What Oonntltutes Beauty
"Is beauty only skin deep?"
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

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

universally acknowledged as possess
ing these qualities. 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.
