And having so interrogated, you will find that the
invariable answer Is 'Yes" There are lots of in-
stances where beauty Is invariably beaten to the job
when frecles may defy the massage parlor grade Of

Even in history and folklore this thing has OBJ

Where Beauty Loses.

These, however. poor instances Where is the
army Oh the plain and the unvarnished of whom the
registry agents have spoken? Why do they "beat
beauty to it, and who seek them out in all their I'M

The stenogrnpher of of the busiest managers of

least partial answer to these queries She Is saIow

windows OF the others soul. She's got streakv nec,
and stringy figure. She has bony knuckles. She
goes In where she should so out and out where She
should so In.
But she has held her job for good many years
at an ever increasing salary
Her employer regards her the apple of his eve
You couldn't loosen his hold Of her with CLASH knife
For long time his attitude was n mystery to his

he proceeded to EXPLAIN
