Going to World~s Beauty Contest as California~s Representative. Los Angeles, Cal., July 12.-[SpeclaI.J-That feminine beauty is neither a matter of cosmetics nor athletics is the opInion of ::\11'8. Walter Pomeroy of this city, who has been chosen to represent the state of Cal lfor'nta in the world's beauty contest to be held next September In Bruss",ls, Belgium. ••III my opimon," says Mrs, Pomeroy. "the most beautiful woman Is not the one who may have the most perfect features or the rarest coloring. Even physical beauty ultlma.tely dopenda upon beautiful splrituai thoughts. Many women attach too much importance to phys'ica.l beauty. Beauty is that which pleases the esthetiC sense, and we love a beautiful woman as we love a flower. But, after an, It is neither beauty nor money that brings happiness. If I am beautiful It is merely the result of circumstances. I grew in a beautiful garden and was !protected and cared for. Since I can remember I have been surrounded by beauty and the devo- tion of those who cared for me." Another theorv of Mrs, Pomeroy Is tha.t the dissipation of the modern woma~ has a tendency to destroy -beau'ty. "The drinking of Itquora coarsens the skIn and finally ruins the lovellness- of femininity," Insists Mrs. Pomeroy, who was reared In a temperance household. Mrs. Pomeroy's home is at 942 Menlo avenue. Though she is now only 26 yearS old. she has been married nine years. Col. "Jimmie'" McAlester Seeks Cruce's Job in Oklahoma. $10,000 GOLD BRICK VICTIM:.

Going to World~s Beauty Contestas California~s Representative.

Los Angeles, Cal., July 12.-[SpeclaI.J-That feminine beauty is neither a matterof cosmetics nor athletics is the opInion of ::\11'8. Walter Pomeroy of this city, whohas been chosen to represent the state of Cal lfor'nta in the world's beauty contestto be held next September In Bruss",ls, Belgium.

••III my opimon," says Mrs, Pomeroy. "the most beautiful woman Is not theone who may have the most perfect features or the rarest coloring. Even physicalbeauty ultlma.tely dopenda upon beautiful splrituai thoughts. Many women attachtoo much importance to phy s'ica.l beauty. Beauty is that which pleases the esthetiCsense, and we love a beautiful woman as we love a flower. But, after an, It isneither beauty nor money that brings happiness. If I am beautiful It is merelythe result of circumstances. I grew in a beautiful garden and was !protected andcared for. Since I can remember I have been surrounded by beauty and the devo-tion of those who cared for me."

Another theorv of Mrs, Pomeroy Is tha.t the dissipation of the modern woma~has a tendency to destroy -beau'ty. "The drinking of Itquora coarsens the skIn andfinally ruins the lovellness- of femininity," Insists Mrs. Pomeroy, who was reared Ina temperance household.

Mrs. Pomeroy's home is at 942 Menlo avenue. Though she is now only 26 yearSold. she has been married nine years.
