AT WHAT AGE ARE WOMEN MOST BEAUTIFUL —IS IT 35? By MRS. fi»| VERNK1 R MORRIS. (Elsie AA'aterbury Morris.) I am compelled to admit that in numbers women are most beautiful physically between the ages of 16 and -5. Yet as soon as we realize that ths forces of nature are ever active for us and that by learning how to make use of them we ran have beauty and the conditions of youth, plus the ' harm of intelligence and the person dity that comes with mental and spiritual development, we shall know that beauty has no age, but it is as it was intended to be, eternal. This knowledge rarely comes to a woman before 35. It is of the woman 'if 35 and over that I-should like to write. She has arrived at what should prove to be the most interesting pe riod of her life. Mentally she was never more alert. The problem be comes to her largely a physical one. It is at this time she should keep herself fittest, 1 tress amt care of the body become of very vital Importance and the woman who "lets herself go" on the theory that her life work is over is deserving of little sympathy. Physical signs of age cannot only lie prevented, but can he corrected through proper methods. When a woman reaches this age she should sit. down and take stock of herself and appraise the past, the mistakes made, and profit thereby. She should awaken to the thousand and one in terests that this old world nf ours holds for her and to the real service that she can be to others. ‘‘Smile, Even if It lltitTs." So many women at this ape fly into a veritable panic. Tn r mis directed effort to regain youth they ape the £irl of 16. They affect young misses’ clothes* bob their hair and mentally begin to roll hoops and climb trees. They make a mistake. The secret of sucross, or happiness, for I hem lies not in the ridiculous imita tion of the young girl, but in the right • expression of their own individuality. It is a truth that people shun the unhappy or bedraggled woman and It takes no great psychologist to rec ognize that a smile is the reflection of a smile. So smile, even if it hurts. Irt this country of our* we are a very intense people, and many of os are likely to become obsessionists along certain lines of thought and very Intolerant of other lines of thought. This I have particularly no ticed in women of, say. 40. It seems to be a common belief that they must select ope of two roads, and that all beauty is either mental or all physi cal. Dangerous Alternatives. Some give up all thought of care for their physical being and concen trate upon a state of spiritual exhila ration. preparatory to the next world. Others drop all mental improvement and proceed to pay attention only to llteir physical well being in an at tempt to retrace their steps and re gain their youth. Hither i ath seems to be dangerous. A combination of the two is desirable. They go hand in hand 1 would like to bring out the point that the real fountain of 'youth lies within every individual and as soon as (hat is understood it is a compara tively easy matter to alleviate age. and ugliness and to express to the fullest extent personal loveliness. I have just been reading an article by a physician, with which I fully agree. He states that there are only two ways of growing old—one is by actual changes In the physical organ ism, pathological causes, and the other is by psychic changes; that is. changes in the way we think and feel. If we think we are old. we become so. Our thoughts are, or should be in an honest world, reflected in out* faces. One of the most delightful and inspiring personalities I know is a woman of 70. She has brought up nine children, and done her work well. She has retained her optimism and youthful outlook. I think that her sense of humor has been a great help. “Mental and Physical Hustles.’* She still sits on the floor to put on her stockings. She takes care of her complexion because she told me one of her great grandchildren was worried about the wrinkles in her face. She tells me there are no bad people. She keeps up with the time and. after reading up on psycho analysis, tells me the first psycho analyst was the mother and it is an other word for "mother's knee,” which was also the first and best eonfes sional. And this dear old lady has never lost her faith or her interest in youth or in life. The only time X have ever seen her show signs %>f anger was w hen some nne had said that the youth of to'dav was going to the devil. "Nonsense,” she exclaimed, "the youth of today is only expressing what we should have expressed had we had the chance and the courage, 1 wish 1 could live it all over again without the mental and physical bustles that were tied to me." 80 I feel that there is one luxury that no woman can afford—no mat ter how wealthy she may be—and that is the luxury of old age. In these days It is not only the Inalienable right, but the obligation, of every woman to stay young. A generation or so ago old age was accepted with out challenge. In permitting her waist line to go and her chin to come a woman did not realize that she was declaring unite frankly to the world that she was neglecting or over indulging herself. Now we know this is the truth. Fashion More Rxarting. Fashion, too, was more considerate then. Tamg skirts kindly concealed ankles that had entirely given up the straight and narrow idea. In other words, while old age was not obliga tory, it was at least optional, and a woman could let herself go and be come frankly old if she liked. Now this is not so. No woman is so sure of her position, socially, profession ally or in the home, that she dares let the world believe that she Is lagging behind or has plainly "given up." Father time has been given gently to understand that he must no longer use women's countenances as time sheets. No woman in these days dares to slump. She has to stay In the game and stay young and in tip top shape mentally and physically fop her home, her business or her social life, if not for herself. What Alcohol Will Do to Beauty. I am sure that there is no more MRS. CiOl YKRNK1 R MORRIS. ( Klni# WsliYhurjr Morris.) F.lsle Waterbury Morris is known wher ever society women gather as a daughter of America's old aristocracy.

It frees age old inhi bitions, which means the breaking down of self-protective instinct and the consequent loss of self-respect—a very real menace to happiness. I am often asked whether women dress for men or for other women. I think that the wise, normal, success ful women will always dress to please men. When a woman dresses with other women in mind she doe* so to excite envy, because women, in judging other women's gowns, think largely in terms of cost or smartness. But man rarely knows or appreciates the cost of woman's clothing—except, possibly, at the end of the month, lie gets tlie impression or general effect. If women dress to please man they will dress becomingly, so that their clothes add to their attractiveness— even though the gown be home-made. After all. as a woman sees the re flect ion of herself in a mirror, so she thinks of herself—and it is mighty Important that that reflection should discover to her loth physical care and mental beauty. To a famous physician is attributed the remark that all men should be chloroformed at -in, but I notice timt this self protective gentleman never made any such wild assertion in re gard to women. It is at this time that her children ae beginning to spread their wings and will soon take flight, and Jt is proper ttiat they should—no matter how it pains the mother. It is at this time that her poise and advice are of the greatest consequence to their lives. If she ha* kept up with youth and ha* the spirit of youth, they will coma and lay their new problems be fore her for help. If she has atrophied mentally and physically and is living in the past, her advice, no matter how good, will be dis regarded for the reason that youth feels, and rightly so, that age does not understand. To keep up with the world and the spirit of youth Is absolutely essential. The running of the house has, by this time, become a matter of routine —taking at most but an hour a day. She must enlarge her world, depend ing on where her interest lies, wheth er in society or business or charity, or In politics. Facing Physical r ad*. Just nee how great an improvement the woman of 35 is over her grand mother. i/ook at any golf club and see the number of fit and healthy women of today and compare them with a generation or ao ago, of women usually grown old at 40, whin Ing around the house with every ill known to a patent medicine advertise ment—habitual devotees of the vapors —wearing impossible crinolines, more impossible bustles and'shoes copied from the "heathen Chinee." And our girl* are as much ahead of us as we are better off than our 1 grandmothers. We don't mind fue ling ourselves in the glass today. It [doesn't spoil our whole evening. Be cause we are thinking straighter and [better thoughts. We are taking bet ter care of ourselves physically and | we are not afraid to face the facts. Science has done many- wonderful things for women within the past few years I,t has easefi their burden within and without the home in a hundred svays; and yet, perhaps, it has done no finer thing than to open for them the “way to a new beauty. The Prinking Male. Beauty doe* more than delight the | eye. It !* a positive inspiration for good. It influences not only the be holder but the possessor. I have actually seen a woman of 40 in utter despair, hopeless, full of hatred of others end malicious gossip—a form of selfhate—change her whole attl tude toward* Ufa by changing way ahe wore her hair—eo toe; aha looked Into a glass *h» - i different self. Man's spoken attitude—to u let me say I have never pal : a slightest attention—towards a en's efforts to make herself ! '• 1 has always seemed to me most .1 ing. The average man is in slave to appearances than v nt t really think that he Is more to the Importance of appearati' woman: more fearful of giv.tig » wrong Impression. I am led to this belief u r L, vestlgatlon, and find that he s; ' more actual money on the "1 1 idea" than a woman does. Take large city and you will find 10 1 ber shops to one beauty parlor. Oi • one-fourth of the barbers tin e * spent on removing h.rsu'e ad" ments. The rest la spent on hot towels, massage, mud mask* and -<> forth and so on. Inspirational Beauty. So when we get right down o brass tacks, man is just as vain as woman—and I think it a very prop er form of vanity—I am not c-raicis ing—or he would give the bewh« kered appearance of a Rip Van W n kle. Man is simply a little more running, and probably unconsciously eo, than woman in nls attitude—he doesn't carry his vani’y case in the open. The woman of 35 or 40 should re member that she is at this time changing Into a new personality—i« f the man who haa lest a job th».t r. has held down for "o years. She is losing the position of nurse Phe has got to readjust herself. In that readjustment will largely depend her future happiness. So I do think that for real beauty. beauty that ahlnes through the eyes, beauty that la ac tuated by love and by gentle thoughts, by understanding and tol erance, there is no Inspirational beauty to compare with the beauty of 40 and over. For at this time In a woman's Lfe spiritual beauty gains ascendancy, and it shows in her ev err act and in a veritable halo about her. _Ccpyrlgbt. 1114. CZECHO-SLOV AKIA ASPIRES TO BE THE HUB OF EUROPE By H. f any great importance. Its importance lies in its position, ils possible inter racial functions. Bohemia a Heconcller. To these the president and his chief mlniser and pupil. Mr. Rene*, ar acutely alive. They see in their country a meeting place, a reconciler of European interests. They are am bitious to make it a center of trade, of intellectual interchanges and poli tick! unification. It has been stated in many quartets that this new alliance ha« been made hastily at the initiative of France, as a stepping stone to an understanding with Russia. The possibility of a labor government in Great Britain, of complete British recognition of Rus sia Is supposed to have driven Frame into a hasty search for an intermedi ary who wotrtd help H end the long feud with the bolsheviks. There is something attractive in these steadfast schemes to make Bo hemia the center of a Europe re newed. I think everyone who hopes to see a more noble, spacious clvlli ration must feel warmly sympathetic with these great ambitions, but jt Is Impossible to ignore the disadvan tage* against which the imagina tions of President Masarvk. Mr. Benes and their colleague* are pitted. Kail System Hindrance. One first difficulty lies in the far t 1 that European railway system* were developed while Prague was merely a provincial capital. Tin railways • f central Europe radiate from Vienna and .Berlin. The centers of banking and commercial exchange were in these lilies. And the effort* <»f Pra gtie to deflect the current* of trade and finance to itself have hitherto fallen far short of tho political am bitions of its leader* I remember my astonishment on mv first journey to Prague in 1!r*0 t«» discover that I v\aa traveling to the capital «»n a sin gle line of railway. In Prague at that time the great sokol festival was going on. a festival of patriotic soviet s. There wni j little thought of Kurope apparent,; much of the tinted peoples of Bo hemia. Moravia, Slovakia. Tim na tional costume made the street* gay; national music filled th« air. Bunt ing of nil the nine* interwove with the national flag. And when one was in the presence of President M.asaryk with his sweeping views, his an taring knowledge of contemporary intellectu al activities "f the Kngliih, French. Herman and Russian speaking world, the nationalist enthusiasms f f Prague seemed no more than a picturesque necessary background and clamor. Friction With (iermanv But T wii there ag - n this lust summer. The foreign flags and vis itor* had gone. I realized more fully the sturdy, ot-stina’e patriotism of the Bohemian people. I saw Prague not on show for the foreigner, but in Its everyday clothes. And the effect was extremely provincial. My Impression was that friction between German Bohemians and Czechs had increased, 'rhere was more pronounced objection to the German language. Hitherto the Czechs have been a bi lingual people. It was In the double possession of the Teutonic and Slav language and culture that one of our thief hopes for their future lay. But they Seem to be dropping German and learning no other language in its place. The public notices of the town of Prague are in Czech and in Czech only. For the westerner. Czech is as difficult as Hussian. Indeed, so far SB he is concerned, they might as well be in Chinese. This Is patri otic barbarism. How can Prague expect either pleasure visitors or business men to come there if it will not speak to them in any intelligible tongue? How can it become a mart or meeting plane of nations if it insists that no other speech than its own shall be used In its streets? In a little while all the currents of central European life will be flowing back again to their former centers at Vienna and Berlin. Masaryk Tragic Figure. Now these excesses of each patri otism make President Masaryk. to my mind, a very tragic figure. For this amazing man. a learned professor who was a village blacksmith's son, did more than anyone to revive the self respr-' t and national feeling of the Czechs He restored the Czech nation. The fine patriotism he evoked has been vulgarised, has cheapened him. Behind him and Mr. Benes presses * loud irreconeitlable body of ultra patriots. His Germans have been foolish and tiresome, egged on hv Austrian land owners who are furi ous because of the capital levy a*d liberal land policy. They will do nothing but rehearse the - gr.e-• ances. In such German plare.s as Marienbad you »*e them retaliating the' Insult of Prague by boycotting the Czechs. Yet a generous understanding be. tween the Czechs and Germans is essential to any future beyond ob scurity for Bohemia. Czecho-81ovak:a —pure Czech with perhaps for po litical purposes a smattering of French—will be following ;n the way of Poland toward a veied. vexat;.--* insignificance in European affair* (f*npyr*(fh*. it: 4 ) PROPOSED IMMIGRATION LAW HITS SOUTHERN EUROPE By MARK Sl'LLIVAN. Washington, D. C., Jan. 26.—The immigration restriction hill now pend ing in congress, on ■nVich hearings 'have been held and which ■will come •o a vote in the near future, is intend » ed to he permanent. It is always easy and tempting to 4 speak in superlatives. And yet those " persons are probably reasonably ac curate who say that this Impending adoption of drastic immigration re >trietion as a permanent policy will, he perhaps the most Important step ever taken by congress. The reasons brought forward to sustain so sweeping a statement hang largely on the fact that an Immigra tion restriction policy deals »1th and will profoundly affect the make-up of i he stock of the American people. It is said that this measure is more Important than tax bills or tariffs or railroad regulation or even declara tions of war. It really Is a turning point In our national history, a sort of biological milestone In the course of the American people. Encouraged .100 years. From the very beginning, for more ihan 300 years, America was open to ' ill comers. For fully nine tenth* of that 300 years. Indeed, the effort was to encourage Immigration. In the early colonial day* Immigra tion wag encouraged because the great land owning companies wanted settlers, and because those already here not only saw no objection, but actually wished for greater numbers. This commercial and industrial mo tive was dominant until less than 10 i ears ago. As to the blacks, they were hrought In unwillingly as slaves. Millions more of our present popula tion were stimulated to coins In or were brought In as bond servaijt*. who Indentured themselves to work out the coat of their passage. before the civil war Immigration vv^s stimulated and Immigrants were made welcome hy the commercial In terests which needed them to build the canal* and railroad*. Subsequent in the civil war immigrants were so licited by railroad eompanh s and i ther corporations owning Wild in the west, who wanted Ibat land opened up. Tet more recently, after we he , ame a great manufacturing nation, immigrants were solicited to come In by the mining and manufacturing In lerasts, who wanted cheap labor. Another commercial Interest that aided the stimulation and actually combed Europe for Immigrants was composed of the steamship companies, whose profit lay In tho passage money. 0|KTi lloor Till IH11 The aggregate of these i■ ■ t«*r*sts» dominated America's policy until less than 10 years ago. There were occa sional restrictions which did not keep out any considerable numbers. Kor a lime there has been a not ver\ thor ough examination looking to keep out mainly Incompetents anil persons suf fering from diseases. There also has been for a time a literacy le t. which did not keep out many ollens, nnd which actually. SO far as it did keep nny out, worked against some who would havr been (he most de.rlrahla Immigrants. ilui nil these restriction* were prac tically negligible. Substantially we ; were an open door country until the European war broke out In 1014. Ae. tually, within a single year Just pre- 1 ceding the war, more than 1,500,00ft Immigrants came in. With the heglbning of the European war this stopped. The m»re fart ol the war stopped it. Immigration ceased substantially on August 1, 1014, partly because the European coun tries w-nnted to keep their p»ople at home as soldiers, partly because of the interruption of shipping and for other reasons. For the nearly five years of the war w« received little or no Immigration from Europe. I’ost War Ittisli Halted. It was at this moment, soon after the ending of the war, that the senti ment In America for restriction of im migration became so strong that It overwhelmed those commercial in terests favoring immigration which formerly had heen dominant. With the ending of ihe war and the demobilization of the lhiropenn armiea it was apparent that Immense num bers of Kuropeans wanted to come to America. Those Americans w ho had become apprehcnsi\e about the effect of prac tically unlimited immigration on our national gtoek saw- fhaj with the de. mobilizlmf of (be Kll So pea n armies Immigration would begin again in even larger numbers than the l.bOO.OOO a year which already before the war had caused some alarms In this spirit our first r»x! Immigra tion restriction law was passed as an emergency measure to -head off the post-war lV>od until we should hsve time to work out a careful, perma nent policy. This emergency was meant to last for two years. At the end of two years congress had not yet worked nut Its permanent policy and so the emergency measure was renewed for another two years. This second two years will expire on June 30 next. It. is this emergency Immigration restriction act that Is now in effect. And it is in anticipation of the com ing of June 3o that tlie immigration committee of the lower luVuse has written a permanent measure aimed to express our policy on this point for the Indefinite future. New Mnuum Mors Have re. Tt i* the intention that tins new permanent measure Khali still fur ther restrict immigration. The pres ent emergency measure limits the number of Immigrants who can ujmo into America from any nty* country to 3 per cunt of the number of Indi viduals of that country who were nl ready resident In the United State*, according to the census of 1910. The aggregate of 3 per cent from Ml the countries of Kurope. Asia and Africa is 357,803. That 1* the num ber who can mine In on the basis of the present law. The proposed new measure which is now under disc ussion In congress male* two important changes. both meant to he largely In the direction of reducing the number. In the first place, the quota Is to he reduced from 3 per cent to 9 per cent. In the secqnd place, the basis of the quota Is to he set back from the census of 191ft to the census Of 1890. Caters to North Europe. The reason for this latter provision Is coming to be widely understood, but is rarely put In word* One of the few occasions was In the course of nn editotial In the New York World some weeks ago, which said: “No member of congress and no public official has yet spoken out on the subject of Immigration from Europe. The subject Is taboo, because to admit what is generally accepted at AVashington as the major premie* for any immigration statute would of fend large section* of the sotlng pop ulation. That premia* is simply that th* Inrush from the south and east of Kurnpe is to he rurhed, while im migration from the north and west of Europe la to he encouraged. That Is what is implied truths plan to has* a new quota aystern on th» census of 1S90. Ths I'nl'ed Stales has decided 'hat It cannot In the future talse car* of so many newcomers sllen In rare and tongue a* the country has at tempted to absorb In the peet. People from England or the Teutonic coun tries ns a rule. slip readily Into place among us; others often do not. Whether It Is the accident of speech or of racial temperament (hat makes the difference ' would he difficult to say. Nevertheless, there Is a differ ence. Washington may not admit It. but It Is true that our Immigration policy has shifted." Knr pood or 111, this is the purpose intended to be carried out by ehang c the basis of the quotas hack from 1<*10 to lfcsa The rfert of this change will he to make only a comparatively minor reduction in the number of immigrants who can coma in from Great Britain, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the other coun tries of northern and western Europe, and to make a very drastic reduction In the number who can pome In from Italy.
