go Mid that Internationally famous
beauty authority, Mine. Helena Ru-
btiuteln of London, Paris, and New
York, before the American Cosmeti-
cian* Society here.
‘The rtny when women's live* cen-
tered Moldy about their external
charms.” declared Mine HublnsUlu,
“the days of feminine tnutlUtlaa are
of the dead past. Fashionable anae-
mia, fainting spells, and an ethereal
type of languishing beauty have
pawed Into oblllvlon.
“Much more Is expected of the
modem enchantress. She must be
self-reliant — swim chanueta — fly
oceans compete In tennis matches
■ dleromse learnedly on art, drama,
end lit r.iture—delve Into science,
not as n precocious amateur but as u
Mvaut Yet she must never for a
moment cease to be adorably sud ba-
wltchlngly winsome.
“Standards have changed The
day of the dumbly beautiful Is over.
But woe to the woman who attempts
to sacrifice sheer beauty on the altar
of a career. Fortunately, the world
of modem femininity cannot be ac-
cused of such short-sighted folly
On the contrary, a chic type of
brainy beauty, vastly more Intriguing
than the vacuous enchantress of the
past, prevails today.
“Clone with theas brainless Circes
of yesterday are prolonged milk
oaths, fantastic youth potion*, and
witches' charms. In this modern
world, a five minute dally ritual with
scientific olds creates such beauty
as the much-romantlclsed sirens of
the sixteenth and seventeenth cen-
turies would have given fortunes to
powesa."

need now for activity, little necessity
for hunting er fleeing. Hunger Is

dread and the joy of unmarried Irish
youths and maidens in Valencia, Ire-
land, weatermoat point of Kurotie.
The list, the Kansu* City Star In-
forms us, is nothing more than a suc-
cession of names of such young men
and women, but It la supposed to
bring them a wife or a husband with-
in a year If their inline lx upon It.
The Skelllga list la the aurvivul of
an ancient custom founded on the
Skelllga rocks, two huge rocks, H.V)
feet high, which protrude from the
ocean 14 miles from the coast When
young men and women, so ran the
legend, refused to marry, they were
taken to the rocks and left there for
a week. At the end of the week they
were forced to marry other obstinate
young ellgtblea.
The great Skellig rock was once the
site of a religious foundation dedi-
cated to the ai change), St. Michael,
’llie remains of the cells and chapel
of the monastery are still well pre-
served. They are mostly of conical
sha|>e, and are built of uncontented
