day. We hear about youth and beauty and dimples and swiss dresses and blue sashes, with summer men and summer moons, but the cold gray truth is that the girls are sitting back in the corner wondering how it is that the Married Women are such Cleopatras of charm, while they (the girls) fan themselves vigorously and pretend that they don't care who the men dance with or to whom they say their silly platitudes."
 But they do just the same.
 To this end I've been trying to get some light on the subject.
 A popular Society Man in answer to my question said:
 The average man goes to summer resort to have good time-not to get engaged to be married. Heavens! No! The summer resort he looks upon as a social bargain counter, where the. mat rimonial goods are displayed by schem- ing Ma Mas Every girl who goes to one of these places has some sort of a dream about coming home-engaged. If a fellow makes love to one of them in the evening, she takes him in dead earnest, and comes to the breakfast table next morning with it all on her sentimental eyelids, long after the mood has passed him by. Well, the Married " OIldH IS Qllle1eIt Iou Cdil loNe to her in the evening and she will for get 1t before--well--be before she goes to bed at night That's the explanation"
 I said to another man:
 You can't go until you have told me why it is all you men trail after Middle Aged Married Women and neglect the girls at summer resorts.'
 He looked thoughtful.

Separate House of Parlia,
 ment

English suffragettes now are clamoring for a separate house of parliament that shall consist solely of women. They wish to elect their own members of parlia- ment specifically affecting women. They argue that, inasmuch as men have had the privilege of the ballot for centuries, and have controlled legislation, 1t is time for women to have a say. They assert they believe in "home rule all around" The suffragettes are going around Eng land urging the innovation.

And You"

No costly house cor retinue Of servants and valets, Just open air and skies or blue And happy, peaceful days,
 And you. No large estate or revenue, No lordly men or pomp. Just all the world a golden hue, And room enough to romp.
 And you. No wealth, no fame, no friendship, too, No honor, and no praise. Just open air and skies of blue. And happy, peaceful days
 And you.

From the Washington Post. veteran, praising Gen. Leon A. Matile of Washington, said:
 tile was a quick judge of men. IT remember. just before the battle of Atlanta, a visitor presented his son to him. The son was gawky, over- grown slouch of lad, but the father, proud like, said to Matile
 "'Well, what do you think of my boy?'

Speaking Proverbs

You know a summer resort by It's hotels" said an ethnologist on the beach at Coney Island. and you know a country by it's proverbs. Take, for example. Russia.
 Russia Is the most corrupt country in the world. It is impossible to ob- tain justice in Russia. And how clear ly the Russian proverbs show this!
 "'Offer to heaven a prayer, but to the judge a purse,' one wise Moscow saw says.
 "'rhe stronger is always in the right Is another pregnant proverb of Min Novrgorod.
 "'What are laws to me if I know the judge?' is a Petersburg proverb that tells you all you want to know about the Russian courts, eh?"

 Just at this juncture I chanced upon my friend, The Major-a man full of years and wisdom
 "In the old days was the situation like this?" I asked.
 He smiled and admitted that he was afraid that it was.
 "Don't you recall the lines of Kip lng?" he asked, about the young girl who was at military post and was be- wailing her lack of attention and waXed indignant upon certain married ladys popularity? She cites the incl dent that when the elder lady goes out to drive her carriage is always sur rounded by nice young men: "sThey walk beside her 'rickshaw

 None ever walk by mine, But that's becauseT I'm seventeen,
 And she Is forty-pins.'
 "But kipling follows it up by at last giving Miss Seventeen her revenge, says The Major. when that young lady remarks casually:
 " One ray of priceless hope I see
 Before my footsteps shine, Just think, that she'll be Eighty--One
 When I-am-FortyN Nine'

To Develop the Bust

To Beauty Editor-I am so ashamed of my
thin bust that L want to ask you If there is
any harmless way TO develop 1t, My hips and
the rest of my body are right for the present
styles and l do not want them any larger, but
my bust is 80 fiat that 1 would try anything
that gave hope of even three or four more
inches development. MARY S.
The only thing / know of that will develop
the bust without Increasing the size of the
hips, or without putting on flesh where not
needed, is a prescription put up by the Dr.
Kelly Co. especially for mail and unde-
veloped breasts. 1t is the discovery of a
woman physician whose practise was largely
among her own sex and in most cases In
creases the bust measure four TO six inches in
q month. Send 10c to the DR.. Kelly Co, Dept.
400 j. A., Buffalo, N. Y. and they Will send
you a trial package of the treatment without
charge, This is said to be of great value In
cases of arrested development of the bust and
will give a full, beautiful form without anyone
knowing that the treatment was used.
Many mothers have told me that after the
baby had been weaned the breasts became
habby and shrunken, but the use OF Dr.
Kelly's prescription made them full and Arm.
Do not use pads or bust forms, as they never
look natural and have a bad effect upon the
general health. Neither would ] recommend
ordinary hesh builders or tonics, as they In
crease the hips and limbs and with the pres
ent styles the form should be slender every
where except a generously developed bust.

To Remove Scar.

Dear Miss Doom;
I had a boil on my cheek a couple of
months ago. 1t Is healed up now, but
has left a red mark. Can you tell me
how to remove this? Thanking you in adj
vance for your kindness, / ain, II. a. X.
The red mark viii probably disap-
pear of it's own accord, but ten
minutes ~massaging with a good cold
cream every night and morning will
hasten its departure. Here are a
couple of remedies that are recon-
mended TO tighten or remove scars;
() Anoint the scar every night with
an ointment composed of foTty-eight
grains of boric acid and an INT of
lanoline. (2) Massage the scar every
night with a mixture of n ounce of
zinc ointment and fifteen drops of ar
bolic acid. You will have to ask your
druggist to prepare the latter remedy,
as he will probably not sell you pure
oarbolic acid.
MRS. X. S.-If you have no lease the
new landlord can raise the rent when
ever he desires. If o have a lease he
must abide by it until its expiration.
DTSCOURAGED.-As a rule moving
picture concerns employ experienced
actors and actresses to pose for the
pictures, and some of then have
regular stock companies for this pur-
pose. Motion acting is difficult, and
cannot be properly done by amateurs.

The wearing of the bridal veil Is a
pretty custom and that can only
be followed once in a lifetime. There
fore when, as in your case, 1t Is a
choice between q wreath and a veil my
advice is choose the veil. Not only
will you friends, the family and the
bridegroom enjoy seeing you in this
bridal costume, but the picture win be
you will like to recall In after
years. Your gown will probably be a
thing of the past within a year, but
the veil will be n of your cherished
keepsakes. Happiness to you, October

TRANSPARENT ScARFS.


Even the long NANTES which one
sees at fashionable places in the after
Moons and scarfs n capes thrown
round the shoulders with smart cos
tunes are made of transparent ma
~terials, very often of net, lace and
mousseline de sole.
The long, loose wrap so much in
vogue for evening wear is made of this
with satin bands covering all seams,
that give 1t sufficient body to keep it's
outline.
Such a wrap was worn recently over
a dress of white linen. heavily inlaid
with medallions and insertions of Irish
lace, The gown itself was of the
lingerie type. and the wrap enhanced
the flmy, lacy appearance to a
marked degree.
Pale blue satin was used so as to
give stability to the seams, and an ap-
piled hem of the same finished 1t
around the bottom.
HaIf-length sleeves were finished
with broad cuffs, which had as a trim
ming large buttons covered with Irish
crochet. Similar buttons of a larger
size were used to fasten the garment
In the front.
About the shoulders, for the evening
was cool, was thrown a scarf of pale
blue mousseline de sole lined with
white satin. Each long end terminated
with a blue silk tassel. N
With this was worn a broad white
lace hat trimmed with clusters of pale
blue forget-me-nots and a soft chou
of blue ribbon.
This costume was exceedingly smart
and quite appropriate for summer
afternoon and evening wear.

Girls, Start Training Early

T9HE business world holds great opportunities for the girl who strives for

A girl contemplating a business career, either from choice or necessity,
should face the problems fairly and squarely and then decide whether she
is willing and aMe to IA h price. A girl must make good" a well as a
