BROAD SHOULDERS AND NARROW MIND Sympathetic Man Better Than Athletic, Says Martha Lee to Inquiring Reader. By Martha Lee Some years ago, one of those criminal specialists, Lombroso by name, came over to America and pitted his wits against certain wise members of tlie New York police and detective force.

He Insisted, this man, that he could tell a criminal merely by Poking at him —by the bone formation of the man. Well, he couldn't. It was so positively proved that he couldn’t that Lombroso retired In confusion end little has been heard from him since. One of the country’s best-known philanthropists, a man who has devoted his whole mature life to good deeds, has the face of a brigand, and, of course, we’ve all known folks we couldn’t trust who had countenances with an angelic stamp. All of which Is to say that the physical and mental don’t always match up, and one has to look further than the outer man before drawing character conclusions. Shoulders and Dispositions Dear Martha Lee: Don't you think It is better to marry a man with a broad mind and narrow shoulders than a man with a narrow mind and broad shoulders? I was engraved to a young man who had a perfect physique. Somehow I love that. But he was as narrow in his opinion as he could be. His mind was a one track one. Wa could not get along because of it. Now I am going with a young man whose consideration of me is wonderful. He always sees my point of view, and would sacrifice any thing for me, I like him very much, but I can't help notice how thin he is. how narrow his shoulders. I guess it is all because I have been so used io the extreme in the other. Don't you think, though, that in time that attraction for the athlete will wear oft? Isn’t mv nerw friend the far better one of the two? PERTURBED. I think you have done wisely In changing your allegfence, Miss Perturbed. Narrow shoulders can bo broadened by outdoor life, athletics, eto., but a narrow mind Is usually not to be reached. The strongest element of a narrow mind Is that of self-righteousness. Its opinion Is the "last word” In everything from domestic to state matters. You’re forunate In finding the narrow-shouldered, fine-natured young man you describe. Encourage him to adopt some form of athletics.

Saint and Sinner By ANNE AUSTIN

Faith, cutting thin slices of her newly baked peanut butter bread and pruned nut bread, for the Inevitable “refreshments” to be served later, smiled a little wistfully as the shrill clatter and clamor of girlish voices penetrated to the kitchen. She ached to Join them, to ladgh loudly, to thrill her own comments, say daring, • clever things that would make them laugh. But she knew sadly, that when she did join them there would be first a constrained lull, then a renewal of the clatter, a tightening of the circle of intimacy outside which she would stand, hurt. "But Bob loves ipe,” she whispered to herself. "Bob didn’t choose one of those bright, laughing, pretty little things. He chose me. My darling Bob!” "Gimme a stuffed olive, Faith, ’fore you cut ’em all up for the sandwiches,” Joy pressed close against the kitchen table, her sharp gray eyes watching with greedy Interest. “After that big supper you ate?” Faith ansrewed automatically "Here you can have one of the nicest sandwiches I’ve made.” And because she was so happy in her secret knowledge of Bob’s love, she bent and kissed the tip of Joy’s little freckled snub nose.^ "I think you’rq-prettler’n anybody In the world,” Jo*told her suddenly, looking up at Faith with something like awe In her sharp eyes as if she were seeing her sister for the first time You’re all slnny In your eyes, like you knowed a secret you ain’t gonna tell—three little niggers In a peanut shell!’’ she chanted, "Not prettier than Cherry?’’ Faith laughed with a deep note of Joyousness. "Yeah, heaps prettier than Cherry,” Joy nodded solemnly, as she crunched her Irregular, pointed little teeth into the thin, dainty sandwich. "Cherry’s like a Christmas tree —you know glittery and sparkly—and showy-off. But you—you’re ezackly like one of our Perry pictures we bought at school for fifteen cents. i Joy blushed ldchly at the enormity * of her own self-revelation, but Faith wise In the ways of children, took it casually, so as not to embarrass or frighten her suddenly articulate little "That’s the nicest thing anyone ever said to me, money. Now you can lick the bowl. If you’ll wash up for me. I’ve got to go put on my bridesmaid dress. We’re all going to dress up, Just es we’ll be on the night of Cherry’s wedding, you know, and If you’ll hurry and finish up In here, you can see us. But then you must go right off to bed.” As she had expected, the Joyous, excited clamor In Cherry’s bedroom died down when she appeared at the door. But they did not Ignore her. "We’ve Just been going Into positive spasms over Cherry’s trousseau,” Selma Pruitt said. "She has bo many gorgeous things that Frances and I are trying to split It three ways and get married, too. All we laok are the men!” And the three rocked with laughter. "Let’s dress!” Cherry cried, when the tumult had subsided. "My dress Is In my room,” Faith made herself heard over the hubbub of voices. *TII dress and be out In a Jiffy.” Selma and Frances were tugging at string's about gigantic suit-boxes, which contained their bridesmaid dresses. "Make it snappy, old dear!” . gelma called out shrilly. Faith’s fine body had been reduced five pounds by the strenuousness, the worry and excitement of the past two months, and It was a figure almost Blender enough to be called willowy that was soon encased In the gold-colored taffeta. The soft rich taffeta was exactly the color of the California poppy—a rich, pure, golden yellow. In contrast was the deep bertha s>t sliver lace, w \

Girl Friend Interferes Dear Martha Lee: I went with a fine Rirl for two and a half years. Some months ako we parted over an Insignificant matter. There was a girl I objected to her going with, as this girl was like a snake in action and in fact. Now this girl I don't like gets dales for my girl. They are fellows I wouldn’t be seen in the .pen with, but I still think my girl is 0. K. Sometimes she talks to me on the street and I have asked her to marry me. but she has given mo no reply. tvhat shall I do—forget her? The months I have been parted from her seem like years. WILLIAM M. J. Your lot is surely cast among stones and thorns. I fear this girl of whom you think so much and whom you are willing to make your wife, does not possess the sterling qualities you think she has and I much doubt that she cares for you. It Is quite unlikely that she would let this girl friend separate you and make dates for her. Looks like she Is just making the girl an excuse to protect herself from your attentions. To satisfy yourself, however, see her once more, insist that she be honest with you and explain her real attitude. If she hedges it will show she’s not "sold” on you and you’d best set about her to forget her. Shall She Bob? DeaT-Martha Lee: I have never had my hair bobbed and It’s very thin and straggly. What would you suggest ? Some say that I should have it bobbed, but I don't like the idea. Do you think bobbed hair will over go out or style? Does ft hurt the hair to have It shingled? J. G. I believe that bobbing your hair would be good for it. Shingling improves, rather than harms hair. Yeß, bobbed hair will go out of stylo in time, I believe, because we have record of no style of clothes or hair dress that has every stayed In permanently', I think bobbed hair will be In a very long time and you will have opportunity to shingle and grow back your hair many times, before bobbed hair Is passed.

broldered with seed pearls. The full skirt was exaggerately bouffant with concealed hoops, making her waist look even more slender than it was. The taffeta skirt was cut short halfway between knee and ankle, a wide band of the silver lace finishing It off, and bringing Its length almost to the tips of her brocaded gold slippers. Through the meshes of the silver lace came the shimmer of gold silk stockings. Over the warm Ivory of her face and arms Faith dusted an almost unnecessary film of pear-tinted powder, then deepened the bow of her generous mouth with her new darkred lipstick. Over her sleek hair, parted In the middle, brought low over the ea;s and looped In a rich, dark coll on the nape of her neck, she fitted the large-brimmed, drooping hat of silver lace, Its crown encircled with large, golden California popples. Self-consciously, because she had never, In all her life as a household drudge, expected to wear such magnlflcece, she tip-toed softly to Cherry’s door, and pepped in upon the others. And In the radiance of Cherry’s beauty, dressed In her wedding gown, Faith entirely forgot herself. (To be Continued). (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)

Until a girl settles down, Pop settles up.

WOMEN WILL REFORM IF MEN WISH Just Let Enough of Male Sex Leave Miss Bold Alone. By Mrs. Walter Ferguson. A man In Sim Francisco says that when women cut oft their hair and wear frocks, they are traveling tinder the banner of that most ancient of the professions of women. A moral woman, says he, might do these things and still remain moral, but she has put on the uniform and insofar Is lending her aid to that Immorality. This sort of stuff sounds impressive. To hear some of these men hold forth you would Imagine that they are vastly concerned about morals and Indeed they are—the morals of women. They forget that if reforms ar© In order a mighty good place for them to start Is among themselves. It would be the ei dest thing In the world to get tha women back to their old-time modesty again If the men really wanted to try It. Just let enough of their sex leave Miss Bold alone and she would speedily emulate all the virtues of the modest maiden. Men, however —and the moderns are a lot like those gentlemen of old, so far as this points Is concerned —have always written poems to the pure and spent most of their time with the other kind. Octavla, we are told, was a noble woman, blessed with all the feminine virtues, but that did not deter Antony from leaving her for Cleopatra, whose record was not so good at the time. I wonder how far a young girl would get these days if she put on ankle-length skirts and left off the rouge and lipstick? She would probably end up as somebody’s hired girl. Certainly she would stand no more chance of getting a beau than a marble statue. She could practice modesty until the heavens fell,, and she would probably practice It without having a man sue for her heart and hand. If the modern man honored modesty with his heart as much as he does with his lips, this would be our chief virtue! For after all Is said and done, rnen are our superiors in power, 7 and aggressiveness, and the women of any nation are always as the men of that nation would have them be.
