Has Your Girl
Personality?
BY DR.. VIM. A. McKeever.
- ARTIES, pink teas and pifhe;


parties, pink teas and piffie--.
that is the thin, pale stuff
with which too many well-to-do
parents today permit their young
daughters to while away the pre-
cious hours.
While tens Of thousands near
about are hungry and homeless:
while hundreds Of thousands at
home are struggling for advantage
through sweat and swelter: while
millions abroad are out today TO
destroy the world with the sword.
I find many potentially good
young girl content to seek nurture
for her aenemic soul on parties.
pink teas and piffc. And the in
dulgent parents are to blame.
Why not grant your girl the
happy privilege of becoming ra-
diant personality? Why deny her
the right to be human and to par
take OF the experience common to
the mass of the inhabitants of this
charming old imperfect world? The
earth is filled with people who
mingle labor with laughter. suffer
ing with singing. weakness with
worship, and privation with prayer.
Would it not be a challenge. would
II not really humanize her. il your
charming sixteen-year-old daugh-
ter were weaned from her bottle
feeding and thrown out for few
rounds with that great whirl Of h,yr
man events which either makes the
weak strong or drives them to the
point OF despair?
IMAGINED INEQUALITy.
It is not merely a deep wrong
to your own young over-protected
daughter that you feed her on
mere social sweets and deny her
the experience of being gloriously
common and human. But other
girls OF her age, seeing her sup
posed advantage and envious OF her
misjudCcd position; will hate her
and you and the world because of
the imagined inequality. It is a
terrible thing for one TO be thus
despisod by his fellows.
1t would be far better for your
sixteen.year-old daughter to serve
her apprenticeship as hotel
waitress. a laundress or a guarded
helper in good home, than for
her to spend all the long summer
periods and the other vacation
hours in slipping butterfly sweets
with vacant minded and vain pro-
fessional ilders. Almost any Of tho
rigorous industrial disciplincs will
tend to make her human. and, IL
may be, part way, divine.
AVOID STUPID INACTIVITY.
Begin early to introduce your
girl in mild degree to the pains,
the privations and the sorrows
which are so necesssry-along with
the pleasures, the joys and the tri-
umphs--to make all the world akin.
The very sweets themselves must
In time turn to bitterness unless
they be tinctured again and again
with trial and error, stress and
strain and those other deep ex-
periences which furnish the tone
and fiber for the maturcd person
ality.
Once she becomes thoroughly
awakened out OF her soft idly
dreams OF social vanity and Is
turned itno the broad pathway OF
stirring human endeavor. your
happy daughter can never no in
duced to go back to the stupid old
way Try her out and see.

and new frocks and hats and
wraps.
Have you ever stepped out on a
chilly day in the early fall. wearing
your last f-the-season frock, OF
flmy fncness. only to feel so out
of IL all in the way of smart clothes
when almost every one is frocked
and hated in those dark colors OF
autumn? And yet, perhaps. you
have a serge or tricotine frock from
last season that would be quite pre-
sontablc il you could only add
bright new touch to II.
1t is surprising what clever lit
tie notes may be Introduced to a
passe frock that will bring 1t quite
up to the minute. For instance.
most OF the better frocks for early
fall street wear show a gay touch
OF embroidery. beads, or vivid
touch of duvetyn in the way of
trimming.
One frock of the chemisc type
that was beautifully embroidered
was from last year. and was a bit
too sober for style. There was
added to this a roll collar OF rasp-
berry red duvetyn, and the sleeves
were cut off at the elbow and were
duvctyn. Although this little frock
was amply supplied with all the
good things OF the season, il per-
sisted in lovely girdle of fiat rcd
wooden beads, linked together and
hanging in "A swinging chain from
the left hip.
sNARTNEss TO 4 NARROWER.
But the most unusual make-over
that | have had the good fortune
to witness was originally a chemise
froCk of sand-Colored triCotine, with
a rather tight skirt. The skirt was
slashed at intervals up to the waist
line, and there was a foundation
underskirt of dark brown satin.
Tho over-sections were then bound
in satin and caught under and fas-
tened TO the underskirt, harcm
style. 4 wee collar and short
sleeves daintily cuffed in satin were
also attractive notes, and broad
sash of the satin looped its way
about the hips. Thus was a simple
frock of no distinction turned into
one OF irresistible smartness.

FOA'S TJfE.ATER.

\ very good show at F'ox's for the last half of the week is the prom isc "t the management, with Mabel Nor mandS latest production, Pinto" as the feature picture; Pearl White in the thirteenth chapter of The Black Secret. a Sunshine comedy, Mutt and Jeff, PIizn1a natural color reel and TWO big vaudeville acts on the four act bill Mabel Normand is without a doubt one Of the best attra ctions in the screen world and the film Pinto is a fitting vehicle for her versatile talents. It is q charming story with plenty of action. The story was writ ten especially for this charming young star and consequently she fits in per fectly with the character of Pinto. q high spirited ranch girl who is left by her father in the care of five of his old pals. They are all cattIemen from neishboring ranches, who love and adore the girl. They send Pinto on |. visit to Pop Aubrey, who resides iil the east. from no choice of his own but for the reason that his wife is q social clim Der. On Pinto's arrival she ignores the girl entirely. Pinto learns that Mrs. Aubrey is not all that wife should be but she decides not to let the secret out until Mrs. Aubrey be- comes too obnoxious. and then Pinto lets the story out with the result that the old cattleman pulls his stakes for the Wide-Opcn along with the girl. With them goes Bob De Witt, a young New Yorker. who pretends to be in terested in ranch life. but whose real interest is in this breezy western maid and let it be said that Pinto. though in accord with the boys desire. gives him d fine chase. A vaudeville pro- gram of more than usual importance and entertaining value is also q, big part of the program. There are two big acts featured on the four act bill. COnlDany
