stays beautiful despite her hard work
on the stage.
Miss Dresst: was making up when I
went behind to her dressing room to
ask lie) what she did besides throwing
the medicine ball to 'etain her health
and goo 1 looks.
Everybody know:- that Miss Dresser
looks like a younger sister of Miss Lil
lian Russell: that she has in her face
the same amiable, gnicious quality,
which makes peyiple say. "I like her;
she's so sweet.”
Does Nothing' Weird.
I watt lied Miss Dresser slowly change
herself from the natural beauty who
had come in without ant paint and
powder on her face through the process
of ' making up" into that perfection of
artffleiality which makes her look abso
lutely natural, despite the glare of the
footlights when she is on the- stag**.
"You know, I dot)* do any of those
weird things that are supposed to keep
you beautiful, and that people insist al!
actresses must do, in order to preserve
what, looks they’ve got." said Miss
Dresser, looking at me candidly, while
she paused in the act of beading her'
eyelashes, which means putting big
lumps of black paint on them.
"As a matter of fact, the actress who
wants to look well gets back to common
sense and first plnciples in healthful
living. Nobody takes milk baths any
more, or washes their hair in cham
pagne: those were beautiful stories in
vented by the genius of the press agent.
The sad part of it was that when wom
en read in the papers that a famous
beauty did anything extraordinary’ like
that why, the most conservative of
them believed it absolutely, and went
and did likewise, and the results were
mos.t unfortunate.
"Champagne and milk baths were
relatively harmless People have sug
gested all kinds of impossible things in
beauty culture for me to do. 1 am ex
pected to pour the strongest kinds of
acids over myself if I get a freckle or
take to skin bleaches at the first sign of
sunburn. But what is the use of any of
those things? I simply say. 'Wait until
the sunburns and the freckles fade,' as
they always do in the course of time.
"1 believe in the very simplest toilet
preparations just those that are abso
lutely necessary and nothing more.
Most people believe that beauty is skill
deep, but you know that that Is quite
wrong Beauty Is a matter of health
and lemyierament. 1 want to keep well,
and 1 try to keep happy
"Really,’’ concluded Miss Dresser, as
she made a perfect Cupid's bow over
her lips with red paint, “really keeping
amiable and lighthearted is half of the
battle.”
The Medicine Ball.
"But what about the medicine ball?”
■‘till that," said Miss Dresser. "I got
it to keep me from stagnating, as so
many people do around the stage. There
are hours at a time when there is noth
ing to do. and especially if you are on
the road In a town where you have no
friends or acquaintances there is no
way of killing time, and too much time
is bad for anyone, isn't it?
"People who stagnate mentally or
physically can't expect to be good look
ing or even to retain what looks na
ture endowed them with originally.
Thousands of women all over the world
art stagnating, and m&uy of them are.

Interested and Interesting
By Beatrice Fairfax
I ONCE knew a girl who was so good
it was generally agreed by her
family and acquaintances that no
girl could be better.
But she hadn't a friend. The reason:
She was neither interested nor inter
esting.
When her associates attempted to
talk to her they soon found that the
conversation was all on their side. She
responded with a “Yes” or "No" so ab
rupt as to be barely civil, and they
soon tired of throwing the conversa
tional ball to het, and then running
after it, that they might throw it again.
She never tossed it back. Her “Yes”
and -'No" conveyed more unfriendli
ness. less interest, more apathy, less
humanity than any other words in the
English language. A dog expressed
more of interest in a friendly bark
than she expressed in return for the
attempts of others to be kind to her.
And “Yes” and "No,” as the whole
of a response, are the height of rude
ness. I wonder if the most ardent ad
vocates of brevity of speech know that.
1 attempted to be friendly withtthei e
girl. “She surely is interested in some
thing." I argued, "and I will find what
it is.”
My attempts were in,vain, though I
spoke of her work, as Monographer in
a wholesale house: I talked to her of
her music, and of her home, and of
the little bits of fancy work she occa
sional)- indulged in. and every attempt
met with a "Yes" or "No,” delivered in
away that made me feel as if I had
been slapped.
Discouraged, but determined not to
give up, I spoke to her of books—old
books and new —and found the situa
tion, more difficult than ever. For she
never read, she told me in a sentence of
just three words: “I never read."
Some months after this futile at
tempt to be friendly I received a letter
from her to this effect:
•'You have been nice to me. AVill you
tell me why it is I have no friends? I
am a faithful employee, but my em
ployers and my associates in the office
don't like me. I am a good daughter;
I never find fault with others; I never
criticise: I never gossip, yet I haven't
a friend.”
And I wrote in reply:
"You ay be a good employee, but it
is in the same manner ys a machine.
You may be a good daughter, If good
ness consists in paying your board,
finding no fault with the affairs of your
home, and making no more attempt to
be interesting to your family, or inter
ested in them, than if you talked dif
ferent languages.
"I am sure you never criticise others,
and never gossip. But there is a nega
tive goodness fully as appalling as ac
tive wickedness. For neither do you
praise nor commend!
“No one loves a clam in the raw
state. You are a clam of that kind.
"You do not treat others as if they
were human beings. You make no more
effort to be interested in those around
ybu than if they had no existence.
“You are too self-centered to be in
terested, too selfish to make the at
tempt to be interesting.
"You are not shy. You may claim it,
but you are not. You are selfish, and
I ask you to look at the word stripped
of every excuse with which you would
seek to hide its identity!
"You must give out. or you can't take
in. You must give of yourself to others

Cottolene can be heated to

being greasy. For this reason,
