Frida on the Telephone
HELLO!!

Frida-I have been just by
Bertl's with Hubby and helped
him select some Xmas presents.
Hubby purchased all his jewelry
there. We were delighted with
the numbers of styles and reason
able prices. 1t is certainly
pleasure to do business there.
He is so attentive and anxious to
please his customers.
Ella-Listen, Frida, | know
this store. My father bought his
wedding ring there, but how is it
that Bertl never puts prices in
his ads?
Frida-He does not believe
in it, because he says that you
can put the price in the paper,
but you cannot show the quality
and style in the paper. He takes
the most care in his show win
dows, in which he has $4,000
worth of goods exhibited, and
each piece plainly marked with
the lowest price. By selecting
your presents out of the window
you avoid the confusion at the
sales counters and also save
time.
Ella-That's really a good idea
of Bertl's, because it is not
pleasure TO select goods at the
crowded counters. | will be there
and select my presents in time.
Goodbye.

Two Beauty Secrets
for Summer Months

Hair requires frequent shampooing in
summer because of the great amount of
dust and SCOT in the air, and IL you dis
solve a teaspoonful Of canthrox in a cup
of hot water you will have ample mix
ture for a cleansing, invigorating and
wonderfully satisfying shampoo. After
using canthrox. the hair dries quickly
and evenly, and will be ever so soft and
brilliant even in the hottest weather.
Then you can do your hair UP in any
style with little effort.
A spurmax lotion is ideal for hot
weather, because 1t permits the pores to
do their work properly, and when this Is
done pimples. blackheads. oiliness and
fine lines vanish. To make, add tea
spoonfuls glycerine to " pint witch hazel
Tor hot water, then put in ounces spur
max. After he spurmax lotion is ap-
piled to the face II is invisible and i'm
parts youthful charm and tint to any

HOBBLE-SKIRTE GIRLS NOTTHE
ONLY TARGET FOR "MASHERS'

whom he referred by not noticing them
when they did dress so as to attract their
attention.
Did II ever occur to this minister or
this woman that these girls would not
attire themselves so IL the men were not
SO ready to look at them?
There are two ways to look at all OF
these questions. Don't emphasize one
and entirely overlook the other.
. Unfair to Women.
II is the same way with every wrong
doing between the sexes-excuse Is made
for the man and all blame and punish
ment Is put upon the woman. 1t Is
not right: 1t is not charitable: 1t Is not
Christian-Iike; II Is not following the
ideas Of God who is all justice. He does
not expect any more of one sex than he
does of the other. One sex Is just as
world as the other. and believe that one
will have to answer to God Just the
same as the other.
The two sexes are alike-for every
weak man there Is a weak woman. for
every strong man there Is q strong
woman. for every talkative or gossip
ping woman there is a similar man. for
every jealous, spiteful woman there is a
jealous. petty man; for every capable
a business woman: for every clever man
there IL an equally clever woman: for
every selfish man there Is a selfish fe-
male, for every unselfsh. seh-denying
woman there is such man. There is
no trait that can be attributed alone to
either sex. A person who really thinks
about II will see that this Is true, and
it must become more generally realized
Suggests n Remedy.
Let this one-sided criticism cease. In
stead. let mothers and fathers dor faith
ers are just as responsible and as neces-
sary in the rearing Of children OF both
sexes as the mothers are), ministers
every one, in fact. bend their efforts to
have all young men trained up to the
same principles: demand that they lead
as clean lives. and treat them the same
as We do our girls II they are immoral.
and they will find that girls will cease
TO dress immodestly: divorces will be
fewer. and many existing evils will be
abolished. I firmly believe that the day
will come when the standards for both
sexes will be the same. or else. I could
not believe in the Justice Of God.

is the pleasure or the pride Of pos
session?
Perhaps it would he well not to hear
the stories OF men and women when II
happens that there is a strong tinge of
dishonor in their business dealings, for
one cannot forget them. But while spec
ulating upon their measure of enjoyment
from ill-gotten gains. the very contrast
brings to mind other men and women
who lived and died. leaving their fami-
lies and friends nothing but the memory
CT an honorable, straightforward life.
And then, more than ever. the question
comes back:
Why will folk sometimes pay such a
heavy price for money?
