Cosby rumbled in on the converse

Again l sensed that mysterious
something that seemed almost like
fear.
Isn't 1t time for a nap?" asked
Val, yawning elaborately, but with
keen, wideawake eyes fixed on her
husband. Suppose we go in for
rest, Cosby. II you'll be here in an
hour or so I'll give you tea, Jimmie.
And / suppose the energetic folks

Tom as Val swept Lane Cosby ava!

Tom Mason laid his hand on my

serenely as IL l hadn't stood in his
office only a fortnight before and
told him that he was an utter Gao

paint on a new barn.
Large numbers Of girls walking
squarely on their toes. with heels
thrown up by slender props nearly
as long as a clothes pin.
"Now. mother, 1 ask, which OF
these girls was yours? And, why
are you SO foolish?
To all plain and sensible men
the great majority of men. young
and old know that such abuse
of the natural beauty of young
girls is most disheartening; and, to
many, even disgusting.
ITS the style. Everybody's do
ing it and you can't stop it," Such
is the substance of the rejoinder
get from those who would in any
way defend the extremes in the
clothes of girls. or course, I am
writing here as plain. blunt man,
one of the millions who is too
busy to know very much about fine
style. But / think we are fairly
well agreed regarding the matter
in question-that vanity and su-
perficiality are marks OF ugliness
in young women, and that real
beauty must be consistent with a
certain degree of plainness and
modesty
Modesty, comcliness, sincerity,
plainness of dress and manner
happy tests and witicisms, a bit o.
coyHess and blushing in the pres
ence of young men-these are some
of the insignia of genuine beauty
in young girls; and such marks
affections of every sensible person.
How charming"-"so very gen
uine"-"Delightful to know her.

Everyone is in love with her"
Then, how would you like to have
your girl answer 10 one Of the fore
going characterizations? or course,
a league of the mothers of all the
girls acting together could quickly
and easily establish these appear
ances of beauty and worth among
their daughters. But do not wait
for the crowd TO act. Call your girl
to your side. Form heart alliance
with her. Tell her what I have
written here. Explain how she can
bring high credit to herself and
commendablc praise to you. Remind
her of that lovelier spiritual self
within and OF how its charms,
wreathed in modesty, will attract
the vast majority OF the better and
more sensible people.
II you can induce your young
daughter TO read one or two of
Anna Payson Calls books--"Thc
Freedom of Life" Power Through
Repose." &c.--shc will soon grow
ashamed of any such thing as cN-
treme vanity and immodesty in
dyess. Also, ~ your girl is so for

woman-perhaps her Sunday school
teacher--try to bring Il about that
this strong personality shall en-

important matter about which
am here pleading.
