BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
MUCH of our modern life runs
along on the basis of rules or
regulations. AS time goes on, this
regularity will, in all probability, in
crease.
While regulations are necessarily
important for the ordering Of COM
plex society. they produce a certain
type of personality which makes reg
ularity annoying. Laws. rules, regula-
tionS, along with haunting fears and
devastating prejudiceS, all find sep
arate niche in the mind The av-
erage mind is a set Of compartments.
many of which fail to harmonic. Set
ideas and set reaction patterns tend
to create notion-tight sections-any
one will exclude the others.
The net result is personality
split of into sections. The man
thus regulated cannot be himself at
all times. Perhaps you have noticed
that some Of your friends are non
neutrality-suspicious. in the
sense that you cannot from day to
day say just how they will be feeling,
or how they will act II you happen
to experience this sort of thing in
one of your friends you may safely
put it down that the compartments
are not all IN tune for the time being.

Former Ugly
Duckling Is
Lost Type
No Excuse Today for
Girl to Lack Ability
to Win Beauty.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

DECADES ago there really and truly
was such a thing as an ugly
duckling. Born with straight hair or
crooked nose, or as the teeth formed
they became buck. There wasn't much
to do about it and there was no dis
counting or calling attention away
from the far-from perfect features.
Women efdn't have the style sense,
the makeup and color sense, and
above all that sense Of grooming that
goes such a long way to glamour.
II your skin happened to be coarse
grained heredity was blamed; II you
were inclined to be too heavy well,
wasn't it family tendency for gen.
erations?
Today, inherited or not, the handi-
| caps are shaken of somehow. 1t
takes grit, an unshatterable stick-to-
itiveness. Ugly ducklings transform
themselves into creatures that posi-
lively stun" cause knowing eyes TO
blink in amaZement. My own eyes
have seen it over and over again.
| On lecture tours I've had young
| girls come to me-girls you wouldn't
/ turn twice to look at (or maybe you
would-they were so far from the
lovely picture girls should be-. A few
months later (perhaps on my return
trip they'd come again. What a
magic change!
! There really is no excuse today for
girl not looking lovely Either she
is not sufficiently interested to learn
/ how she can make the most Of her
self; or, having learned, is not sufi-
ciently sincere to apply the lessons
It's sheer lazinesS and she who is so
lacking in will power deserves to re-
main in the background.
Look at the Movie Stars.
! Look at the material young girls
have to draw from. First, the shining
examples of the movie stars-precious
few of them actual beauties to begin
with, yet what they have made Of
/ themselves 1t seems to me that
those born not-exactly- beauties have
it all over those to whom Nature is
kinder. There's an element Of spur
and challenge in overcoming any little
handicapS.
Take your cue from the movie stars.
Work for beauty. Develop your per-
sonality. Work of the pounds or
add them. Cultivate a fair for the in
dividual (Which does not mean the
bizarre, mind you. Know how to
apply your makeup, know what COL
ors suit you best. Know the type Of
coiffure that Will set you off in a
crowd. Know how to minimize your
worst features, how to recognize and
capitalize on your good points. All
you need is the desire 10 do it-and
/ the will!

changes is an outfit consisting of five
pieces-a long monotone tweed casual
coat with matching skirt, short tai
lored jacket and skirt of checked ma
terial and plaid woolen scarf. Here
you can use the long brown coat with
the checked skirt, or the short checked
jacket with the plain brown skirt and
have all sorts of a good time until
you will have your friends guessing
whether you really have two skirts to
your suit, or whether they just could
not remember what you wore the last
time they saw you.
A bright, snappy three-piece suit
has a checked coat using dark blue,
yellow, white and orange over a
jacket suit of dark blue. A coat with
lots of gay color is plaid Of soft
brown, soft green and white with q
deep, fluffy collar of white wolf. An
other arresting coat is a wide herring
bone effect in black, white and red
with collar Of badger and a black
leather belt These bright novelty
effects are unusually attractive and
will be popular at the foot ball games
little later on in the season.
IN ONE shop they have rack sand
wiched in between the coats that
Is filled with those smart man.
tailored suits that business girls
simply adore to wear all through the
year. They say that they can hardly
keep the rack filled. they sell them
out so fast. These two-piece suits are
certainly ideal for the Office or for
general daytime wear. with their care
fully tailored details of collars and
pockets, and there IS such a variety
of materials and colors to choose from,
as well as styles. The COB suit is
quite outstanding with its vertical
breast pockets in addition to little
lower pockets, and this comes in navy
blue too, as we'll as other mixtures.
There are three types of backs to the
jackets, the bi-swing. the knife pleated
and the plain back, and there are
single and double breasted front clos
ings. With plenty of tailored blouses
and q heavy casual coat you will be
ready for any sort of temperature that
you may find, for you can add or
subtract until you are perfectly COM
Portable and look we'll all the while.
All of these tailored suits are priced
at $1695. I forgot to say that they
come in camel'S hair also, with a
more sporty touch than the other
materials.

i Va INV oAiS "AAA DN AAoRPy'
Not absolutely, for as an old friend
of mine once said to me: Husbands
are the most undiscovered nation of
people there is" and no woman can
tell beforehand what dangers and
difficulties Of character and disposition
she will meet in the strange land she
is starting to explore. There will
always be surprises for her, no matter
how carefully she has tried to sur
vey the unknown terrain. Always
( she will come across arid deserts Of
lack of understanding and sympathy
| that she had not dreamed Of existing,
volcanoes of temper that she had not
suspected, and where she had expected
easy going she will find hard sled
ding along rough road filled with the
pebbles of little aggravating ways and
/ habits.
But for all Of that, and despite the
fact that no marriage is quite the
colossal conglomeration of attrac-
tions and breath-taking thrills that
it is advertised to be and no husband
quite comes up to girls dream, still
and all any woman who keeps her
wits about her can form pretty good
idea of how Romeo. the lover, will
stack up as Romeo, the husband.
! A MAN does not deliberately put
on a show for a woman, as a
woman does for the man she wants
for a husband. He thinks that just
as he is he is the answer to any
maidens' prayer, and this gives her an
opportunity not only to judge what
manner of man he really is, but also
to figure out his possibilities as a
| husband.
Now, If I were a girl picking out a
husband, the first thing would note
about the boy friend would be whether
he suited my taste or not. 1t doesn't
make so much difference what sort
of a man a husband is as 1t does
whether he is the sort of husband you
like. So I should consider above
everything else whether I was salts
| fied with him "as is" or whether
thought would like him after made
number Of drastic changes In him.
Altering q husband Is as unsatisfactory
job as altering hat. Somehow they
never turn out right and always look
like heck.
I wouldn't kid myself into thinking
that I possessed some occult power as
miracle worker, so wouldn't marry
drunkard expecting to reform him,
or broken reed, expecting him to
turn into a sturdy oak that I could
cling to, or a lazy loafer expecting
him to suddenly become a go-getter.
/ would pick out, to start with, man
who didn't need to be made over.
One who had strength and character
and who could support family and
who would baby me instead of me
having to mother him.

NEXT, I would pay particular at
tention to a mans disposition, be-
cause that is what wife has to live
with and is what makes her happiness
or misery. Women are always COM
planning about being so surprised and
disappointed at finding out that their
husbands are cold or unappreciative,
or stingy, or grouchy, or what not.
But, my heavens, why didn't they ind

knew girl once who broke off her
engagement to most eligible young
man because she saw him beat a dog
almost to death for not coming at his
call. THAT is the way he would treat
me IL I were in his power" she re-
fiected. He is cruel and tyrannical.
He will expect his wife to cringe be-
fore him or jump when he speaks to
her. and as I don't care to be brow
beaten and terrorized for the next 40
years I'll have none of him."
Every man gives every girl he goes
with thousand tips as to how he will
treat his wife. Is he selfish? Does he
consider his own pleasure before hers?
Does he drag her to see the plays and
the pictures he wants to see instead
OF the ones she would prefer? His wife
is slated for the dOormat role. He
will trsmple over her and kick her
out of the way when she interferes
with his pleasures. She will never be
anything but an upper servant to min
lister to his comfort. He will eat the
white meat of the chicken and leave
her the back, and spend his holidays
playing golf while she wheels the per-
ambulator.
X
rs HE niggardly even during counting
days? Does he always say how
much cozier 1t Is to stay at home than
it Is to step out? He will make q hus-
band who will make the first of the
month when the bills come in q day
Of crucifixion for his wife. Is man
critical? Does he tell you that your
dress is too gay, or you use too much
rouge and lipstick, or that your
bridge Is rotten? Pass him up unless
you enjoy being hammered to a jelly
Is man always taking offense and
having to be jollied into q good
humor? If you marry him, you will
have to qualify for walking on eggs,
which is tiresome and difficult busi-
ness.
And If q man is a philanderer and
has way" with women. you don't
need any Sherlock Holmes to deduct
the fact that whenever he is out Of
your sight he will be chasing younger
and fairer ladies than you. and you
will be eating out your heart with
jealousy. Oh, it isn't SO hard to tell
what sort of husband q man will
make. He will be just like he is. only
o little more so.

The Old Gardener Saws 4:

Mildew often ruins the appear
ance Of gardens which contain a
large number of phlox plants. 1t
is possible, however, to control
mildew reasonably well by dust
ing the plants every week with
dusting sulphur. 1t is important
to use the very fine sulphur OBJ
tanned at the seed stores and not
the coarser kind sold by the drug
stores. 1t is equally important to
cover both the lower and the
upper surfaces of the leaves.
This can be done by using bel
lows or one of the new dusting
guns which has a device for
throwing the contents upward.
The careful gardener will make
a point of picking off phlox
blooms before they go to seed.
Otherwise he will have some un-
pleasant colors in his garden next
year.

This does not mean that you are
actually unable to procure the kind OF
poultry you wish at almost any season
of the year. With the possible excep-
ton of the more luxurious geese, tur-
keys, guineas, etc, you may be able
to purchase what you wish in any
month. But the chances are that 1t
will be cold storage or that the cost
will be nearly prohibitive, so that If
you are fussy about those things 1t
is better to stick to the chicken or
duck. or whatever it is that Is most
plentiful in local markets at the time.
*
INCIDENTALLY have been told on
good authority that this year tur-
keys will be found among the less ex-
pensive meats. There is said to be
at this time a greater number of tur-
KEYS in cold storage all over the coun-
try than there has been for years, and
so we may look forward to a good
turkey dinner oftener than usual this
Winter.
Milk-fed poultry commands higher
prices than the regular farm-raised
variety. The meat is tenderer and
more delicate, but for those who have
to count the pennies in the food
budget very closely the ordinary chick
en- will do just as WE'LL
The old fanaticism against cold
storage poultry is rapidly disappear
ing. I am glad to say. AS a matter OF
fact, when certain classes of poultry
are out Of season the cold storage va
riety Of that class is to be preferred
Fresh Summer fowl is often inferior
to fowl dressed and stored during the
Winter months. Roasting chickens
after the month of January are not
half so tender and fine as those stored
in the early Winter.
So literally you can "pay your
money and take your choice" But il
is we'll to know how to govern that
choice.
