.Lr LOST my husband" said one
woman, because loved him too
\ much.
cone Of the chief reasons why mar
rage is a failure is because women
can live on love as a steady diet all
Of their lives, and still ask for more.
while a man is as easily surfeited
with affection as he is with sweets
He likes a little love. at the right time
and place, as he does a mouthful OF
dessert, but it never occurs to him to
make his whole meal upon it. IT'S
women who are the chocolate cream
sex.
THE wisest man that ever lived, and
the one who had the most experience
with women, exclaimed: Stay me with
flagons, comfort me with apples Tor
I am sick of love-
"I never make a wedding present
that I don't wish that I had the cour-
age to have those words Of solomon
Illuminated in letters a foot high to
present to the bride, for II I did I
might save some other foolshly fond
woman from making the mistake that
I did-which was smothering my hus-
band under so much affection that ne
suffoeated in the domestic atmosphere.
Il wonder what is the purpose of the
malign fate that makes people Ct alb
solutely Numerically opposite ten
peraments so fascinating to each other
before marriage and so distastefU to
each other after marriage2 I am by
nature sentimental, emotional and OF
a most affectionate disposition.
Picked Practical Man.
1.-THE man I picked out to marry was
practical, self-cOntajned, without g
shred of romance in his composition
Love was the whole Of life to me. There
were a million things more important
to him. Love did not compare In in
terest to him, for instance, with bust
| ness, or golf, or fishing, or baseball.
I'm not saying he wasn't fond OF
me. He was in his way. I am sure
that he cared for me more than he ever
did for any other woman, and he was
/ kindness and generosity itself to nc
! He lavished upon me everything in the
world but one thing that I wanted
most-and that was love. I adored
| him, worshipped him. I had no life
( except as it came to me through him
| I simply did not exist when he was
| out OF my sight, and so to be neal

=: Worry As Wrinkle Maker =:
Charming Elsie Ferguson Deliberately Sacrifice Beauty
BY ELSIE FERGUsON.


HAT is beauty without success
\" and a constant feeling that one
w is Of use in the worldg After
all life is what we make it. and worth
comes essentially from within but It
Is what we take from our environment
that really makes the biggest differ
enee. Women Of today are forgetting
that Of ali things in the world that
should be lightly put aside, the little
things. the petty worries, are the trou-
bles that should be dealt with as trivial
matters, and Of course these are just
the very things that must be greatly
exaggerated.
Modern women are petty and fret
ful. they have the countless tiny
wrinkles OF worries that might have
been avoided engraved upon their
eountenances. They are small in their
conception Of life, the bigger, finer
possibilities have no interest for them,
They frItter their lives and their looks
away in a vain worry about things that
frequently never happen at all, and in
consequence miss the opportunity to
recognise worth OF any kind in other
people.
We have heard Of people who have
30 small an opinion of themselves that
they cannot conceive Of anything noble
in another. Many women OF today are
that way; they Judge everybody by
the narrow standard they have laid out
for themselves, and 1t is really not
their fault when after while it be-
comes impossible. for them to see be-
yond a certain limit. don't think that
people realize how much harm thing
like this can mean TO people at large.
Everybody suffers from Il. and this
small conception OF life is much mare
prevalent among women than among
men.
One runs up against women Of this
theater expecting to be amused; they
never take into account the fact that
the actor or actress upon the stage
has a certain amount Of nervous
strain, and that many Of US do our
best work when we are secure in the
knowledge that We have a sympa-
thetic audience. Instead, they come
and sit in the front rows and boxes
ana make almost audible comments
on what is going on. I say that there
should be cooperation; the world Of
women should be run on this basis;
women should be less petty, less self
centered, more self-controled, as most
Of our men are.
There are countless women made
unhappy simply through the selfish
ness Of other women who will not
stop to think; there are hundreds OF
women today running not only their
chances OF happiness but their chances
OF good looks. There should be a bal
ance so thaL every person may nave q
fair chance, a word Of encouragement
occasionally rather than a feeling that
there is no room on the earth for any
save the wealthy and influential

1.-THE keynote of true girlishness In
dress is simplicity. There should
Il be nothing of the bizarre, nothing
extreme on a young girl. but all har
clothes should breathe sweetness.
Youth is like a flower, whether II be
a faint pink rose or a scarlet poppy,
and color is, therefore, as much part
Of youth as anything one might su5-
geSt.
Therefore, let a girl be attired IN
any color she may desire, but let there
be no trimming or very little orna-
mentation of any kind about her For
real youth. perhaps there is nothing
so attractive as pure white, made very
simply without silhOuetting the figure.
Color is, of course, bright and youth
Tul. but white is so innocent there IS
something about it that speaks Of the
Eragility of femininity, and. Of course,
Il real girl wants to be feminine N
her mind and thoughts as well as IN
ner clothes
In her street attire a girl would do
well to favor a One-toned color scheme,
put let tbare be nothing dashing about
her cosfdA The lines should be
well fashi0tted in the prevailing mode,
without anything extreme. The suit
should be made for a young girl, and
therefore should be essentially youthful
in its entirety, and as a general thing,
very simple
The short skirts are fashionable
again and short skirts are particularly
necoming to youth The neck line OF
a costume is a very important asset

the French Ambassador, the party was

Nearly every town and village when
the party passed through has sufferSd

in their retreat destroyed everything
that they could lay their hands on,
and drove out the inhabitants to wan

There are thousands Of graves
everywhere-in the fields. in gardens.
in bitches and even in the roads. Many
of the bodies are so lightly covered

them.
