made a monster OF selfishness and ego
tism.
The beauty expects a man to spend
his life fiattrs ing her, humoring her.
and effaeing himself for her, and a
little of this goes a long way with
him. 1t is only women who have the
endurance to be perpetual incense
burners, and this is where the homely
woman has her innings.
Between the woman who admires a
man and the one who expects to be
admired; between the one who hangs
on a mans words with sympathy and
understanding, and the one who eX-
poets him to pay compliments to her
Cupid's bow mouth: between the wom-
an who tells a man what a wonder
he is, and the one who expects him
to tell her what a marvel she is, II
is easy to see who wins out. Also
why.
The homely woman who wins a
mans heart has a better chance OF
retaining it than the beauty has, be-
cause her charms are OF the endur-
ing kind, while the beauty's are evan
escent. Age has no terrors for the
homely woman. Indeed, it is oftener
her friend than her foe, for many a
woman who is ugly when she is young
Is beautiful when she is OLD. Lovely
thoughts in the process of years chisel
rough features into noble lines, and n
high serene soul shining through a
plain face radiates beauty divine.
Moreover, the woman who has
charmed a man by her Intelligence,
comprehension and sympathy can bind
him closer and closer TO her every
year. She understands him better and
knows more Of his needs. But the
woman who has won n man by her
beauty and who has no other hold
upon him is bound to lose out as her
beauty inevitably fades. There will al
ways be younger. fresher and fairer
faces who will appeal to his fancy.
She does business on constantly de-
creasing capital every year, and is
bound to go bankrupt in the end.
Except on the stage beauty is a
handicap rather than a help to the girl
who must earn her living, and even
on the stage. outside of show girls
and chorus girls whose looks are their
stock in trade, 1t is talent and not
puIchritude that counts.
Maxine Elliot goes so far as to say
that beauty is disadvantage to an
actress as 1t distracts the public's

and dozen other favorites of our day
could never qualify in the pretty girl
class. yet they hold us in the hollow
of their hands by the spell of their
genius.
Employers say frankly that no living
pictures need apply in their offices.
They want good. wholesome intelli-
gent looking girls who won't arouse
the jealously Of their wives, or dis
tract the attention of the men who
come to buy and sell from their
business.
As for the woman's own chance OF
happiness in life. beauty does not
secure it. Indeed, it is a malicious
rather than a beneficent gift of fate,
because it is the one thing that she
is bound to have taken from her. Per-
haps there is no more bitter tragedy
than that of the beauty who sees
time ravishing her of the charm that

its use you will find that the hair
dries quickly and evenly. is never
streaked in appearance and is always
bright. soft and fluffy; SO fluffy, III
fact, that 1t looks more abundant than
1t is, and SO soft that arranging 1t be-
