Here I am once again writing to ou
about beauty.
1 should hesitate to do so If it were
.
not a Mb'ot aoout which eer won.an
ts keenly Interested, and which also oc
cupies the mind of man good deal of
the time.
I am willing to write about bca.it) to
(.'vulgo those secrets which have helped
me gain my reputation for good looks,
and when I speak about, my o n looks, (
iinucrsiann mat i no it in the most im
personal way.
To be beautiful, at least-to be a,s beau
tiful as I can be. Is a matter of the ut
.most importance to me because It helps
me in my work. My looks first attracted
the attention of t the public toward nie,
and It was due to such looks as I had
that I gained the approbation of tho
critics.
I am above all else u business woniuu
Intent on earning a certain sum of
money which will secure me complete
j independence from hard work when tin I
I time arrives when 1 shall be no longer
joiing. pret'lj and full rf health and vi
tality, rfml- no longer have the good
I rortuno to please the public.
There Is a great difference between tho
attitude of fthe so-called professional
biauty and the beautiful woman In tho
ordinary and more sheltered walks of
life toward tills question of beauty
T once heard the most beautiful actiess
in America, say that her reputation for
beauty was a sort of Iron ball to which
she was always chained, and which mado
her a slave. "If 1 should be seen In pub
lic, even once, with my hair badly ilti-
, dulated and a shiny nose. It would cost
trie an enormous amount of money, be
, cuueo people would say: 'Dear inc. how
j she's gone off In looks.' and that would
1 affect the box office, which In turn would
1 affect my .salary."
I So this very Intelligent woman who
I often would have preferred to spend her
time In other ways, who would like to
have kept up with all that was best In
modern Ilteratuio. who was immensely
Philanthropic and would have liked to
give somo attention to charitable work
spends almost all her life takli.g cure of
her beauty and sho admits that It Is
drudgery pure and simple.
If she were not ft beauty and did not
devote most of her attention to her looks,
however, she could not earn the largo
sums of money which she gives Jo charity,
i.or would sho bo able to help young and
ttruggllng artists and writers.
Hcauty Is a business asset, but tho
lfo of the professional beaijty Is not tho
gay butterfly existence It jis pictured to
be, but one o't painstaking, system'utlc
care, which necessitates abstaining from
most of the things one would like to eat.
not doing most of the things one would
like to do.
Kor thero Is no elixir of youth, no
fountain of beauty. They ate tho result
of intelligent and systematic care of the
body, nnd the modern beuuty. provldnig,
of course, she has some foundation of
good looks to start With, studies the mat
ter scientifically and becomes beautiful
by dint of hard work.
In France we say: "You must suffer
to bo beautiful." That was because In
olden times women did so many ridicu
lous and barbarous tilings to enhance
their complexion. They put clothes pins
on their nosir., and compresses of raw
beef over their faces which could have
been anything but pleasant.
Today the proverb could Ijo changed
you must work to be beautiful.
I have been reading a great deal about
eugenics lately In the dally papers. I
take It that this means tho production of
r perfect race,, governed by all the known
laws of health and hygiene. Kugonlc
babies ought to grow up Into beautiful
men and women, for beauty gets Its real
start In babyhood.
Of course, I know that many famous
beauties have come from the most
wretched and even squalid beginnings.
Still, as a general rule, the child whose
advent was longed for, whose babyhood
was carefully watched and guarded over
by love and affection and whose early
training was Intelligent and even scienti
fic, hus the best chance to grow up to
happy and healthy maturity.
Happiness Is the dancing partner of
beauty. They can hardly be dissociated;
where you have a happy child you gener
ally have a pretty one. But the little girl
who is gloomy and sad Is involuntarily
CopyrJtht,
lli'tiuty s a uuslm-hH uvpet. but tho
gay butterfly uxl.stcuco It Ih plcluicil
casting her features Into a look of settled
melancholy or discontent. Neither of
thso Is beautiful.
Ho It wo arc to start out with the
secrets of beauty, let Us begin ut the very
beginning with a happy childhood.
It Ib said that the women of tho hard
laboring classes uge prematurely. Nat
urally, they must, for long beforo they
havn reached an age whero tho normal
child could understand about serious
things, like work nnd responsibility, thoy
have taken their load of tho family bur
den and are already hard at work plod
ding nnd tolling to support their meagrn
home.
A long, slow and very gradual develop
ment, both of tho physical nnd mental,
aro needed to store up vitality und health
which will he used to make tho future
beuuty.
In the meantime there ate all kinds
of sports and oxerches to dovclop the'
llttlo body and bring It to its highest point
of perfection.
If a child is not properly formed almost
any Imperfection can bo overcome If
taken young enough and systematically
worked at.
Kyes that are crossed can be mado nor
mal; and we have In France, just as I am
sure you have here, many schools whero
gymnastics are taught for children under
the supervision of a doctor, who exam
ines the children catefully and gives them
the. exercises needed to correct whatever
Imperfections they muy have.
Don't forget that the foundation of
beauty Is laid hqfore one Is 10 years old,
and see that you aro not neglecting the

O'er tho mortals who are gropliiR through

Advice to Lovelorn.
My I1KATRICK FAIRFAX.
Write 1 1 1 til.
Dear .Miss Fairfax' I am lu love with
a young man a few years my senior, and
I know my love Is returned. A few days
uro wo were talking ubout other people,
and I said u great many things I know
he did not like to hear come from my Hps.
I deeply regret them, us I am ,i very
decent girl, and want him to think so,
too, Would you advise mc to telephone
to him and explain, and ask his for
Klvenness'. h'OltUKT-MK-NOT.
It would bo better tasto to write a little
note saying you regret what you said.
Don't mnko It as penitent us If life de
pended on his forglvcnness, and don't.
I beg, bo so reckless with words In the
future.
Ask Her,
Deur .Miss Fairfax; I am a young mih
of IT and have known a girl eight montlis
my senior for a year and, a half, t cart
a gond deal for her, and am sure she
knows It, for I have shown It lu every
way. How can 1 find out If she ca,rs
for iiteY A. M
If you must know the state of bur
heart, ask her. Iltit tlilnk, first; Arje
you not too young to be speculating lii
hearts' Tho question you would ask
tho girl In equivalent to a proposal of
marriage. ' You uro too young for that
Walt until you are old enough to know
your own mind, nnd In position to sup
port two.
, Don't Spenk to lllm Attain.
Deur Miss Fairfax: I am 16 years of
aifo, Last summer I met a man six years
my senior whom I-have learned to lov
dearly, and know that my love Is recipro
cated. .Mv father was opposed to hlirl,
anil Insulted him, which he. took like k
man, and 1 was forbidden to speak tt
him. I had not spoken to him for about
three weeks, and one day I met him.
lireaklug my lather's commnnd, I spoke
to him. nnd fof-J wn loved ench otliw
dearly. I speak to a number of other
men, but I find that 1 couldn't love any
as I love him. THUPTFUl. j
You ate only 1C, and your father knows
better than you know who la the beijt
company for you. Don't speak to thp
man nguhi; mako no attempts to se
him nnd don't deceive your father or
disobey him again.
.Vol ii (.rent Issue.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Is It a young mania
idacc. when In church, to put In a colled
tion forMho young lady, or Is It her plurfs
to put lu her own? FANNY.j
If' the young man puts In the collection
for the girl, It shows ii spirit of gaJlantrj'.
but it Is not sho who docs the giving. If
her conscience tolls her to give to tl(e
church, her escort cannot relieve her con
science of thnt duty.
