Jhe TWELVE MOST BEAUTIFUL OMEN IN AMERICA -1 §W TORK, Dre. 30.—Some scribe said of Miss Marie Doro that if he wore a theatrical manager, he uM east lier fdr Juliet, since in so as looks were concerned 110 more istic one could be imagined. Miss Doro is tlie Juliet of beautiful women, as Dolores is the Helen of Troy; as your favorite-'may possibly auffeilt * Cleopatra or a Marie An toinette. With Jhe lovely Marie vis ualized as Juliet you might well sym pathize with the hypnotized Romeo's state of mind when lie gave speech to: "One fairer thai) my love! the all seeing sun Ne'er MW her match since first the world begun." Extravagant? Well, Miss Doro monopolizes so many graces and so much beauty one just naturally does become reckless with praise. A line nf Burke's bombast to Marie Antoin ette recalled itself to me as l sut fac ing the bewitching creature: "Surely never lighted on this orb a more de lightful vision." She is a thing of exquisite beauty. And a joy forever you may without trepidation prophesy. She looks younger, if anything, than when first I saw her quite a few years ago. It was in the "Butterfly on the Wheel." The plot long since sunk into oblivion, if it ever registered at all. yet the most vivid mental picture I have of an exquisitely beautiful woman is that of Miss Doro on that occasion. You know how it is—how for years you will carry a beautiful bit of land scape, a cheery tree in bloom, perhaps, a poetical couplet dt rare charm, per haps a single flower in a lovely slender vase—the picture haunts you with re current and irresistible appeal. Is a Lovely Heroine Beauty is a peculiar thing. It is so much a matter of taste like the beauty of a gray Whistler day, a Spring Song, or a Maria Chapdelaine. We see women whose beauty is as obvious as the Rheims cathedral, say. Women, who have undefinable beauty, beauty which almost remains a secret. There are women whose beauty is like a well arranged shop window, registering the art of display rather than appeal to the emotions. Of Cleopatra we are told her beauty was not so remarkable that none could be compared to her; that the contact of her person, her charm of conversation, her voice were the things that counted in her summing up. But, is it not true that we think of Cleopatra not as beautiful figure merely, but as living in a kingdom of beauty? We see her in the setting of her beautiful barge with gilded stern and outspread sails of purple, with sil ver oars beating time to the music of flutes and harps? Is it not the beauty with emotional appeal which we view with keenest delight? Miss Doro's is that quality of witch ery. She is the answer to us roman ticists who demand a lovely heroine no matter who the plot, a lovely mag azine cover regardless of the reading matter. She is the lovely heroine of Beauty which lives on forever no mat ter what the changes in current beau tv fashion, and there's no denying that the fushioii of beauty alters from time to time. Besides exquisite diagram of fea tures, she has a pair of dusky long lashed eyes that have set many . a scribe to rhapsodizing under a thick cloud of dark brown hair almost of the hue of her eyes. The piquant nose and delicately accentuated cheek hones, transparent skin and a profile long famous for its rare perfection, added to that undeniably greatest of all beauty appeal, an exquisite deli cacy and daintiness of person, and you have Miss Doro, whom I think one of the rare beauties among "women. What She Wore I saw her in her apartment in the East Fifties a day or two after her return from abroad, wearing a Paris frock of dark brown and tan crepe, beige stockings and red kid strap pumps, a wide brown felt hat with a jreat velvet bow on its left briin, and which, incidentally she told me had made on lier head as she waited tak ing an entire afternoon for the opera tion. The operation was successful. The hat was stunning and from shoes to hat, including eyes and hair, a sym phonic poem. . The shoes were a distinctly Pa risienne note, jind quite the vogue over there, she told me. Very dark red they were, so that at first glance they seemed brown. "I must show you the cute gloves they are wearing over there," she said, producing n pair of short black kids, white stitched with tiny cuffs of the black pinked like a corsage paper base in white. "I saw a great beauty over there at a dinner just a few nights before I came away, wearing these short gloves with a <»ecollette gown, arms perfectly bare, of course. Her hair was brushed back into a sim ple knot and she was a picture, remi ' iii6cent of the 1830's. '•I think hats are the most important item of a woman's dress," she said when we talked this Esperanto of fem inine language. "I thiiik pretty women should wear large hats. They are the frame of the picture. The small tight fitting hat is for the jivoman who is classified as smart rather than beauti ful. Of course, no rules may be laid down for hat wearing except the rule the mirror and a clever milliner makes for the individual person. The Pa risian hats are tremendously chic be cause the hat is made for the indi vidual. Says Doloros Is Beautiful We talked generally abolit beauty and dress. Said the lovely Marie: "Dress is n language that speak; 1 . The mistakes are grammatical errors, an$ put one out of the picture quite as m ich as bad 'English does. The French have per fect diction in this regard aid I think that is where they get thiir reputa tion for pulchitrude. Th< r do not make mistakes in dress. "J have been pretty mucl over the world and have seen beauty in differ ent countries. Curious isr t it, how vou will sec the beautiful v mm who kre not pretty and pretty v -men who are not beautiful. It is all «interest ing. In Sicily there you see the world famed beauties, cold an- haughty beauties, when up steps a pr< ican girl with her verve an. dash and you change your admiration from the beautiful to the pretty. î "But of all the beautifu&vomen I have ever seen in my lrfefcnywhere uave evtj. « sunerlatlely beau 4°».

Weighs 112 Pounds "How about a few little beauty se crets?" I urged. "I wish some one would tell me how to get fat," she sidestepped. I sup pose you always want to be what you are not. I would like to be tall and beautiful like Dolores. Next^to that I want to put on some weight. Miss Doro is 5 feet 4 and weighs 112 pounds, which seemed to me sufficient weight to carry, for certainly no bones were showing: no lines, no single im perfection of detail. She is the young est looking person imaginable. Sne could pass easily for one in her early twenties. ,, . "Not being beautiful, she said in all sincerity, "I can't give beauty se crets, but I have a health one_ that I practice religiously. To put it very badly, it is keeping my insides clean. I choose my diet so that each day niy system is provided_ foods that help, m the process of elimination.

I have a firm conviction that "half the ills of the world are due to carelessness in this regard. The looks are regulated by it, too; the eves, the skin and the hair, As much thought to keeping oneself clean inside should be given as the out. I have b^en in pictures so long where, of course, you have little time for ex ercise, so that I have to watch myself more carefully than one who has the opportunity for exercise." , , . Miss Doro's eyes and skin and hair are convincing testimony of the sanity of the advice, which every medical man; would substantiate as the best bit of health and beauty advice that could be given. "I wash my face with soap and water although I have to listen now and then to advice from people not to do this. But I don't, see how anyone can be clean without soap and water. I can't, I know. I never had a massage in my life. But naturally my face does get cold creaming enough when I am mak ing up. "i>ut I'll tell you an awfully good thing for the face. My mother has used it for years and I use it frequent It cleans the pores out wonder | fully. And 1 think acts as an astring ent, too. Studies Beautiful Women "O, T do something that I think might be helpful. Before I take my hot bath I smear my face with cold cream and let that remain on while I bathe. The steam and the lieat of the body seem to make the cream pene trate the pores better and after my bath I wipe it oft and then wash my face with soap and water. "That really is a helpful hint, as those of us who have stolen a march on the facial masseuse at th the Turkish bath may testify to. I have applied the cream before entering the steam room and it is most effective as a mas sage. "I love to watch a beautiful woman love to study her. Her grace of I walk, her posture as she sits, stands, moves. People ought to develop n I sense of beauty just as other senses are developed. By that I mean study ing art as it is presented by the great sculptors. There is a world of learning in that for us women. Studying the lines of a woman's neck intrigues me, the back of the neck from the shoul ders up to the hair. I love that grace ful line there you see on some women. And vet, so many woman let them selves slump. They let the head push forward in a lazy way and destroy the symmetry there. It is simply a matter of holding the head up as though it were still attached to the spine. I have become so interested' in it that it has made me watch out for my own. "I think aesthetic dancing wonderful up to & certain point. It develops the sense of beauty as it applies to the body. But the mistake there is in con tinuing on until one gets 'posey. I practice poses with statuary as my guide, graceful, meaning poses, but it is like practicing the scales in music, the rudimentary effort must be forgot ten in the execution of a piece, or like learning the technique of a song and singing it without trace of technique, f think that the way to acquire grace, lu other words, learn and then forget the rules."
