And then she came, and all
Hollywood is still learning that the
half has not been told. For she
is a lovely, spontaneous child OF
varied moods. She possesses a
spirited assertiveneSs that is some
times disarrning, but it will give
her, in full measure, what she
wants Of life, for she will accept
few compromises.
Why is she beautiful in such
an exceptional degree?
Perhaps it is her eyes, deep blue
in color, sparkling with the same
sheen that has given to others like
them the poetic description OF be-
ing like bluebellS under water"
This clear, heather-bell blue is her
favorite color in clothes also and
in motor cars as well.
Then she was "April-born," and
this may endow her with an en-
livening change of temperament
and mood that is always men
toned when she is talked Of.
SUNNY-BROWN HAIR
Her hair is brown, that sunny
brown, that has golden tints fill
tered through it, and it is fine as
silk, but crisp with life and easily
arranged.
She wears it in many elaborate
styles, but is fond of covering her
small, high-poised head with small
roll-cluster curlS. After a middle
part, which is so becoming to her
low forehead line, these curlS are
caught up above her ears, before
allowed to have their way.
Perhaps you would like to hear
her beauty analysed, as 1 did the
other evening by one of the promi-
nent FreudianS, who can be found
in numbers out here, being inter
eSted in Hollywood at the moment.
She is not beautiful because her
features are Winsome, child-like
and symmetrical; nor because her
chin is pointed and her forehead
smoothly sculptured. No, all this
is true. but it is not why she is
so radiantly a successful screen
star
This is because her "unconsci-
GUS self is released" and this, in
turn, commands her EGO" domi-
mates it, and leads it along a
natural path of action, without
humping it into some Illustration
or psychic ENHANCEMENT" that
needs the effort of all of ones
three centers-mind, emotion and
inStinct-to annihilate.
So, there it is clearly stated.
Think it over as mental exercise
and see what comes of it.
Some say the spontaneous
Brightness" of her acting impulse
comes from the mixture of en-
vironment that gave her fusion
of French MarSeilleS and the
oriental Madagascar in her youth.
Born in the former, she sailed
with her mother at 10 years of
age to that strange island in the
beautiful Indian Ocean, just off
the coast OF AFRICA Wnere myriad
races mingle in the streets and
wander, charmed.
Her Background
At any rate, the legend Of
Silnone tells us that when she re-
turned, after seven years, to
Paris, Budapest, Turin, Berlin and
a dozen or more different school
ing stations" she could offer
sophistication of approach that
was not so much tinged by eXper-
fence as colored by genuine under

LOVeIOrm
Old Men Like
Young Girls
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Written Exclusively for The
Washington Times


Dear Miss Fairfax:
whats the world coming to,
when no man will look at a girl
beyond the 20-year limit? Believe
me, this gay young generation has
ruined life for older women. I've
been widow for Is years, am now
40 years old. 1 love to dance, like
music, love life and love company.
"Yet I sit alone, evening after
evening. When 1 go to a dance,
men old enough to die, on their
feet, just stand around unless they
can dance with a girl in the teens
or twentieS.
ITS disgusting to woman of
my age. Because the girls, if they
will dance with them, just make
fun and laugh. I'M. T."
There's no getting round it, my
dear lady. The Grandpas certainly
like to dance with girls in their
teens and twenties, even if it does
make them gasp for breath, and
threaten heart failure.
AS I've often remarked in this
column, it's like the last call for
dinner in the dining car, which
rounds up the passengers even
if they're not hungry. But wom-
an of 40 shouldn't allow herself
to go ION the shelf"
Be a joiner. Join clubs,
churches, political associations,
anything decent and respectable
which will enlarge your circle
of acquaintance.

DE a miser in the evening, and
ID carry your change and make
up in a miser bag-but a rich
looking one, of simulated pearls
and gilt beads. All sorts of bags
with draw-strings and unusual
shapes are smart this season, and
chief among them is the miser
bag. This one is of unusually
good quality and beauty for the
price, has a good lining and a
chain handle with draw-String eff
feet. It's large enough for all
your little necessities such as
handkerchief, rouge, lipstick and
powder, and is fitted with dou-
BILE face mirror. The style
sketched has a cluster of rhine
stones in the center of the design,
which makes it even richer look
ing. All of this lusciousness for
only So.

SHE BRAGS

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"She never refuses me when /
ask for a date, and though she has
never admitted her love, neither
has she kicked me down the
stairs The thing that irritates
me about her is that she's always
Dragging about the grand times
she has with other felIOwS-how
swell they treat her and the grand
places to which they take her
no expense spared, ETC., etc.
II do the best 1 can for her,
but I can't always be ritzy. When
she begins this kind of spiel, l
just say how grand it is she has
so many swell friends to whom
money is no object and to keep
right on and dig all the gold she
can out Of the plutOcratS. This
usually shuts her up.
II wouldn't mind marrying
this girl, but if she's going to
brag like that after we're mar
ried, excuse me!
"RED-HEAD."
This is an old trick on the part
of the fair sex and one that's
beginning to become threadbare.
In these days, when we're all
poor together, it is certainly not
in the best taste to brag about
pomp and circumstances showered
from other quarters.
Tactfully as possible, you might
intimate to this young lady that
these mirage effects are o. K. on
the part of a girl friend, but it
would be a terrific bore to domeS
ticate them.
This will also answer a young
man who signs himself "Aggra-
vated."

THEY INTERFERE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"Why do some girls parents
imagine if a fellow is a dud that
he'd make a more desirable hus-
band for their daughter than one
who enjoys a fair amount of pop
ularity?
"Heaven knows I'm no Don
Juan, or a philanderer, either. But
nature has gifted me with a good
voice, sing in a choir and get
invited out a great deal.
"NOw 1 happen to have fallen
head-Over-heelS in love with a
charming girl. She's rather quiet
and an only daughter. Her par
ents object to me because they
say I'm too popular. And they
are always advising her to go out
with dull and stupid fellows who
bore her to death.
"Why should male Dumb Dora
make a better husband? Genu
inely "PUZZLED."
Goodness only knows why the
girls parents imagine a stupid
young man would make a better
husband than one who is up-and
coming, and has a good voice in
the bargain.
Perhaps they may think that
after you're married and settled
down, you'll still want the ap
plause which is yours now for the
taking, and that simple fireside
joys wouldn't be enough for you
Remember that persistence will
wear down rocks of parental OBJ
jections.

ltcS-Canada Is not PARTICIPATING
have assembled around confer
ence table, but 1t Is the first time
that any conference has brought
out SO many distinguished diplo-
mats and higfl-ranking government
officials.
175 Peace Delegates
Altogether there are ITS dele
gates, Of whom 90 have full power
to commit their governments to any
peace plan which may materialiZe
from the month-long conference.
One of the largest delegations is
from the United States which sent
26 representatives, headed, OF
course, by the President and his
secretary Of state, Cordell Hull OF
Tennessee.
Some idea OF the Importance with
which President Roosevelt's confer
ence Is raned in the minds OF Latin
American observers was manifest In
the treatment given his arrival by
Buenos Aires newspapers.
Usurps First Paeg
MIR. Roosevelt forced the Spanish
civil war off the front pages for
the first time since the beginning
Of that conflict, while Journals Of
all political faiths united In express
ing their whole-hearted approval OF
the conference. Nowhere was there
a single discordant note.
One newspaper printed q large
American flag on Its front page
with President Roosevelt's picture
In the center.
Foreign observers, who have lived
here many years, were deeply i'm
pressed by the reception accorded
President Roosevelt. They said
It was certain to mark the Begin
ming of Renaissance Of Ameri-
can friendship which would take
concrete form In better trade rela-
tons.
Some observers believed that an
enlargement of the Monroe Doc
trine would materialize. Brazil,
1t was reported, was considering
suggesting plan, with American
approval, under which all Of the
| 81 American republics would unite
to prevent either European or
Asiatic aggression on the North
or South American continents.
Points Of Agenda
To make results easier to be OBJ
tanned, those in charge Of the peace
conference have eliminated many
purely academic details andn con-
fined the agenda to points Of vital
Importance in reaching the results
sought.
Point by point. the Agenda. is as
follows: .
l.. Methods for the organization
Of peace.
2. Neutrality: rights and duties
Of neutrals and belligerents.
3. Limitation OF ornaments.
4. Methods for future codifica-
ton OF international law.
6. Methods OF promoting closer
economic relations.
8. Methods to promote closer
cultural relations between the
American republics.

the intrests of foreign, dictatorial
goyernments-that France Is on the
verge of social revolution are wholly
unfounded.
France Is quiet, and calmly goes
about the task Of making necessary
social changes.
mo other country ever made such
profound social reforms with SO
little trouble. There Is a striking
comarison between what am try
ing to do in France and what Pres

America.
After all, am merely trying to
give France a New Deal Of Its own.
Referring to the important press
regulation bill which Is being debat-
ed In parliament today, and which
probably will curb libelous tenden-
cies even II 1t does not tone down
the caustic satire Of French editor
ial style, the Premier said:
I'VE could have accomplished
these necessary reforms months age
il we had in France the laws you
have in America. 1t Is not necessary
to eliminate opposition; 1t Is neces'
sary to prevent them from destroy
ing the necessary government in

London, Dec. - CUP - Thous-
ands of Germans and Frenchmen
have arrived in Spain to fight In
opposing Nationalist and Loyalist
armies as volunteers, according to
reliable news which reached the
government today and brought
threats Of fresh International COM
p!icationS.
A newspaper report that a Rus
sian general and 100 Russian offic-
ers were in charge Of the govern
ment defenses at Malaga has not so
far been confirmed by British au-
thorities.
Experts expressed the view that
in the case of the thousands OF
Germans reported TO have arrived
at Seville, in Southern Spain, they
could have left Germany only with
the knowledge and consent Of Ger
man authorities owing to the dras-
tic currency restrictions as well as
the sharp control on ports Of emf
grafton.
The Frenchmen might conceivab-
ly have slipped across the border
without knowledge OF higher au-
thorities.
The figure Of 5000 has been men,
toned as the possible total Of Ger
mans, who arrived at Cadi2 In at
least two ships and proceeded to
Seville. The Frenchmen were sup
posed to be at Barcelona with the
Loyalists.
The British advices were con-
firmed to the United Press In quar-
tiers close to the German embassy.
These quarters said the number ar
rived at Seville was between 1000
and 5000 and that they left Ger
many as volunteers" only after
several thousand French recently
reached. Barcelona.
