| NEW YORK, June 12.-Elinor
Glyn always reminds you that she

ways mentions it. Her personal APP
pearance suggests nothing Of the
sort.
In these days when SO many
women are more interested in being
rejuvenated than in counting their
chtldren's children, Mrs. Gyms de-
light in her newest grandchild-girl,
name Susan Elinor, and fortnight

famous author is back today from
London to attend to matters con-
nected with the filming Of her
novels.

none Of which she owes to Vienna

Don't save too much and look
shabby. That is also too expensive.
Il "Spend a fair amount on dress
the sinews of war.
i Spend enough on dresses to
better your conditions and chances
in life.
Eat and drink in moderation:
sleep with loads OF fresh air in your

Don't smoke too many cigar

/ "It is the duty Of every woman
to preserve herself" Mrs. Glyn is
emphatic.
But no amount OF art, no amount
Of these rejuvepation operations we
ear OF, and no amount OF cosmetics
will ever preserve the looks Of q
woman who has an ugly spirit, who
Is jealous and mean. And who
this is 1mportant-takes cocktails
and smokes to excess"
How does smoking, for instance,
affect ones appearance?" ElinOr
Glyn was asked.
Women can, see what it does to
their exquisite amber and diamond
holders IL they do not clean them
after four days use. Why then
are they willing to let the same
thing happen to their breathing
apparatus? Imagine what exces.

nerves and the breath!
The only reason we don't al.
ways see the results OF excessive
smoking, drinking and eating is
that the wonderful sap Of youth

puts into her system leaves its lit.

today holds onto the charm sher
mother had" said El1nor Glyn.
We should all try to preserve
charm above all things-it is fast

To keep young one should al.

the servant, and above all things
not recognize the possibility Of old

"A woman-speaking of the reju-
venated one-haS a right to live
her youth over again, but she
should not be undignified at amy

OF sixty to dance with boys of
twenty-five, but she must not make
herself ridiculous by falling in s1ove
with them. Dancing is just dancing
and not talking-it doesn't matter.
