The Girl Who Looks Nice

The well-groomed girl is not always the
most cxpensively dressed girl, nor does
she dress her hair in the most extreme
fashion. But when you look at her once,
you are bound to take a second look
she is so pleasing, so harmonious. so
restful.
Her hair is glossy and well brushed;
She never allows spot to remain on
her frock. Her neckwear is immaculate
and her skirts and blouses always meet
firmly. Her skirts do not sag at all and
her boots or shoes are never run down
at the heel. A missing shoe button she
abhors. and her laces and ties are al
ways fresh and well tied
She wears a simple hat with a coat and
skirt and her gloves are subdued IN
color. She does not wear fancy slippers
with a short tailored skirt, or a much
betrimmed hat in the morning. Fresh
ness and harmony-these are the keynotes
of the girl who always looks nice.

Does Love Win Love?

Does the warmth of a great love newt
ably kindle a love in the heart of the
beloved? Alas this cannot be so, or
why so many unreciprocated attach
ments?
No, it is not true that love begets love
Many man has worshiped for years,
and not been able to win more than
the most casual affection in return. And
their name is legion of those who have
married with but a one-sided affection
between them,
And does the other side never respond
to, never return this depth of feeling?
Very seldom, If ever; in time a placid
tenderness may be evoked. but not love
A great amount of human pain and
misery would be spared If love could
always win love. but while human hearts
are under the mysterious sway of Master
Dan Cupid this can never be the case for
as the wind bloweth where it listeth, so
love loves just how and when he chooses.

At last she came in sight Of the big
tents, She knew them at once from
what she had heard the children say. In
and out among the crowd she slipped;
through the heaps of straw she made
her way; clear up to the tent where the
big animals were kept. Under the tent
she crawled, right in among the
elephants
And when. later in the afternoon, Susan
and Ellen, Jack and Ned and mother
visited the elephants and tigers what do
you suppose they saw?
Their own Kitty Lou perched up on the
back Of the biggest elephant And she
didn't seem half as excited or as
frightened as her mistress!

Little remarks Of this sort can do much

They SOW the seed Of dissatisfaction,
and the more the Young husband cares
for his mother the more then will her
opinion weigh with him.
The average set of relatlons-in-law do
seem somehow to maintain n critical at
ttude In the general run OF things this
attitude can hardly be given such
strong term as antagonstic, but all the

path Of true love run smoothly. For the
criticism of outsiders is not an easy

wife to bear 1t creates a doubt in the
mind of one or the other and at the

Weller on this very subject are quite

markable perspicacity. And il every re-
lation-in-law who is at all inclined to
be critical and censorous read his opinion

ACCORDING to current information In
~ the daily papers, relations-in-law are
indeed responsible fdr many. many ups
and downs and many strange vicissitudes
In the life matrimonial. While apparently
being quite well equipped for the engi-
neering of their own affairs, they yet seem
to have peculiar faculty for the tangllng
and twisting Of other peoples. and re-
cent case in this connection quite bears
the idea out. out In Los Angeles a bride
OF five months has just filed suit for 800
COO damages for the alienation of her hus-
bands affections She declares that her
husbands parents and sister. by false and
malicious statements have caused him
TO abandon her.
II appears that at first the marriage
was a very happy one until the BRIDE
groom fell i'll with dlphtheria. At the con-
valescent stage he went to the home OF
his parents in order to recuperate telling
his young wife to follow him on a later
train. There seems to have been some
subterfuge in his mind here, for when the
bride carried out his injunctions and duly
arrived on the scene. she found no hus-
cidedly unpleasant sister-in-law, who in
formed her that she was unwelcome, that
her husband was removed from there and
That she might just as well return
whence she came. All of which was dis
tinctly unpalatable for the bride OF five
months, who finally had the unpleasant
realization borne in upon her that she was
unwanted by and unnecessary to the man
of her choice and her lawful husband.
All efforts on her part TO effect a recon-
Citation were futile-hence the filing of
the 100000 damage suit

the matrimonial pathway made consider

after the matrimonial moose has been
