BEAUTY BAN|SHES
 B0NNY BETHANITE TOO PRETTY TO TEACH
LIKE HELEN OF OLD, IN MIDST OF BATTLE WITH DEFEAT
 AT HER HEELS.

ty because she was too pretty and the trustees agreed her beauty was likely to prove a hindrance in her work.
 Five young men, students at Beth any were expelled at the same time; probably because they protested against beauty being banished from their college course.
 The staid old community of Beth any is all stirred up over the question of whether the flow of knowledge into youthful craniums can be impedded by good looks and a charming person ality. There are those who say 1t can't, and there are those who say it can. The leans" happen to be in pow CT, so beauty must take her trunk and seek elsewhere to shine.
 The five youths expelled from the college, probably for no other reason than that they took up the cause of the attractive young physical instruc- tor, will have to thumb their text books in other places of learning or go without.
 "The trustees would give me no reason at first for the dismissal ex- cept that 1 was too beautiful to re- main in the same zone with susceptible young students indignantly declares the Helen of today. Like that other Helen, whose beauty brought about the Trojan war, she finds herself in the midst of a battle, with defeat stalking at her heels and brave band of loyal "co-eds" augmented by the entire student body masculine decry- ing the "old fogy' methods of the powers that be.
 There are always plenty of war riors to come to the rescue of the worlds Helens.. Perhaps, after all, the statement made by Bethany Col lege trustees regarding the part beauty plays in business of profes- sionalism is not altogether wrong. While they may not have used the best of diplomacy in acquainting the young teacher with her lack of quail fications for the position, there is more than suspicion that the ex- ceedingly good looking girl does not find her way to success paved with rose petals.
 Here was the case of a fascinating ri r1 ctrollipo to tho poctofoa with ono of the young men of the college, and after o'clock in the evening, too. The rules and regulations of the institu- : tion positively forbid any such frivoli- ties. That the girl was a member of the faculty held no especial weight. If she had carried out the cartoonist's be the chances are that the o'clock stroll would have been entirely over looked. A sharp nose with wide rim med spectacles, tightly drawn hair, sallow complexion and a voice cast in high C sharp will never play havoc with the football squad. But a pretty 1 SIlI IS-NCll, oilC 10 PISlly SlIl whether she takes orders or gives them.
 See the prettiest girl behind the counter draw the men customers to her, just as if she carried a couple of magnets concealed about her person. Watch the queen of the glove counter nIcoVxyo ch holI- h,r hand with the ghost of pressure, and watch him buy dozen pairs in place of one. These are some of the pre- negatives of beauty.
 But how about the jealous floor walker, who entertains a growing re- gard for the blond queen and views her coquetry as so many personal af- fronts to his own frock-coated pulch- ritude.
 Her shining hour of sun is spoiled by the clouds of an anger that has it's root in selfishness and it's foundation on the rock of authority. The pretty girl has more trouble lodging the slings and arrows of outraged love than the plain girl has getting up a speaking acquaintance with Cupid.
 When the son of the big "boss" drifts into dads" office and discovers a full-blown "peach" masquerading as a stenographer, he considers it a part of the privilege of allied authority to turn her pretty head with invitations. He places standing order with the florist around the corner, and his friends begin to miss him from his one time hauntS.
