Nearly overhead, east of the aenlth,
you see the great star Arcturus, In the
constellation Bootes. It Is another
monstrous sun, probably not as large as
Sploa, but looking larger because It Is
not so far away. Professor Simon New
comb estimated Its real brightness at
about a thousand times that of the Bun.
Rather low down In the west shines
tho star Regulus, a vast sun In the
constellation ieo, some of whose other
stars are so placed as to. Imitate the form
of a sickle.
Away over In the northwest your eye
will catch the glitter of an exceedingly
beautiful star named Vega, In the con
stellation Lyra. It Is another of the
giants. With a glass It shows a brilliant
blue-white color, perhaps the most beau

liancy Vega might be called the Paris

Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women
Sophye Barnand Talks on Beautiful Arms and Shoulders
By LILIAN LAUKERTV
Once upon a time a clever woman said:
"Stsys make waists." Just now waUts
are out of fashions: but another clever
woman has told mo how to produce the
highest typo of modern figure all lissome,
swaying curves, beautiful whole. And In
her creed there are neither "stays" nor
"waist."
"As a first step toward a good flguro
learn to stand," said Sophyo Barnard, a
ncont recruit from comlo opera to vaudo
vnie, under tho B. F. Keith management.
'And as a regular promenade In the di
rection of a figure good enough to go on

And artificial first aids to the figure-

different from all the others arid yet
how many of them can you recognize?
How many of them do you know by
name, or by appearanco and surround-.
Yet the geography of the heavens Is
easier to learn than that of the earth,,
and this la a good -time to begin. Just
now,' about 9 o'cock 'at night, there are
no great planets (which are likely to be
confused as stars) visible to puzzle the
beglhner In learning the real stars.
Here Is a little chart which will help
you. It represents the whole visible heav
ens at 3 o'clock In. the, evening. Thri top
Is north, the bottom south, the right
hand west and the left-hand east. The
center Is the space overhead.
Look first'toward the south, There you
star less than half way. from the horizon
to the point overhead. It Is Splca in th
constellation Vlgro. It Is a sun probr
ablfr thousands of times brighter than
ivrs. How do we know that? By com
pr.rlnc the amount of light that It sends
rs with the light of the sun, and then
remembering (hat the Intensity of light
(alls off as the square of the distance,
rut; the sun a thousand times as far
as It really Is and Its light would
be a million times less than It now ap
pears. But Splca Is at least two million
be Snvlslble, except with the telescopes,
fori Us Usht would be diminished four
mlltlon-bllllon times! Yet Splca. at that
distance, Is still a bright star to ths
naKed eye.
Off In the eastern quarter, close to the
horizon, you can catch a brilliant red
gleam, It comes from the star Antares,
In the constellation Scorpio. That, too,
Is one of the slant suns, and a telescope J It Is strictly bo
Qapella, In the constellation Auriga, jujt
setting and flaming magnificently on the
horizon. The spectroscope shows that
Capella closely resembles our sun In con
stitution, but It Is more than a hundred
times brighter.
To the right of Capella are the twin
stars Castor and Pollux, In the constella
tion Gemini. If our sun were near either
pt them It would fall a captive, like a
child In the hands of a giant, for It Is
much smaller than they are.
North of the point overhead Is tht
Great Dipper, formed by seven stars ot
the constellation Ursa Major, and the
outer pair In the bowl of the "Dipper"
point directly to the North or Pole star,
around which the whole heavens appear
to swing. This star, too, Is of enormous
actual size, although It does not appear
as bright as many of the others.
' At least two of the great stars men
tioned have very remarkable companions.
Srlca Is attended by a huge dark, or In
visible star, with which It swings swiftly
round and round like a black and a white
wrestler striving to trip each other. The
companion sun of Capella Is not dark,
but so closely are they grappled (hat only
the spectroscope Is able to show that
there are two of them.
Whether these struggling suns have
accidentally met or were created together,
Is a question that cannot now be an
swered. I am doing you a kindness when I ad
vise you to go out the first fair night
and make acquaintance with these won
ders of the sky, for no one ever studied
or even looked at the universe without
feeling the better for It Aratus, the
Greek, declared more than 2,000 years
ago that "from all quarters the heavens i

seeker, Just try a course, of singing les
sons.
"A girl works pretty hard to get a beau
tiful voice, or Just to cultivate a fairly
pleasing one but It pays even In unex
pected ways, for- she suddenly finds a
good figure thrown In as a premium, and
a.good figure Is a rather attractive thing
to possess, Isn't It?" added Miss Barnard,
ingenuously. ,
Rarely does one see a more beautiful
figure than Miss Barnard's, whloh js
made of absolutely the most graceful
possible combinations of slender curves.
I thing her theories may be taken as the
last word on how to make & perfect poise
bring out every good point In your own
natural figure.
"The actress learns to be always lightly
poised on her feet," said Miss Barnard,
"She learns to stand so that she may
spring Instantly Into action; she never
slouches or lounges or falls Into ungrace
ful lines or abandon Into which her figure
with a little unfortunate practice, might
easily .come to arrange Itself naturally.
She Is poised, tense, alert. That keys her
up to look and feel vividly alive, and It
trains her figure into tho right lines. It Is
Just as Important to keep your figure
from sagging as to keep your mouth
from drooping at the corners.
"In singing, you learn to hold the mus
cles of the abdomen tense, to keep the
chest high and filled with an cverchang
lng supply of clean air as you ventilate
your lungs at each deep breath "
"Won't you give me a little exhibition
ot correct standing and breathing?' I
asked.
Mlsii Barnard throw off nor negligee nnd
stood revealed in pink silk shirt and
knlche.rs-the pretet llttlo .gymn suit I
havo over seen for a mlnuto she drop
ped her shoulders and caved her Chest

caricature of Its flowing curves. Thrfn
she advanced hor right foot nnd atodd
tensely alert, with the weight of her
body swung forwarl onto tho ball of
that foot She took a deep breath, begin
ning at the firmly held abdominal walls,
and pulling the. air up Into full white
chest. Throat, shoulders and chest pulsed
Into firm contours; and' shoulders and
throat like Bophye Barnard's became In
themselves, beauties worth emulating.
"I think your first beauty secret Is too
rood to stay a secret long," said I. Now
won't you tell me? what rules of hygiene
and diet you bring to be Its lieutenants?"
"My rules are all very slmplo anyone
can put them Into practice," said the
charming singer, "Simple foods, with no
Ices or sodas or pastries, are my Idea of
the correct filet although I can eut what
I like without falling prey to indigestion;
but I take no advantage of that ability,
and I suppose the reason I can combine
a welsh rarebit and broiled live loVatr
and strawberry Ice cream Is because I
don't!
"I lead a very regular life, too though
the popular fancy does not picture an
actress doing that. I always am In bed
by 12; scarcely ever visit cafes, but have
my after-theater parties at home, where
I am sure ot simple, wholesome food, of
pure air to breathe, and of getting to bed
In duo sea-on. People who dine In cafes
on rich, heavy foods, and breathe the
heavy, artificial air of the restaurant the
while they do If are sure to get fat or
Indigestion or bpth."
"You lay great stress on sirnple food
and correct poise. Tho Inner woman
seems well taken care of In your rules
of the Riimo," said I. "Now will you
tell all of us how to have smooth, satiny
hair and Hkln?"
"Do you consider me qualified to give
advice on those subjects?" asked Miss
Barnard In the pleaded tone of a good
child who has. been praised.
"I did, and I do."
"You wash your hair more times than
the old-fashioned theories taught you to
you brush it all the time, whenever yon
Ket a chance, and then when It .Is brushed
and washed Into a clean fresh mass you
dress It as smoothly and gracefully as
possible, and keep It In Its proper place
as backK round for your face.
"And as for skin, when you have ob
served the rules of keeping your Internal
rystom sweet and clean, you do the same
by externals. Keep the skin clean and
uncngged and free to do some correot
bteathlng of Its own, and then make It
soft and flexible by the-constant uso of
good cold cream."
Perhaps all this sounds like constant,
unceasing hard work. If you feel dis
couraged before ever you begin look
earnestly at Mts Barnard's beautiful
arms and shoulders, at the perfect sym
metry of her graceful figure. To ap
r oach "a consummation so devoutly to
b desired'' who will not sacrifice a bit
of old and some lazy habits T
UK cat Is what the
kitten turns Into
when It Is W years
old and gets three
chins. Only tho Cat
never finds out that
It Is no longer a kit
ten, and It goes
along noting kitten
ish until doath over
takes It trying to
do a cute trick. This
Id one ot tho 9,879,431
reasons why people
take to their heels
when they sen thin
fearsome animal up-
approaching. ,
This cruel and ferocious beast, which
has been well named tho Terror of the
Hearthstone, Is found In all parts of the
habitable Klobo, but It abounds most
plentifully In civilized communities, ow
ing to foolish game laws which provide
no open scauon In which It may bo shot
at sight This Is a sad mlstaka which
will doubtless be corrected In time; but,
In consequonco of It, there Is scarcely
a neighborhood at present that Is not
Infested by one or more old Cats that
make life a burden to the entire com
munity. Undoubtedly there Is no other living
creature that Inspires such abject fear
In the heart of man ns does tho Cat No
man has over yet had sufficient courage
to pursuo one and capturo It, or try to
domesticate- It, and there are Innumerable
Instances on record ot Intrepid hunters
of big game, who have tracked the hip
popotami to their lairs In darkest Africa
and dallied with
lions and tigers In
the Jungle, who
have turned and
flod without even
putting up a fight
when they found a
Cat had taken pos
session of their own
homos.
When men su
dread and fear thu
Cat, It may seem
strange that so
many possess these
pestiferous animals.
The explanation Is
to be found In the
fact that hope springs eternal In the
human breast and that you never can'
persuade u. man that a pretty and cun
ning little kitten Is going to grow up to
be like its ma. Every man' has seen the
thing happen a .million tlnies, but he ijrt
confident It won't occur to htm until It
doeH. Then It's too late. The cataatropho
has happened. '
In looks the Cat Is of a harmless and
even Innocuous appearance, especially
when It Is young; and, although it has
very sharp claws, it keeps them con
cealed until there Is a good chance to
scratch.
One of Its favorite ways ot clawing Is
by apparently paying you a compliment,
as, for Instance, when one says to a
woman: "My dear, what a pretty new
ring you have. I always think those
little cheap diamond chips make up so
effectively;" or, "Darling, how well ypu
aro looklngl You must have gained fif
teen pounds this summer;" or, to a man,
"Oh, Mr. Smith, how clover you ore at
driving nn automobllol You get almost
as much speed out
of this cheap llttU
machlno as Mr. Cro
esus does out ot his
big Imported Car."
Of tho habits ot
the Cat only three
things aro defl- ,
nttely known. One
ot theso Is that It
will purr under
your hand only so
long as you stroke
tho fur the right
way, and the min
ute that you ruffle
It It will spring at
ybif nnd tear you
to pieces. Another is that tho Cat loves '
a warm brick and invariably snuggles up
to the man In sight who has the biggest
pocketbook and Is tho best spender; wnllo
its third characteristic Is Its ability to
howl all night without taking time to
catch Its breath, and to murder sleep
for all In Its vicinity. It has been esti
mated that tho vocal power of 'a Cat is
'17,980,721 kilowatts nn hour.
There aro a great mnny varieties of
Cats. Therq Is the Kitten .Cat, who claws
ovpry other girl and tells young, men that
thefr complexions are hand-made; there
Is the Houso Cat, who claws her husband .
because she can't have an automobile;
there Is tho Professional Cat, who claws
her rivals In business; thero is the Club
Cat, who cjaws everything in sight every
time she can't boss things; there is the
Society Cat, who
scratches the repu
tation of o v e r y
woman who does
not Invito her to her
parties; and thero.
Is tho Mother-In-law
Cat, who simply
eats the poor 'son-in-law
nllve. Bho la
the most feared of
the different varie
ties of Cats, be
cause, when she
t a k e t h up her
abode In a man's
houso, he can nei
ther drive her out
nor smoke her out.
,'l')ie spitting ot Cats is what Is known
teohlncally as repartee.
Most Cats belong to the feminine gen
der.but when thoy are Tommies. Instead
fit Tabbies they are tho Cattlest Cats on
earth.
