THAT IS BEAUTY?

WHAT

Not mere prettiness, say Britain's railwaymen, who, as you know, are "ruled" by a new Railway Queen each year, a queen whose duty it is to represent them at charity and other functions, to tour the country-or sometimes other countries—and to make specches.

Rollway Queen for 1937 was chosen recently-o these principles :--

Photographs should reveal

Beauty of feature. Intelligence. Personality.

Attractiveness.

Three photographs of the daughters of three ordinary railwaymen tay on the desk of the curator's room at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.

One of the photographs was of fifteen-year-old Ireng House, Langdon-street. Mary Easton, of Crowland King's Lynn.

"This one, I think," said Mr. Frank Lambert, the curator, as, after much deliberation, he finally picked up Irene's photograph.

BEAUTY NOT ENOUGH

Alderinan H. A. Cole, also judging the photographs, Britain's Railway Irene had been chosen to Queen for 1937.

If Steve had taken his mother's advice when he was a boy he would never have became a jock- ey. She thought the life danger-
