Worry as a Wrinkle Maker
Charming YA Ferguson Thinks Modern Womrn DelUMrately Kacriflre Their Beauty
By ELSIE FERGUSON.
(Tho Brcutiful Star Now Playing la
"Outcast.")
What U beauty without success and a
instant feeling that one la of ur In the
world? After all. life ia what we make
II, and worth cornea essentially from
within, but It la what we take from our
environment that really makea the big
are at difference. Women of today are for
getting that of all thing In the world
that ahouid be lightly put aside, the little
thin, the petty wort-lea, are the troubles
that ahouid he dealt with aa trivial mat
ter, and of course theae are Juat the
very things nat must be greatly exag
gerated. Modern women arc e'ly and fretful;
they have the countless tiny wrlnklea of
worrlea that might have been avoided
engraved upon their countenances. They
are email In their conception of life, the
bigger finer possibilities have no Interest
for them. They fritter their Uvea and
their looks away In a vain worry about
things that freiuently never happen at
all. and In consequence miss the oppor
tunity to recognise worth of any kind In
other people.
We have heard of people who have ao
small an opinion of themselves that they
cannot conceive of anything noble In an
other. Many women of today are that
way; they Judge everybody by the nar
row standard they have laid out for them
aelves, and It la really not ; their fault
when after a time la becomca ImpoflMlble
for them to see beyond a certain limit
I don't think that people' realize bow
much harm a thing like thla can mean
to people at large. Kvcrybody auffers
from It, and Ihla email conception of
life la much more prevalent among women .
than among men.
Ona runs up agalnat women of this type
everywhere. They come to the theater
expecting to be amuaed: they never taka
Into account the fact that the actor or .
aetreas upon the stage haa a certain
amount of nervoua strain, and that many
of us do our beat work when we are -cure
In the knowledge that we have a
sympathetic audience. Instead, they coma
and sit In the rnnt rows and boxes arfil
make almost audible comments on what
Is going on. I say that there should be
oo-oporation; the world of women should
be run on thla baala: women ahouid be
leas petty, less self-centered, mora self
eenlrollod, as most of our men are.
TT.are are countless women made un
happy simply through the selfishness of
Anr women who will not stop to think;
(hart, ars .hundreds of women today ruin
ing net only their chances of happiness)
but thslr chances of good looks.' Thera
should be a balance, so that every person
way have a fair chance, a word of en
sewragemant occasionally, rather than a
feeling that thera Is no room on the earth
fes any say the wealthy and Influential.

of power with which a woman flnda out .
that sho can sway men by her beauty of
her charm. Few hunbanda ever make
love to their wives, and so It la the
woman's natural denlre for this court
ship and this adulation that alio has
missed - that leads her Into seeking It
away from home and in forbidden patha.
For otherwlae la It with the womun who
has been a hello before her marriage.
Bhe has had her fill of admiration from
men, and It poaaesacs none of tho charm
of novelty to her. Bhe haa heard the
verb of love conjugated In all Its moods
and tenses until It is ss wearla'ime aa a
school exercise. Bhe has played at the
game of flirtation until It has palled upon
her, and as a married woman she would
he more think of finding amusement In
carrying on a surreptitious love affair
, than a Padercwekl would think of grind
ing out ragxime irom a uurni urivn.
Another mistake that men make Is In
thinking that the beat way to aaaure
themselves of getting a domestic wife ts
to marry a woman who has never been
In society. Men marry to get a home far
oftener than women do. The oily man.
at least, aeldom commits matrimony until
he Is utterly weary of the deadly round
ol social g a yet tea. The mere thought ot
being dragged about in a wife's wake to
balls, and parties, and first nights fills
him. with such terror that he feels his
only safety lies In marrying some woman
who knows nothing of them. .
Never was a more fatal error. There
la no other woman In the world who Is
so absolutely crasy for every form ot
amusement as the woman who has never
known any gayety, and who all ot her
life has been starving for it. She Is Ilk
a man dying of thirst, who Is suddenly
plunged Into a river where he can steep
himself to the Hps. l'erhsps ahe haa
never been to a ball before, and the In
toxication of dancing becomes a frenay
with her that makes her mad to go to
every party to which shs Is Invited. Per
haps shs has never been to a restaursnt
before; and the golden streets of the new
Jerusalem do not appAr so desirable to
her eyes as to eat In a gilded publlo
dining room.
Here, too, it Is the woman who has
had who la the safe matrimonial chanua
for a man. The girl who haa been in
society all her .life, who has been to
parties and ball and theaters until
they have lost all their charm of novelty
la glad enough to settle down to domes
ticity, and to find her pleasure inside of
her home Instead of without It. To the
girl who knows her Europe as aha does
her native town, every excursion does
not offer a temptation, having seen the
best ths stage affords, she does not yearn
to see every gllly play that Is put oo the
boards; having wearied of balls and
parties, shs Is glad to turn from them to
the abiding pleasures of old books and
old friends.
Pretty much tho same rule will be
found to apply to women anl economy.
Moat men are afraid to marry a girl who
has been raised rich, lest she ha extrava

The two greatest men the world has
ever seen were horsemen, both. Aristotle
was the - world's first schoolmaster and
the world's first scientist. He taught
school out of doors, and all of his pupils
were taught to ride horBcback.
Aristotle was the tutor of Alexander the
Oreat. He taught Alexander to ride the
wild horse Bucephalus, and Aristotle sat
on the top rail of the corral and watched
his pupil turn tha trick.
Aristotle wrote a book of a thousand
pages on the horse. He said all there
was to say on the subject, and no man
can ever write at length, about the horse
without quoting? Aristotle. "
Aristotle dissected the dead body of the
horse. He, then fastened the skeleton to
gether, preserving all of Its articulations.
The native villagers stood around and
watched him; and when the skeleton was
,all fastened together with the aid of
thongs the villagers chuckled and gur
gled In glee and said: "Wo knew they
could never do .it".-...
The merry villagers thought that Aris
totle and Alexander were endeavoring to
make a horse, and they were overjoyed
to see that Aristotle was unable to clothe
the bones with flesh, put the akin on the
horse, saddle him and ride him down tho
street. That was one on Aristotle.

Among other things Leonardo did wns
to paint a picture of his lady' love,, the
Mona Lisa, which picture was stolen
from tho Louvre. Leonardo got the
trifling sum of 180,000 for the picture. It
Is now worth a million. ,
But tho fellow who stole It offered It
for 1100 and got "pinched" for attempt
ing to sell a "snide" painting.
Leonardo attributed much of his bub
bling, perennial Joy In life to his close
association with tho horse. He was a
horseback rider from childhood until his
eighty-fourth year, when death, .through
accident claimed him, and he went out
