t'RECkLES CAUSE OF SUICIDE.
A southern girl killed herself the
other day because she heard some
one making fun of her freckles
Poor, foolish little thingl
I'd rather be as freckled as tur-
keys egg and have good heart and
q little common sense than to be a
perfect beauty without feeling or In
telligence.
No, I'm not trying to be moralist,
I'm trying to talk plain, common
sense; i never saw a beauty in my
life who was really happy, did you?
Just count them up on your ing
egss the real, raving beauties you
know, and see how many of them
you would change places with If you
had a chance.
Wouldn't it be hateful to know that
people liked you not for what you
were but for what you looked like?
A woman who is admired for her
beautiful hair must feel like con-
victed thief when that hair begins to
lose its color and gloss.
The most unlucky women in love
affairs the world has ever known
have been the beautiful woman. Not
a single great beauty that you can
remember was ever happily married.
And 1t seems to be almost impos-
sible for a beauty to keep her hus-
band in love with her.
There is a very good reason for
this. The sort of man who falls in
love with a woman because she IS
pretty will keep his eye for beauty
as long as he lives, and the next
woman who happens to look prettier
to him than his wife will be apt to
win him-for a while.
Beauty lovers are a class apart,
just as musicians and actors and
painters are. They are cursed with
the artistic temperament, and woe be
to the woman whose happiness is held
in the hollow of the hand of slave
to beauty.
don't want my girl to grow up to
be SO ugly that people will gasp
when they look at her, but do hope
she want turn out to be a beauty.
Beauty costs too much to be good
investment
Now, II the poor little girl down in
Georgia who died the other day be-
cause people laughed at her freckles
had only waited while. freckles
might have come into fashion and
then she would have been the belle
of the county.
remember little girl who cried
herself asleep more than once be-
cause her hair was red and the boys
in her class at school called her 4cher-
ry top"
Now she's SO afraid that her hair
will turn dark and lose some of its
red that she spends half of her time
at hair-dresser's getting her au-
burn locks treated to keep them au-
burn. Fashions change, beauty
fades, good health will sometimes
droop, but good sense and a light
heart are the best companions for
life, after all-Winifred Black in the

ner at half after six o'clock on -.
An answer Is particularly desired.
Nobody waited for after Z o'clock"
On many invitations the time was OF
course stated and "a polite answer
requested" or sometimes "A reply
would oblige," but the letters "R. 8.
v. p" were hardly ever used at this
date, their first mention being in
1881, on the card of Lord and Lady
Kerry. Indeed till quite recently "An
answer will oblige," was the most
general formula, and 1t is only in the
last thirty years that the French form
has been at all generally adopted IL

HER SECRET.


We occasionally meet a woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom of youth We wonder how It
has come about-what her secret is.
Here are a few of the reasons
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She kept her nerves well in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends
She made whatever work came to
her congenial
She retained her illusions and did
not believe al the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discouraged
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age has
come to her and there is a halo OF
white hair about her head she is
loved and considered. That is the
secret of long life and happy one.

DON'T SHEER AT old MAIDS
Never sheer. girls, at an unhappy
~old maid" Once she was very
likely just as sweet and young and
nny-hearted as yourselves. But
she missed the road which may, per-
haps, lead you to a sweetheart and a
prospect of married happiness.
OF course, she was wrong to turn
sour.
To brood over things that cannot
be helped is weak-spirited. There
are many roses to be gathered in the
garden of life over and beyond the
romance belonging to men and maids.
Success and happiness can be won
by any girl of today, even if nobody
comes to WOO. But neither is likely
to come to the girl who. when love
fails her, sits down to weep and wall
over might-have-been marriage
