We speak rather glibly of, blondeand brunette types, but thereis actually no type, except for tho trivet' detail of the color of the More retearkable is the -fact' that,. while Nature Is a:copyist in the crea- tion of man, every women is original. Not only have living women no doubles but we find that the glorious women of the past ere never copied. If, for any reason, we wish to•repro- duoo-to life some beauty or heroine of a bygone day, we cannot hope to Iliad her Irving double; modern woman must make up for the part. How dif eeent with man! When a "Sir Era -nets Drake" was required, some time ago there were twenty seven very near living likenesses avail- able, says an Ilinglish writer. Nearly ratty men were found last .year w.ho looked like past Iord Mayore of Lon- don. Beatrice and Boadicea. Five men have played ,the part of King Alfred In recent years in various pageants because they 'bore a natural resemblance to -the man who was such e good lying and such a bad baker. All we can visualize of the immortal Beatrice, beloved of Dante, is conveyed in , the very familiar and famous plc. lure, but'she bas no double. This was proved when it was desired to Include Beatrice In a great Pageant of Beauty, There were hundreds of applicants for the role from lovely' and graceful wo- men who could claim a place in any gallery of beauty, but not one was found to be like Beatrice. A few years ago the whole of Eng- land vas appealed to, to produce a woman who ,could take the part of Boadicea. .As she was to drive a chariot through the streets in broad daylight it was important that she should be the -double of the famous queen, and not dependent on make-up. Photographs poured in on the or- ganizers, i 6 s but without revealing eveali a dou- ble.r ASPi ants'to the honor even wrote r r te f onhart of the Empire P s m ra over - P seas. Still the knotty problem was ; unsolved. After11 a the o or a nizer of organizers the pageant had tbe g o content with it the artof make-up, for the woman who qualified did so on the grounds of sta- ture alone. Was Queen Elizabeth a beauty? Opinions are divided. At any rate, ehe has had no double. ' A 'Vain Quest. „0 Modern women Can wear the Im- perial " robes and • loop queenly; but clothes do not melee the woman: Over thirty were selected from stores of applications last summer from Eng- lish women who imagined they were doubles''ut Queen Bess. Yet when the selected candidates appeared in person, it was found that the camera had de- ceived. As far as we know,the queen tempera without a lair copy. Therefore, we can sympathize with the plight of the great French artist who in his despair offered five thous- and francs for a woman like Helen of Troy who would sit as his model, and a thousand 'francs for whomsoever should sled her, The vain quest extended over many months. It was no more sirccessfbl than the quest of Joan of Arc. Their financial luthteement was even more munidCeat Reports of possibles .were received from Anherlca, France, and England, but the double of the Maid of Orleans has not yet been found. It is therefore reasonable to assume that ori two women have been made alike, whereas men frequently are. it is only when there has been sears very marked personal Characteristic in a great loan that any difficulty has arisen In finding his double. . Even. then the task is not bopeless. Producers of pageants and plays say that the Duke of Wellington is one of the moat difficult parts they are even caked upon to fill, and yet there are at least !three men in England who can take it without making up. There is no great or beautiful woman in history of whom this can be said. So woman is indeed a creature of infinite variety. When Nature makes a woman she breaks the mould. There are no types anti no doubles. High or low, deli oe poor, every wolne i is dif- ferent. ;And yet, ai ithal, the familiar French saying may he justly applied to women- "Tete mote they change the `. more they remain the same," What Mother Used, "Draly, a shot -buttoner," said the teaehel "'Pkat is shaped like an inter- iOga.tion point," The boy tor,k the crayon and-d,re�w a haripin. . "What's that tiling?" asked the teacher, "Wliy," replied the boy 0that's'the Only shoe-bllttetier• I ever saw." Condltlon of the World "Is the, world roundeer asked the teacher 'No m,' "rt isn't,?
