Beauty specialists have ' found shapely shoulders not orly Indications of facial beauty, but of ,ty : physical perfection.

His expression. "Don't carry a I , chip on your pretty shoulders" ex- j M r Bctly expresses his opinion of the now I way a beautiful woman should con- 9 duct herself so her actions will con-It con-It form to her physical charms. , Professor La Tour, in conversely converse-ly i u t tlon with a Paris correspondent, r; olef- M,: artf "A woman's beauty Is expressed a In the physical perfection of her ver shoulders. Without looking at tho face the shoulder will infallibly in- ,w dicate beauty or its lack. "If one were seated behind a otf '"ornnii at the theater and observed I j. that her shoulders were perfectly . U . filled out and artistic In contour, ho f ij might reasonably conclude her face 1 was beautiful, and 1 am convinced ot that in ninety-nine oases out of a i t! hundred his conclusion would bo gr1 correct. qili -But why should such a beautl- aiO' ful woman carry a chip on her D 0'' shoulder, is a thins I can not un- uch demand J I ' By carrying a chip on her of shoulder I ihnii that the woman y rt with beautiful shoulders, and cor.se- rfofi' quently with prettv face and perfect th1 form, too often docs not make her nle0 ; nature conform with her other at- nd ' tributes. fottt ' Many of thm have "harp ,jjst tongues, others are gossips Instead a 1 1 jxi of prett shoulders and splend'.d physique Indicating loveliness, the reverse Is the rule. "I advise that pretty women be beautiful In character as well ua physically. '"To house a valuable animal in a germ-Infested shed, to rear beauty in shocking surroundings, to throw pearls to swine these and other things compare to the woman who has beauty and who spoils it all by being peevish, snobbish, curt, abusive. abu-sive. "I, myself, have obeerved them In Paris and in other great cities. "With some of them it appeared the more beautiful they were the more unpleasant they became. Beauty Appears License for Snobbihiiess. "That Is what I mean by carrying carry-ing a chip on their shoulder. Many "women are that way. Their very beauty seems to be a license to them to be snobbish. "Wo have all noticed this. 'T have seen women of rare beauty who were in their uctlons the coldest creatures In tho world. They wore llko gems, to bo admired only. They were llko birds In a cafe their music to bo heard, their grace to he seen and admired, but their other qualities to bo Ignored " Many women of this kind are known In the social world. Tho fact that they nro beautiful seeme to be to them a license o ne unpleasant. un-pleasant. Many a young suitor hai approached them without caution, to be torn to pieces. As Kipling said, "tho female ot tho species Is more deadly than the male," but this particularly applies to women of beauty. Ordinarily girls arc on the nlcrt and appreciative of the slightest compliment from men. They wish to be appreciated, not so much for their beaut but because of their mental qualities and their ability as housewives. Tho girl with th pretty shoul- dors but an unpleasant nature haa to compete with a girl who is not beautiful, but has all the qualities of a. housewife. The one may become the bride of a millionaire, but her temper and tho chip on her shoulder are liable, to lead her to the divorce court, while the simpler maid probably prob-ably will find a homo for Life with an appreciative husband. Recently the pretty girl, the out with the chip on her shoulder, hug suffered from her own baneful activities ac-tivities Sh- wus a good companion compan-ion at' the ball she looked Splendid at the banquet and wus a queen of the boulevard.

He longed for the simple Plrl who trusted him and who Incidentally knew how to bake biscuits Just a bit bettor than his mother baked them. Also the pretty girl suffered by her curt manner while accompanying accompany-ing her sweetheart or her husband to an entertainment. Same old case of having a chip on her shoulder. Husbands and sweethearts Itg-re Itg-re it Is a mighty nice thing to promenade with the prettiest flrl in the Vicinity', but when she ha a disposition like cayenne pepper mixed with incgar, si Id swains demur de-mur and cast about them for tho girl who is not so handsome but who is at least agreeable. "It is a fact that pretty women have greater difficulty in obtaining obtain-ing husbands than thoso who are moderately good looking It Is becoming be-coming more and more the custom for men to marry women who are good housekeepers and not because of their beauty," says Prof. La Tour.

Aa in ail canning, however, the specialists have made clear that It Is essential that nothing but perfect per-fect eggs be canned (and that they be canned under such conditions of cleanliness and kept In such 0W temperatures that they have no chance to spoil. Under the new system of canning the eggs are canned In rooms and with ntcrtalls that rival In cleanliness cleanli-ness the appointments of the hospital hos-pital operatlmi room. Everything Is BterlUsed and those who actually break the ecs have to clean their handy, much as tho surgeon docs before operating.
