Dull statistic wero revealed today as the newest , champion, ot Ameri can women, proving among other things that feminine ' beauty Is ono commodity on the American market that has escaped the evils of mass production. ' Mrs. Ruth D. Maurery nation ally prominent, as an authority on beauty, culture, has just made pub lic the' results of a survey which ahe conducted among beauty shops in every state of the Union and they proved that American women are smart enough to know that what may be decorative for one woman may be grotesque for an other. "We made a poll of beauty shops throughout tho United States,'' Mrs. -Maurer explained, "to t ascertain whether it is true as frequently charged that American women 'run to types' and lack individuality in makeup and personal adornment. We gathered figures from thousands of shops and discovered that the charge .is false. 'American women are no longer copying the beauty methods of the Tlorid Knglish or the flamboyant Latin beauties. They have come to realize that they must develop the, distinctive natural beauty re sources that they' possess them selves and the beauty shops re port their demand is for individ ualistic makeups by a score of al most five to one. . "The survey showed further that American women are becoming conscious of varying climatic con ditions with the result that cos metics which atfe popular In Min nesota have no appeal to the wo men of Florida, that creams suit able for a dry climate such as Arizona are scorned by the women of the Groat Lakes region. "Mass production may be all right in many lines of business, but it is all wrong in the beauty profession. Those who say Amer ican women make up according to a single model simply do not know the truth. They are slandering the Intelligence of the Womon of this country.1' Trans-Pavtflc Hops One hundred and sixtv years ago, me great explorer Captain cook Innded in Australia. He Haw some strange-looking animals hop ping across the landscape, and asked the natives what thev were, The natives answered, "Kan i ga roo," which meant "Wo do not understand you." So the fortrlcht Captain noted down tho name of the now animal as kangaroo, giv ing permanence to a ludicrous er ror. Science, even today, doesnot ciiiiiviy unuuiHiunn mm ireaK ani mal, which carries its young In its pouch. American fashion seems to havo a better understanding of it, for it conducts an active and growing business In supplying the demand for shoes of kangaroo leather. OT every one is fortunate enough to get away from home all summer. Those of us who stay on In town find one of the perplexing problems of the summer ts to dress comfortably. Probably that ls one good rea son why bo many women have taken ufi eotton so earnestly this year when such a great variety of attractive summer fabrics are available for smartly tailored cos tumes.
