Men are supposed 10 be more self
ish than women.
But from letters presenting their
angles OF triangular love affairs, IL
appears that as a rule men have a
finer sense of justice than women
and a broader comprehension OF an
involved situation.
Contrast these two paragraphs,
one written by a girl, the other by a
man:
Am eighteen and in love with a
married man and he with me. He is
ten years my senior and the father
of two children. He tells me he
wishes to divorce his wife. pay her
alimony and marry me, but she Will
not hear IL. He says his children
keep him away from me.
MY parents are doing all they
can to break up this thing, but /
doubt II il can be done. Haven't I
my right to my lover even If he did
marry another before he eve saw
me ?"
Let us pass over this selfish de-
fiance of the right with the recon-
mendation that the girl commit the
seventh commandment to memory
and apply 1t IN the larger way; and
then let Us consider a mans angle of
a similar problem:
Am a teacher and / live at peace
with my wife although / love a
young woman who is my assistant.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive ablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
Laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result OF DIR.
Edwards determination not to treat
yer and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
nat calomel does. but have no bad after
fleets. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold Of the trouble, and quickly correct
it. Why cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take calomel.
Let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take
its place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy
ceiling come from constipation and a
isordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards

mere mention of rouge brought dark
looks and gave rise to suspicion.
But not so any morei People real
ly r coming to understand that il
requires brain to keep faces and
hands youthful looking and that the
easier way is the ugly way.
So the art OF the face and hands
is with us to stay. But just as some
women never get their hats on at
the angle which really get their hats
on at the angle which really brings
out the nice line of their hair at the
back or the pretty curves of their
face, so some women never learn to
put the bit of powder and color on
to the best advantage.
Is your face one of those slim
delicate looking faces? And have
you been putting the rouge on in a
rather long streak on each side?
Mustn't do it! Give il a round effect,
rather wider than long and don't get
it up quite around the eyes because
that emphasizes the slimness.
If it's n OF those pretty. plump
round little faces that you have.
then get the color up pretty well
and don't let it cover much in width.
And your chin-don't get that too
