FRECKI.ES CAUSE OF SUICIDE.


A southern girl killed herself the
other day because she heard some
one making fun of her freckles.
Poor, foolish little thing.
I'd rather be as freckled as a tur'
keys egg and have good heart ana
a little common sense than TO pe
perfect beauty without feeling or IN
telligence
No, I'm not trying to be morais1'
I'm trying to talk plain. common
sense; l never saw beauty in my
life who was really happy. did you:
Just count them up on your mig
ers, the real, raving beauties you
know, and see how many OF them
YOU would change places with If you
had chance.
Wouldn't it be hateful to know thar
people liked you not for what you
We're but for what you looked IKE:
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 uniucky 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 it seems to be almost impcs-
sible for a beauty to keep her hus-
band in love with her.
There is a very good reason for
this. The sort OF a 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 while.
Beauty lovers are a class apart.
Just as musicians and actors and
painters are. They are cursed with
the artistic temperament, and woe %
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 l do hope
she want turn out to be beauty.
Beauty costs too much to be good
investment
Now, if 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 a 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 "che".
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 a 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

his wedding trip. his bride being an
American young woman.
'She was greatly interested in the
outside workings of the mines and
wanted to inspect the underground
operations. There is an old supersti-

"The superintendent was aware Of

on the strength OF it he tried to 10
