ENGLISH BEAUTY

FEMININE CHARM. The attractive and beautiful women of these days preserve their white skins, writes a London authority. The Hon. Mrs. Evelyn Fitzgerald is one of these. She has a lovely white skin and dark eyes and hair. Mrs. Fitzgerald is essentially feminine. In many ways she is the most successful woman I know. Her secret is simply feminine charm. She is not beautiful, but she is attractive. She is not witty, but she is an amusing companion. She has no talent, though she plays the piano pleasingly. She does not read much. She plays no games. She does not even play bridge.

Yet she is the centre of any gathering she attends. She is a refreshing change from the modern girl, with her loud voice, who brags and possesses so little femininity. Mrs. Fitzgerald makes you realise what women were like in Edwardian days. You made no effort with them. They were pleasing to look at and charming companions. Charm is an ill-used word, but at times it is hard to find one to take its place. Another woman who takes trouble not to get sunburnt is Lady Dalkeith, age thirty-one. She is a foreigner's idea of English beauty. She has fair hair and blue eyes. She loves to lie in the sun, but she takes care that its rays will not injure her skin. She looks a delicate plant, but she is not. She is hardy.

Lady Dalkeith is interested in girl guides. Her interest is practical. She works hard for the association.

Most years she goes to cainp with her company. She takes her share in the hard work and menial tasks.
