His>Iast Love

Dear Miss Lee: Is it possible that after an
interval Of four years, a man is still un-
able to forget a lost love that was not
worthy of him? / met q man about 1ve
me me- since. I have learned to like him, inn
mensely and would do anything for him,
yet he Is rather distant toward me. He
Intended to marry this girl, but she mar
and more chance of advancement. He
says he Is trying to forget her; don't you
think four years is long enough2 would
like to make him care for me; Is there
Dear optimist: No, 1 wouldn't
give him up at once. If, after you
have done all you can to give him
real love in place of a mystical
one, he still prefers his dream, then
would give him up. But I would
put up fight to save him from his
own folly first.
This first girl was evidently sell
fish. You be unselfiSh. Encourage
him to talk about himself. Admire
him (if you can consciensiously)
and make an honest effort to un-
derstand him. Let him talk about
the other girl all he wants to.
After while, he will become de-
pendent on you for sympathy and
for companionship, and if I am not
mistaken, he will find this very
welcome substitute for the misty
halo which he has placed around
the head Of selfish girl.

Dreams of
Lost LOUe
BY MARTHA LEE

Many men idealize an early love
affair, and endow the girl with
qualities which she probably never
possessed. The more time that
elapses, the more perfect the image
of the lost love grows until 30 flesh
and blood girl can compete with the
dream.
The best cure for such a condi-
ton is for the man to meet his
early love again. OF course, if it was
real love, based on mutual sympathy
and understanding, the meeting will
only fan the flame once more.
But in the majority Of cases, such
a meeting is a shock which wakes
the man up and brings him down
out of the clouds into the realm of
reality. When he finds that the
misty maid of his youth has grown
fat and nags her husband, he can
only heave a sigh of relief at what
he has missed.
One of our writer's tells story
of bachelor who never married be-
cause a nymph named Emily
blighted his life by marrying an
other man. Years later, in visit
to his old home, he met Emily again.
To his horror, she was banal and
uninteresting housewife, slightly
dowdy, with no conversational pow
ers whatever-a far cry from the
scintillating miss for whom he had
renounced a home and children of
his own!
The shock was severe, and upset
him for days. Too late he saw that
living in a dream is bad thing
when it shuts ones eyes to reality.

"The day has gone" Miss Tai
madge said, when a bride would go
through the whole love, honor and
obey ritual without cracking a
smile. The average girl makes al
most as much money as the man;
and with that independence has
come common sense.
mo girl with common sense will
permit the present antiquated mar
riage system to make her life mis-
cradle. Companionate marriage, in
which both man and wife have an
equal start down the matrimonial
stretch, unhampered by ancient
rites, is the goal which modern
women have attained by applying
common sense to their situation" p"
Knows by Experience
From her own experience, the
actress said, she has learned that a
girl can promise to love, honor and
obey man in good faith but when
the first blush of love is over and
bitter realities come up for settle
ment, it is preposterous to force a
wife legally to love a man who is
opposite to her temperamentally."
Personally I have come to this
conclusion-my next marriage will
be one Of love, because that element
is the most important factor; but it
will be marriage in which sponta-
neity and Sentimentality are negli-
gent factors, and common sense, real
sentiment and experience more i'm
portant Ones" she said.
Mentions Kitchen
Miss Talmadge doesn't want a
husband, she explained, "who mar
ries me through his admiration Of
me as an actress and then conceives
the notion that I would match the
interior decorations of the home bet-
ter if wore an apron or made the
kitchen my habitat"
""Fhat," she said, 'iS putting love
to too severe a test. Such an idea is
all right for professional cook and
those who like cooking. My mother
is very fond of cooking and so is my
sister Natalie. But I'm not a cook
really don't like the business OF
cooking as a career. I have been an
actress since I was fourteen. My

BEAUTY
HOW and WHY
TREATING LIGHT AND
DARK COMPILATIONS
BY ANN ALYSIS

Texture and coloring Of skin
make up what we call complexion.
There are two distinct complexion
types, blonde and brunei, and each
type has many gradations.
Blonde skin should have the most
equisite care, if the owner wishes to
retain its delicacy of quality and
coloring after reaching thirty. BY
that time the once rose-petaled
complexion is often drab and COL
orless, while the brunei, whose vivid
color has better withstood the dew
astating effect of the changing sea-
sons, is at the height of her beauty.
Both blonde and brunei who wish
to preserve their youthful complex
ion must exercise the utmost care in
bathing the face, never using hard
water, and discontinuing the use of
any soap that produces the slight
est drawing of the skin, for this
shows the withdrawal of the greatly
needed natural oils, which keep the
skin soft and plant. All traces of
soap should be Immediately removed
by rinsing. After gently drying the
face, the blonde, whose skin is apt
to be dry, should replace the de-
pleted natural oil by rubbing in a
very little cold or vanishing cream.
The brunei, if her skin be oily,
should adopt a different treatment.
She should apply a few drops of
diluted toilet water on a piece of
absorbent cotton to remove all ex-
cess oil, which when allowed to re-
main on the skin, makes it so un-
slightly.

Ter home with her people be-
cause of her changed view
point.
Contrasting the French and
american wife, Miss Dolby said:
The French wife is not expected
ID be a jazz hound or a statistic in
ne number of women in business
She does not go about without her
husband, and when she spends any
money she makes a strict account
ing to hubby.
Divorces rank much higher in
america than in France and prob
ably the dissatisfaction of the Amer
ican wife partially accounts for it.
French girls are brought up
much more strictly than American
Girls. They never go anywhere un-
chsperoned. I am going to France
next summer" said Miss Dolby, "and
il wish to buy a dress will have
to take my mother along. If wish
to go to a show the whole family
will escort me. A girl is never alone
with a man even though she is en-
Gagged to him. And if she kisses
him, it must be done with mamma
looking on. 1t simply isn't done
otherwise in France. There would
not be much kick in that accord
ing to American standards. When
I came to the United States, act
ually was afraid of men because
had never associated with them in
the free and easy way American
girls do.
"These things do not coincide with
the average American idea OF
French girls" According to Miss
Dolby, many of our misconceptions
were caused by the soldiers in the
World War. "Boys came to Paris on
a three-day leave, and of course, it
was impossible to meet the best
people in that length of time. Then
they went home and talked about
the wild French women. There are
two distinct classes Of girls in
FIance-the good and the bad. The
girls of the latter class do not pre-
tend to be anything else, while in
America you have girls in the best
society who are no better than
women of the streets and yet they
pretend to be otherwise.
international m arriageS, In
France, are a failure because Of the
different viewpoint that the sexes
have toward one another in the two
countries. OF one hundred inter
national marriages I know that cul-
minated as result of the war, none
OF them have been a success" yet
she said she would prefer an Amer
lean as husband in preference to
a Frenchman. The Frenchman is
more polished than the American,
but after really knowing the Amer
lean men one cannot help appreciate
their real worth, and they certainly
are good to their wives"
When asked about educational
systems in France, Miss Dolby said
co-education would certainly be
called a failure as there is no such
thing. Practically all the girls are
schooled in converts. France does
not believe in mass education"
Only the select go to school and
this probably is the reason that the
French boy of high school age is
better informed than the American
college student. In France students
go to college to study and not for
good time, she said.
Miss Dolby, who is an embodiment
of the Elusive word "chic," says the
French women are able to achieve
this with smaller expenditure of
money than an American woman
can. "They put little flower here,
and bow there" she said, using
characteristic French gestures.
