Senator Dan Landon, to be sure.
Where is there a homelier cuss?
Miss Fonda is one of (hose chosen
as the most beautiful in each state by
the Universal Film Co. of California
for a trip to the San Francisco expo
sition. She was selectedhby a com
mittee of competent judges.
Being .the most beautiful girl in
Washington has its advantages. Here
are some of them:
Miss Fonda has been congratulated
by everybody.
She was sought by Mayor Gill as
his partner in leading the grand
march at the Movie Operators' ball
here.
She has received a beautiful set of
toilet requisites from a cosmetic com
pany. Magazines and books have been
sent her by nearly every publisher in
America.
She has been made a handsome
traveling suit for her trip from Se
attle to Chicago, and thence to San
Francisco and University City, CaL,
by an Eastern tailor.
And" oh the trip East she was the
special guest of the Milwaukee road.
Its garlanded auto took her from her
'oorstep to her special compartment
n the crack train, "Olympian.'
In hetbserYatton car she was the
honored guest at informal receptions
daily t?ll she reached Chicago.
On the way from that city to Cali
fornia she and the other most beau
tiful girls' were chaperoned by Mrs.
Champ Clark, wife of the speaker of
the house; Mrs. Frances Wayne, a
Denver literary woman; Mrs. Pauline
Smart, Cleveland club woman; Mrs.
C. B. Bryan of Memphis, a Southern
social leader, and Mrs. Anne Cum-
M"ns Frye, a Boston writer.
Mere is Miss Fonda's interview
with the "homeliest man."
BY GERTRUDE FONDA
Senator Dan Landon was intrc
t duced to me as the "homeliest man"
in. Seattle, He admitted, laughingly;
that he deserved the distinction.
I saw, and shook hands with, a big
man, somewhat loosely built, but giv
ing withal a suggestion of power. My
hand seemed swallowed up in his big
palm. He gave me a quick.hearty
hand-shake and let go. It was the
hand-shake of a man of decision.
. He could have crushed and broken
my hand with ease; but his grip was
gently firm. He laughed as he greet
ed me, and I knew by his hand-shake,
his smiling mouth and his eyes,
which went almost shut, when he
laughed, that he was a kindly man
who found much pleasure In life and
who would not use his power cruelly.
Why do women like "homely"
men
I do not know why. I only know,
that we do.
When I analyzed Senator Landon's
face I had to admit that not a single
feature stood the artistic test. The
'mouth is much too large, the jaw too
heavy. There is hardly any regular-'
ity in the other features, and the
whole is crowned by a ridiculous
shock of short, stubborn hair, which
evidently, no amount of brushing and
combing will put in order.
The senator's broad shoulders are
hunched. His arms and legs are too
long.
The features, I say, will not stand
analysis.
But the ensemble is fine!
I cannot tell you why it is fine, but
I know that most women like and ad
mire the Dan Landon type of men.
Few women aspire to marry hand
some men. We like them big, strong,
healthy, hrainy, gentle, masterful,
protective, loving and "homely."
