This is the ninth of a series of articles by Queen Marie of Rumania written exclusively for The Star and the North American News- paper Alliance.

The series marks the first time that a reigning member of royalty has written under his or her own sig- nature for a mewspaper. BY QUEEN MARIE OF RUMANIA. 7 BEAUTY IN WOMEN? Tremendous most as big as love. Divine gift of the gods, which, in the fairy godmother lays cradle as a special gift: “Thou shalt have beauty.” The names of beautiful women have remained in history, even after centurfes, with such glamour that it rings like a wonaderful tune in our ears. We want to hear it often. We want to know all about them. We can never delve deeply enough into their lives. Poets never tire singing of them. Historians ever agail want to conjure them up before us. Paint ers love to ponder their features, their expressions, to make them live again. Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Phryne, Dido, Venus, Dante's Beatrice, Mary Stuart, Lucretia Borgia, Lady Ham- {lton and more modern names, of artists especially—Mary Anderson, Mrs. Langtry, vour Liillan Russell, your Mary Garden, Ethel Barrymore, Mary Pickford—all faces that rise before us when we say the word— “beauty.” And when we pronounce these names, the thought comes instinctive- word—al- ly, was it a blessing or a curse to be | so exceedingly lovely? Beauty and virtue do not always go together—I may even say seldom go together. The great beauty is also born a great lure, a great temptation. All eyes turn toward her, hands stretch out as though to touch,, to grasp, to hold her. Beauty opens every door, nearly every heart. The beautiful queen, the beautiful actress or singer, the beautiful pleader. the beautiful gypsy Birl, the beautiful waif. Directly one stands arrested, one wants to hear more, to see her better, to know all about her. Queen or waif, it 13 quite immaterial; it is the beauty that cap- tures the attention, fires imaginacion, awakes desire—beauty. Can Beauty Be Classed? Each sees in beauty a vision of graceful limbs, exquisite features, glorious eyes, magnificent hair—red, black, brown or golden: one sees lovely lips sweetly smiling or proud- ly full of disdain, one sees perfect noses—aquiline, Grecian, snub or even Sometimes turned up. Can one class beauty? speaks of classic beauty, “fatal” beauty, angelic beauty, the dark beauty, the golden-haired beauty dear to every legend, she whose locks are like a river of light. Like all poets and writers I, too, love to let my pen run loose when on the subject of beauty. When I begina story I can make my heroine as beau- tiful as it pleases me, and have at that moment & feeling of creation, a feeling One often CAR STORED IN GARAGE 14in AND Sawton sts. by C.

But to come back to my subject: Can one class beayty? In what ex- actly does it reside? Is it necessarily perfection of feature? Can it only belong to youth? Have dress, bear- ing, expression anything to do with it? Can it, to a certain degree, be achieved? Somehow there seem several an- swers to each one of these questions. There is certainly a beauty that is undeniable, that imposes itself with- out discussion—the beauty no one can deny, the ‘'woman who is beautiful from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet, who has beautiful features and coloring, a perfect body, perfect bearing. The Venus woman, in fact. “ But she is so rare that I feel like standing in the Louvre, the British Museum, the Pittl Palace, the Met- ropolitan Museum of Art or the Cor- coran Gallery in Washington, and turning to more possible types which we need not class amongst the seven wonders of the world, and which ap- pear on our horizon but once in a blue moon. Types Always Changing. Undeniably the conception of beau- ty’ changes with the times, almost with the fashion. At this period of our existence, we have no use for the Rubens type of woman, over- flowing with an exaggeration of— shall we call it—charms? She cer- tainly in no way could be squashed into " our. skimpy, sleeveless, short little frocks of today. We would run away from her. Neither would she be able to hunt, play golf, tennis, hockey, base ball, nor could she jazz or fox-trot. We could not even invite Venus to that sort of entertainment. She had bet- ter stick to her pedestal whence she can pityingly look down upon our degeneration, feeling that she and the Rubens lady are etern: and g Matchless Home Value Delightfully situated amid several large estates just north of Chevy Chase, this new, Dutch Colonial home, with its two acres of landscaped grounds, is a remarkable buy at $15,500 Very Goed Terms Center-hall plan, three delightful bedrooms, two complete baths, hardwood floors_throughout, exqui- site electric fixtures, hot- water heat, two-car ga- rage and 400-foot frontage on two main boulevards.

I confess that I find it almost quite Dle to separate beauty from Somehow beauty without charm seems a small thing or rather to lose three-quarters of its value, to become lifeless. Why do some faces fascinate you so that you cannot keep your eyes off them? Suddenly some e out of a crowd will strike you as remarkable. You will look and look in. You| feel an overwhelming d e 10 know | that person, man or woman. Yet it was not beauty, it was charm. It[ was almost stronger than beauty, subtler, more illusive but just as pow erful. More so, perhaps.

Now this was not Jjealousy, because my face has been admired In its time suffi- to exclude any feeling of v or competition. But these beauties I am speaking of could never forget that they were beautiful. nefther were we to forget it. They sat in certain attitudes, show- ed themselves in profile or full face, according to which they considered most becoming. They hardly dared laugn because it disturbed their fea- tures. Every wave of hair, every pleat of dress, every little strap or buckle was studled and wanting in naturalness. They could not take part in general conversation because it was beneath them to be classed with any other woman in the room. They felt they were creatures apart, rare treasures to be considered and appreciated as such. They wore thelr beauty as an uncomfortable garment, hindering every movement, until one felt tempt- ed to ask them to take it off because it made one feel ill at ease, as it did themselves.

Thousands Killed By Gases in Tokio, Investigators Say Correspondence of the Associated Press. TOKIO, May 12.—The deaths of 33,000 persons at the army clothing depot in the quake-fire of 1923 were caused by poison gas, according to a report of the great selsmic visitation now in the hands of the Selsmic Dis- aster Prevention Commission. The commission consists of 40 well known sclentists and experts and includes | Prof. A. Imamura of the Tokio Im- perial University and Dr. Tarozaemon Nakamura, formerly of the Central Meteorlogical Observatory. _The report is an aggregation of papers by these investigators, covering 1,500 quarto pages. The commission is of the opinion that a great many of the earthquake victims, who were be- lieved to have been burned to death, in reality were killed by carbon mon- oxide gas and escaped the horror of Dbeing roasted alive. The gas, it was explained, is generated at a heat of 0_degrees. was treated at Georgetown Univer- sity Hospital A collision between the automobile of John H.
