For men make this world a very
pleasant place for pretty women even
for those who do not take undue liber-
ties with the decalogue. Most women
with beauty marry young and are quite
content to let some one else fight the
battle Of life for them. If they make a

point is stunted and warped they are
plain, and man has not made their desert
blossom like the rose. The world is all
wrong TO them, and they would make
