Cheer Up Girls! Eve&y
Woman Is Beautiful
to SOME Men
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
When a man wants to prove a
favorite theory, he begins collecting
itatistici, taking note, visiting for
eign countries, that promise to con
tribute the desired information, and
finally he writes book, which, of
ten as not, gathers dust on the shel
ves of public libraries. Mere it re
mains uncalled for, unread and
unsung.
A woman on the other hand has
a much less expensive, less cum
bersome method, of arriving at
conclusions than this she consults
her intuition, and nine time out of
ten she is right.
For instance, Prof. W. M. Galil
ean wrote a book on "The Psychol
ogy of Marriage," in which he says
that "primitive man was allured by
physical charm and is still so at
tracted among uncivilized tribes."
Just how uncivilized he regards
present day Americans, Englishmen,
Frenchmen and other Europeans
who put on straw hats in May,
wear linen collars and hard-boiled
shirts, it would be difficult to say.
But certainly no woman would take
the time and trouble to write a
book about the havoc physical
charm causes among men, gentle or
savage.
She recognizes that as an incon
trovertible truth, and she would
never think of visiting the Hotten
tots to observe its baleful effect.
She may see it next door, down town
or under her own roof, for that
matter.
To her straight-to-the-point. in
stinctive way of looking at things
a book on the subject would b? a
waste of ink. Without stopping to
theorize, she turns to the business
in hand the subjugation of man
by good looks, either natural or ac
quired. She changes -her figure, the color
of her hair, her expression, her very
stature itself to suit the prevailing
standards of beauty, whatever they
may be. Her business is to look
pretty and appeal, and this she does
"i . - -....11.. In 1, m4n(im.
qUIlt: SUCtCSSlUUJf. Ill me uisni"'.
man writing tomes on the subject,
gets no nearer the truth than
"Primitive man was allured by
physical charm, and is still so at
tracted among uncivilized tribes."
. Personal Experience to Help.
His own experiences are appa
rently no help to him. He sees a
Hottentot worship a fat lady that
particular' heathen's ideal of beauty
his own Waterloo may be exces
sive slenderness, lie falls, but he
never learns.
Standards of female beauty differ
all over the world, the Arab ad
mires slenderness to the point of
emanciation. Other desert tribes
share. the.Arab's abhorrence of fat.
Readers of the "Garden of Allah"
will recall Hitchin's description of
Irena, the Kabyje dancing girl who
looked enemic, almost tubercular,
yet thrilled the spectators to the
verge of frenzy by her dagger dance.
He thus describes her:
"Her features were narrow and
pointed. Her bones -were tiny, and
her body was so slender, her waist
so small, that, with her flat breast
and meager shoulders, she looked al
most like a stick crowned with a
human face and hung with brilliant
-draperies."
The tribes of Africa, on the con
trary, esteem fat. And they are not
alone in their admiration of a gen
erous outline. "The Reubens
type," says mother authority, "is
perhaps the most admired by man.
No doubt the desire for a disparity
of structure and form, in the two
sexes, is deep and fundamental."
Havelock Ellis, who has written a
library on the general subject oi
sex attraction, asserts that carriage)
has a decided influence on selection,
and that an awkward gait detracts
from a woman's attractiveness.
Stoutness is, however, not neces
sarily a handicap to graceful move
ments. Spanish women tend to
stoutness, but they have the inward
curved spine, which makes for sta
tuesque bearing and nimbleness in
motion.
Carrying Bucket on Head.
The carrying of a bucket of water
or other burden on the head in
sures an incomparable beauty of
gait. A number of opera singers
have recourse to this particular
form of exercise in their physical
culture exercises. It insures' poise,
with a rhythmic, yet hardly percep
tible undulation. Many of the
women of our Indian tribes have
this splendid characteristic in walk
ing, due to the bearing of head bur
dens. Ideals change, the excessive
slenderness that has been so much
admired in America of late years
was not very long ago regarded as
distinctly unattractive. The belles
of the '80s wore a garment called a
"basque" that fittted them as a pin
cussion fits its cover. Furthermore,
they distended the back breadth of
their skirts with steel atrocities
known as "reeds" and they were not
obliged, as are their present-day
counterparts, to .riye up cream and
potatoes in order to sidestep adi
pose tissue.
Before the reeds we had the
crinolines of the sixties, which were,
of course, a revival of a much earlier
fashion. The farthingale of the
Elizabethan days and the hoop
skirts of the Velasquez sitters were
doubtless designed to heighten the
suggestion of embonpoint when ex
cessive corpulence was the feminine
ideal of beauty.
Havelock Ellis also notes a mas
culine preference for blonds as
widespread. Even in Italy and
Spain, where an olive complexion is
a racial characteristic, fair women
are preferred.
The sole exception to this appears
t be the" Chinese, who abhor
blonds, regarding them as the rein
carnation devils. When Miss Carl
painted the portrait of the late
dowager empress of China, the im
perial lady gave the artist a mag
nificent sable cap with which to
cover her blonde tresses, as, even
a glimpse of blonde rrair was dis
tasteful to her.
Men write books on physical
characteristics and continue to give
themselves away in their chapters.
But woman does not commit her
self; she is there, however, with
whatever brand of beautv is called
for. "We aim to olease" might be
the motto of the fair sex, only on
thi snbiect she has succeeded in
maintaining an absolute silence. He
does the writing and talking, shtr
acts.

He looks cool, doesn't he? Why
not when his sailor costume is made
of Irish linen or pongee and is so
easily washed? Collar and cuffs of
brown taffeta are removable and the
entire suit is extremely serviceable.
Gleaning Household Articles
A knowledge of practical chem
istry and physics can be used to
good advantage in the home when
methods for removing stains and
cleaning household articles are to
be utilized. One must exercise care
in the choice of agents to see that
1 they do not injure the article to be
polished or cleaned.
Borax, added to water, greatly
aids in the removal of dirt, and most
readers are familiar with the use of
ammonia for this purpose, says a
writer in Electrical Experimenter
for July. All polished wood sur
faces, except those finished with
wax, may be cleaned with a weak
solution of ammonia, but they never
should be treated with a strong alka
line solution. Kerosene or turpen
tine may be used as solvents for
grease, and painted surfaces, espe
cially white, and may be cleaned with
whiting.
Leather may be kept bright or
clean with kerosene and occasionally
a little oil, marble may be scoured
with sandsoap, and alcohol is used
extensively to clean delicate glass.
As a substitute for dangerous gaso
line one may use carbor tetrachlorid,
which is non-inflammable. '

Girls Eat Too
Fast and
- Foolishly
Girls eat irregularly, too fast and
without the proper regard to the
rules of diet. Such is the pronounce
ment of Dr. Augusta Rucker, direct
or of the division of health of the
social education department, Young
Women's Christian association.
Next to faulty eating, lack of
proper exercise plays the most havoc
with girls' health nowadays, says
Dr. Rucker. Her plan is to establish
health centers all over the country,
where girls and business women can
be examined and advised in health
matters and where they may, if they
wish, enroll in classes tor gymna
sium work which will be given with
a special thought toward corrective
exercises. The purpose of the center
is lo keep women well.
A model health center has been
opened in New York City. Exami
nations are made from 12 until 10
p. m. daily in order to accommodate
business women. No fees are
charged. Any woman may go in to
be examined. Dr. Florence Mere
dith, who has recently made medical
examinations at Wellesley college
and at a Boston factory where 3,500
women were employed, is directing
the center.
There is a vital need for educat
ing women to a proper valuation of
their health. Dr. Rucker says. In
examining women of the National
Board of the Young Women's Chris
tian association I have found that
out of 414 women not one measured
up to normal. These are intelligent

Advice to the Lovelorn
Love Comes Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We Are '
No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave
the Sea."
By BEATBICE FAIRFAX
. Undecided.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
For soma time I have been an In
terested reader of your. "Advice to
Lovelorn" In The Omaha Bee. I'm
not lovelorn, but I am a business girl
of 19 coming: to you for a bit of
advice. What do you think of being
"everybody's pal?" I am working
In an office where there are a num
ber of men and no ladies employed.
I have been working for this firm
for over a year and until last De
cember I found no trouble in keep
ing my business relations with all
of them on a practical common
basis.
A, young man came to work for
the firm last December, and since
that time it has been very hard for
me to continue to do this. He ie
what story books would call a "per
fect gentleman," and' lately he has
asked me to become his wife. I am
proud of the honor and yet I am
not sure. Until I met him I had
been "everybody" pal." " I was not
serious with any one and never had
wharthe girls call a "steady." With
this boy I want to play square. I
had planned on attending business
college this fall, but he would rather
I should be married before October.
Don't you think that I had better
continue my studies for a while un
til I am sure. I do so want to be
fair with myself and with him, for
I like him Very much.
Thanking you beforehand, I am
very truly yours,
EVERYBODY'S PAL.
Remember, there is a great deal
more to the marrying game than
Just pretty new clothes, gifts and
general glamour. There Is always
the dull gray of the morning after,
and If you are not sure I advise
you to go slow by all means. You
women who are supposed to be fair
ly representative of health ideals.
"It is important for the industrial
girl to be able to say not only what
she can do today, but with a fair de
gree of certainty what she will be
able to do one year or two years
from today. If she comes to us com
paratively well, and follows our in
structions, she will be able to keep
her health and to improve it. For
that reason industrial girls will be
the first consideration at the health
center.
"In examining factory girls and
college girls, I have found that there
is no great difference in their condi
tions. It is true that one has been
under a mental strain and the other
under a physical strain, but I have
found that the girl who" is delicately
brought up has not the chances of
one who has had to rough it. The
main thing that is wrong with both
classes of girls is their faulty eating."

think you love him, for the simple
reason that there are doubta in
your mind. Oo to business college

Pawn Shop.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a goung girl coming to you for
a little information, but not "Ad
vice to the Lovelorn." Are there
any Jewelry or pawn shops here in
Omaha where one can sell second
hand rings at a reasonable price?
If so, can you give me the address?
How's my writing? Sincerely,
C. C.
My experience with pawn shops
has been so limited tKat I hesitate
to give advice. However, there are
such places listed In the classified
section of the phone book and city
directory.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a reader of your "Advice to
Lovelorn," so I have come to you
for advice. I am a girl with dark
hair, eyes ' and, dark complexion.
Now, a boy. friend of mine that I
like quite well goes with me once in

turn me down and go with the
worst girls In town. Would you go
with him if you were me? Do you
suppose he likes me? How old
should a girl be before she goes with
boys? What should one do if a
boy kisses and hugs you against
your will? Is my writing good or
poor? One night I went with a
boy and he tried to hug m before
we were introduced. Do you think
that was right? If you are well
Acquainted with a boy and you like
him is it all right for you to let
him kiss you? I hope to sea this
in print in The Omaha Dally Bee
soon. Iam A TWIN SISTER.
I am surprised that a self-respecting
young girl would go out with a
boy who treated her with such dis
courtesy. I fear he is fooling you.
A girl should be old enough to have
sense enough to conduct herself
properly. Some girls attain this de
gree of wisdom very early and some
never. Boys do not kiss girls
against their wishes more than once
if it occurs more often, the boy
evidently takes it for granted that
you are quite pleased with his fa
mlllarlty. The boy who tried to ktas
you before you were introduced waa

Personally, I don't care how many
boya you Aisa, but It ia bad taste in
the extreme and cheapens you in
their eyes. Now, with this advice,
go as far as you like and act aa silly
as possible.
Ask Him
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am in need of some good advice. I
am a girl, IS years of age. I am
engaged to be -married in one
month from n date. I think very
much of my fiance and he loves me
dearly, so he says. I always trusted
him and thought him true until one
week ago, when I saw him out rid
ing with anothef girl. I didn't say
anything to him, but I have thought
a lot about it and it worries me very
much. Should I let it go or should
I say sometrvng about it to him?
I would not like to marry him and
think him untrue. I have a beau
tiful diamond and we have selected
our furniture. I am undecided and
need your good advice. Pleas aa
slat me if you can. IN DOUBT. - ,
Mention it to him and relieve;
your mind. He may have met some
friends, who merely said: "Jump in '
and take a little air with us." No
harm to that at all. Then, he may
be all wrong. Ask him. .

ing. so why bother me? If you 14- ,
