Do Women Like TRUTH?

The friend who is honest with you
honest, frank and perhaps even
brutal-is the true friend. The flat
tering sycophant who offers honeyed
words is actually your enemy. He
does not look at you through rose
colored glasses and see you as better
than you are, but he considers you a
weakling who wants to be fed sugar
plums and to be catered to and flat
tered.
Don't be cynical about the kind
things people say to you; but take
them with sanity and modesty, and
try to accept in spirit of sweetness
adverse criticisms, which may be
about the healthiest dose any friend
can offer you.
: Therein lies one OF the qualities in
masculine nature that enables it to
stand more calmly than does the fem
mine life's wear and tear; men like
flattery-but they can stand the truth.
Some masculine weaklings adore
compliments; but the average strong
man prefers cold facts to fairy tales.
We women must cultivate in our
natures greater liking for honesty
though it be brutal.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Do women want a need Of flattery
and compliments offered them as
tribute--or do they desire the finer
tribute of honest, simple and, if need
be, bitter truth?
Does the feminine want even its
medicine sugar coated, or is it will
ing to swallow bitter dose if that
will prove curative?
On the attitude Of the individual
woman toward these questions de-
ponds whether she is to have true
friends as she goes through lite or
whether she can hope for nothing bet
ter than acquaintance with women
and flirtations with men.
The truth isn't always pleasant;
how can it be? Life itself IS Tar
too bitter and grim a reality to make
that possible. But the truth is cura-
tive. The people who tell it to you
have taken the trouble to study. you
TO look at you squarely and fairly
as an individual worthy their atten-
ton and interest, and to try to figure
out what is for your good and ad-
vantage.
None Of us can stand off and get
a perspective on ourselves. All OF US
have unsupported weakness and pc
culiarities, and little mental twists
and turns which make us repellant to
some and charming to others. But,
unfortunately, our weakness may
make us repel those whom we most
desire to attract. Then what can be
more valuable than friendship
which tells us honestly and loyalty
where lie our weaknesses and where
our chances Of improvement?

When CroW's Feet
Beam to Come

Crows feet not invariably, but
generally, come from weak eyes and
delay or procrastinatio in using
spectacles. If the eyes are habitually
screwed up they will soon form. To
avoid this. wear plain motor goggles
in high wind, even when driving in
an ordipary carriage, and blue glasses
whenever the sun is strong.
Crows feet yield sometimes oftener
to massage than any other facial
trouble. Take little massage cream
and rub in we'll in circular man
ner, round and round. Do this for
FIVE minutes night and morning. II
the eyelids themselves anew rinkled,
the same treatment may be employed,
only in a far gentler fashion.
Salt and water, or the tannin in
strong tea. is often an astringent for
preventing crows feet; or bark and
myrrh. to be bought from any care
ful druggist, but these are apt to stain
the skin. unless good massage cream
is subsequently rubbed in.
II the eyes suddenly blink at
light. or the cyclids start twitching
convuisirely. you may be sure enough
that you are run down in health and
overworkcd, OF that you need spec
taclcs. 1t is probably anaemia, and
an iron tonic. is usually the best
remedy. .4
Sleep is also a great beautifer for
TIC eyes. The eyes of a good sleeper
viii always be dreamy and deep in
color, and the eyelids will fold back
caln',. without that nervous, rapid
blinking which is irritating to watch.
Ii the eye suddenly witches, and an
oculist pronounces glasses unneces-
sary. it would be advisable to 60 in
for massage or electrical treatment.
1t sometimes is the precursor of Z
nervous breakdown or some other
serious malady A doctor should be
consulted in this case, as is best, also,
with any irregularity of the eyes. To
tie green ribbon around the eyes
at night is excellent for resting thu
eyes and keeping them calm and still:

The weird melody Of Hawaiian
music has won the hearts OF society.
Rag time for pleasure and for dane

melodies on Hawaiian instruments
are being used. In New York espe-

The ukele is the instrument OF the
hour. In Chicago the young women
on the bathing beaches in their gay
bathing costumes sun themselves on
the sands and tinkle its strains.
Omaha young women have the craze
as badly as all the rest Some play
the little instruments in secret, some
take lessons privately, but others are
