Show WOMAN MOST BEAUTIFUL I X)N HER WAY TO WORK MISS JOSEPHINE CONROY. mm?, -. ivAvifttetf By MARG-AKET HUBBARD AYER. "What is woman's hour of beauty?" "And what type of feminine beauty is the most perfect?" You will never guess the answer that two distinguished "business women wade lo these questions. AE1S3 Minnie Ashmead, to whose aerial o'fico most of the pretty girls eventually eventu-ally drift either in person or in picture form, declares that the loveliest specimens speci-mens of feminino beauty are to be found in tho business world, unions the girls Tvho oarn their own livelihood, and to show that she was not theorizing, theoriz-ing, Aliss Ashmead pulled out ti quantity of photographs of girls who look like duchesses, or queens, or romantic heroines, hero-ines, each of whom drew n Saturday pay envelopo with businesslike regularity, regular-ity, and several of whom help to support sup-port their families. "Tho hour of boauty is the early niorning crush ia tho subway," said Mrs. Nora Kieler. who goes to her downtown office on those crowded D o'clock expresses. "You can see more beautiful girls in tho early morning subway trains than you over, sec at the opera or at tho fbig gathorings where the public is graciously allowed to cazo upon tho rich and mighty of the land. "I often see faces of such perfect boauty among tho 3'oung stenographers, bookkeepers and dorks, hurrying to their offices, that jt seems extraordinary extraordi-nary to mo that tho modern Prince Charming doesn't get up betimes to look for his Cinderella. "T could givo him a hint or two. Cinderella is to be found in tho subway, sub-way, or hanging lo a strap in the surface sur-face car, or swinging unsteadily on the jerking elevated. "No, alio doesn't got a scat because of hor beauty. The older men aro engrossed en-grossed in their newspapers, and tho youuger ones tako tho oarii' morning beauty moro or loss for granted. "No ono seems to realize that tho real 'beauty of our country is not found among tho classes who can command all tho luxuries in the world, but. rather among tho uuddlo class, amTJng the girls of odticatiou who at an early aire are forced to contribute to the family sup port. "Those girls are undor twenty, Thev aro generally about cightoeu years old, and I should place the hour of beauty at that ago for the business girl, for. uii fortunately, tho beautiful frehnoss or hor complexion, the lustrous gleam ot hor oyes, is apt to fado in the bad air in which sho generally haa to work, and fatigue is more harmful to boauty than any other condition of mind and body. "For that reason these same girls who started out early in tho morning looking bright and beautiful aro apt to toe seen swinging to tho samo straps in i tho evening, already pale, with rings undor thoir eyes and drooping from fatigue, tlTo fatigue that Boon settles upon thorn like a pall and extinguishes tho radiance of thoir youthful perfection. perfec-tion. "Thoro is somothing in tho faco of Ihoso very young girls that is inspiring inspir-ing to look at. It is not only tho perfect per-fect beauty of the coloring and feature, but thero is a lovely courage, a resolute spirit aud a sonso of responsibility which ono doesn't: seo in the faces of girls moro blessed with thin world's riches. "I agroo with Miss Ashmeud that tho 7rottlest girl6 in America aro those who aro working for their living; oithor in shops or ofiiccs. and their hour of beauty is tho early morning march to work'.' " J.t would repay any artist to gof up early (1 boliovo artist's aro prono to lie in bed Into) nml seo the real beauty parado which goes to I ho shops and offices laughing and chattering gaily. "Tho very young 'business girl is generally gen-erally beautifully unconscious of her good" looks, because Fhe is not arrayed in fine feathers. However, her modest and Bimplo clothing sets off her boauty, which is halt that of the child and half the woman's, as no expensive rostumo ever does. The girls who aro seen on Fifth avenue or m tho shopping con-tors con-tors later in tho day aro gonernlly overdressed, over-dressed, and thev would havo great difficulty in competing with the little working'artny that preceded thorn before be-fore those name shops wcro open. "People think that the girls on tho stage aro tho most beautiful of. all. That is beeauso thev sec these girls in all their war paint, dressed in tho most gorgeous costumes with the latest things in hats, wigs and eyelashes. "The real test of beauty would be to stand a so-called stago celebrity, renowned re-nowned for her looks, in a subway car, dross her simply, fiko tho ordinary business busi-ness girl, and havo this tost tako place in tho morning. If any 'ono looked at her twice amid tho young girls who fill tho car, she would havo reason to bo proud of her .looks, but I don't think any ono would, for few stage beauties can compote with, tho young girls who go to work botweon half past scvou and nino in tho morning." Both Miss Ashmoad and Mrs. Kieler awaTdod tho palm of beauty, after much deliberation, to Miss Josephine Conroy, a young and vory 'beautiful business girl, whoso pretty face looks at you from this page.
