BEAUTY CHATS
THE safILE FROM WITHIN
BY Blanche Beacon.

Xou see am marking back to your expression, which is as much a feat ure Of your face as though it were real flesh and blood. instead of being the eIusives fugitive. temperarnental thing that it is-
 The first lesson the young girl must learn is that enduring beauty comes ate curves oE loveliness in fac9 and form and that the more susceptible she becomes to their refining influence the greater Is their vitality and pow ar.
 A keen and sympathetic interest in all that is great and good, and 8 nne broad charity for it's follies and faults, all these open the mind to wider scope and enable us to see beyond the belftflinE cares of every day life.
 Do not study 50 much the color of your eyes as the thought whieh brings a sparkle to them: cultivate an inti- mate knowledge with the em notions which chronicle themselves in your all too plastic features Happiness Is a great beautifier and the secret of it Hes within ourselves
 The happiness Of my pretty mod ei fs obviously because she hears ther masters voice. and the tradf t1Ona1 solitaire on her engagement finger. tells the whole story Not only her sAAAA1S DNs Acr eyes IS1AeCI AeI JOyoqS- ness of soul Of course this is a portrayal of a selfish happiness but it also shows what a beautifar 1t is.
 But of all the moulding forces that are ever at work making and mar ring beauty, none is so potent as that of SPIRITUAL activity. The dwarf ing of the soul means the dwarflng of the body In its development lies every woma1's freedom from herselg.
 This is the secret of the divinity within us that makes the divinity

MISS LIBBEY'S ANSWERS

A Cheap Engagement Ring.

Dear Miss L.TDb ey: What do you think of a man who gives his girl dollar engagement ring with the remark: If any thing should happen to part us I won't be out much ?'' I refused 70 accept it. I would have died Of shame to have my friends see or kiow about it He says: It's that one or none I am ~on- dering and worrying over whether he is serious in his attens.ons or not.
 ROSE The best plan to pursue would be to have an understanding with him on subject. You have not sSaIed whether he could afford a better ring or not. If you were a firt, and had accepted other betrothaI rings, one could un- derstand why he was 10th. to buy a more costly seal and token Of his love-and yours.

THE EAGLE AND THE DOVE.
1Bx virrinia valaA

-.f .&Dy VIF81n14 Xale.1 Once upon d time there was a moth CT eagle that lived very high Ilp on 2 ekg hfH and made it's nest in some tall seones. It was hard to find the nest as it was made Of stalks and leaves that were nearly the same color as rne stones The eagle thought it a very safe place for the little ones that came to live with her but one day a big man came and found the nest and carried off the young ones. The moth CT was very sad when she found them gone and kept flying about the nest and making a funny noise but she could not see anything of her little ones
 She thought she would go away and see if she could find them, so she flew i. a long way and, all of sudden. she saw something white flying near the ground She was sure it was one of her eagles and hurried to it. Yes it was one of the little birds and some dogs were barking at it and it was very much frightened. The mother eagle stopped down and picked up the bird in its strong beak and carried it into e. barn where it took care of it. Every day the great big eagle would bring the little bird nice things to eat and always when it was cold she would spread her wings and keep the bird warm. The eag1e was very happy
 
 again and grew to love it dearly.
 One day when the little bird was peginning to fly. the two, the big and little bird. were together on some rocks when they heard somebody talking
 Why. said a voice, Took at that big eagle and that little dove right near it" Then the eagle knew that she did not have one Of her own little eagles but instead had a dove. At first she was going to be cross but when she remembered how much she loved the little bird and how she had taken care of it so long she said, Little dove I will always take care of you and we shall be plsyTnates and go everywhere together as soon as I teach you to fly by yourself So the little dove and the great big eagle stayed together and had just the happiest time flying ev- erywheret and seeing everything so that big eagle didn't long for his little eagle anT longer but love the little dove more and more.

Too Fond of the Movies

Dear Miss Lfbaoey: 4i
 Do you objert giving, a man the ben eft Of your wisdom? This is my case. I have a sweetheart, a charming girl whom I am strongly inclined to mar ry Of late she has developed g fad which causes me to dount whether she would make a man like me-who is thoroughly dofnesttcated- "a good wife. She has developed a craze to attend the moving picture shows every night in the yEeek-rain or shine If re- fuse to accompany her, she starts off alone, remaining, as the old saving goes, till the last dog Is hung. What am I to do?
 TROUBLED MECHANIC.
 The craze to go to shows will soon wear itself out. Be patient with her. Refuse to accompany her. Tell her you intend to call on some young lady who enjoys entertaining you in her home. I think this would bring your sweetheart to her senses She has ev idently a restless disposition; this usually accompanies a loving heart. I am sure all will end we'll Do not quarrel with her.
