Beauty.
Memphis Commercial4Appeal.

Memphis Commercial4Appeal
Beauty is but skin Deep says an
old proverb. And the irreverent mod
ern men retorts: And we don't want
to skin her"
And there you have it in nut
shell-beautiful women are to be TAX
en- at their surface value; there is to
be no prying under the exquisite ex-
terror to see if there is a heart or a
brain to fall back on when the in
evitable fading hour shall come.
OF all the tangible gifts God gives
to woman beauty is the most desired
because it is. the most effective meas
ure to gain the joys and pleasures
of life. the most powerful weapon to
win the heights of love, admiration
success. wealth and rulership. Women
l,n''2ve this because they have seen
i RIG, and never known it to fail.
T, pretty baby gets the most pet
in the pretty girl gets the most
Towers and beaux, the pretty woman
gets the soft places of the earth. In
society, in the home, in the office,
women are checked up by the mas
culine element according to their
facial perfections or 'imperfections.
But somebody says, How about the
homely girl often making the best
match?" Nine cases out of 10 the man
has first worshiped at some beauty's
shrine and been turned down before
he wakes up to the fact that there
is something more satisfying than
pink cheeks and starry eyes 1t is in
grained into mans nature to like
beautiful faces. The love of beauty
in all hearts is the barking back to
the spark of divinity that fingers i'll
human nature-a silent testimonial to
the time when they themselves were
a part of the general plan of perfec-
ton. GA thing of beauty is joy for
ever because it is an appeal, not
only to the harmonies of form and
color, but because it is visualized
proof of the perfection that passes
all understanding.
Character, the strong principle un-
der the "skin-deep" beauty, comes
into it's own in times of stress, in days
of sorrow and when the rose hues
have faded from the scheme of youth,
it is the most glorious link that binds
US to the Creator, the life line that
saves us and those about us from the
rocks of despair But because we do
not see character as we see beauty
we are long in recognizing it.
Beauty is the open sesame to ali
sorts of success. Beauty does not
open the door for herself, or set her
own chair, or hold her own coat, or
buy her own flowers. There is always
a masculine slave ready to do these
things for her. That is why women
wish to be beautiful-that they may
dwell in green pastures of ease and !
gentle consideration.
Afterward- afterward alone; /
beauty is but skin deep, and "we do
not want to skin them" say the self
indulgent, easy-going mere men Of the
world. And more is the pity that they
do. not want to do little metaphori-
cal "skinning;;" more is the pity for

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious 10 see that ali lines owned by
other parties and connected with kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep,

sionally if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauled at least once year. and that at least
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line makes the amount paid by each man
small and this cost will be than Offset by the

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT

1t is getting SO that the public al
most calls that day lost which does
not bring forth in the daily papers a
story of murder or scandal, with
three star performers-a man and
two women, or two men and one
woman. 1t is the same old sordid
story, with only slight variations as
to details. One wonders sometimes
why the dailies continue to search
for these stories and insist on pre-
senting them with fiaring headlines
and lurid pictures, but 1t is the pub
lie appetite for scandal that is to
blame, after all. II the readers did
not demand these things and devour
them with avidity, the publishers of
the papers would not print the
stories.* Years ago Stafford decid-
ed that pool and billiard rooms were
a menace to the morals of its young
people and cut them out. Many towns
sneered at the show Of what was
called "holier-than-thou spirit.
However, time has shown that Stat
ford was simply pioneer in move
ment that was to become popular all
over the state. Many towns have
since followed the example. King
man is one of the latest, putting these
institutions out of business last week
