IN women because the friendship Is
tnged with envy. Even broad natured,
big hearted woman who is plain may
feel twinges of envy because she does
not measure up TO the physical standard
OF her friend. She feels a shade OF re-
sentiment toward the beautiful one for
that reason. BY so much as she feels
that resentment something is subtracted
from their friendship.
The beauty may not know this OF her
own accord, but some one OF her friends
or family win be sure to tell her. II she
is sensitive she win be deeply hurt. II
combative the knowledge will make her
angry. It is eallous person, indeed,
who can rejoice in the envy she has
inspired. Envy Is too nearly allied to
hatred, and hatred, every one knows, is
a mental. and character poison.
The beauty Is no more fortunate in
the love she awakens in men that in the
friendship she inspires in women. The
famous beauty does not attract, as rule,
the best kind OF men Silly youths or
foolish old men are likely to Join her

The girl who has escaped beauty es
capes many OF the temptations of life
Every woman Of charm meets some tenn
tation, but for the woman who has
pretty face they are legion.
Beauty is always a target for criticism
1t calls attention to imperfeetions OF
mind, OF art, of character. Any stage
beauty will tell you how seriously her
good looks handicapped her In the be.
ginning of her stage career.
Look at that pretty girl" a locker
through q lorgnette will say. "Isn't she
frightfully awkward? And she acts
atrociouslyi"
The palmer girl might have passed
more or less unnotieed until she had
earned the fundamentals of her art
Beauty is a loud voiced challenge
lays, Look at me- gee how dreadful /
ailri See wnat I cannot dor
AS beauty calls attention to the inper-
feetions of youth and inexperience, SO II
accentuates the passing of the years The
beautiful woman Is not permitted to grow
old gracefully. She hears, "She is not
looking as well as she did," and II do be-
lieve she is going off, or, What a pity
she Is getting fati" She Is spurred on to
harder work than ever to remain al
beauty.
On the other hand. those who ara
nearest and should be tile best friends de-
ceive one. The heauty's family and
friends so steep her In adulation that she
thinks the chance remarks she has heard
from strangers may be untrue after all.
Her husband tells her that she is the
loyeliest of women. and she tries to be-
heve him because she wants to. Then il
youth enters into the arena as a rival
and she learns at last of his devotion to
some young girl her heart breaks.
The broken heart is after all the end o.
beauty, unless It has been fortified by an
active brain.

Having Beauty She Does MOI
Need to Develop Her Brains,

This Is trying to the temper, yet l
am enough of philosopher to under
stand It and to grant that there ID good
reason for It. The brain of a beauty is
more than likely to be stultified because
she is not called upon to use 1t In her
youth. II she Is beautiful her lacks are
forgiven her. She soon discovers that
she need not study as hard as the other
girls In school do. Teacher" viii ex-
cuse her. She does not need to apply
herself so diligently to learning the art
OF housekeeping for Mother won't mind
She doesn't have TO exert herself as
PLAIN girls DO to be entertaining Her
looks provide sufficient entertainment.
The result is that she is constantly in
danger Of becoming a mental aloven.
Her brain, that may have been good at
the beginning becomes atrophiad be-
cause 1t does not have to exercise.
Therefore beauties earn the reputation
or being stupid, and many of them de-
serve ii.
Does IT surprise you to learn thRt the
beauty is not as much beloved as The
plain woman? 1t is true. Again fi1ere "A
a good reason. There are several rea.
sons. First, consider that grade oh love
which Is called friendship The heantv

The woman who has . reputation for
