‘OE to beauteous ideals, long nurtured
' and jealously guarded! An old wom
an is handsome, wrinkles are be
coming, and a dash of rouge no more
is a crime against the symphony of
feminine loveliness.
Evil days have befallen the tradi
tional “bloom of youth,” “chestnut
tresses” and the soulful “brown
orbs” of which poets have sung
immemorial. Grandmother at last is
coming into her own. She is en
sconced upon an artistic pedestal
for the edification of those “snips of
girlhood” who have the temerity to hint ‘‘she was
handsome in her day." She's a beauty right now,
thank you!
Mother and grandmother owe their idealistic
rejuvenation to the New York men whose stock
in trade is feminine loveliness—the artists who
paint and etch and model. They’ve taken us
down a bit, those of us who rave of fair hair, be
witching eyes, peach-bloom tints and aquiline
features. For on this single point they are
unison:
I A woman can be beautiful at fifty.
Harken to what Harrison Fisher, Irvin Wiles,
Edwin Blashfield and Victor D. Brenner say.
This galaxy of illustrator, painter, mural deco
rator and sculptor has come to the defense of
physical beauty in a woman past the middle span
of life. They’ve all seen matrons and spinsters
■who were handsome when the half-century post
had faded on the ten-year distant horizon.
Cheer up, mothers, grandmothers, aunts and
cousins—you whose silver-sprinkled tresses
droop over sylvan folds of face and brow! What
matters it if nature rebels at the strain of busy
life and sears your velvet cheeks with the in
evitable wrinkles of motherly devotion? You’re
handsome still!
The fair debutante may appeal to the eye for
beauty no more than her mother from whom the
color of buoyant youth has flown; whose flesh
has lost the satin gloss of girlhood days: whose
tender lips have compressed in the firmness that
comes of mental strength and mature character.
None the less is the artistic eye today appre
ciative of vivacious girlhood with its luminous
flesh and radiant nature. But it has turned to
another quarter for a type of beauty that has
survived from the birth of man, but never shone
resplendent in the light of public approval.
The mature woman —she who has the fullness
of life, the mental development and the strong
force ft character written in every age line of
her countenance —has been called beautiful. She
has been striving for this verdict for centuries
and centuries, but only now has her day of reck
oning with youth come. She can match her
charms with her sex in its teens and stand be
fore the modern day court of art without fear or
favor. The middle and the past middle-aged
women of New York have heard the verdict. You
are beautiful!
Victor D. Brenner, sculptor, who knows the
soft and pleasing lines of figure as well as he
knows the face, is to the fore as the most out
spoken and uncompromising indorser of this new
viewpoint in art. “All women are to be ad
mired,”- he put it generally, and declares that
femininity in every condition of servitude and
age has points for artistic admiration.
The poetic has its place in Sculptor Brenner’s
reasoning as much as the hard and fast rules
for physical perfection. He personifies the time
worn adage: “Beauty is only skin deep.” Be
neath the flesh, beneath the -waifs of muscle and
the frame of bone goes Sculptor Brenner for his
: ldeals. Mentality, morality and warmth of heart
are all; his prescribed ingrediences for the moat
beautiful woman.
“Beauty all depends upon the viewpoint of the
individual sculptor,” declares Mr. Brenndr. “He
lis influenced by the nature of his subject, by the
■task he has before him. If beauty of childhood
iis his theme, then his whole heart and soul are
I wrapped in the infinite lines of tenderness and
delight to be found in early youth.
■ “If the sculptor seeks the poetry of sprlng
itime, he perchance requisitions beauty of an age
from eighteen to twenty. He none the less appre
। elates thia bloom of early life and it can’t help
:but draw forth bls admiration.
“From twenty-five to thirty I might classify as
another type of beauty; a beauty that Is begin
ning to bloom in all its radiance, fully developed

and taking on the richness of a valley flower
before the touch of withering heat.
“From thirty-five to forty takes us to a period
where the average human unschooled in more
than a superficial appreciation of beauty might
remark that voluptuousness was giving way to
the ravages of age. I have found many, many
beautiful between the ages of thirty-five and forty
—positively handsome.
“This brings us to the half-century mark,
where woman has all the strength of character
imparted by a lifetime of observation. Here en
ters personal magnetism, a factor which fig
ures largely in the determination of beauty. If
face, form and temperament harmonize, she is
placed in the category of the lovely.
“I have seen women fifty years old who I con
sidered exceedingly handsome.”
Edwin Blashfield, mural decorator, says:
“There are four types or ages of beauty—chil
dren, who are most handsome; youth, between
the ages of sixteen and nineteen; middle age,
ranging from twenty-five to thirty, and women
who are mounting the ladder of time toward the
half-century mark.
“I have seen many handsome women at forty
five and fifty. Sometimes wrinkles are exceed
ingly beautiful in women of that age. Persons
who use their brains a great deal in after life
generally are exceedingly attractive. Wrinkles
enhance this type.
“I have no particular choice of beauty as re
gards age. I use models from nineteen to thirty,
but by no means do I consider they are the em
bodiment of all that is beautiful.”
Harrison Fisher, illustrator, has his personal
tastes as regards the age of charming women.
“I prefer the beauty of a woman from sixteen to
twenty-eight,” he says. “Between those periods
of life I consider her the most charming because
she embodies all the spirit of youth, the innocence
of girlhood and lacks the veneer of worldliness
that comes to a woman later in life. But I am
not decrying the attractions of older women.
I have seen them at thirty and thirty-five and
even forty whom I consider more handsome than
girls. I^know women of fifty who I consider
embody all the elements of general beauty. They
may have lost|Some of the fairness of their girl
hood days, but’they have made up for it in physi
cal development, in mental sharpness and in the
strong characteristics of the face.
“There are so many good-looking women in
New York it’s hard to pick out any particular
beauty of any type or of any age. Women all
are to be admired.”
Irvin Wiles, eminent portrait painter, who has
daily opportunities to observe types of beauty, is
more lenient as to advanced age than either Mr.
Fisher, Mr. Brenner or Mr. Blashfield.
“I have seen women who were handsome at sev
enty,” he declared. A woman at thirty may be
far more handsome than one at fifteen or eight
een. They say age is no respecter of beauty,
but you may reverse it and remark that beauty is
no respecter of age. Much of the secret of
beauty depends upon the physical and mental
care a woman takes of herself. The portrait
painter does not look so much for beauty In his
subject as he does for the medium that permits

him to emphasize beauty. Os course the major
ity of our sitters want us to paint them as beauti
ful as is consistent with the laws of art. A
woman of thirty has developed. She has learned
the value of dress, how to attire herself in a
manner that enhances any physical charms she
may possess. Girlhood lacks the development of
more mature age. Therefore, a woman of thirty
may present a far more attractive appearance
than the girl in her 'teens or just past the twenty
mark.
“The woman beauty at fifty is less in evidence
than the handsome feminine in her ’teens or be
low the age of thirty. But I have seen handsome
women at fifty; women whose features, whose
personalities and whose physical development
struck me as being amazingly handsome.
“From my view I don’t think dress has much to
do with good looks. The true lover of beauty
gazes and can enthuse over cut of features and
tint of complexion without dwelling on clothes.
I consider a woman between the age of eighteen
and twenty to be in the bloom of youth. Natur
ally, youth* is attractive; it is like a rose in its
brilliancy beneath a light morning dew.”
UNMISTAKABLE EVIDENCE.
“Those seeds you sold me for flower seeds
were nothing but weed seeds.”
“Come up, have they?”
“Os course not; I only planted them day be
fore yesterday.”
“Then how do you know they are weed
seeds?”
“The neighbors’ chickens won’t dig them up.”
PLANNING AND PLANNING.
“I am planning a trip to the Panama canal.”
“That so? So is President Wilson.”
“But the trip he is planning Is altogether
different from the one I am planning.”
“That so?”
“Yes, he’s [going.”
WRITING THAT PAYS.
“What does this young fellow write? I won’t
have my daughter married to a starving a>v
thor.”
“Off the handle, as usual, dad. That young
chap wrote $400,000 worth of life Insurance last
years.” '
A FREQUENT HAPPENING.
“We don't do as we should. For one thing,
we are told to love our enemies.”
“A great many of us live up to that. Didn’t
you ever notice a couple of society leaders
kissing each other?”
