Exercise and Common Sense Is Miss Louise Dresser's Beauty Formula By MARGARET HIBBARD [ AYER.

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.

"When I was out West one time, the manager of the theater happened to catch me w hile I was tossing the medi cine bull about the stage, which I did every morning for at least an hour. "'Why do you do that?' he asked. “ ‘So's not to get rusty.' I answ ered, Up-to-Date Jokes i —— It was in a narrow street of a large town, and a carter had done the dam age in turning his wagon round. The shop-keeper (insurfed, no doubt» dis played this notice: "The result of-backing horses." Merchant (to clerk) —This won't do. Every time y ou see jt "6" you call it a "2." What Is the matter with you— near-sighted? Clerk —No, sir; it's a matter of habit. I used to work in a ladies' shoe shop "My time." said the multi-billion aire. "is worth s2i) a minute.” "Well." answered the friend, casu ally, "let's go out this afternoon and play two or three thousand dollars worth of golf." "So you were bound and gagged by bandits while in Italy, were you?" ask ed a sarcastic man of a friend who had traveled. "Regular comic opera ban dits. eh?" "No." said the other: "there was nothing of the comic opera style about them. The gags they used were all new." Authoress (of the budding variety)— I got level with that editor last night.

"I should think some of these speech makers would get tired of hearing themselves," said the proprietor of the village store. "Human nature's the same in politics as tis anywhere else." replied old Joe Struthers. "A man don't mind listenin' to the worst noise a cornet can make provided he's the feller that's doin’ the practicin'.” “1 wouldn't drink out of that cup," said little Willie to the well dressed young visitor; "that's Lizzie's cup. and she's very particular who drinks out of it." "Ah,” said the young man. as he drained the cup dry.' "I feel honored to drink out of Lizzie’s cup. Lizzie is your youngest sister, isn't she?” “Not much. Lizzie is my dog.” Their boat was drifting idly, the sun shone above, soothing the soul, and the sea was serene, while she—she was sitting snugly not on the same side of the ship. Then he proposed. From the opposite side of the craft she gazed at him calmly. Then she spake: "As a matter of common sense, real izing that we are in this boat, on water which is more than 50 feet deep, and that if you were to act as you snould act if 1 accepted you. we would be cap sized. I will decane your proposal at the moment; but. George, row as fast as you can tv the shotu, and a«k me laughingly, 'and then it keeps me in good condition, and I avoid even the fear of ever getting fat.’ “ 'Why don't , you tell our women about that?' said the manager. 'lnvite them in. and 1 will,’ I answered, and the tipshot of it was that I gave a lec ture every morning to the women of that town, taught them how to throw the medicine ball, how* to wake up nat urally and physically, and the danger of stagnating or slumping. Why They Grow Old. "Women stop exercising, not because they grow old; they grow' old because they stop exercising; because they lose interest in keeping young, in keeping their circlulation in good condition, and are unwilling to make an effort. "The medicine ball is a wonderful tonic; after you've tossed and caught it a few times, you get a different out look on life, and you are sure to fee'i energetic and interested in everything. "1 recommend it to all women who have 'slumped.' Put me down as say ing, 'Don't stagnate,' that is the first rule for the beauty seeker." Miss Dresser had finished making up. and was slipping into the pretty gray frock which is the one she wears for her opening song.

(Advt.j 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!
