miss
Lillian Russell. to work with her daily,
put her through an abbreviated army
drill. and teach her bag punching and
a few other we'll known athletic tricks
by which she may hope to, defy time
and the softening tissue it appends to
inactive frames?
There is no criticism to be made
anent this beautiful woman's method
of taking care of her complexion. for
she is an intense believer in water
internally and externally: of soap, too.
Her hair she gives most excellent care.
brushing it and massaging the scalp
that its luster may not be dimmed. OF
her nails. her teeth. her eyes. it may
be said they reflect the daily care that
counts for longevity in a beauty way.
OF her diet there can be no criticism,
for she eats sanely and wisely, inter-
spersing fruits and vegetables gener-
! ously into her daily meals. But in my
opinion Miss Macdonald relies too
strongly upon her diet and a provident
nature to take are of her figure to be
assured of maintaining for years the
spotlight in which she now revels as
the worlds most beautiful woman.
Prevention Is Better Part.
Up to date she has had practically
no worry about increasing weight.
And I fancy she is far too clever.
once detecting avoirdupois. not to get
down to active reconstructive work
Immediately. But why wait until the
thing is upon one, particularly when
so cnviable a reputation is to be sus-
tanned? Nature has been unduly kind
to her. Now is her time TO return the
compliment, So that a few years hence
nature may not feel betrayed. There
is just a hint of laziness of muscles in
the way she stands. n dropping of the
shoulders which presages the need of
q trifle more muscular activity, a
slight slumping at the waist line.
Lack of space is her excuse. Per-
haps now that she occupies the center

of the stage among national beauties
she will more fully realize the need,
that is. if she would keep on occupying
the center of the stage. l don't be-
lieve Miss Macdonald ever dreamed
of occupying her present exalted posi-
ton. nor coveted it. Out of a world
of beauties she was chosen by scores
of discerning judges as the greatest
beauty of them all. Her face. her
hair. her eyes, her hands. her feet and
ankles, all agreed set her apart and
above her fair rivals. But a slight
reservation of approval was maintained
on the youthful agility of her figure
in several instances of judging.
Compared With Venus &c Milo
Comparing her measurements with
those Of the celebrated Venus de Milo.
which is the favorite comparison of
artist judges, one would be somewhat
to sea unless n would accept the
Venus measurements as rather widely
divergent from those of our popular
modem type Of girl. / think the mod

For instance. Venus waist measured

with slightly more developed bust and
slenderer hips.
Danger of Motoring
Miss Macdonald does exercise spas
medically. She likes to ride horseback.
and she does internationally. She likes
to play tennis, too, and even here in
California where it is possible TO in
dulge in this fine game the year around
it is not what one could call a con-
sistent daily habit with her.
She has a large car, which she drives
herself. having long ago dispensed with
a chauffeur's services for the sheer
fun of doing her own driving. But,
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-04

like many another beauty, she depends
too much upon her car for locomotion.
In fact. one might safely remark that
many an erstwhile beauty has driven
herself or been chauffeured into adj
pose and oblivion by this unhealthful
though perfectly delightful, manner of
arriving at ones destination.
Exercise Must Be Regular
| make this criticism of the beauti-
full Miss Macdonald perhaps because ]
am jealous for her that she may long
retain her reputation as the greatest
living beauty and because | sense the
need of some more definite and con-
sistent form of muscular activity.
Horseback riding is highly benefi-
cial, but is, unfortunately, outside the
financial possibilities of the average
woman; not, however. of a high priced
movie star. Done regularly, it alone
would keep one in fine muscular con-
dition. And tennis is just about as
fine a recreation as could be suggest
ed. 1t involves the turn of every mus
Gle in the body. and the stretching in
volved puts a tug on the arm, waist,
leg, and even the toe muscles. Done
once in a while. il is little if any bet
ter than if the sport were not INDUCED
in at all.
Miss Macdonald plays golf indif-
ferently, she confessed to me, another
form OF exercise which involves health
full enthusiasm. outdoor air, and mus
Gle stretching.
Working Hours Are Long
OF course, it must be confessed that
the life of a movie star OF picture
making duty is combining, From s in
the morning until 6 at night are the
working hours, / am told. On location
sometimes the rising hour is earlier,
and the end of the day not called IN
til the light begins to dim. Perhaps
the short lived picture careers of the
stars, excepting a few notables whose
pure h~istrionic talent carries them, is
due to their failure to maintain youth
at the cost Of personal liberty. 1t may
be a tickle public. I don't know. But
! am told by managers and directors
that it is the exceptional ones who
survive four or five years.
1t is because Miss Macdonald is so
extremely beautiful that ! want to see
her survive not years but generations,

Arthur Crabb has left his accustomed
field of mystery and in ben Thorpe
(The Century Co... the creator OF

Ben Thorpe is. an odd silent, un-
likablc yet withaI appealing character
as drawn by Mr.. trabb. A street gamin
and founding. he is adopted by n
kindly hearted railroad engineer who
sees in him latent possibilities.
Thorpe makes good this surmise but
carries through life an unusual dislike
for all women. Born of a mother Of
more than questionable character and
with a dour, chccrcss woman as his
foster mother, Thorpe's dislike of the
sex is not to be wondered at. And as his
contact. in Mr.. Crabb's story. usually
presents the fair sex in the most un-
favorable light, the dawning and waxing
of Thorpe's romance is slow, but in
cvitable. Mr.. Crabb's premise seems to
be that "they all fall sooner or later"
And. Of course, Ben does finally.
Taken away from his usual field Of
interviewer plot and Counterplot the
author seems to be cropping bit but
the fidelity of his character drawing
cannot be denied and his college scenes
have buoyancy Of youth that is re-
frcshing.
