will Tess up to this, but nevertheless it is
ss true and indisputable a fact as the
GOOD old-time statement that God made
little apples
slender woman-alas, dear, privileged
friends call them skinny-would sell the
shoes off their feet to be plump and round
for once, to know the joy and happiness
If a low-cut evening gown Plump girls,
that Is overplump girls, are ever willing
10 make any sacrifice In the way of CEN
turv runs or the cutting down of bonbon
raHons in order to do away with few
eInerfuous pounds of flesh. Women with
freckles march woefully through life with
their special adherence posted, .signhke,
on their dear little noses. The girl bereft
of long silky, flowing locks" as the
poets pipe, buys hair restoratives by the
dozen bottles Sometimes she succeeds in
making the shaggy, uneven hair grow soft
and abundant, but more times she be-
means her sad fate and the loss of
whole months allowance of pin money.
Bad compilations cause more heartaches
than crushed ambitions or cases of sudden
poverty. 1t was always thus, and thus it
always will be. Diogenes searched untir-
ingly for an honest man. Woman, bless
her dear. ambitious heart, seeks with I'M
abating energy the ways and means Of
becoming beautiful.
After all, they're not so hard to find.
Like the things rafting about In her un-
discovered pocket, they're right with her.
If she'll but stop a moment, sit down and
think, then grid on her armor and begin
the task-why, that's all that's needed
few harmless lotions and skin foods
easily made, and a heap of determination
and continuity of purpose are the tngre-
dents. Old Pepper" Time will attend to
the rest.
Try it and see!
Some one has wisely said that beauty is
but the fairer name for health. Howso-
ever true that may be, certain it is that
we can't have a wholesome beauty unless
we are strong of nerve and limb, with all
the physical organs doing their work
properly and WELL The blood, too. must
be IN a perfect condition of purity.
Rich foods, especially pastries, can bring
forth an array of facial eruptions that Is
positively maddening to the poor victim.
Ice cream soda, too, deranges the stom-
ach and creates all sorts of disagreeable
disturbances. Hot bread and rolls, indug-
ed in to an appalling extent In southern
households, can do more real damage to
good, fair skin than all the winds ana
wintry blasts that ever shook chimneys
or swept friskily around the corners Of the
Masonic Temple.
Overeating not only brings indigestion
and creepy, spooky dreams, but invaria-
bly, makes the complexion coarse, high col
ored and overruddy Now that does not
mean that one should nibble at things
and not demolish good square meal,
as the older fashioned folk like to say.
Eating should be understood-rules laid
down and religiously carried out
Usually these hygienic dishes and health
foods comprise a complete list of your
especial table horrors. Most girls VINO
have tried them say So But just the same
there are dozens-yes, hundreds-of nutri-
tious viands that are decidedly more pal
atable and appetzing than the sweets and
indigestible doughty nothing that not only
make of you a physical wreck but make
YOU wish most heartily that the man who
invented mirrors had died of the measles
in infancy.
Haweis. in his "reminiscences, tells of an
extraordinary courtship In Union county,
Tennessee 81 was in the 'frog-pond' dis
trict of the county, when a young man
rode up in front of the cabin where l was
stopping and spoke to a girl who was dip
ping water from spring. Howdy, sal?
Howdy, Tom?' Come jump on the boss
an 60 ter Erwin with me- What fer?
Ter git married. But yo' hain't done cot
ed me yit 1 know 1 hant but I've been
too pestered with work I allus intended to
marry YER though But I hain't got no
clos demonstrated the girl. We'll, Wen
ride on yon side of Erwin to Sister Mays
In the cove, and I'll git yer a dress
Sholy, Tom?' 'Sholy, SAL What kin
of a dress?' Best thar is in loves sto'.'
Not another word was said. Sal dropped
the bucket and jumped upon the horse,
shouting to her mother, Nam, me an Tom
is goin ter git married at Erwin! Well
be by here in tina mornin'.' The mother
started as if to call her back, but the
horse was galloping down the lane, and she
went and carried off the bucket of water
without comment
An exchange contains these valuable
facts that are worth tacking into memory
and grating into practice:
Unless a woman washes or works for
living, she doesn't need three meals any
day of her life. 1t takes systematic work
TO consume that much fuel. Engineers are
too clever to fill the furnace with coal I'M
less there is a trip to make, an elevator
to run, or work to do.
If a woman is going to sit in rocking
chair all morning, read the paper, polish
her finger nails and boss her servants and
children, a roll and a cup of coffee will
amply sustain her system. 1t doesn't fol-
low that she must eat ham and eggs, fried
potatoes, hot biscuits and fruit just be-
cause her husband needs such a repast to
provide for her exquisite tastes. He has
work to do, points to make, battles to
light, money to earn. and, like the limited
express, steam must be kept up to the
winning mark.
IL wouldn't make so much difference
what lovely woman ate IL she waited long
enough between meals TO get hungry. but
she doesn't; and there's where the trouble
begins Nature is a tenacious old jade.
GIVEN the time she will digest and assimi-
late almost anything that the stomach can
retain.
with the money the average American
girl spends for ice cream, soda water and
candy and the cost of the meat she con-
SuInes at breakfast and lunch, she could
earn language, take a musical course
OF make foreign trip that would broad
eIl ana amuse her. Women eat great deal
