IL refreshing to hnd one woman possessed
OF ala abundance Of weight rejoicing over
her good fortune Writing to the New York
World she insists that fat women are all
right. and as she admits Weighing 200
pounds, her word must be taken at par.
Furthermore she tells her slim, willowy
sisters that a majority OF successful men
want fat wives" Listen to her Joyous
song:
II have weighed 200 pounds since 1 was
a girl Of IS, and have had so much the
best of the girls knew who we're thin and
dreamy that there is no comparison to be
made.
In the first place, a fat girl has the best
OF the willowy creatures in showiness and
in temperament. Usually she has jolly
disposition, and that counts more with
mankind than looks.
81 do not think that they count for more
with Washers than the thin girl, but then
masher is seldom a provider.
THE man you can depend on a steady
mealticRet producer likes a good DISPOSE
ton, and II a man loves a woman In the
good old-fashioned way. he loves lot Of
her.
Some girls when they are fat get sensa-
tive about It and hate to go out because
they have heard some one make a sneering
or a foolish remark about their size. That
Il all a mistake. When was a girl IL any
one made q funny remark about my size
slapped their facb, and IL II was a boy too
big for me to whip l got some boy to
promise to do 1t for me, and they generally
did. That made them respect me, and out
In Kirwin, Kan, where l grew up they
treated me pretty near as nice as they did
any of the little doll faces that went In
my set
"They say fat woman has such an
awful appetite, but 1 have sat with long,
thin Bernhardt-shaped women who could
eat and drink more at a meal than l ever
ate In a week.
when you go into a gathering OF men
who have been successful and done things
and are living with the wife they really
love, you'll find that the majority of them
are fat, IL they are over thirty-ive, and
sometimes they get heavy under that.
That's because they are not worried as
to where the next months rent Is to come
from, and don't have to bother about where
the children are to get the clothes to go
TO school with.

her any worry. but just goes right ahead
doing the providing without any fuss, and
II she don't get fat she's not well.
Where women suffer with bad nerves,
that can't be so, but most any set Of nerves
can be made practical by the use of cold
water baths and a daily exercise at not
worrying.
~ am the mother Of eight children, and
eho 4braa oirla ara all going IN he fat and
I'm glad of it.
when my first husband was counting me
as a girl out in Kansas, there were two
Girls who had willowy waists and moon
light eyes who would have given their
souls to have had him. He was a fne
looking young fellow, and about the best
available catch in those parts. He was a
steady fellow and didn't know line OF
poetry He was the worst dancer ever
tried to waltz with, but he could drive a
team Of bronchos further than you wanted
to go.
''IIe never could sit still In the parloi
= while any one was playing sonatas and
rhapsodies on the organ. but he always had
q horse and runabout hitched around some
where that was easy to get at
when he married me the rest of tho
Girls all wondered how II happened
and one day when we had been having {
fuss said to him: Dick, why did you evel
marry mel? Then he made me feel fool
ish for being angry at him by replying
Wen, 10, I'll tell you'll When though
Of those other girls and thought of hav
ing bad luck any time, thought / woul'
see them crying because they would hav'
to eat bacon and beans, but you Away
seemed so natural and healthy that l al
ways figured that II we had any bad lucl
you would be so robust 1t would take 1
long time to starve you out
''Dick never had cause to regret hi
choice and IL he hadn't against my advice
taken the job Of sheriff down in Durango
and put himself In the way of being I
target for lot Of drunken law breakers
he would tell you 30 himself
ST am a champion OF fat women, becaus
/ have made a great success of 1t, and
have the word of lots Of others / know
that they are glad they're what they are
and so say to all complaining fat women
Cheer upr
