AdUice TO the LOUeIOrn

woman may have qualities more
important to her happiness than
beauty is.
A few days ago a girl Of Is,
whose name is Ann, wrote me
a very brave letter.
Ann has two older sisters who
are always being praised and
flattered for their good looks.
And nobody has ever admired
poor Ann. who has therefore
come to believe herself q sort
of ugly duckling.
She hasn't. however, grown
morbid or despairing.
On the contrary, she has
made out q modest list Of her
good points as she sees them
and she asks me to tell her
how, with these qualities and
without beauty, she can succeed
in life.
She wants an education. she
wants to earn her living in
some interesting way and she
wants to marry and have chill
dren. Is she disqualified-in' a
world where there is so much
talk of beauty?
My answer is that a girl who,
at is, has the courage to look
facts in the face: who admits
that her piquant little snub
nose and large mouth aren't
what is usually understood by
beauty, and who, nevertheless,
makes up her mind that she is
going to get something out Of
life, after all-has made a
pretty promising start. I be-
lieve she has as good a chance
as any other girl to win the
prizes of life, and I will explain
why.
In the first place, beauty
alone does not always compel
admiration. Beauty can seem
insipid or even tiresome unless
it is accompanied by charm or
gayety or wit. Whereas a girl
can, I honestly believe, dispense
with beauty altogether.

LARGE LIVING
ROOM IDEAS

When the living room is
large, rejoice and do not try
to take one inch from its size.
There is no such thing as a
room that Is too large. If it
seems that way, it has not been
properly furnished. For in
stance, we prefer a wallpaper
with a large pattern in it for
a large room-not because we
wish to diminish the size OF
the room but to make the back
ground proportionate to the
whole. Nothing that is large
should be made to appear ri
diculous with tiny accessories.
Another thing to remember
is to bring cozineSS to the large
room with sIRI groupings. A
large room Eay have as much
coziness anL livableness as any
other. A lamp, a chair and a
table are the essentials OF q
pleasant corner. This idea may
be expanded to include a dav-
export and fireplace in one
place, a grand piano and set
tee in another corner and q
writing desk, a lamp and a win
dow in another part Of the
room. With these comfortable
Gases, q unifying wallpaper,
bright hangings, the largest
room in the world can be nv-
able. And what is more a boon
to the universal instincts for
uncalculating hospitality?

than usually capricious. She
made it an excuse for self-in-
diligence.
While he was thinking this,
Ken had been idly driving
through the morning sunlight
along streets oddly deserted for
Sunday. Now he found, with a
leap of his heart, that he had
unconSciously been obeying old
habit. Half block away, was
Ardeth's hotel.
A othered excitement
stirred in his mind. The longing
to see her again swept down
upon him. II he could only roll
past the last few months. To be
again where he was before his
mothers illness. How many
times he had driven down this
street on a Sunday morning to
find Ardeth waiting for him
before the hotel.
Sitting here in the car with
him. slender and lovely. Golden
eyes meeting his own with such
warm frankness. Dear bright
hair-the joyousness of her.
His heart leaped and for a
moment he had the sensation
of moving through a dream.

OUR RHYMING
OPTIMIST

True Life
Count that not life which
, through unfruitful days
Flows like a sluggish river,
dull and dark,
Untouched by any gleam Of
sunlight's rays,
Unvisited by any outbound
bark.
Those currents move so slowly
to the deep
They bring no breath Of
waters fresh and free;
But seem almost unwillingly to
creep
Upon their journey to the
waiting sea.
Count only those swift freshets
that can bear
The spirit on an eager, mount

Past April meadows, through

Out to the singing ocean, deep
and wide.

LETTUCE IS
WELCOME

Lettuce is the chief salad in

be sure, there are other green
growing things that are used,
but not in the universal way
that lettuce is. And rightly.
for nothing is more beautiful
to look at, nor more delicious
to eat.
The fact that lettuce is OBJ.
tainable all year round allows
for it's use in salads and for
other dishes without thought
for time or seasons. There is
no time and no season when
it's crisp, cool greenness is not
welcome: and few meals where
its delicate presence is not
recognized as a prime neces-
sity, for it is not only refresh
ing and appetizing, but makes
a valuable contribution to a
healthful diet as well.
Every head Of lettuce is
really a package containing al
most q complete set Of the vita.
minis. There is Vitamin A,
and since the vitamin always
associates itself with green
leaves wherever they may be
found, the greener the leaf Of
lettuce the NOR Vitamin A you
may expect it to contain. Along
with Vitanin A there are vita
Minis B and C and D and e
in varying proportions in every
head Of lettuce. OF these Vita
