f What Men Think JI1 1 jf A Talk With the Unsuccessful J
i
By CHARLES
Winifred Black, In her Interesting arti
cle on "The Beauty Crase," printed re
cently In The Bee, atika with her char
acteristic directness and sincerity.
"What tha American man thinks of all
this be-beautlfut-or-
die cult"
"Do the men
really demand this
sort of thins?" aha
says referring, of
course, to the
straining efforts
that some women
make to be beauti
ful. It Is respectfully
submitted that In
general men do not
demand or appre
ciate the excesses
In feminine clothe
and cosmetics that
Winifred Black de
scribes. Some men
do, but they are not
the kind of men
that Miss Black would consult. They
match the women she criticises.
These men and women are in hot pur
suit of fine things. But they do not
know what fine things ere. They are
under the illusion that fineness Is the op
posite of efficiency, and that eleganco is
achieved by dead-ret to be useless or to
seem to be.
' Thla way of thinking Is very old. It
has been fortified by false philosophers
and false religions, by all the Inveterate

laws of caste and privilege, by senti
mental literatures, by the durillng futil
ities of finance, by the temperamental
artists, and pretty nearly the whole rare
of haberdashers and hairdressers since
the bewildered world began.
"The beauty craze" of which Winifred
Black writes so eloquently, so persua
sively, with such healing wisdom, Is a
great thing pone wrong. Jt Is the morbid
and distempered aspect of the greatest
thing In the human world to wit, the
passion for perfection. '
What do sensible men think of the
painted women? They think of them
with pity and sorrow, and with contri
tion for their own ancestral sins that
made the painted women possible.
But do such men think lightly of thai
posslonate striving after beauty even
at cost of ease and with high sacrifice
which Is the special glory and travail of
true womankind? Most assuredly not.
The struggle after beaut?- of shop
girls, housewives- of narrow means,- the
myralds of frail burden bearers at the
base of our crushing eoonomlo system
Is the age's grail-quest and martyrdom.
Nothing In really more fine than the
way some women, in mean streets, make
fine art out of their ooarse conditions and
translate Into elegance all the difficult
processes of housekeeping and child
rearing, and the grim necessities of
board and clothes.
Why begrudge their ribbons and dimity
things? ......
These are their" decorations of royalty,
and their ribbons of the legion of honor.

By MILES OVERHOLT.
"Curiosity, It Is said, once killed a
cat," said Piute Pete, as he thoughtfully
took a handful of matches from the
whatnot. "If that be true, I snow where
a man who has a few bales of curiosity

"Last night at my flat the midnight
air was split In . twain and. busted up
the back in nine places under my window
by a herd of cats that was holding a sort
of campmeetlng and auction sale com

"80 I threw the pitcher and the wash
bowl and some photographs and my shoe
at the felines; but It failed to break up
the session to any extent. The cats
merely climbed up on the roof and con
tinued to transact business In the regular
order.
"Then I got up and ran against a rock
ing cbalr and fell Into the fireplace,
'driving one Of my best toes Into the
wall so far I had to draw myself loose
with a porous plaster, and knocking the
varnish off my nose. Then I threw my
trousers and an empty whisky bottle that
the Janitor had left In the room by mis
take at the cats, and broke a window out
of nn adjoining rrvom. I then stood on
a Vollar button, which up to that time
had been lost, and thought it over.
, "I decided to climb out of the window
and kick the cats off the roof.
"When I reached the roof all the cats
had disappeared but one. Tt remained
perfectly still while I tiptoed tip to It,
holding onto the roof with one hand (me.
I mean) and driving shingle nails Into
the roof head first with my bare feet.
That was about the barest fent I ever
did.
"When I got close enough to the cat
I drew back my right foot and kinked
with the condensed strength and eager
ness of hours of suffering
"There was a crash as my foot struck
the corner of the roof, which had In

"The doctor says he will be able to
save my foot, owing to Its great con
stitution and strength; but the car
penter says the roof must have suffered
the wrath of an earthquake.
."These are a few reason why I .can
use some curiosity, the stronger the better."
f How To Be Beautiful 1
By MARGARET 1IUBRRI A YER.
Last summer I went abroad to "do"
the various beauty establishments In
London, Paris and Berlin. It was. an In
teresting pilgrimage and proved con
clusively that Lincoln was wrong when
' he said that you couldn't fool all the
' people all the time.
It'a being done daily at tremendous
profit to the doer and much expense to
the person done.
One of my first errands took me to an
exclusive beauty shop In Bond street,
which has an old and established reputa
tion and which was one of the first places
In London to open a manicuring depart
ment. "Of course they will have romething
quite new In the line of fingernail polish
ing," thinks I to myself, so I put my
'. hands In with those of an exceptionally
pretty manicure and told her to do her
beat and newest.
She did.
She looked mi in the eye while she
whittled my nails, and told me all the
gossip she had Leard. She liked Ameri
cans. She had Just finished polishing the
hands of our moat celebrated financier.
"You'd never believe that he was so
rich. Why he looks that shabby, with a
waistcoat spotted with grease I'd say he
" was only two-pound-a-week man, but
they tell me he own the At'.antlc ocean.
Vou'd think he'd 'ave better clothes."
In her sweet English voice she chatted
on. I listened to her, quite fascinated,
and tried not to scream when she Inad
vertently cut me. The light was very
bad, but she said she didn't need a good
light to do nails by.
"I'm so accustomed to them," she prat
tled on merrily.
She thought the queen foolish not to do
her hair In a modern may and wouldn't
Mry a bottle of the wonderful new liquid
soap every one was using It.
She has Just washed the hands of
American's richest millionaire with It. I
bought a small bottle, paying exactly 100
timea what it waa worth, for It proved to
be tincture of green soap perfumed with
lemon verbena. The salves and polishes
she used were old friends of mine, put up
in new boxes. Fhe helped me on with my
gloves and bowed me out of the shop
gracefully.
It had really been too dark to see them
before. I had no nails left to speak of,
but the roots were a brilliant red. The
pretty lady had carved and cut reck
Itssly while ahe hypnotised me with her
flightly conversation. And I had paid her
for It. though I know better. The ex
perience with the manicure waa one of
many that I had before I reached the
conclusion that Europe no longer leads

In matters pertaining to what Is sen

Doth London and Paris can show us
many tricks In cosmetics and makeup for
everyday purposes, but In rational, sen
sible hygiene they are still far behind us.
They do not realise that perfect cleanli

good skin and that the ordinary American
is educated to that point where "faking"
is no longer tolerated.
Everywhere In London and Paris I met
with operators like the little manicure
who knew nothing about their business.

With ships like those, my sons."

From your shoe tops to your crown.

Where tho farthest billows ride.
Then It's: "Guess they know the way,
