To recent discussion of the woman
and business question woman sent
this contribution Il am engaged in the
business of being beautiful in face,
form and dress | find that men pay
the highest wages to women in my
trade"
That sounds clever and seems plausi-
Bile. But will 1t bear examinations Do
the "highest wages go TO the women
who devote themselves exclusively to
being physically attractlyel
One does not need to think long of
the women Of his those
who have married well and those who
have MOTTO reach the conclusion that
those women WHO have had only physl-
cal attractlveness. only the ability to
please the eye, hive been, as a rule,
the reverse of successful. On the other
hand. neither is physical attractiveness
guarantee of success-that term IS
here used In Il purely material sense.
The secret of success lies, for women
no less than for men, in qualities that
lie below the surface, and very often
the development Of those qualities Is
prevented by devotion to the develop
ment of the surface advantages Phil-

The Somerset reporter., 1904-07-21

During u discussion on the power
possessed by beautiful woman the
conversation turned upon the frailty
of such beauty and the slight accident
that would serve to destroy the lowell
est features.
Thinking it over, 1t is perhaps as well
that beauty and brains are so rarely
combined for, considering the sway
either allows to Il woman, the cOmbina-
ton would certainly mean absolute
power TO the fortunate possessor.
But the women In question are some
what to blame for this themselves. Is
1t that Il beautiful woman does not
think 1t necessary to cultivate any
mental grace, imagining that beauty
while 1t lasts Is all sufficient Does
the brainy woman think 1t waste of
time to spend hours over her personal
appearance?
If women could only realize that
neither u pretty doll nor an unwOman-
~ woman Is In herself satisfying,
the world would be a different place.
1t is generally the fairly good looking,
fairly clever. but thoroughly womanly
little woman who Is most desirable IN
masculine estimation. But, aside from
the marriage standpoint, no woman
has a right to neglect her education
or yet to cultivate her mind to the
total exclusion or loss of all that Is
becoming to Ter sex.-Philadelphia

A Cnune of Nervonnness.

A prominent physician said recently
in my hearing The furnishing OF
American homes Is reflection Of
American nervousness, and, conversely,
American nervousness Is aggravated
by the furnishings of American
homes" The dullest human being, we
know, is affected TO some degree by
environment, and 1t is easy to conceive
that where there is not Il reeposeful
spot in a room 10 which one can turn
the eye there must be a constant
though perhaps unconscious strain up
on one in that room. The trouble is
our unconscious minds have so largely
the determining Of our health while
we foolishly imagine that only our con
scious impressions are of importance
TO our well being. II we were influence

Forty millions bottles of August

for it is still growing Isn't that fine
showing of success? Don't it prove
that August Flower has had unfailing
success in the cure of indigestion and
dyspepsia-the two greatest enemies of
health and happinessP Does it not ford
the best evidence that August Flower
is sure specific for all stomach and
intestinal dis rders?-that it has proved
itself the best of all liver regulators?
August Flower has matchless record
of over thirty-five years in curing the
