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

than the excessive use of alcohol. Al
cohol will ravage a beauliful woman *
face in a very few years and leave
her a haggard shadow of her former
self. Jf a woman drinks heavily, even
if it does not t>ecnme a matter of
scandal and social ostracism, she will
lose her spiritual and physical beauty
and in a very little time It w-iil ‘ take
away her friends, sad, one by one,
and of her own kind heart an agate

It is of incalculable harm for the
young girl to touch any form of in
toxicants, both from the standpoint
of beauty and from the moral or men
tal standpoint. 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.

CZECHO-SLOV AKIA ASPIRES TO BE THE HUB OF EUROPE
By H. <i. WKIXS,
Author of the Outline of History.
Special ('able Dinpatrh I4i Tli»* Omiiha Bff.
Bohemia within its mountains If
like a square citadel In the center
•if Europe. Czechoslovakia, the old
Bohemian kingdom revived and ex
, lended, is the most orderly and suc
cessful of all the states created hy the
iieaty of Versailles. The republic un
derstands the modern need of pub
licity. What is done in Prague is
Heard of in the world.
The new treaty with France bring:*
< zeeho-Slovakia still more prominent
ly forward. Poor, exhausted, bankrupt
Poland Was thrust aside. Czechoslo
vakia becomes the keyatone of
Prance’s rearrangement of alliances.
But Czecho slovakia is a different
^ country from Poland, it is .sturdier,
-;"i less romantically inclined. Its presi
£■" dent and his chief minister are among
the most level-headed, far-seeing Kuro
pean statesmen, and It is likely to
prove a restraining influence on
French activities.
Bohemia is the projecting westward
angle of the Slav world: its language
Is closely akin to Russian. Serbian.
Polish and Bulgarian. Within its
boundaries there are more than three
million Germans, and three quarters
of a million Magyars. Its natural des
tiny seems to Vie to a<-t as a region
of exchange and interpretation be
tween the Slavic world. German
speech encloses it on three sieles. With
13,000,000 odd and heterogeneous pop
ulation. largely engaged In agricul
ture. it cannot lie a country e>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;.--*

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. Ttussia. Poland and the other

countries of southern and eas'ern
Europe.
Just how the change will work out
in numbers will be upderstood from
the following sets of figures.
First, let us take a number of
oountr‘.e« from western and northern
Europe and show the number of im
migrants now permitted to come in
from those countries under the pres
ent quota cf S per cent of the num
ber of natives of those countries al
ready here according to the census
of 1910:
Great Britain .77.24!
Germany . *7.*07
Sweden . 20.04!
Norway . 12.202
France . 5,729
Denmark . 5. *19
England Nut Hard Hit.
Those are the numbers permitted
to come In from the countries named
under tho present quota of J per cent
based on the census of 1910. I.et us
now see the numbers who will be
permitted to come In from the same
countries finder the proposed chance
to 1 per cent based on the number
of individuals of these c.•untries al
ready here, according to the census
of 1SS0:
Great Britain . *1.453
Germany .SI.ST*
Sweden .. * SOI
Norway . 0,454
France ... 3 914
Denmark . S.TS3
It will be observed that, w hile there
will he seme reduetlen in the quotas
for these countries. It is not a ma
terial reduction as respects the larg
est of them. Great Britain and Ger
many. And. while It is a material re
duction as regards Sweden, Norway
and Denmark, the reduction even in
these cases is not nearly so great
,aa in the case of the other croup of
countries of southern and eastern
Europe
Others Greatly Cut.
I.et us now turn to this other group
of countries and show just how »e
vers a limitation w ill !>e put upon im
tlon from thfiu by the c ss law
is It is now proposed:
l’ltst. consider the number of im
!migrants who can come in from these

Those are tile numbers who a re
now allowed to come ttt each year,
from their respective countries ac
cording to the present I -- * . f 3 per
• enl of those already here under the
census of 1910 I.et us now show the

It will be ohserved that the redufy

these countries of southern and east
