I once asked that question of a famous beauty specialist. "Indeed, it is not," she replied. "Beauty of the skin Is evidence of good respiration and a sound bony structure; beauty of countenance in dicates a sweet soul and beauty of form results from wholesome activ ities. It cannot be disputed that all of these are more than surface qualities." So the old adage about beauty be ing only skin deep can be cast into the rubbish heap. We know that the eyes are the windows of the soul. Through them Is reflected the light which radiates from within. How they flash when we are angry; how dim thev become when f we are Bad- There are people who try to conceal their true characters and, inci dentally, avert t wrinkles by training J At i m - a t t liit'ir iHi'fM in lit mi- v: PPISCILIA DUN sionless. mobile and expres Few, if any, really succeed. For, whether a person wills or not, the face sooner or later becomes in delibly stamped with its owner's per sonality. An unexpressive counten ance may effectually hide passing emotions; it cannot veil the natural curve and contour of features and the effect of those emotions on the mind and disposition. Did you ever notice the perfect re pose of religious and other though ful, well-disciplined people? One often speaks of the former as beau tiful when, speaking from an artistic standpoint, many have irregular fea tures and pronounced defects. One an also notice a repose and immo bility of countenance In the well trained servant or a clever rogue, "but one seldom speaks of them as beautiful, even though their features may be regular and their complex ions good. Why? Because In the case of the religious and studious people the most abiding emotions are of the higher order, peaceful, intellectual and uplifting. The emotions of the latter are exactly the opposite and are disturbing influences mentally, even if the face is trained to remain Impassive. This illustrates, in a way, what a wonderful effect the Intellect and habits of a person have upon the face and features. It also demonstrates that people who really try to gain beauty of face and form will, uncon sciously, gain in other respects. For one of the first steps toward the ac quirement of beauty is to cultivate a taste for the good and beautiful things of life. One can judge a good deal of a person's character by what that person admires. Teople who have not trained them selves to recognize real beauty are apt to mistake fashion for beauty. That, perhaps, accounts for some of the wild and weird effects one notices in the tout ensemble of many girls and women one sees, any one of whom might be charming if, she dressed her hair according to the standpoint of beauty as adapted to her own personality Instead of In the exaggerated and, for amateurs, im possible fantasies of fashion. I have seen pretty girls made almost hide ous by such mistaken efforts to look smart. ' Considering that their nat ural good points, although disfigured and obscured, were still apparent in spite of frizxled or plastered hair and bedaubed faces, one can understand how very beautiful they would be once they could comprehend what real beauty is. One of the first lessons In good taste and judgment in this respect is to learn to recognize grace, beau ty and refinement in those who are Glasses DRAKE & DRAKE Accurately Fitted OPTOMETRISTS Ca" -""IT.!

Not long ago I saw some girls who were not skilled models trying on fashionable gowns. The girls were pretty and the gowns were artistic. Yet the two combined In a most unlovely manner. The ef fect which the modiste desired to produce was absolutely lost. To be gin with, every one of the girls seemed possessed of the idea that the most graceful manner of display ing her figure and the lines of the gown was by posing with her arms akimbo. The gowns were rather full, loose and short waisted. I did not order one for, try as I would, I could not dispel the picture produced upon my mind of a scrub woman, with her hands on her hips, at a back yard fence. Artists have told me that the charm of womanly contour Is in the sweep, or long curve, from armpit to ankle; that the accepted standard of feminine beauty requires thai the shoulders be slightly drooping, the torso full, and widest at the hips, and that the front line from the breast bone over the abdomen should show first a gentle and then a fuller outward curve. Dress is a decoration, but as only natural lines are pre-eminently beau tiful no artistic designer will ever build a dress so that It even appears to alter them. No dress Is beauti ful nor becoming that suggests a personal deformity. A woman's hips should be as broad as her shoulders. It has been said, however, that grace of motion Is a finer quality than perfect propor tions, and that a woman with a poor shape can be graceful as well as fas cinating if she understands the art of dressing so that every muscle has full play and perfect ease of action. In ideal beauty there should only be fat enough to round all surfaces to smoothness. Any muscle that I firm, healthy and constantly used will have no place for fat to accumu late. Unused muscles cultivate fat. When a person is fleshy It Is Impos sible to be either graceful or beauti ful. Fortunately, there is such i thing as reducing. One year of good exercise will dc more for a woman's good looks thar. all the cosmetics and beauty med icines that could bo prescribed. It is possible, also, to add years to one's life by breathing properly. Take long breaths as often as you can think of it. Habitual deep breathing arches the muscles of the chest, throws back the head and shoulders and compels an erect posture. When the scenes were being pho tographed for "The Beautiful Beg gar." I was particularly impressed with the proud manner In which some of the women of Jerusalem who appeared In the pictures carried themselves. I was told that their regal bearing was the result of bal ancing water Jugs and other articles on their heads. Their long, richly-be-Bllvered scarfs which hang in straight lines from their heads al most to their ankles and which weigh several pounds, also necessi tate an extreme statellness of head poise.
