Miss Elliott's Beauty Talk,
Maxine Elliott is soon to be a sojourner among us. Hence a beauty talk is not inapropos. Of course, it is generally known that the actress is besieged almost constantly by women admirers, who beg advice on the secrets of beauty. Miss Elliott is generally accredited with being the most beautiful woman on the American stage. But Miss Elliott herself avers that she has no license to give advice as to how to become beautiful.
To one feminine correspondent who had been most persistent in seeking beauty advice from Miss Elliott, the actress suggested to her unhappy admirer that she let well enough alone.
"That is what I do," added Miss Elliott. One admirer took it for granted that physical culture had been the means whereby Miss Elliott has attained her symmetrical curves and beautiful complexion and begged facts regarding her system. Miss Elliott's secretary had to answer this letter, and the seeker for the fountain of beauty received the following communication from the actress' representative:
"Miss Elliott has no system: has never had a system. Like Topsy, she just 'growed' that way."-Chicago Inter Ocean.
