Had a splendid letter from Mrs.
VIII Tenney this morning. which
almost makes me envious The
Tenneys are travelling In Japan.
She writes. who was the idiot
that wrote there Is nothing so
dead as dead love Margle7 Id
like to have him see VIII aud me
You know ! told you that every
spark OF love had for VIII was
dead before ! divorced him. and
honestly | believed II, but n this
were true. now that ! have married
him again new. better and
stronger love has risen in its place
The VIII | used to know seems
like a stranger TO me. and the WIN
who is with me now is one wom-
ans ideal OF what a lover-husband
should be. We seldom refer TO our
past life together. WIN seems to
want me TO feel that this is a new
love instead of a resurrected one
You. Margie. know how delight.
ful VIII Tenney can be as a com
panion. He is one OF those men,
you meet at times. 10 whom won.
an-any woman-is a spur To APP
parently unselfish acts and
thoughtful care while he Is with
her.
God was good TO you. Donna.
he said the other morning as he
watched me brush my hair. and
here let me tell YOU a secret. Mar.
gie. have succeeded in making
VIII think that whatever good
looks | have are God-given. did
not tell him that the gilded tlnts In
my hair are heightened by al
monthly lemon juice bath. and my
makeup box is kept closely locked
In my very own bureau drawer.
But can tell you. my dear. that
while WIN insists that because |
am happy | have grown better look
ing yet know that II is because |
want to be happy that take
OF every possible beauty
retainer and keep my beauty Sc.
crets TO myself.
Il do not make the mistake | did
during my first marriage TO WIN
hitt AAtNt IiflfdI
tons True. ! brush my hair to
what he calls FURNISHED gold in
his presence. but that is only co.
quettish vile that shows II to its
greatest advantage. he certainly
never sees Il all scraggly and ugly
while II Is being washed. neither
do let him behold my face GOV.
cred with oil or my hands in greasy
gloves
Strange. isn't II. man always
wants TO think woman's beauty is
God given; in fact. most of them
seem to resent the idea that she
can acquire anything Everything |
she has. from beauty to sense az |
she has any,. must be given her
her logical conclusion they call In |
her executive ability they |
dub inheritant tendencies of order |
Illness and thrift. her health and |
beauty are Just God-glven, all the |
rest OF the things that go to make |
up woman as they know her they |
either want to give her themselves |
or buy for her from some other |
man. Margie. Margie. IL makes me
smile to myself when realize how |
little this great feminist wave I
which Ia engulflng every thought
and action OF the thinking woman |
OF today is affecting the thought |
and action OF men Down deep In |
their hearts they are surprised !
when one OF us does anything out
OF the ordinary which means In
their vocabulary anything beyond
the art OF attracting their vagrant
fancies
And, now, we poor women have
added another duty to our already
lives. We must ac-
our part OF the wonderful
work of the world while still seem.
