Life-The Great Mirror

There was once n woman who loved
her mirror because it gave back to her
face that was beautiful to look upon
and attracted many. smoothing her
way wherever she went.
Always she kept before her the glass
which gave her a great sense of power.
And to please it. she spent every
thought on enhancing her loveliness.
And every moment.
No time was left for work or care
for others or filling her life with more
important things.
AS the years went by more hectic

Summer is the time to plan autumn
flower planting. The best time TO study
plants Is when foliage has reached its
full size and plants are in bloom.
Home builders who are not acquainted
with the different kinds of plants will
find no better way of becoming so than
by making a study of them in parks and
on lawns. BY making lists of the kinds
Of flowers liked best. the problem of Sc
lecting later is made easier. In this way
some idea of the plants that thrive In

In the scenarios OF 10000 women
submitted in a contest conducted by a
large Chicago newspaper, the basfful
hero outnumbered the bold and fear
less one eight to one, according to
James Shryock, director of the com
petition.
This was a revelation to the judges
who were famous authors, directors,
educators, dramatic critics and actors
he said. They, with conventional
literary opinions believed women in
real life worshipped the leonine. dash
ing, confident type Of hero, choosing
him for her husband when his assur
anee and possessive manner had cap
tured her heart
But the stories showed unmistak-
ably that women, when given chanc
to express their real likes and dislike
-, did in this contest, many Of
them writing under non de plumes,
prefer the stammering, wistful
abashed lover rather than the cave
man type" .a...a t.

tinction between timidity and fear,
Sh-sck said. The great majority of
heroes We're retiring in manners and

This was attributed by some judges
to the fact that women prefer being
worshipped TO being mastered. Others
were Of the opinion that this showed
women want husbands who would be
too bashful 10 flirt with other women.
Shy men don't desert their wives, they
said. Still others declared this signi-
