BEAUTY AND ARTIST DEBA TE OVER TYPICAL AMERICAN GIRL

Penrhyn Stanlaws Expresses Disappointment Over Pick at Atlantic City Contest —‘Miss Coney Island' Says v He Don’t Know Everything, By JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT NEA Service Staff Writer. fit t |E"W YORK, Sept. 24.—What sort of girl is the typical Amer--1 ican girl? Seventy-six cities tried to find out by sending candidates to Bkilantdo City, where beauty honors were dispensed by a jury of fitmons artists. Then, when it was all over, Penrhyn Stanlaws, who has been Brwing beautiful girl pictures for years and years, shocked everybody by saying he was disappointed over these “typical” American girls. If she wasn’t at Atlantic City, where was she? Who is she? SSnd why? Rushing up to Woodstock, artists’ colony just outside New York, I asked Stanlaws. Rushing back I picked out Miss Heath Bulalia Walker—candidate and prize winner—and asked her. And just see how they disagree! Read:

WHAT THE MAN SAYS

Tyr] OODSTOCK, N. Y. ( Sept. 24. yY "Am I to understand, Mr. Stanlaws,” I says, “that you’ve been so bqjd as to say that there wasn’t a single typical American girl over at that beauty contest at Atlantic City?’’ It was in the artists' colony up at Woodstock whither Mr. Stanlays had Retired after the arduous task of pass lag Judgment on seventy-six beauties and whither I had trailed him to his lair. I looked at Mr. Stanlaws intently. Re’s certainly a grand looking man. “I wouldn’t go so far as to say that,*? he returned. "TFhat I did say Was that we’d never And the typical American girl until we had a beauty contest where all classes of girls were represented. College girls, society girls, working girls and all that.” “And what was the principal thing Wrong with the beauties the various cities picked, Mr. Stanjaws?” I says. “Artists should have picked them In the first place,” says he. "Naturally,” says I. "Not at all,” says he. “It Is merely that an artist Is not led astray by a curl or a dimple as Is the ordinary business man. The faculties of an trust are co-ordinated. And the girls thoiild be picked in their bathing

Gdlth, tyDr. CC.Robinson CAUSE OF GOITER mHE cause of goiter has been recently subjected to much discussion on the part of physicians and laymen alike. Much light has been thrown on the so-called sources- of local infection. Mysteries which have surrounded goiter, chronlo rheumatism and diseases of the stomach and kidneys, have been under strict obeservation. Intestinal stagnation may cause true Infection by micro-organisms penetrating the tissues. However, many cases of chemical poisoning. It is now believed, are due to local infection, arising in other regions. Dr. De Courey of Cincinnati, head of the filter clinic at Seton Hospital has advanced the statement that goiter Is caused by fatigue or excessive exercise. After the treatment of three thousand patients, he is positive that much careful thought must be given the subject of physical exercise in schools and other places, by girls and women. Eight women develop goiter to every two men. "Excessive athletic and gymnastic work, v especially In high schools, when girls are going through the adolescent period, In my opinion Is being overdone at present,’ the doctor says. “Several years ago I advanced the theory that fatigue plays an Important part In the production oif goiter, and I felt that the growth develops when the normal limit of a patient’s endurance is exceeded, whether suddenly or gradually. Women develop goiter more readily, because their *one of endurance is more narrowed than that ■ t men.” If the growth of goiter in girls and Women can be prevented by careful dieting and, as Dr. Courey says, by avoiding nervous tension and strenuous exercise; one of the greatest disasters may be a thing of the past In a comparatively few years.

suits, not evening dresses. It would save a great many heartaches.” The voice of America’s popular magazine cover artist continued dreamily: “More society girls ought to get into these contests... ,a girl ought to get a long glass and practice before It....and watch good dramatic actresses, Elsie Ferguson or Julia Marlowe or Mary Fickford, who is the real beauty, because she embodied the American girl ideal of innocence and of course there must be brains there can be no real beauty without brains... .didn't I think so?” "Beg pardon,” I murmured. I had been watching the waves In his hair. Why don’t they have beauty contests for men?

WHAT THE GIRL C AYS

T“T] EW YORK, Sept. 24.—"We11, |N Peggy, m’dear,” I says, “and . what do you think of the typical American girl?” Her name" isn’t really Peggy, you know. It’s Miss Heath Eu’.alia Walker, and she was “Miss Coney Island” In the national beauty race. “Penrhyn Stanslaws?” says Peggy. "Oh, you mean the fellow that was down at Atlantic City with a tape measure? Said we weren’t typical American girls—yearned for college girls and society girls and all that?” Peggy sniffed and said argumentatively:

American Designer Shows Some of Most Distinctive Styles in Paris

By MARIAN HALE. NEA Service Writer. PiARIS, Sept. 24.—Very few American designers have the l__J courage to compete with the Parisians In their own stronghold of style, but Yvonne Davidson, wife of the American sculptor, Jo Davidson, has. Her understanding of Americana and her knowledge of the type of clothes they like and need, has enabled her to change her once small, modest shop in Paris, to a prosperous and pretentious one, where she shows some of the most distinctive and beautiful frocks In Paris, and where she designs with her own countrywomen In mind. "Many American women come to Paris and develop a serious case of ‘buyitls,’ " she explained. "They see a great many gorgeous frocks in a short time, see them on girls selected to show them off to the best advantage, lose their heads and begin an orgy of buying. Not So Good "When they return home they realize that most of the things they bought, while they looked gorgedus in Paris, aren’t just suited to them, after al}. “It isn’t the fault of the Parisian designers, but of the American women themselves. The average woman is afraid to stick to her type of frock, the one she knows looks really well on her. “The Parisienne buys very carefully. She buys economically, too. Regardless of the general supposition, she does not buy extreme styles. She also takes exquisite care of her things. She selects more carefully than the American woman because she has so much less money for clothes. I find that women with less money to spend invariably make the wisest choices.” Works Both Ways This season Mrs. Davidson 1s showing a novelty in the way of a reversible frock. In place of buying one dress, you buy two, made on exactly the same model, Mie Is light, the other dark. They are cut cleverly, so that when the light dress Is on top the dark one forms the trimming, or when you have elected to wear the dark one, the

COOKED OYSTERS A r ~~~ m LTHOUGH oysters are high in price there is little waste. So i I for the money Invested the amount of nourishment is great. Care should be taken in cooking oysters that they are not overcooked. Nor should they be subjected to too high a temperature during cooking. Oysters are a protein food and their digestibility depends much on the care used In cooking them. If they are overcooked or too quickly cooked they become tough, leathery and hard to digest. Raw oysters may be served to Invalids, and steamed or baked oysters and plain oyster stew are easily digested. “Made” dishes of oysters are more difficult to digest because of the “makings,” the oysters themselves being practically steamed or baked In the other Ingredients. Baked Oysters If possible choose oysters in the shell. Wash shells and place in drip-

"What's the matter with ’Miss Richmond,’ who’s going to be presented at court next year? And ‘Miss Tulsa.’ whose father's an admiral in the Navy or something? And ’Miss Dallas.' who’s private secretary to an awfully brilliant lawyer? What does Mr. Stanslaws expect, anyhow?” "And Mr. Stanslaws says," I pursued, “that it takes at least five generations to make a beauty. Personally, he'd like to have ’em go back to the Mayflower.” "I don't believe it,” says Peggy. "Beauty’s just an accident.” “Perennial Influence,” prompted Mama Walker. “That’s it,” says Peggy.

Why, I’ve seen perfectly homely parents with the loveliest children imaginable.” “But,” I says, “Mr. Stanslaws says that if a mother who had worked in the fields over in Europe were to come to America her child might have a pretty face, but one generation couldn't remove the thick ankles and the coarse hands.” “Did you ever!” says Peggy. "Why, when they had a contest to And the girl with the most beautiful hands, she was a girl who washed dishes every day, did her own scrubbing and everything." Peggy sniffed again.

jyjartha Lee Her Column

Invalid Wonders Dear Martha Lee: I am an invalid woman at the age of 50 years. There is a man at the age of 60 who seems to be Ir love with me. He is very well-to-do. Wliai Is his object in wanting me? DOUBTFUL NELL. At your age. and this man’s, love means companionship. The man probably admires your character, and has the good sense to realize that character will bring him more true happiness than any superficial “love” from a flnancially-ambitious young girl. M. MAY: Pay no attention to these girls. If a man earns his living honestly he should not be scorned just because not every one in his trade is equally honest. There are “crooks" in the highest professions, unfortunately. On Holding Friendship Dear Miss Lee: Last spring I met a boy who lives in Indianapolis. He comes to our town every two or three weeks, to spend the week-end and he always comes to sea me. Last time he was here, ha seemed changed. He acted as If he might be tired of me. I like him and always have such good times with him that Id hate to have him stop coming. I do not “run after” him. for I know the disastrous result of that. He has just written me that he Is coming out again, soon, and wants to come to see me. Do you think that if I don’t see him this time, ho will be more eager to see me next? I think that if I write Him that he jannrt see me. he will not come to his uncle's, where he visits, at all. He often has told me he comes just to see me. SALOME It seems to me ou are worrying foolishly. If the boy were tired of your company he would not be so eager to see you. And he probably would doubt your friendship, should you refuse to see him. NEMESIS: I am afraid you can not expect much help from this man. If. as you say, you were as much to blame as he was you hardly have a right to sk him to leave town. you think it might be better for you to stay, too, and fight this out? If you can prove to your own satisfaction that you have risen above your past mistakes, you will And the future much easier. Gifts for Boys My Dear Miss Leo : 1. What are suitable gifts for a boy of 16? 2. While staying in the country, I met a rice boy who is near my own age. He lives in another State and I see him only in the summer. We corresponded. Do you think this is all right? 3. When inviting girls to a party, is It excusable to ask them to bring boy friends? M. 3. B. H. 1. Handkrchiefs, fountain pen or sliver pencil, or books. 2. Yea, as long as you write only "friendship” letters, as, of course, you do. 3. It Is poor taste. It is much bettor to Invite both boys and girls yourself.
