ARE PRETTY GIRLS SERIOUS?

Are pretty girls serious: What do
you think? Every once in while
discussion comes up among my read
ers and some of them seem to treat
the question as though it were of
great importance. Strangely enough,
the question never interests the pretty
girl or the homely girl, but mostly the
man who is an admirer of beauty but
who seems to suspect the beautiful
woman of frivolity.
What do l Think" one young man
wrote me yesterday.
Frankly l don't know. There is no
reason why the pretty girl shouldn t
be as sensible, as practical and as Sc
rious minded, as the one who is not
blessed with SO much personal at
traction. I do think that most of the
training given to pretty girls is not
of a sort to make them serious. They
are apt to be spoiled when they are
babies and too much admired when
they are children. They are fed upon
compliments and often given too much
flattering attention at an age when
they are susceptible to such things.
Since the homely girl rarely gets so
much attention, she has much more
time to give to serious pursuits. Yet
= nave known many pretty girls VINO
were serious and practical enough to
satisfy the most severe critic. And
have known great many girls with
out an element of personal attraction
or charm who were inerdinately con-
ceited.
So there is the problem Gf it is a
problem) as l see it. Every reader
will base his or her judgment upon
his or her own experience. I would
rather like to think that pretty girls
could be serious if they chose, for
prettiness is apt to fade while the
more serious qualities of life are al
ways an asset.
But, after all, if girl is pretty
enough she is such an ornament to
Pretty girls are usually as serious
minded as homely ones.
the world that she fulfills her whole
mission simply by being pretty, and
adding to the beauty and joy of life.

Heart Problems

"T AM CONSIDERED cookbook.
ING" is probably the most aggravat-
ing and disgusting expression found
in my column. 1t does not convey a
picture of an attract girl in the
least degree. Instead one pictures a
silly girl who hasn't sense enough to
realize her own limitations.
IF I printed the statement as often
as it occurs in the letters sent to me
my readers would become so bored
with the column that they would re-
solve never to look at it again. Very
often | print the expression because it
carries with it the character of the
girl and softens the readers attitude
toward my more or less brutal answer.
1t is a failing of human nature to
sympathize with oneself Fortunately
plain people rarely realize how plain
they are. They love flattery and
glorify their own imperfections. When
a girl writes a letter without trying to
impress upon the readers the fact that
she is "good-looking." she seems far
more beautiful than the girl who has
SO little delicacy that she advertises
her vanity.
In a personal letter to me, a young
woman stated that she realized when
she was about fourteen years old that
she had not one feature which could
be called beautiful. Even her nature
was sullen and irritable. She was so
discouraged with herself that she
wanted to die. Then an encoura ging
thought came to her: she resolved to
be kind and sweet. At first it was
hard, but out of desperation she con-
quered herself and learned to close
her lips tight when she was angry and
to sing when she was sullen. The
woman's letter was not all about her
self. She was writing to see how far
| thought it would be advisable for her
to help a poverty-stricken family
When I finished reading the letter, I
felt that I had come in touch with a
beautiful and charming personality 1t
seemed pity that | could not make
her letter public so that others could
feel her charm.

Chapter "A.
WHEN BUD CAME.

We were restined not to go on very
much longer in our quiet and unevent-
full way of living. But for awhile
there was peace-the peace that goes
before the storm.
81 don't understand why Bud doesn't
come so much" vi confided one eve
ming 1t was getting quite chilly out
of doors now. and our little living
room with it's low shaded lamp, looked
very warm and coy.
There was one thought, of course,
that was always in her mind. 1t was
that Bud might tire of her, or that he
might find someone else more attrac-
tive. But she rarely spoke OF this.
Tonight Toby Markham came in,
and later Helen joined us. The four
of us sat about the little antique table
in the living room, playing BRIDGE
was learning this, too, as well as dane
ing. And the science of this highly
complicated game interested me in
tensely.
We were busily playing when the
bell rang and Bud came in.
I'm awfully late, it's 10 O'Clock, "
he apologized "But l saw lights in
the window, and risked it,
He gave Toby not particularly
friendly glance, as we went on with
implish, delightful grin at her. Toby
and vi won the rubber, and Toby put
his hand over the table to shake
hands at their victory. He held Wis
hand an instant too long, grinning his
impish, delightful grin at her. Toby
was one of the merriest souls in that
part of the city.
Helen glanced from this little tab
leaux to Bud with the most amused
expression. Then she looked at me
to see whether l alo had noticed it.
Bud certainly looked gloomy enough !;
he looked, as a matter of fact, tired
to death, and the sight of Toby hold
ing Wis hand, even for second,
brought a scowl to his face.
Shall we make some hot coffee?''
he asked I'm all in"
vi rose at once always glad when
she could do something to please Bud.
But Helen had other plans.
81 was just going to suggest it, she
announced. l brought over some cold
chicken from the restaurant, it's all
cut up. We will have some chicken
salad. Take Toby along-he makes
such nice dressing for salads"

she knew it too, in spite of frequent

it left her little GREATNESS.

so low I could scarcely hear it,
There was all the pleading in the

1t was the irresistible plea. A
