The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-09-12

No thread of white in the auburn
hair,
No line of age in the forehead fair,
A life unmarried by touch of care,
In spite of her forty summers
A husband lover and children sweet,
Pleasures to charm and friends to
greet,
Roses scattered before her feet
Through each of her forty summers.
Summers ALL for winters bold
Have snatched her sunshine and
made her cold,
Have killed her roses and left her old.
Nothing she knows but summers.
So calm she sits in the balmy ali,
No sorrows to fret, no cares to bear,
A summer idyl, vision fair,
This woman of forty summers.
Yet cold and blast but make us
strong,
After the snow, the robins song,
To the fullest life by right belong
The winters as well as the sum
mers.
And they whom fame shall carve in
stone,
The woman whom man would fam
enthrone,
The woman whom God has stamped
His own,
Live winters as well as summers.

Is it an advantage to be beautiful?
We imagine there will be little
doubt in the answer that would be
made by the average woman,
Women know that the world has
always bowed the knee to beauty-at
any rate, temporarily-an individu-
ally, the woman who has perfection
of feature and form has apparently
the best of life's handicap.

Are the most beautiful women the
happiest? The question should give
those who coyet beauty cause for
second thought. On the whole the
handsome woman has better chance
of marrying WELL as the phrase
goes, than the plain woman, but if
we go behind the marriage and ascer-
tain whether happiness has resulted,
we fear the record would hardly be
favorable.
Byron wrote of the fatal gift of
beauty" and is there not a sad truth
in the phrase?
The world has agreed to admire
