We have had the new art, the new woman, the new nationalism, the new freedom. And now at last Paris has discovered the new beauty and sent us a sample of it in the person of Mile. Polaire, whose Arctic name {s merely by way of alibi for the equatorial dance which she has brought with her, and with which the sober citizens of Trenton, N. J.— if there are any—will be entertained this evening. Three years when Polaire made her appearance in New York, she was billed as “the ugliest woman in the world.” Her face has not changed a particle since then, but a month or so ago the French paper) Excelsior discovered that there ar@ Just two kinds of beauty in the world —the old or classic variety and a! new type, the “beauty of character, | composed of originality rather than | harmony,” of which it declared Po- laire to be the supreme exemplar, Polaire herself, when interviewed by Excelsior, admitted that, far from considering herself the ugliest woman allve, she has never in her life beheld a woman with whom she would have been willing to exchange face, body. or Dersonality.
