REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
When Lillian Game to NIadgc.
By ADELE GARRISON

When Lillian Came to Nladge. l Lillian Underwood looked at me wanely from beneath the crown of l gray hair which had sb astonished
 me when she removed her veil. She had warned me over the telephone 1 not to be surprised or shocked at any l change in her appearance, but I had never dreamed of so comlete a meta morphosis as that which l saw before 1 me.
 I had never seen Lillian Underwood before without a most atrocious make 1 up of rouge and powder. and with her
 hair dyed yellowish blonde color. My first glimpse of her face had made mo catch my breath, it was so like that of an old woman. But as I looked more closely saw that it wns not age but suffering that had chiselled the lines of ,her countenance. There were the remnants of great youthful beauty in Lillian's face. Nay, more, there were wonderful pos

There's one comfort, can't possibly ever look any worse than I do now. and when my hair gets over the effect of its long years of dyeing. and my present emotional crisis becomes less tense I probably shall not be such a fright. But, oh, my dear, how glad I am to be with you. need you so much just now"
 She put her head on my shoulder as a homesick child might have done, and I felt her draw two or three long, shuddering breaths, the dry sobs which take the place of tears in the rare moments when Lillian Under wood gives way to emotion. stroked her hair with tender pitiful fingers, noticing as did so what ravages her foolish treatment of her hair had made in tresses that must once have been beautiful. Originally of the blonde tint she had tried to preserve, her locks were now an ugly mixture of dull drab and gray. As I stood looking down at the head pillowed against my shoulder realized what

She's terribly homely, but she's nice," said Molly, the little stenog- rapher lady.
 Why do you say but ?" said the Authorman.
 Well, why not?" said Molly.
 T think and so would be better, said the Authorman. She's homely, and 50 she has to be nice."
 Why has to be'?"
 It's Not An Accident That Homely
 Girls Are Interesting.
 ITO make people like her. Did you think it was by accident that home- ly girls are apt to be the most inter- eating and the best hammered and generally the incest. The way I've doped it out is that they have to be if they want to be liked, and being human beings. they do.'' pretty girls are never interesting or nice and that homely girls are never disagreeable."
 Of Course Somc Gases of Homeliness

II said apt to be- And I don't mean that the ,homely girl consciously thinks things out and says I've got to be amusing and interesting and tactful, If I'm going to be liked A few of them do but the most of them just go in that direction unconscious. ly.

We do not like to raise the price

is possible only if all subscribers
promptly pay up their back SUBJ
