that so many eNpectant mothers de-
rived the comfort and blessing OF
this famous remedy.
Mothers Friend is an external

II certainly has a wonderful effect
by expanding muscles, and is

woman awaiting motherhood.
The action Of Mothers Friend
makes the muscles free. plant and
responsive. When the baby arrives
they expand easily. and pain ana
danger at the crisis is naturally less.
Strain upon the nerves and liGs
ments is lessened and in place OF a
period OF discomfort and conse-
Quent dread, IL is a season OF calm
repose and happy anticipation.
Mothers Friend enables the
mother to preserve her health anu

Representative D. J. Lewis Compares
Messages to Freight by Rail.

1T costs the American almost as
much to ship his long-distance con-
yersation over the wires. mile for
mile. as 1t costs him to ship q ton Of
freight over the rails. The railroads
get on the average seven mills a milo
for moving the ton Of freight. The
Bell system charges six mills q mile
for carrying the 3-minute conversa-
ton. You can realize how weighty

They weigh about Q ton on the long

Former Representative David J..
Lewis. OF Maryland. made this en-
phatic, declaration Wednesday night
at a meeting OF the Connecticut Ave-
nue. Citizens Association in the Army
and Navy Preparatory School, where
he was the principal speaker. His de-

able merriment from a large-sized
audience. which indorsed his senti-

Taking for his subject "The Postal

proceeded upon the theory that all

the Postoffice Department was very
much in favor OF this idea.

The Charm of the Real
BY DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER.

This is for you. girls. Please read
il.
Have you ever thought that the real
was as valuable in a human being
as it is in an article? If you haven't,
just consider the matter a bit.
When you 90 shopping you turn up
your little nose at near silk, imita-
ton lace and cat fur masquerading
as fox, and you wouldn't be caught
dead wearing a paste diamond or
pinchbeck jewelry. You have good
taste and judgment. and things that
pretend to be something grander and
finer than they are do not attract you.
You know that they have neither
beauty nor wearing quality.
You realize that a cotton gown is
pretty and desirable when it is frank
ly and honestly a cotton gown, and
doesn't attempt to be silk; that a lady
may be well dressed and smart with
never an inch of lace on her garment,
but she becomes n trump when she
dikes herself out in yards and yards
of coarse machine made filet. and
that the wearing of fake jeweIry
shrieks aloud to Heaven that the
wearer is both vulgar and ignorant.
You know all this, and when you
go shopping your pass word is real
real silk, real wool, real gold and
silver, solid mahogony, genuine Chip
pendale or Adams-no substitutes, no
make-believes. no pretences. no gold
plating. no veneering. It's the genu-
inc goods that fills your eye. and that
you want to buy and take home with
you to keep.
Now it's queer that you girls who
set this value upon the real IN DIR"
goods. furnishings and je~e:ry don
appreciate that there is just the same
difference between the girl who is
genuine and sincere. and the girl who
is artificial that there is between real
goods and imitation goods.
But you don't. Girls are the original
oamouflage artists. They are always
putting on some sort of a disguise.
They are never willing to look like
nature intended them to look, or be
what nature intended them to be.
They are forever posing in some char
acter foreign to them.
The blonde girl washes her hair in
henna to make it dark. The dark
haired girl puts peroxide on her Jocks
to make them golden. The fat girls
Demure little domestic girls try to be
giddy. Simple-minded ones affect 1b-
sen. Everyone engages in a game of
make believe which deceives no one
but themselves.
This is not only bad ethics. It is
bad taste. lad Judgment and bel busi-
ness sense, for it makes a girl throw
away the charm she has IN tr ying to
vainIy initiate a charm that she can
never have. It's a case of the ging-
ham dress pretending to be a satin
frock.
You know how 1t goes. There's
Clementiaa, who is a daughter Of the
gods, divinely tall, a great, big. superb
Roman matron looking woman. Glen
intina is a creature to worship before
as long as she wears rich, 1ignified
gowns, and moves through life in a
slow, dignified. majestic way.
But C,ementina admires the cute hit
Tia bahy-don sort of woman, and
The Washington herald., 1918-06-14

she tries TO make an imitation 0aby
doll of herself. She gets herself up
in silly little fluffy-ruffle clothes that
make her look like n mountain IN 4
state of eruption. and she tries to do
baby-doll tricks-curl up on her fo"t
in the corner Of a sofa, and jump
around like a kitten, which sic does
with all the airl grace Of a trained
elephant. And that's where Clernen-
tina geLs off.
And there's Marion. Marion is a
sober minded girl. sweet and serious,
but she hasn't got a funny bone in
her whole anatomy. She's Intelligent
thoughtful, practical and efficient and
altogether the sort of girl that you'd
pick out for your favorite son to
marry. or as a companion for a long
journey for yourself.
That is the real Marion, but. alas,
in an evil hour Marion, who has no
sense of humor. met up with tenn
peramental young woman who had
champagne in her veins instead Of
blood and who was like q set Of
fireworks. The men were flocking
about this gay laughing young crea-
ture like bees about a honey pot and
Marion got the idea into her head to
be attractive to men girl must be
viva cious, so she began giggling and
screaming and registering hysteria In
every key, trying to be like the friv-
olous one.
And she doesn't know yet, poor
thing, why people fee at her coming.
for while We are all charmed with
spontaneous high spirits there is
nothing else on earth so deadly as
forced gaiety. Manufactured laughter
is the cracking of thorns under a pot
| Laboriously memorized jokes and
witticisms bore the hearer to tears.
Marion, her own solid and sensible
self, would be a delight. Marion try
ing to scintillate and be mercurial
gets on your nerves. And that's
where Marion loses out.
Then there's Anna. Anna comes
from the best people in a little New
England village. Anna has two hun
| dred years Of virtue behind her, and
was brought up to think that certain
things were right and other things
were wrong, independent of whether
you wanted to do them or not. Anna
had a conscience, but she hasn't
enough sense to know that a con-
science is a really interesting piece
Of brio a brac in these days-quite as
interesting as an inherited grand
fathers clock, and that it sets one
apart as being among the elect.
| No. Anna has come to the city,
and she thinks it makes her seem
provincial to be shocked at anything
and that to show that she is citified
she must pretend that she is little
less than abandoned. So Anna swigs
cocktails that taste to her like a mix
ture of hair tonic and epicac. and
she brags about having to have heI
morning eye-opener before she car
settle for the days work, and about
how many highballs she had last
night and she talks about subjects
with perfect freedom that decent peo'
pie don't mention in mixed company
and she lets men take familiaritie'
with her that makes her flesh creeI
and she flatters herself tht she's de
ceiving everybody into thinking she!

trick in his second marriage. I be-

Fate could not have made any
worse mess of things than he did
himself. 1 am tired of blaming
things onto poor fate. There is no
