Harsh statements linger in the

YOUR BEAU TY

ness on the feet comes the mental
recipe wide-awakeness.
You may have heard it said OF
a certain great actress that when
she walks she hardly touches the
earth. Now, this distinguished
actress may or may not take exer-

one thing, mentally she is alert.
Her thoughts reach ION tip-toes,"

staBtly open 10 new. fresh impress

her mental horizon and keeps her

Such a mental condition brings
with it physical grace. It is the
half sleep, the bored, the self
absorbed or uninterested-henc

bers along heavily and awkwardly
through life. A wide-awake, in
terested woman moves lightly and
alertly.

requisite is quick intelligence

claims he loves the girl and
intends to marry her. He is
working, while she is not work
ing at present. The girl thinks
lot Of this man, and does not
know what to do. DORIS.
TNHE man is selfish and utterly
- lacking in pride. The girl
must not lend him money. He
will not be grateful to her, but
will recant the fact that she en-
couraged him in what he must
realize Is a contemplate attitude.
She must take a firm stand, and
IL the man. does not show more
character, and greater considera-
ton for her, the only way to
retain her happiness ia to break
with him.
