The World Laughs With You, But You
Weep Alone.
BY ABR1aA1L MOORE

The "jolly good fellow" is a typo
Of girl that staid old maiden aunts, IL
there are any nowadays, might no an.
prove. II the aunts are particularly
u~nprogresstve they might heartily dis
approve, but for all that she is a type
that has a wholesome lesson for those
OF us who are trying to be beautiful
Let me describe this girl:
In the first place, 1t. frequently hap
pens that she isn't beautiful, mol even
pretty. In at least six cases out OF
ten she Is q freckled lassie and has q
big mouth and her hair Is generally
Maynard, but her eyes always nance
and her face is always good-natured.
AS a matter of fact. beauty might even
hamper her so that she would not be
fulfilling her destiny Of being this
'"jolly good fellow" You cannot
laugh at her without laughing with
her, for her sense of humor is in
ordinate n she hasn't a pretty hair
on her head. You see. If she were
q beauty she would be conscious of
1T all h time and would have all sorts
with and they would warp her soul
and spoil her good nature, As It is,
she takes It for granted she will never
be hanged for her beauty. Conse-
quently h is free to admire unre.
STRANGELY the beauty Of others and
to recognize 1t readily in her friends.
That alone is suficient grounds for
her popularity.
Then she hasn't little. airs and
Igraces that are always 30 annoying. |
She doesn't expect fiattery, and she
passes up compliments, though she Is
human, and she is always honestly
and openly. pleased at real praise ana
appreciation, but she doesn't simper
1t the way beauties do.
She ts full of laughter from her !
heart. And because 1t is from her
heart 1t is infectious, and with that
laugh there is established between
you and her a good Fellowship sort Of
understanding. For there is nothing
o know. like q real laugh to clear
the air Of convention and make two
persons en- rapport with each other.
But there is n strange incongru-
ity about this type. of girl. II she il
always ready to laugh with you she
isl just az ready with her syInpathy.
You see, being 1unhampered, like most
pretty girls. she understands, and is
big and broad enough to let you see
that she does. While she. wouldn't
offer you q lot Of maudlin sentiment
tality. in q case Of trouble. there 10
no mistaking her sympathy. It's A
No. /.
II she has q grievance she dossn'tl

"INS1DIOUS" WOMAN LOBBYIST GETS
BILL THROUGH GEORGIA LEGISLATURE

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 25.-A bill giving
the mothers Of Georgia an equal
standing in court with fathers in the
awarding of the custody Of minor
children. has been signed by Governor
John NJ. Slaton and is now a statute
law Of the state.
This law was. passed very largely
through the indomitable zeal and per-
severance of Mrs. George Brown, wife
of DIR. George Brown, a we'll known
Atlanta specialist. who was himself a
member of the general assembly for
four years.
Although the bill was introduced
late in the session, and its chance Of
passage appeared very doubtful. Mrs.
Brown went to work animatedly, and
through her personal acquaintance
with the members of the house and
senate, coupled with her very logical
arguments in its behalf, it made rec
ord time in passing both houses.
The bill went through the senate IN
next to the last day Of the session. On
the following morning Mrs. Brown
visited the capitol and prevailed upon
the presiding officers and secretaries
of the house and senate to sign the
measure ahead Of all others. She
then took 1t to the governor herself
n stood beside his desk while he at
fixed his signature to 1t.
In recognition Of the fact that this
legislation was largely due to her un-
firing efforts. Governor Slaton pre-
scented Mrs. Brown with the pen with
which he signed the measure.
Through her connection with this
measure Mrs. Brown becomes the first
"insidious"' woman lobbyist in this
state. She haunted the corridors Of
the house and senate, never overlook
Ing an occasion to put in a word for
the bill, until she saw it receive over
whelming majorities in both houses.
The bill is designed to prevent q
recurrence Of the recent incident of
the Zachry children in Augusta and
South Carolina, when a babe in arms
was awarded to its father over the
protests Of It's mother because un-
der the Georgia law the presiding
Judge was allowed no discretion in

LITERARY LONDON TO-DAY.
(From "Crowds.'')

I could not but look about-how.
could I do otherwise than look about?
"a lonely American walking at last
past all these nobly haunted door
ways and windows-for your idealists
or interpreters. your men who bring
in the sea upon your streets and the
mountains on your roof-tops: who still
see the wide. still reaches Of the souls
Of men beyond the faint and tiny roar
of London.
I could not but look for your men Of
imagination. our poets: for the men
who build the dreams and shape the
destinies Of nations because they
mold their thoughts.
l do not like to say it. How shall
an American. coming to you out Of
his long, fiat literary desert. dare to
say it? Here. where Shakespeare
played nightly. and like a great boy
with the world; where Milton, Keats,
Wordsworth. Browning. Shelley. and
even Dickens flooded the lives and re.
freshed the hearts Of the people: here,
in these self-same streets. going past
the same old. gentle. smoky temples
where Charles Lamb walked and loved
a world. and laughed at a world, ano
even made One-lifted over his Lon
don forever int the hearts Of men.

Reddy Began to Walk Around the

Jimmy came a whole string of visitors
to the old briar patch. One would
hardly have left before another would
.appear. Each one tried to act as if
he had just happened around that
way and didn't want to. pass Peters
home without making a call, but each
one asked so many questions that
Peter knew that what had really
brought them there, was the desire
to find out what the news in the old
briar patch could be. But Peter was
too smart for them and they all went

Reddy Fox. =
There isn't much going on in the
Green Forest or on the Green Mea-
dows that Reddy doesn't know about.
He Is sly. is Reddy Fox. and his eyes
are sharp and his ears are keen. OF
course he heard the foolish gossip Of
Jenny Wren and he pricked up his
ears. - j

trot down there and make Peter a
call. OF course he'll be glad to see
me-" Reddy grinned wickedly as he
said this to himself, for he knew that
there was no one for whom Peter
Rabbit had less love unless it was old
Granny Fox.
So Reddy trotted down to the old
briar patch. Peter saw him coming
and scowled, for he guessed right
away what Reddy was coming for.
and he made ready to answer all of
Reddy's questions and still tell moth

who had called. But Reddy asked
no questions. He didn't once men
ton the fact that he had heard that
tnere was news in the old briar patch.
He Just talked about the weather and
he Old Pasture where Peter had
made such a long visit, and all the
time was as pleasant and polite az

But while he was talking Reddy
was using those sharp eyes and those
keen ears of his the best that he
knew how. But the old briar patch
was very thick and he could see only
a little way into it, and out of it
came no sound to hint OF a secret
there. Then Reddy began to walk
around the old briar patch in quite
the most matter-of-fact way. but as
was testing every little breath of air
that came Out Of the old briar patch.
At last he reached a certain place
where q little stronger breath of air
tickled his nose. He stopped for a
few minutes and slowly a smile grew
and grew. Then without saying a
word he turned and trotted back to-
ward the Green Forest.
Peter Rabbit watched-him go. Then

OF course Jenny Wren didn't mean
to tell the secret of the old briar
patch, because she had promised
Peter Rabbit that she wouldn't. But
she didn't see any harm in telling
eevry n she met that there was a
secret there, at least that there was
great news there. and SO. because
Jenny Wren is a great gossip, it
wasn't long before all the little peo-
pie on the Green Meadows and in the
Green Forest and around the Smiling
Pool had heard it and were wonder
ing what the news could be.
Jimmy Skunk was the first to visit
the old briar patch and try to find
out from Peter Rabbit what Jenny
Wren meant. but Peter managed to
keep his secret and Jimmy Went back
