Was Mary Weldon

NOTED to forewoman, and finally at
the age of 27 she became one of the
mill superintendent, with an Office
desk near that of her multi-million-
aire employer, Robert Lincoln Draper
of a celebrated New England family,
which has numbered governors and
ambassadors among its scions.
Right there the story of Mary Wei
don, successful business woman,
ends. And the story of Mary Weldon
Draper, successful wife, begins. For,

GIRL WHO WORKS is GIRL TO WED-'DOESN'Is

once in a hundred years in real life,
the mill girl has just been married to
her employer.
The wedding took place in New
York city and was very quiet. Not
one of Mrs. Diapers former associ-
ates in the mill knew it was going to
happen. Even her widowed mother
professed to be astonished when she
heard of the marriage.
And yet there is no reason why
anybody should be astonished when
business man chooses a business
woman for his wife.
Every year more and more men
are doing it. Every year the society
debutante with her little bunch of
parIor tricks, her ragtime dancing
and her ragbag brain, finds it harder
and harder to get husband. And
the girl whom a business man sees
eight or ten hours day, the girl he
knows gets up early, always dresses
neatly, talks sensibIy, reads the pa
pers, lives on fixed income and
manages to save money, briefly, the
girl who works becomes more and
more his ideal of womanhood.
Even the standard of beauty has
been changed by the incursion Of
woman into the business world.
Look at Mary Weldon Diapers pic
ture with it's chiseled, intelligent fea-
lures, the smooth, sensible arrange
ment of the hair. There you have the
attractive business woman, the girl
who does not try to appeal to men by
getting herself up to look as much
like a pet poodle as possible, but
whose. attire and demeanor proclaim
her to be self-respecting and ready
and anxious to respect any one whose
qualities enlist her interest and COM
mand her esteem.
The man she married is in the late
forties, an age when far too many
men fall in love with girls in their

The Y. NJ. C. A. minstrel troupe,
sixty strong, journeyed to Warsaw by
special car Friday evening, and rem
dered their performance at the Dream
land before small but very appre-
ciative audience.
The program was given the same as
lat the Grand last performance with
exception of two new songs, and some
different cross fire. The second hair
especially deserves mention, owing to
the clever work of Brassill and Whet-
stone in their novel comedy skit, in
which an original automobile is
used, which blows up and takes Braz
with it. This sketch is alone credited
by those who have seen the show es
being well worth the price of admts-

The orchestra went down on an

which they are rendering the music

FORD STARTS CAMPAIGN
FOR LESS EATING

Most of us have to move along a
number of years in life's journey be-
fore we learn anything of value in
the matter of eating for preserving
health and promoting longevity.
Firmly convinced that people con-
sumo three times as much food as
they should, and that gluttony
causes brain sluggishness and a
booze" appetite, Henry Ford has
directed Dr.. James E. Mead to es-
tablish in the new Ford general
hospital a department of dietetics,
the object of which is to teach per-
sons to eat less and how to eat.
Eat only when hungry says
Mr.. Ford, land then eat less than
you feel you need Try this for a
week, and I'll guarantee you'll feel
much healthier"
One, perhaps the leading, purpose
of the new department is to increase
the efficiency of the men. Paying
five dollars a day depends on eff
cheney. To this end the many
thousands of Ford employees will be
taught to subsist on less food, and it
is believed that fully million dol
lars a year can be saved by his en-
|ployees in this manner.
Mr. Ford and Mr. Edison are
great friends. They go to Florida
together. Thomas Edison, said Mr..
Ford, leafs less and does more than
any man know. The best authOri-
ties | can find tell me that we eat
too much | myself have tried out
the theory that less eating is benc-
fetal. and | am thoroughly convinc-
ed that ii is reliable.
1--WE eat three times as much as
, we need One-third of our food is
necessary to our health. The other
two-thirds is not only unnecessary,
but positively harmful to us.
Think of the waste of food
stuffs there is, too. We wouldn't
feed an engine three times as much
fuel as it needs Yet we pay out our
good money to gormandize at the
expense of both our income and our
health.

large number of inland parties,
which would like to get to the mag
nificent Florida beaches, if the
roads are in condition and you reo-
pie would have many summer tour
lists as we'll as winter tourists" said
he in conclusion.
Mr.. Lefils also states that Florida
is one the right course in trying to
get the best roads possible as it will
help not only the touring industry
but the farmers as we'll. He states
that he had found little satisfaction
in the past in touring in the noun
tain sections over rough roads. He
believes that many Alabamans pre-
fer good roads when they tour

PREFERS FLORIDA TO NOUN.
TAINS FOR SUMMER TOURING

That coming to Florida on a
motoring trip in summer beats 60
ing to the mountains, is the opin-
ion of A. T. Lefils. who is now on
his way to his home in Decatur, Ala,
accompanied by members of his
family. He stated while here that
he had been beseiged by his friends
to go with caravan of automobiles
from Decatur to the mountains of
North Carolina, but that he decided
not to take part. Just to the oppo-
site he came to Florida and is
"tickled to death that he made the
trip here. He went no further
south than st. Augustine this year,
but states he will come again in
1916, bringing number of other
cars
II was greatly impressed with the
road improvements which have been
effected in Florida and only hope
