was a “Bareback," of superb physical
prowess and an indomitable quest for
knowledge. He was unwilling to join
in the idle gossip and frivolties of
the village; he was the only young
man in Boisvert who flocked by him
self. As the story opens, he had two
friends—his collie dog, Billee, and his
mother. But Jean carried on through
a series of enthralling adventures.
He starts on his career by making
a thrilling rescue at a movie “loca
tion." and is filmed unwittingly but
none the less successfully. According
to a custom of the great north coun
try, Jean is pledged by his father to
tlie father of a girl whom the hero
does not Intend to marry. So with
Billee he sets forth to test his wings
in a flight of independence. The
story has a strong dramatic element
and the romantic side is ably written.
It Is a story that holds the interest

“A breath of Stars” Proves
Interesting Love Story
••A WREATH C'F STARS.” I-oulse
Gerard, Macftuley company. New York.
Love laughs at barriers, age or
other kinds. A letter found in a
bottle, three years after it was writ
ten by an Englishman held prisoner
in a ruinedpalace in Xenice, Is found
by a. painter.
There Is a certain, strange atmos
phere around the story which en
hances Its telling. The painter, a
woman, of course, has been so busy
caring for her sister and her sister's
children that she has had no time
for romance and now that it comes
knocking at her door, doesn't quite
know how to entertain it.
Other events tn the progress of
the talo take care of that, however,
and the question is successfully de
cided.
An entertaining book of people you
know and meet on daily walks
through the streets.

DO MEN PREFER BE A UTY TO BRAINS?
-—-'By MRS. GOUVERNEIR MORRIS. —
Kdltor'e Note: If. et le generally
conceded, America has the most
beautiful women in the world, end If
this beauty is brought most nearly to
perfection In an atmosphere of wealth
and leisure, few writers should be as
competent to discuss the subject of
this article as Mrs. Gouverneut Mor
ris. who has spent her life in New
York society. And this. notwith
standing the fact that Mrs. Morris is
herself by no means a woman of
leisure, but has made a distinct suc
cess In the bualnees world.
The remarkable forum being con
ducted in the columns of this news
paper upon love, marriage, and mod.
ern woman, offers many absorbing
aspects. Coincident with the new
year—leap vear—Fanny Heasllp Lea.
next Sunday, will propound. "If
Women Should FropoBe:" Her treat
ment of the question is Inimitable.
□ERTAINLY all normal men pre
fer beauty to brains. Any hon
est man In an honest mood will
ten you so. The fact Is, men rather
resent brainy, ugly women. Men
seem to feel that they have a corner
on this particular commodity—brains
—and resent the female Interloper,
except aa an economic unit in the
office or in a managerial capacity in
the home.
When beauty speaks men stop,
look and listen with attentive eye
and wide-flung ear. When the in
tellectual frump speaks, very few
men can hear her words of wisdom
. . . unless she talks through the
medium of pen and ink, art, music,
or the long distance telephone.
The man who with pursed lips and
carefully considered words tells you
that he prefers brains to beauty is,
perhaps unconsciously, a humbdg.
This type of man, if young, will In
all probability enslave his wltV, make
of her a house drudge, and at the
age of 40 or thereabouts, having ac
cumulated enough means in his own
name, either in fame or money, pro
ceed to elope with Dotty Dimples,
laving his wife to remake her life
as best she can and to care for and
support his children.
lie reminds me a little of the
farmer who, having made Ills pile,
drove up one day to the "Woman s
Exchange" with a grimy, grey,
worked-out, old wife and declared
he'd come to exchange her for "some
thing not so all-fired liumly."
Do Intelligent Men Murry Frumps?
Surely there Is no man, no mat
ter how intellectual, unless It be that
lie has been stabbed In the back by
beauty, who is not enormously In
fluenced by It- Look at the w*omen
that your Intelligent men friends
marry. Are they brainy frumps or
pretty, and often brainless, dolls?
The physically weak are extremely
likely, as a matter of survival, to de
velop an acuteness of perception
along certain lines that Is often
times miscalled Intellect and lhat
beauty does not require. This type
of woman may appeal to a man who
Is actuated by "economic determin
ism,” who is In need of a house
keeper, a bookkeeper, or. In other
words, an economic unit , , . but not,
I think, as a wife or a mother. I
think it was Voltaire who said "Love
Is the embroidery on the stuff of
nature,” and I would like to add that
beauty Is the embroidery, the tex
ture, the coloring on the purpose of
nature.
It behooves every woman to give
time and thought to that embroidery,
both mental and physical, to the end
that she bring happlnes to those near
and dear to her and fulfill well her
one real mission . . . her all im
portant profession, the profession of
motherhood.
So the desire on the part or a wo
man to be beautiful is a perfectly
proper wish actuated by the very
highest' and noblest of motives.
To many, I suppose, the spoken
dislike of beauty is In some way link
ed in the mind with the thought of
beauty as evil, and that, I presume
is an Inheritance from our Puritan
ancestry. Just as In the olden days
filth and dirt were a badge of holi
ness, symbolizing repression of flesh,
so an ugly mask was a badge of
purity. The same Idea today obtains
In another form. An ugly mask is
by many of the superficial supposed
to be repr* sentatlve of Intellect.
The Value of Good IBooks.
As a matter of fact. It Isn't. The
most intelligent women X know fully
appreciate, In the home, in social
life, in business, the value of good
looks. They make the most of them
selves and put both time and earnest
thought to that end. If there Is a
hostility on the part of the ugly
woman towards the pretty woman
, it is the hostility of envy.
The reaching out on the part of
woman for beauty is an attempt at
perfection both from a spiritual and
physical standpoint. No woman
should be ashamed of It. It Is every
woman's right.
Spiritual beauty and physical
beauty go hand in hand an* make
for real and lasting beauty. One Is
the complement of the other. Beauty
that Is "splendidly regular, Icily null"
Is not my Idea of beauty. Regularity
of features is but a small part of
real beauty. Health, vitality, a. good
complexion, shining hair and what
some people call "wallop" make for
beauty. That beauty, I believe, lies
within the grasp of every woman.
Birth of a New Beauty.
Real beauty is a clean, wholesome,
optimistic mind In a clean, well-groom
ed, properly exercised, properly diet
ed body. To neglect the care of or
to abuse by dissipation or overin
dulgcnce. the body Is to kill physical
beauty. To neglect the mind, to per
mit the mind to become a lodging
place for evil thoughts, such as hate,
envy, greed, suspicion (and the moth
er of all of these Is fear), Is to kill
mental or eplrltual beauty.
Beauty properly directed Is the
moot powerful Influence for good In
this old world of ours. Beauty 1"
.MRS. GOEVENEIR MORRIS.
(Elsie Waterbury .Morris).
Promineiiet Member of New York Society and Successful Business Woman.1
Elsie Waterbury Morris is equipped by
ancestry, marriage and experience to
write about beauty and brains in their
relation to woman’s destiny. A daughter
of James M. VN aterbury, she was born
into the most exclusive circle ih New
Vork society. One of her six brothers.
Lawrence, or "Larry.Is known far and
wide ns a polo player, while the Monty
Waterbury cup for which the recent in
ternational polo matches were played
hears the name of another brother and
famous polo player, now dead.
Until recently, she was the wife of
Gouveneur Morris, the novelist, scion of
that old patriot Governeur Morris who. a
secretary of the first Constitutional con
vention. is credited with having written
i he final draft of tlfe constitution Ol
this marriage, which took place in 1905,
there are two d.tughters,*Kate andPatsy,
Loth now with their mother.
Pour years after her marriage. Mrs
Morris embarked on ner first business
venture, opening a fashionable toy shoo
on Fifth avenue, under the name “Mrs.
Vanity Fair.” She designed the toys her
self. 'and they were manufactured in a
shed erected on the tennis courts adjoin
ing her father’s Westchester home.
Recently Mrs. Morris remodeled the old
home of K H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe
and established there an institute for
beauty culture.
Mrs. Morris has mingled with soc’e*'
women In her drawing room; she haa
studied them under the revealing Ugh'
of her institute's laboratory: she haa
known women artists, and poets, act
resses and Just wives. And all the while
she has been rearing two children and
pursuing a career. It is only natural that
this unique background should engender
ideas of intereat to women
Beauty or bralna? f>r both? Women —
and men. too—will find food for thought :

more attractive than brain. Beauty
plus brain is irresistible.
America lias the most beautiful
women in the world. In America,
where different bloods, and different
languages, and different ideals have
all penceably blended in the melting
pot, we are seeing the birth of a
new beauty. A more intangilie, fas
cinating, liaffiing beauty, because
less easily claseified, less easily un
derstood. Mentally, that beauty is
freed of race hatreds, of suspicion,
of Jealousy and of fear, and has faith
in self. Physically, our beauty is
well fed, Is strong and delights in
outdoor exercise . . in health.
These are the fundamental reasons
that today we are producing the very
highest of beautiful women.
Sinking Into Ilrabland.
Just think how much a woman's
appearance means to the home.
Many a woman, through a sort of
egotistic self-sacrifice, permits her
self to sink into drabland. She gives
no thought to her personal appear
ance, her comperlon, her hair, her
hands—ruined by neglect. She pre
sents the picture of a woebegone
martyr. This same woman has prob
aby spent huge sums on a house, on
interior decoration, bric-a-brac, yet
she gives no thought to her own ap
pearance and thinks of herself as a
good mother and a dutiful wife.
She doesn't see herself, as the one
important picture in the home, the
one and foremost impression of her
friends, her husband, her children.
What happens? Children aro Imila
five and repetitive. If she permits
that picture to become drab the chil
dren will either imitate or revolt.
They will perhops make their escape
from this drabness through early and
Inadvisable marriage. The husband
will make his escape through other
Interests.
Schools May Soon Teach Beauty.
Fifty years,ago our grandmothers
let their teeth full out and called the
proceed an act of flod. Today bad
teeth represent nothing short of
criminal neglect. That is true of the
complexion, of the hair, of the gen
eral appearance. My deep admira
tion of Mr. Roosevelt was not Roose
velt the president, but Roosevelt the
weak, frail child who turned na
ture's failure into success. I can
have only pity for the woman who
is not attractive and who sits down
and bemoans the fact Instead of
studying herself and transforming
nature's apparent defeat into her
own victory. I know any woman
can do It once she recognize* ll» im
portance and determine* to do it.
In all youth ther* lies dormant
beauty. That beauty should , be
brought out. encouraged, developed. T
prophesy that within a few years a
course on heauty will tie Included In
the curriculum of every modern, up
to date girls' school. At present
many young girls are told by teach
ers and parents, who seem to assume
that drabness and respectability are
one and the same thing, that lo siudy
oneself and make oneself beautiful is
vanity, is wrong, and will lead to aw
ful terrible things such as hell's fire
and similar "fear thoughts.”
This gives to the young girl who
gives attention to her personal ap
pearance the false feeling that she is
playing hookey from decency. That
Is a parental buncombe actuated by a
desire to dominate, possess and keep
tiio child safe and not by the desire
to develop her along the right lines.
The Inevitable Contradiction.
These words of wisdom, I will say,
generally emanate from the head of
tlie table, along with "Ho hum—
what is this generation crtmlng to
anyway?" (I'd like to add here that
I think that this generation is com
ing into its own.) However, at a bali,
at the country club, at dinner, the
head of the table, I have observed In
my mild and simple woman's way, el
ways dances with beauty, invariably
plays golf with beauty, and at din
ner beauty sits on his right, while
brains, behind a grimace, holds up
the wall, plays in a woman * four
some, and is placed at dinner by
another short haired, brainy frump,
or next to a narrow-chested, intellec
tual man with a strong inferiority
complex. Rays the young girl, "Am
I to believe my eyes or what eome
people try to tell me?"
So if we are proceeding on the
theory that man was made for woman
and woman was made for man, and I
hereby declare that to be my honest
understanding of the matter, a brainy
woman who will not resort to making
the most of herself will find herself
on a somewhat lofty but lonely ped
estal erected In Xo Man's Hand, and
very rightfully so, for she is not in
accord with or in harmony with na
ture.
Beauty Is more subject to attack
than brains, but I am not discuss
ing beauty’s chances for downfall
nor parental fears for beauty. I am
discussing whether men prefer beauty
to brains, and I claim that they do.
Beauty with knowledge and the self
protective Instinct properly develop
ed and right values based on truth
need have no fears. Beauty blind
folded by parental ignorance snd
fears tnny come a cropper. Teach a
girl to make herself beautiful and
attractive, but also teaoh her to use
the power beauty gives her to bring
out the good in people—not the evil.
Tlie Importance of Presentabllity.
Beautiful woman should under
stand that nature has placed her
hero ns an example. Rhe will b»
Imitated, followed, copied. Beauty
must shoulder her responsibilities
along with wealth, position, fame and
Influence. A beautiful woman guil
ty of moral weakness Is twice guilty.
If woman, so-callejl intelligent wo
man, could only be made to realize
the Importance of presentabllity,
could only be made to understand
that when man tells her he prefers a
brainy woman to a beautiful woman
he la of the variety humbugus, fool
Ing himself and trying to fool her
and making a Joke of old Mother
Nature, she would aave herself many
a heartache, many a disillusionment
If women could only be made to
realize this they would sit down In
front of a mirror, take stock of their
good looks and then constitute them
selves into ways and means com
mitiees to make themselves, If not
beautiful, at least attractive, healthy
and charming.
I do not want to be misunderstood
as belittling Intellect or the Intellec
tual woman. But, we loo frequently
blind ourselves to facts, snd I am
dealing In fads.

The fact is that man, nine times
out of 10, seeks the society of beau
ty, He is proud to be teen in the
company of beauty. Beauty, ns a
rule, represents vitality, animation,
nature at her best. The normal man
loves life. A ball game will attract
its tens of thousands. A funeral a
handfull . . . and then only from a
sense of duty. Brains encased in a
death mask man will flee from. It
represents to him ill health, oblivion,
lie will unconsciously Jump and side
step as from the honk of a predatory
automobile. It is natural self preser
vation for himself and race.
A beautiful wife he will tote
around and show off. If she is ad
mired he gains in his own mind, by
right of possession, a sort of ascend
ency over the other males.
Man's so called supremacy over
woman i« based largely upon physi
cal might. Man made laws. Man
has heretofore been the sole posses
sor of the material means of exist;
ence. He has, by covert threats and
daily examples of starvation of
women and children, controlled the
situation. When mothers act or pro
test, it is nearly always In behalf of
the child or the race.
Woman's Trump Card.
The maternal instinct Is the strong
est instinct in woman. As might
disappears from this earth, as spirit
ual power grows, woman will assume
her rightful place on a fifty-fifty
basis. Until that time arrives In civ
ilization’s progress women will have
to adjust themselves to the situation.
Woman makes a mistake to discard
her trump card. Beauty is her one
biggest asset.
I know from experience that for a
woman to look well, to give the im
pression of beauty, of health, to keep
herself In tip-top condition, to take
advantage of and develop any and
all the beauty God gave her, and
then some, to the point of imitating
nature, spells for the woman cour
age, and strength to face the dally
problems that confront her. More
over, to make herself beautiful is not
a selfish thing. It will go a long way
towards bringing happiness to those
near and dear. It will smooth the
patch of ambition whether in society
or politics or the home. To look
well is half the battle. Just as sn
honest husband Is proud of ills wife's
beauty, so are the children proud of
and imitate a beautiful mother. Than
Benuty, properly directed by a nor
mal brain, there is no greater Influ
ence for good.
Bo I repeat, men do prefer Beauty
to Brains. What edse is Mother
Nature about? Bhe has Just one
thought in mind, perpetuating the
race—so man turns naturally to
Beauty, which represents health, vi
tality, Nature at her best.
