Woman Retains Charm, Only Illusion Lost
Modern Girl with Skill and Intelligence Fully Attrac

stance. great fragility and delicaey in a
woman were considered highly admir-
able
In the novels OF that time, which fairly
represent the ideals OF that age. the
heroine spent much of her time as an
interesting invalid lying on the sofa; she
tainted at the sight of a drop of blood.
and when she tottered abroad for a little
stroll she always leaned heavily on the
heros arm.
Can you picture any young man OF to-
day being charmed by that type Of young
person? You can't. Nobody can. He'd
can her slckly. and leave her to her
trained nurse and a sanatarium. The
type of girl that the modern young man
falls for is the husky young woman who
can play eolf all day and dance all night.

to the injured n anybody gets hurt. and
who Is in no more danger Of swooning
than he is.
Beauty has ever been supposed to be
womsn's one best bet. and the one thing
that she could count on with, which to
lure men into matrimony. 1t Is still. II II

but the day of the doll-baby woman has
gone forever. Nothing is more common
now than 10 hear a man say of some
woman who is merely pretty 'Oh. she's
good enough to look at | like TO dance
with her and 70 take her into dinner now
and then, but heaven defend me from
ever marrying something that's nothing
but living picture. ia get so bored
r~ting up gazing at a woman who had
nothing but a complexion and nothing
on her mind but her false hair. that I'd
throw things at her at the end OF the
first elk months"
And this attitude OF men towards
beauty in women Is universal Recall all
tho weddings you've been to in the last
five years, and you win see that the
'woman's iOoks-barring actual hideosity-
had little effect on the mans choice.
Ninety-nine rer cent OF the brides would
never have had a look In a at a beauty
show. ard even the pretty ones had some
other virtue than their looks to recon-
mend them
As for education. men are no longer
afraid Of the blue stocking. In fact. a
cultivated man demands as a life COM

little attractive to a man as the lace ruff
files grandpapa used to wear.
Nor Is the economic independence Of
woman such a oiighting curse upon a
woman's chance OF matrimony. as some
reactonaries anticipated It would be-

Jessa- mines and many other tropical flow CTS grow without much cultivation. With these beautiful touches of the flowery land there are thousands of birds whose brilliant plumage aids a touch of variegated color and their sweet songs, all combined with the over present sunshine amid the orange blossoms. makes Florida truly beau tiful in midwlnter
