Authorities

Opinions
The Bone Structure
OF Head and Legs
Tell Character
Nv PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Two of the worlds foremost au-
thorities on feminine beauty are
diametrically opposed in their theo-
ries on how to pick a beautiful
wife from the mass of beautiful
women!
Says James Montgomery Flagg,
the noted artist and illustrator:
Take your prospective wife to
a phrenologist." GA scientist who
claims to read character and what
not from the shape of your head!
Says Leroy Prinz, famous dance
director in Hollywood:
Take your girl to the beach,"
And then the two men decided
to explain their theories. Lasting
beauty, Flagg maintains, depends
upon bone structure and true
facial beauty does not exist without
a shapely skull!
Your bones" the artist ex-
plains, determine proportion. The
spacing of the eyes, shape Of the
nose, depth and width of lips are
determined largely by skull forma-
ton. And structure of your limbs
determines the grace of movement.
Women whose bodies are well pro-
portioned cannot help being grace
full"
James Montgomery Flagg thinks
Madelaine Carroll has one OF the
most perfectly formed heads he has
ever seen. But he did not say her
figure was the most beautiful he
had ever seen. Perhaps we are to
draw the conclusion that If her
head is perfect her entire body is
perfectly proportioned.
Being in the show business, train
ing many girls to dance each year,
convinces Mr.. Prinz a girls charac-
ter and beauty can be quickly
judged by scrutinizing her legs, far
more easily than by feeling the
bumps on her head.
Whether girls current beauty
will be lasting is revealed complete
ly by her legs" Prinz states definite
ly. If your girl has long knees,
she is affectionate, considerate, loyal
and dependable.
IF your girl is the careless type
who will not keep up her beauty
in. later years, you will be able to
Judge by uneven, slipshod steps
when she walks. There is no
rhythm to her leg movement.

girl will be too lazy to care for

"A quarrelsome nature, coupled
with a bad temper, is indicated by
hard muscles which appear sharp
ly in the calves of her legs when
they are fixed. Such a girl will
quickly line her face and lose the
sparkle in her eyes!"
Unfortunately both these men are
limited-or biased, in their judg-
ment. The artist looks at a girl
as a subject to paint, the dance
director looks at a pair of legs as
part of a good looking leg chorus

pears or cherries or Strawberries is
put down to "a good year" and no
more Is thought about it.
If one stops, however, to think
back on the old days, when seasons
were seasons. and fruit and vege-
tables and meats we're the inferior
specimens they must have been, one
readily grasps the magnitude of
this work of food improvement.
Among the most outstanding
achievements of growers in fairly
recent years has been that seen in
Strawberries.
Less than 100 years ago the only
Strawberries our ancestors knew
grew wild, out of doors in patches.
Cultivation has been rapid and
astonishing. We are assured of
long season of deliciously ripened
and cared-for fruit at astonishingly
low prices. (And, remember those
miserable little berries wrapped in
cotton wool told you about last
year so proudly offered me by
maitre d'hotel on the Riviera?)
Here in this country amazing strides
have been made towards producing
the perfect strawberry-and growers
are still working on the problem for
all they are worth.
The Bureau of Home Economics
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture has just issued release
on this very subject. 1 wish we had

berry breeding program of the de-
partment is to develop big berries
40 or less to a quart. Another is to
get into them the rare fragrance
that early settlers found in the wild
meadow berries along the Atlantic
coast.
According to George DarroW
strawberry breeding specialist, aroma
is one of the most elusive of all
qualities to breed into berry. When
he samples his experimental berries
with his nose as we'll as his tongue
he finds that many of his promising
hybrids do not have aroma. And
some that are fragrant on the vine,
lose their aroma after they're picked
Some Of the other characteristics
that breeders the country over are
trying to get in strawberries are
an even better flavor and finer
color-uniformity of size-resistance
to disease. And they are working
on special characteristics that will
make berries more satisfactory
for different purposes-for canning,
freezing, preserving or eating raw.

When is the honeymoon over? Is
it sign that it has set when the
husband lays aside the sweet talk
and gets out the hammer? Is 1t
proof that the romance is over when
the bride begins to wonder why her

seems to be just exactly what he
didn't want in wife?
These are questions that rudely
awaken many woman from loves
young dream. One bride who is
bothered and perplexed over the
change that has come over her hus-
band since their wedding day wants
to know how about it.
She says: II had looked forward
to my honeymoon as the happiest

party that would go on and on,
maybe for years-but now, although
we have only been married a few
months, my husband has turned
from lover into critic and nothing
I do pleases him. He says to me:
You don't know how distasteful you
are to me, but I love you, anyway

the way you act, the way you look,
nor the way you talk
