of beauty. wonder to how many the
manner and the appearance of Queen
Elizabeth we're reminders of the lovely
women whom Charles Dana Gibson
drew? Those were, indeed, almost
precise counterparts, with the same
combination of animated friendliness,
restraint, and grace of manner.
Quite apart from royalty. too, there
have lately been many other illustra-
tions of the beauty of formality that
are equally - perhaps even more -
important For example, the ballroom
scenes in half dozen different motion
pictures: The Great Waltz. Mayer
ling" "Pygmalion." THE Story of
Vernon and Irene Castle" These have
all done their part in bringing back
the old-time beauty of bathrooms.
Small wonder that nostalgia for the
grace and the distinction, that not so
long ago were to be found wherever
Society" could claim the right to its
name, takes possession of all of us who
can remember! At that we need not
remember so very long. only as far
back as the beginning of the depres-
sion, when the entire picture of a
formal social world fell to pieces like
taken-apart jigsaw puzzle, which has
not been put together again. We look
at the disconnected pieces and, for
getting the picture as whole. we also
forget that without standards of
excellence to live up to, without self
disciplined training in the habits of
courtesy, without fastidious taste,
there can be neither dignity nor
beauty Most of the commonplace
happenings of our daily lives would be
extremely unpleasant were it not for
the exactions of formality.
All the effort we make whether
little or much) to be kind, to be cour-
teous, to be pleasing in appearance is
due to training in the precepts of for

social world to which they belong
Whether they be words of daily
greeting, acts of courtesy shown tel
strangers, or to neighbors, or to near
est and dearest members of the family
circle, all the formalities have as their
object contribution to beauty. III
may be beauty OF form or outline. or
ease or pleasantness; but it is beauty
nevertheless. In short, the observance
of formality is not merely something
to be brought out of the camphor
chest, upon ceremonial occasions, but
is essential to our most intimate lives.
1t is the impulse of most of us to try
to look our best and behave our best
among a lot of strangers, for whom
we care nothing and who care nothing
about us. Actually, it is vitally impor-
tant that our nearest family, our dear
est friends, shall find us as nearly
perfect as we can manage to be. I'M
other words, it ought not to be neces-
sary to advise that we take the same
pains for those we love best in the
world, as we take for total strangers
1t is true that many precepts of
convention have to be recut to fit the
modern need, and that certain new
designs for living, as we'll as new de-
signs for fashions, must be continu-
ously adapted to our use if we would
not be dowdy- minded as we'll as dowdy-
looking. But this does not mean that
we are to attempt every freak fashion,
or accept the sloppy pattern of bel
havior of certain conspicuous mem
bers of our younger generation as thu
new standard. Nor is it necessary thai
we think everything our bright youn'
people do is better than all the thing1
that their parents did!

- NE thing, of which our recent
royal visitors have made many
~ of us aware, is that what the
world of today really needs is not less
formallty, but more. The effect Of
their visit has been, to me at least,
distinctly disturbing. 1t has set me to
wondering whether my efforts to be
