r EMIT Is that season of the year

ligious. because 1t gives one
such a blessed opportunity to recover
from auction bridge losses or to re-
tire to a hospital for an operation
In the beginning fashionable wom-
en- beat tom toms to call attention to
their sacrificial fires, and in the end
only those are found kneeling in pen
itential attitude whose lives are sac

inspiring music and brave numbers
and that reached the Easter of their
journey with only handful of the
faithful left
With Daysey Mayme Appleton,
Lent is Nicarious atonement. in
true Lenten spirit she persuades 9TH
ers TO make sacrifices, sustained by
the knowledge that self denial Is for
their best good and that the saving
of others is more to be desired than
saving herself-a beautifully fashion
able creed.

Then she felt that the time had
come for personal endeavor, and with
the money invested in purple broad

she spends her days embroidering an

"HERE is little dancer in New
York who stoutly asserts that the
American girl is not pretty. AT
least, not pretty in the right way, and
whatever looks she has are not last
ing" And this little maiden who has
such very decided views on the Ameri-
can type is Miss Nora White.
Here in America" she said, with
her pretty foreign accent, "the old la
dies are really more attractive than the
young girls. For, at least, we must
admit that the articles they resort to
to make up to them in some small re-
spect for the youth they have lost and
can never have again. But the young
girls are horrible in their distorted
ideas of beauty. They appear on Broad
way as young as IS with makeup
enough on their little girl faces to start
a drug store. / have never seen any
thing more revolving. Don't they know
what they are doing? Can't they realize
that nature is the one beautiful thing
in the universe, and they cover up their
natural looks as though they were some
thing 10 be ashamed Of.
1.-THE great trouble with American
women lies in the fact that they are
one and all living beyond their in
comes. This brings worry. Just like
their beauty. everything is external; all

is piled on thick so that the heart
ache underneath is hidden. And with
all this sordidness underneath, gnawing
continually at the foundation of things,
how can woman keep her youth? And
without her youth. no wonder she is
compelled TO cover up the wrinkles with
these awful cosmetics.
"And then with these women all striv-
ing to outdo each other in showiness.
how can America hope for the right
kind of men? | have heard young girls
of to-day remark that if they wore
loud gowns and put on plenty Of paint
so that they could attract sufficient
attention they would never need to look
out for an escort. What is youth the
American girl? Absolutely nothing but
q snare. It amounts to nothing, be
cause It is too farcical to last any APP
probable amount of time.
I'm Europe the girls are always fresh
and young they never have any wor-
ries, because they never live beyond
their incomes They don't use make
up because they don't need it, and they
are therefore natural. They have hap.

times that are really deserving Of the

lived through before the sham can be
put aside and the natural resumed until
the next engagement.
II really don't know what can be
done to better conditions over here. 1

Of the impression she was creating she
might decide to take bold stand for

Genius is ,alent set on fire by cour-

Talent is ability plus facility.
And facility is the genius foI do

But courage-ah, that Is the fne
| splendor of achievement that makes

even when he is dangerously far
ahead of his times.
1t is always well to believe a few
things deeply-provided only they are

Great pleasures are let on short

and lesser feelings follow and linger

equal regularity.
Man by taking thought may not be
