Beauty is a matter of opinion. Tt Is not an existing actual quality. No two people see beauty in the same light. What is bf-au tiful Lo one individual Is often commonpla-?*> to another. Consequently it ia Impossible to identify beauty, to give it fixed qualification!?. Somehow, it is human nature to admire in others that whlrh we do not possess our selves. For instance, I am a blond, yet my Ideal type of feminine beauty would be a brunette. She would be tall, queenly, a wo man of prt'pof-sfi-.-ing poise. She would h?t\> j personality, magnet ism, and ?-?he would be sympathetic and considerate- t*? other-*. Beauty. I should ?ay. la whatever you rhooi-e to think it is: it M governed entirely by the personal equation. By ? \ I HI ? ? ? < ??G?????? WImI is beauty? Those tiresome old philosophers tell us that bei uty is only skin deep. If that be so. the ekln ihen mut be without a blemish, for beauty holds communion only with that which la perfect. in people, beauty is signified by ?ymmetry, dig nity, character, poise. The person who ie beautiful .?hunt?, possess pertain well-balanced qualities ai to statue. Ko especial dimensions of physique, however, need be acquired. ? woman, in my opin ion, may be short, and yet beautiful; it ia alto gether a matter of proportion. Jf she ho intelligent, if her figure possess bal ance, if she be artful yet Judicious, then I should sa ? Mie poset-sse* beauty. And let me add that ?..-?.uty is a thing any woman can cultivate. ?My ideal type would be a woman of medium Ik igl.t and corresponding proportion. I must con fess that I like the person who is individual, strik ing. Kspecially do I love a woman with naturally hi find hair and brown eyes. This, however, is a very unusual -?on.btnation in theae days of arti ficiality and tawdfy imitation. By AMT A KIXG. Beauty is the magic key that opens all locks. It Is not found In a make up box. Beauty ia often in the clasp of a hand, in the voice of a friend; beauty is not always a visible thins. To me, all children are beautiful. I should say that beauty, when, we ? e it, la love externalized. It la the manifestation of all that ia good, pure, true. That, in my opinion, is beauty. My ideal type in-ght have & mole on ber nose and not mar her beauty. Her hair might be straight and stubborn -md done in a dinky twist at the back.

The World? Hip-hut Paid Wom?ii Writ.r. ?--a---_---___-_-_-_-_--_-_-__ At the beginning of a new year the good merchant takes stock. He : counts up his gains and losses for the] past year. He estimates the value of! the goods on his shelves, writes off so much for bad debts, so much for mis-1 takes, so much for the wear and tear of the plant and finds out where he -stands. Unless he Is a fool he does not try to deceive himself. He does not try j , to make himself think that he is bet?] 'ter off than he Is. that his business; has been more prosperous, or that his ; chances of success are better than ! tbey really are. He looks the facts squarely in the frice. and it he has, any intelligence at all he profits by ! the knowledge thus gained. He ?strengthens the weak spots in bis business. He enlarges in what has showed itself to be a favorable direc tion so that when the next w*m year's ?stocktaking takes place there is a hig her balance on the right side of ine ledger. What a pity tha? we do not a'.l at the commencement of a new year fol I low the merchant's example and, ; ? anting vanity and personal affection ? aside, take stock of ourselves and of onr families and try to see how we ' stand, what poods we carry on our shelves, whether we have gained or ! lost during the past twelve months. Mid .-o determine whether we ar?1 I beaded for prosperity or ruin! Suppose a wife should take stock ? of herself. She would say: ? "I am 4- years old. I am not y?.ung ? or beautiful any more. My hair i* | turning grizzled and I do not take ?M much care as I used to In d ressi eg it becomingly. 1 am getting fat. I wei-h ten pounds MOT? than I did last Jn nuary. I am getting lazy and 1 find it too much of a bother to dress up of an evening when there Is going tf> be nobody at home but tho family. When I take stock of my physical ap pearance I perceive, although I had n<'t noticed it before, that it has de preciated at least 2.". per cent in the Inst year. 'Ah 1 look them over I perceive that I am not carrying ?an attractive line of mental goods, either. I've got an ovcrsupply of nerves, too much pick led tongue, and that my conversa tional reserve II dull and heavy and runs mostly to complaints of the serv ants, spats with the children, de mands for money, and fretful whining because I can't have everything that tick women have. "If I were a tired man coming home at night to a wife who had only that sort of mental pabulum to offer me. I think Id shop a little farther, and when I counted up what It cost me to support that sort of a family I would ? think that I had bought an awful ? gold brick. "On the other hand I perceive that my ftock of household accomplish ments is of the very best grade. My cooking, thrift and management rfre strictly A No. 1. Ditto sock darning and buttons, and seeing to my hus band's personal comfort, and while. my devotion may not have any frills about it, or be put tip in a fancy pack cue, it is the genuine article and of the brand he has tried for years and found reliable. "In balancing my accounts, there fore. I pereti\ e that ? am keeping an old-fashioned domestic store which has come to a crisis in its history. It is now nt a standstill, but it must inevitably go backward under the old management and land in bankruptcy, or else I must hustle around and bring it tip to date if I expect to make it prosper. "So it's up to me to give every thing a coat of new red and white paint, dress it up and* throw away about thirty pounds of superfluous old goods and put some pep and ginger into the management. More over. as I realize that I am depend ent for my very life itself on one customer it Is my cue to consider his tastes and whims and jolly him ? long so that he will not be tempt .. ? to even glance In at the show window of the pretty new shop next ci >or." ? id the husband might take stock of himself and say: "Hm. I don't know but what Tve let my lot of physical attractions run pretty low. Hm. Here's one bald head, one bay window, ihre? chins, a lot of fat. and some clothes that are always in need of pressing, but I don't know that it makes any particular difference aa roy chief customer doesn't seem to care much for looks. "Mentally I carry two lines of poods?one for home consumption and the other for business and so ciety. The latter line is extra fancy and attractive?wit that bubbles like champagne; spicy stories; seg ary compliments that melt like bon bons in the mouth; clever epigram.? that people roll on their tongues; a flavor of good humor and geniality permeating it all, but I never serve these tidbits at my family table. "For home uf=e every day ? carry a supply of grouches, grumn? ? and dumbness that you have to wish on people to get them to take. I've seen my wife looking at my com pany goods and yearning for a taste of them, but -she's ne\*er got a ''?'?' ot them since my courting day*, and my children don't know that I even rarry them. "On the other hand, I've cot an overff-upply of money and I lavish automobiles and clothes and ;ewel and all sorta of bought luxuries on my family. "But in striking- a baiane? with domestic life I do not se* m to be making a success of it. My wife seems disr-pirited and lnn-?ly I am ? not acquainted with my children and they appear to regard me me ? el ?v as a check book. My daughters are growing up to be ' ?-nobs and fashion plate;-, my sona ? to be wild and dissipate?) "Therefore. I perceive lhat un less my family life gora tat? lank ! ruptcy 1 must reorganize the busi ness. I muat curtail t'.e money ' making and expand and d- velop the love and personal association end." Suppose parents had lh? eourace | to really take stock of their chil |dren and say to eaeh other: "Here's Susan. She's a ??? cond as ' gold; ?he's atron?, heal" ? and ? energetic; ahe"e got excellent good, hard, horse sense, but she has car roty hair and a complexion like a saWatus biscuit, and a dumpy fle ure, and she hasn't one sparkle of licrhtness or briu hintNM in her. There'? not one chance in a million of Susan marrying any man worth marrying. Nor would ?he even make a success at writing, or act ing, or painting, <>r music, but she's just the type that make.-? a success I ful business woman. Therefore, we will give her a Ro*"-d commercial \ education and get her started in some store or office where ehe will have a chance to rise to the top, to fill her life with useful and inter esting work and be able to support | herself in -as much luxury as lo r husband would be likely to." Or suppo?sed they ?aid: "Here^ JuMet. ehe's ae pretty as a picture. She Is a mercurial creature, full tf tear? and laughter, and mad for Joy and excitement. She's the kind of girl that men will be crazy about. She will always be tempted from within and without, and it's up tg us I to watch and guard her in every pos [ sible way, to try to develop in her a sense of responsibility and to teach I her self-control." Oh. if parents would only take stock of their children and see that thia one's mind is feeble and needs special training, or that one'u body ia frali and needs special care, and that an other one's morals are weak and need bracing up.
