HEART TO HEART TALKS
By EDWIN A. NYE Copyright 1909, By American Press Association

love both parents dearly. Pain comes early to their childish hearts.
 These children know something s wrong. but they are too young to com prehend what it all means. When their playmates say, My papa tor mammal is in heaven,' what can the poor divorce orphans say?
 There is little Alice Astor.
 She is the baby daughter of Coldnel and Mrs. John Jacob Astor, recently divorced. The decree gives the father possession of the son and the mother of Alice.
 Alice will have beautiful clothes and all the luxuries, but can any new papa ever take the place of her real papa?
 Is it not really sadder to know that one's father or mother is living and not to know where than to lose that loved one by death or to know where the parent lives and be denied companionship?
 Poor little lads and laSsiesi
 There are asylums built for the orphans left helpless by death. Shall there be asylums built for the more unfortunate? Poor divorce orphans!
 Their fate Is both pathetically sad and irremediably hopeless.
 ,To a Plain Girl.
 Do not be concerned because of your lack of good looks.
 If you should worry about anything in connection with yourself let it be because of your lack of goodness or of patience or of a sweetness in disposition.
 Outside appearances count?
 Certainly, in a way. A man adnnires . pretty face or figure as he admfres q pretty picture, but it does not follow that he will marry a pretty face for itself any more than he would marry pretty pie ture.
 Men want substantial rather than orAa- mental qualities in wife.
 Look about you.
 Note how many husbands have selected wives with plain features. These men were looking for soul qualities-the last ing qualities-of womanhood.
 Beauty Is rare.
 And it may cover multitude Of fail- ings. The handsome woman may have great poverty of spirit, a scornful dis position or a cold heart. sShe may lack the essence of real charm and fail to give promise of happy comradeship in mar riage.
 Men know this
 Rare exceptions aside, you may de- pend upon 1t that the man who fails in love with pretty woman loves her for something more than her beauty.
 Admiration is not love.
 Mere fascination does not last.
 If you are loved by true man-and no other is worth while-it is because of the things that abide-true womanliness, nobleness of mind, helpfulness of spirit, tenderness. sympathy.
 That is what men want.
 Never mind about your plainness. Some good man will come to know you for your true self, and if he finds in you sweet ness of soul beauty of spirit, he will idealize those plain features of yours into thing of beauty which shall be joy forever.
 Yes. men like beauty.
 But they care more for charm of soul, congenial ways. The girl who Is good and winsome has great advantage over the mere beauty who may be vain or friv- olous or cold and selfish.
 Make yourself attractive, but
 Above all things cultivate sweet spirit. Show appreciation of others. Be gracious. And some day your lover will seek and win you and find prize. The Big Apples on Top. The other dsy . man came to my

 Divorce Orphans.
