off low and untidy chignons, they all
managed to look like caricatures.
Half of those women might easily
have been pleasant to look upon if their
respect for their mental makeup had
not been so great that they had put
down any attention to their physical
selves as actual makeup"
The clever girl is too likely to react
from the merely physical. She de-
spises the charms nature gave her and
bewails the fact that those charms ap-
peal.
Why not be honest with ourselves? ?
We all love beauty. A wonderful sun
set, perfect flower, a beautiful child,
a glorious painting, an exquisite song
all these things appeal to the senses,
and none of us are ashamed to acknowl-
edge the appeal.
The clever girl who ignores her ply
sical assets shows a lack of mental bal
ance. No man worth knowing is going
actually to prefer stupid little beauty
to a clever, sane, attractive looking
woman. Perhaps the pretty girls
whom Mary despises are companion
able and sympathetic, if not brilliant.
Charm and beauty are always attain
able in some degree-and they are
worth striving for

Gives Up Claim to $699,
Preferring Feather Bed

Syracuse, N. Y, June 80. - For a
feather bed and two pillows. Mrs. Car
rie L, Button. of Salem, Washington
county, will surrender all claim to
S699.43 from the estate of her sister,
Mrs. Mary L. Colegrove, who died
in this city on December %, 1914.
Mrs. Button claims that she was en-
titled to the $699.43 for services rem
dered to her sister and stoutly main
tanned her right to the amount for
some months while the settlement Of
the estate was being arranged. Fn-
nally, however, she compromised and
promised to waive all claim providing
that the feather bed and two pillows
which had been in the family many
years became her property.
The terms of the unique settlement
have been accepted by the Rev. Will
