Are these women among your
acquaintances?
The oily woman. She pours
into your presence bending at the
knee like manneQuin nodding
continually, always saying Yes"
She yeses everybody upon every
occasion. And she never allows
herself to be caught without a
smile. Sometimes you think that
IL only you could irritate her you
might find out il there is any
thing solid in her personality.
The porcupine. She goes
through life with her elbows out
and her jaw at an angle and
puts her heels down hard when
she walks and her voice has a
rasp like a file on rusty metal.
The world is all wrong and she
knows it and has no intention of
keeping the knowledge to herself.
And you know that whatever you
say will offend her. so you avoid
her as much as you can.
The ambitious woman. Every
thing is fish that comes to her
net-something to grab. She loses
no opportunity to ingratiate herself
where 1t will mean advance and
usually it is social advance she
Graves, though any sort of power
pleases her. You see her conniv-
ing and plotting and maneuvering
and wonder what If anything In
her is sincere.
The gossip. Now / wouldn't
have you repeat what I'm going
to say, for goodness knows
wouldn't make trouble for any
one, but" The destroyer of
regulations, the wrecker of home
and health and happiness. A
dangerous and despicable charac-
ter.
The peace-maker. The gentle
voiced, sweet-eyed, unassuming
woman whose presence is like a
benediction and whose words fall
like jewels. Not too many of her,
but we all may learn to be like
her.

a still stronger argument in favor
Of girls being trained to earn a
good living in case of need. For
any girl who marries faces the
possibility of later on facing the

is just possible, you know, that
she loves to have them with her
because she herself, Is childIess.
In that case, let them remain.
By all means take up business
course evenings in stenography
or any other line of work in
which you could excel. Prepare
yourself to earn a larger salary.
Make the most Of your Sundays
and evenings with the children,
and be grateful that they are in
kind hands the rest of the time.
Keep your little apartment. If
you can't gives you the feeling
of home for yourself and the chill
den.
There is no disloyalty whatever
In second marriage. In fact, the
young widow who marries again
proves that her first husband did
not embitter her against men.
and her willingness to accept the
companionship and protection of a
second husband may be the finest
tribute to the first. But do not
count on romance. Find happi.
ness through your children.

Blue Eyes, you are really engaged
to your friend, but the engage
ment is not announced. Under
these circumstances, I agree with
you. it is kind and considerate,
and in keeping I am sure, with
your natural inclination, not to
accept invitations from other
young men. Your fiance win be
happier, doubtless. If you do not
go about with others. He has
proved his love for you by asking
you to accept his engagement
ring, and you and he have pledged
your lives to each other.
1t is a little lonely, living so
far away from a fiance, but
little loneliness is preferable to
hurting love, is it not? And I am
sure your fiance will do as much
for you.
This is, of course. only a sug-
gestion, because it sometimes hap

Virginia Valli Tells
How to Captivate

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.-The SO fore
most movie directors find through
their experience with the pictures that
beautiful skin is the surest road to
popularity for any girl. AS Lewis
Milestone, prominent director for Para
mount, expresses it: "Smooth, exqui-
site skin is more captivating than any
thing else about girl"
Virginia Valli knows that exquisite
skin plays the largest part in a woman's
power to touch the heart, on the screen
and off. Like 442 of the 451 important
actresses in Hollywood, she cherishes
her lovely skin with Lux Toilet Soap.
She says: ''I do enjoy using Lux Toilet
SOAP. I delight in the marvellous vel
yety way it leaves my skin" Nine ont
of ten screen stars use this fragrant tOhtte

have made it the official soap for their
dressing rooms.
