WORRYING WOMAN
AL WAYS HAS TROUBLE
She Worries About Her Hair.
Complexion and Everything
That Occurs to Her

If there should be a Don't Worry"
club in fact, instead of in. fancy, 1t
would be an excellent thing for women.
They seem born to worry as the sparks
| fly upward. although there is a great
deal OF difference in temperament in
this matter. But commend one to the
real worrying woman for discovering
trouble. Not content with the amount
which comes TO us ALL she reaches out
for things anticipated and wonders IL
this won't happen, and that won't hap
pen. To mention half the things the
worrying woman can conjure up to
make trouble for herself, would make
list column long. 1t never does any
good to worry, and makes everyone in
the vicinity miserable, but the worry
ing woman forms the habit of borrow
ing trouble and she worries wrinkles
into her forehead and herself into the
grave.
If she has children. she worries about
them, and if she has none she will
worry about other peoples. She wor-
ries about her complexion, her hair
and her weight. 1t is not often that
worrying woman has a chance TO
worry over too much flesh, as worry
keeps one thin. . -o...-s--
Now the worries connected with a
woman's hair are too numerous to
mention. If it is very straight she
Will wish with all her might that ii
Is curly, but ten to one, the woman
with naturally curly hair will worry
because ii is not straight One can
worry. too, about the way one arranges
the hair; You probably have a friend
who does her hair just exactly the way
you would like to, but by some strange
freak of fate your hair will not fall
into the position you so much admire.
Then the worries about the COM
plexion are fatal to peace If you are
fond of high color you are sure to be
pale, and vice versa. If a Woman's
skin is red and rough, it is a real sor-
row, and freckles that won't come off
are tragedy A turnup nose is a liv-
ing trouble, and other blemishes are
distressing beyond words. So il a wom-
an has these things, and disposition in
clined to worry, life is far from being
one grand. sweet song.
LII she has husband, she can worry
a little about him, unless he is abso-
lutely steady and uninteresting, and
tnen she VIII probably worry because
she can't put her finger on ANYTHING
TO worry about. Then she wonders how
her children are going to turn out. and
that will give her enough worries to
keep her going long time. She will
bring up her sons hoping for the best
and expecting the worst. Her daugh-
ters viii give her food for thought. If
tAey marry there are the husbands TO
worry about; and if they do not worry
tnat is far worse worry. The unhap-
pest married woman on earth always
wants her daughters to marry.
Next to the worrying woman. the ah-
solutely placid one who never wor-
RES about anything is the most trying
10 i've with. She Sounds-when Won
taIk ABOUT her-very restful and sooth-
ing, but when you really meet her. her
cowIike placidity gets on your nerves
more than does the worrying woman
VINO borrows trouble even when there
isn't any in sight. She might cover
her eyes moment if told that her
whole family had died suddenly. but
worry in the ordinary meaning of the
term, is unknown to her. She lives a
poVlne existence and wonders every
DAY what makes people SO enthusiastic
worry about the ordinary affairs of
lie Is unknown to her. .-.
so between the Scylla of continual
worry and the Charybdis of unemo-
journalism there is a happy mean reach
cd by most women which results in a
norman amount of worry, and an intel
ligent outlook upon life that will allow
one 10 realize the compensatfons and
endure the ills that come to ALI WORRY
Is a foolish waste of time. but IL one is
disposed to 1t and fofms the habit n is
dlmcult to overcome it.
