THE RIGHT TO BE BEAUTIFUL

I can hardly live with her,, re-
marked Mrs. Ray to her friend,
Mrs. Brown. People are always
saying how pretty she is and when
she receives a compliment or hears
remark about her beauty she
acts so naughty and affected. She
is simply losing her sweet ways.
"Just the other day she was
with Mrs. Maborn and the baby.
Someone stopped them and began
talking about the baby's wonderful
eyes. Mary Jane, having received
no special attention, broke into the
conversation with, But her eyes
are blue. Just look at mine; they
are brown Mrs. Maborn and her
friend thought it funny, but was
mortified"
"Have you ever tried telling her
yourself that she is pretty?" asked
the friend. 81 had the same trouble
with Betty May. She was older
than Mary Jane. didn't know
what to do. / couldn't tell her she
wasn't pretty for she was and
could see it for herself. Besides,
if / had she would have thought
my Judgment at fault or else con-
sidered me unfair, and her friends
would have seemed more depend
able than her mother. I studied
the problem carefully and decided
I would be frank with her.

Alexander, TheVenow. Southworth
and others were acclaimed by the
multitude of fans who came to
show their appreciation of the team
that brought the first world cham

The question whether or not Billy

win be answered tonight at Kenil-

Young Jack Dempsey, leading chal-
lenger for the worlds welterweight

They will step II rounds to a de-

Dempsey is probably the highest
rated boxer that ever climbed
through the ropes at the outdoor
arena. Matchmaker Miller did not
want to get Drake licked, but the
Germans manager wanted the best
welter obtainable. Vince Dundee
and Hugh Sweeney both turned
down the offer to box Billy. So
there must be some real class 10
the little German when these two
refuse to have anything to do with
his game.
