ing comes a cropper. The facts
don't bear it out. Take a group of
the richest. most influential men in
any city or town in the country;
then consider their wives. AS far
as looks go they stack up no better
than the wives of an equal number
of men of small means.
Pursuing these Investigations let
US survey a profession in which
looks are supposed to count enor-
rously--the stage. Again theories
fail. Those favorites of the foot.
lights and the screen who receive
fabulous salaries because of their
firm entrenchment in the heart of
the great public, are far, from being
faultless beauties. Their appeal is
above and beyond all mere splendor
of the flesh. Their art is so sincere,
their individuality so potent, their
magnetism so compelling that they
evoke the vital spark of response in
the public and win it's spontaneous
approval and, incidentally, its gold.
The women in business who COM
mand the highest salaries or con-
duct large enterprises would not, in
most instances, be candidates for a
beauty contest; and this is no slur
upon their individual good looks.
All this would seem to prove that
beauty is not a rs per cent. asset 70
woman In the battle of life. But
of course that perplexing question
Immediately pops up. what is beau
ty?
Solomon's definition. which in the
last analysis is q masterpiece of side
stepping, beauty is in the eye of the
beholder," naturally comes to mind.
1t is profoundly true. Every one has
his own particular idea of beauty,
and yet beyond that is the mass
mind ideal. Is it not, strictly speak
ing, matter of fauItless proportion
and line, of ell-modeled features
and exquisitely tinted flesh, all COM
bined in a harmonious whole?
I am not discussing prettiness or
a charming appearance. That is so
common here in America that we
take it as q matter. of course. Sheer,
breath taking beauty is my theme,
and whether or not 1t is n valuable
asset or something of handicap.
Undoubtedly it takes a lot of
brains to cope with a lot of beauty.
If you want to see old age at its
biggest and ugliest. you will dis
cover it in the women who have
once been fair as the proverbial
poets dream.
My own opinion NJ that great
beauties should not be asked to
take their places in the rough and
tumble stir of everyday life. Their
portraits should be painted by su
preme artists. They should be per-
petuated in marble by great sculp-
tors. They should be pensioned by
the state for having added their
tieeting loneliness to the worlds vis-
ion of beauty. In doing that, have
they not done all and more, that
could be asked of them?

$4,000 GIRLS ARE
ASKED TO ENROLL
Chance Given Young Women
to Enter Training Schools
to Become Nurses

Young women to the number of
$4,000 are being asked by the United
States government to join the Unit
ed States Student Nurse Reserve.
The reserve has the purpose of
filling the big gaps left in hospital
forces by the large number of nurses
from these institutions enrolling for
Red Cross work on foreign fields and
in camps and cantonments in the
United States.
The Women's Committee, Council
of National Defense, is waging the
campaign to stimulate the enlistment
of nurses. Under the caption, Want
ed: $4,000 Women to Enroll in the
United States Student Nurse Re-
serve" the council says:
The government is calling for 25,-
900 young women to join the United
States Student Nurse Reserve and
hold themselves in readiness to train
for service as nurses.
THE war is creating an unprece-
dented demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for serv-
ice with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course of
from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the
United States Student Nurse Reserve
is releasing a nurse for service at
the front and swelling the home
army which we must rely on to act
as our second line of hospital de-
fense. Upon the health of the Amer
lean people will depend the spirit of
their fighting forces.
"Age-The call is for women be-
tween the ages of 19 and 35.
PUBLICATIONS = Intelligent, re-
sponsibie women of good education
and sound health are wanted-the
pick of the country. A college edu-
cation is a valuable asset, and many
hospitals will give credit for it.
Credit will also be given for spe-
cial scientific equipment or for pre-
liminary training in nursing, such as
that given in special courses now be-
ing conducted by various colleges
and schools. Some schools, on the
other hand. do not even require a
full high school education.
Enrolment - Women will be
given an opportunity to enroll IN
the United States Students Nurse
Reserve in any one of three ways:
"(1) AS engaging to hold them
selves in readiness until April l.,
1919, to accept assignm ents to

men will be sent to the schools as
fast as vacancies occur. Those of

sible, that not everyone who enrolls
will be accepted.

for that, I would have said more to

"oh I'm glad you did," she stam-
mered.
John Butler drew her hand
through his arm. and she felt a sense

ed to laugh, when I see how shaken
am by that encounter. You see,
have always been afraid of that dog
and when he sprang at me-
Yes I can understand" the man
interrupted as she shuddered again.
"but don't think about either of the
heasts-the two-legged. or the four
legged one" he added with a smile.
She was silent. thinking how glad
she was that this man did not know
that Talak had seized her. Had he
known it. he might have murdered
the ignorant wretch.
'I WISH" she said after a while,
that Mr.-that Cousin Amos would
get rid of that man."
IT will suggest it to DR.. Wade. the
next time I write him that Chaplin

"Oh, no-don't do that! Elizabeth
begged.
Douglas must not suspect that she
had been frightened or disturbed in
any way. She had promised that she
would see his scheme successfully
carried out. She wanted to be true
to her promise in every particular.
