JUST ONE MINUTE, SISTERS!
To begin with, no one Is really
without charms. Nature is very i'm
partial, and to the girl who is plain
featured always gives a mental charm
or a charm of manner which she her
self does not see in her mirror, but
which is keenly felt and appreciated
by her companions.
The plain girl cannot see how her
face lights up in conversation. She
has an especial charm-the charm of
unconsciousness.
Dress yourself all the more i'm
maculately If you think yourself to
be plain-looking. | Take extra care
to exercise, bathe often, breathe deep
ly and eat slowly.
Never mind about your features;
keep your thoughts sweet and unsel-
fish. Good-natured helpfuness has
won more hearts than pretty features
ever did. Pretty faces without men

mind only and seldom affect the
heart. The pretty girl is often too
busy being pretty to be unselfish. 1t

the plain girl for wife, while her
pretty sister waits a SPELL" The
so-called plain girl is the charmer
OF charmers in the eyes of the right
man. Re sure you wait for him and
'live happy ever after."-Helen Vail
Wallace, in the New York World.

ly fresh; whereas man after dane
ing for ten minutes has rumpled hair
and wilted cellar. Nevertheless,
the girls who 'came out" in society
early in the season are beginning to
look wan and weary. 1t is rattling
pace for sweet eighteen or twenty.
and they cannot stop until the gong
sounds. Certain young men who are
deep in the social game will work
all day, then dance until a. m.
and yet not look half as tired as any
of the buds. One of these men con-
fided to friend recently that he had
found a way to "catch up In sleep.
When the day of a dance comes he
leaves his office at 4 p. M. hurries
