Automobiles, High Living, With This Money Mad Age Have Brought About a New Type of Woman, Says Carl E. Ackerman. New York, Aug. 14 From tall, slim girlish princes to big;-broad-beamed atima that is the tragic future in store for the American woman She js rapidly approaching the stage when the type will appeal chiefly to the man who Is apt to measure beauty by quantity rather than. quality. And if you don t believe it, go ask your pho- tographer. The American woman is certainly Josing her slenderness declared Carl E. Ackerman, editor of the Photogra- phic News, at the recent annual con- ered by the Photographers Associa- ciation.of America. Automobiles, high living and all things that 0 with this money-making age have Drought about a new type of Ameri- can woman, She depends on mas- seurs and anti-fat treatments, and when these fail to keep her slim she ke the photographer or artist to slice off a few pqunds of her unnec- essary flesh in her portrait. Not a Theory, But a Condition, Says Photo Expert Mr. Ackerman made it clear that he was not attempting to exploit an in- dividual theory for which he had no proof. 'commented on the growing pulence ofthe American woman, he ald, only after a careful examination of the exhibition of photographs gath- ared. by the Photographers Associa- tion. These represented women from all parts of the country. After sur- yeying them it was impossible to avoid the conclusion that the form- erly slight and graceful national flg- ure is rapidly -degenerating into the heavy, rotund harem type. Positively, I think the photograph- ers will soon be compelled to found a. new school of retouching in which the pupils will be taught to-siice off a few pounds in the portrait without making th sitter ridiculous. But how do you account -for all this? New York women at least, are continually trying new flesh-reducing. methods, Mr, Ackerman was told. What is the use of trying to take oft in half an hour a day the flesh you are engaged In putting on the other twenty-three and a half hours? he retorted.

Perhaps they join a gymnasium, or practice arm-and-leg motions in. the privacy of their apartments. Per- haps they lie idly on a couch and take a body massage two or three times week. Jt is seldom that more than thirty minutes daily is given up to any one of these methods of treatment. And the average woman fs apt to be Ir- regular and spssmodic in her attempts at reduction, Nor does she ever think of changing the routine of her daily life in deference to her treatment. No womander she finds the latter to be ineffective and refuses to continue it from any considerable period. Prevention fs always better than cure, and it is much easier for a wo- man to keep from growing stout than io remove flesh that has accumulat- ed. As Europeans have admiringly noted, the American woman-naturally tends toward slenderness. The clim- ate Is In favor of it. and fifty,-even twenty years ago no more beautiful figures are to be found anywhere than ratio maidens of this country. American Women Eat Too Much, Work Too Little. t fs the abnormal onditions of life surrounding the American wo- man of today which are responsible for her increased girth. In plain, blunt English, she-eats too much and works too. little. And so long as he oes these two things she will continue to put herself physically in a ciass pride of the harem. Go into any Broadway retatrant and watch the women eat, Gone are the days when a feminine appetite was considered vulgar, and no Indy, in company at least, did more than peck daintily at the viands set before her. -We-nave touched-the other ex- treme: A woman consumes meals which a strong mah might gaze at dubtously. Lunch, tea, dinner or sup- per it's all the same. There is a Rood deal of truth in that, but I should thing the modern ee Sosa toattttee Seeks Pair Teese etter teeter ae een EDC rb of Medicine Hat Poste ort How many women really go in for athletics? demanded Mr. Ackerman. A comparatively small number of the younger ones. How many of them keep it up after they marry? They are scores of women who don t walk the length of a block once a week. Whenever they-go out they step into their motor cars. Formerly upper Fifth avenue was a promenade for the members of the Four Hundred. Now the only women you see walking there are shopgirls.. Even the houses of the wealthy are fitted with elevators to save the exertion of walking up a flight of stairs, The on y way for haps they try rolling on- the floor.

They seem in no hurry to do this, he,added despondently. That there is.a feeling among many photographers. thatthe figure of the American woman has. less beautiful lines than formerly, was admitted by Dudley Toyt He himself is rather averse to being aligned among their critics,but he admits that many photographs have the effect of increased-size. 4 belleve that the present day etyles are largely responsible for any seem- ing departure of slimness, he says. The Empire gowns, for instance, call for large waists and a certain de- yelopment of the torso, Then women are no longer wearing the excessively long corset, which a few years, 2 0 forcibly compressed many figiire to narrow, tubelike dimensions, Accord- ing to despatches from Paris, the most. recent mode has been no: stays at.all, or only the shortest and slightest va riety. Naturally-the figure has fuller: effect, but it fs not necessarily less beautiful or graceful. 4 woman may look too large in a photograph or portrait when she is teally well formed, But in that case she has elther best posted toomear the camera, or so: placed that one looks down on her, rather than up. I think that the American woman still takes a charming photograph, if the per- spective and grouping be arranged properly. But though Mr. Hoyt was too yolite to say it, the fact that ich care must be taken to pose the American woman seems to show a natural de- fictency in the subject, GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL MEET- ING.

The hero of Eliror Glyn s. per fervid novel, Three Weeks, has een discovered by a New York newspaper woman. He'is of the blu- lest blood, according to his own story. He says he is Prince Paul de English name, Preston Arnott, as well. But he is known to most peo- ple by his nom de k ume, Paul Al- len. He declares he is a second cousin once removed of the Duke of lxorfolk, the relationship coming through his mother, who was Prin - cess Vianche de Clairmont. On his father s side he says he is related to the Arnott family of Indian-Irish fame, his father having served some time in the Indian navy, after which ie retired to his estate in Ireland, where he died. Princess Blanche de, Clairniont s antecedents were originally French. In her husband there ran a trace of Spanish ancestry. So Paul is of Russian-Inish.French. English-Spanish extraction. That comes pretty near being mongrel, does it not? And the prince (if prince he be) talks like one. He simperingly admitted that it was his disgraceful story that Mrs. Glyn peddled out to the world, and that he read the proof shee before the book was published. It's bully you know, to talk about one s self, he said. I really must ask you to say nothing about that tiger-skin business and other novel stuff. Mrs. Glyn and I have been friends for a long time charming woman and very taleuted, you know. I also am well acquainted with Marie Corelli.

Then she knew us cawn t give away all the secrets of the book and well, hang it all, I that the woman he pretends to have lov- ed so passionately was murdered by , as narrated in bat the wife of king, but the spouse of a crown prince. The place where the romance took place is correctly narrated, as well as the tragic fate which the noble woman met. Jt is impossible to find out who they were. Of course, you know, there are many tragic happenings in court circles, and in some countries some that are never known. People disappear and are never heard of, and things like that. Remember, be- tcatse theworkd-does- ot hear them it docs not mean that things to not occur. Quite to even thin become known. Rather difficult and serious. I should say, to dare even mention some things that one knows to be true. This is how he tells of their first meeting : : It was about 7 o'clock on a very delightful evening when the princess and myself first saw oneanother.
