Girls Today Miss Thrill of Grown-Up BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON “Size 16 or 52, style is much the sanjf,” reads a fashion headline. Everybody who can see already knows that. It seems to me it is one of the worst tricks we play on the girls, this thing of constantly stealing their stuff. You know, back in those terrible days when we wore long skirts and long hair, you could tell a married woman from a 14-year-old school girl a block away- When they played together the little maidens always begged for a sweeping skirt to dress up in and they all dreamed of the day when they would be grown up, too. Putting down one’s skirt and doing up one’s hair marked the definite transition from childhood to womanhood. There was never a thrill that equalled the one we got on the day when we went to our first party with our braids combed out and a coiffure like mother’s. Now these poor girls of ours have nothing that they can look forward to in the way of fashion. Their dresses are as short at eighteen as they tore at eleven. Their hair is cut at twenty as it was at five. Their clothes are made just about the same way when they go to their first dance as when they started to kindergarten. And that’s not all. They can’t devise anew mode or take up the most trifling innovation of fashion, but what their mothers and their aunts come right along and take it up, too. That’s nice for the older women, we may be sure, but don’t you think it’s rather tough on the girls? And that’s not all. We don’t even let them have a monopoly on dates any more. Whereas married women used to be definitely fixed in life and willing to relinquish the joys of the chase to forlorn maidens, now they are out looking for men almost as hard as the girls are. It’s high time we married women left some privileges for the girls. Now they get very shabby treatment at our hands. Instead of allowing them to enjoy unmolested their brief period of youth, we must be always sneaking up on them, copying their clothes and their hair cuts, aping their costums ond running off with their beaux-

TWO BENEFITED IN SAME FAMILY BY NEW KONJOLA English Ave. Lady Says “This Is the Best Medicine That Ever Entered Our Home.” “I know what Konjola has done for my husband, and recently I started taking this medicine myself, and no one can'speak more highly of it than ilban,” said Mrs. Edna Curry, well - known Indianapolis lady, living at 1426 English Avenue,

this city, in a statement which she gave in person just a few days ago to Tha Konjola Man at Hook’s drug stores Illinois and Washington Sts., this city, where he is explaining this medicine to large crowds each day. “I am indorsing Konjola because this is the best medicine that ever entered our home,” continued Mrs. Curry, “and I feel sure it is worthy of a trial by anyone who suffers. “I had a severe case of neuritis and stomach trouble. The pains were dreadful, caused from this neuritis, and at times I couldn’t move my arms. My shoulders would feel numb for hours at a time, and then at other times they felt like a thousand needles piercing every nerve from my neck to the tip of my fingers. Besides all this misery, I was having the worst kind of trouble with my stomach. I suffered with indigestion pains almost all" the time. My food would feel like a heavy rock in the pit of my stomach. My general health was in very bad condition. "My husband was ttie first to take Konjola, and then I was convinced to try'this medicine myself. I gave it a fair trial, and it certainly ended every ache and pain that I had. My arms and shoulders feel like they never had a touch of neuritis in them. I got wonderful relief from the stomach trouble. My food agrees with me perfectly and as a result, my whole system is more healthy. I never have a touch of indigestion. . “Any medicine that will do as much as Konjola has in my family is worthy of all the praise it is getting, and I strongly recommend it.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold by every Hook drug store in this city, and the best druggists of all nearby towns.—Advertisement.

Futility in Reforming Husbands BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Ethel Hays says, “The reason why so many marriages are failures is becaus'fe so many failures are married.” Neat, pithy, and to the point! And about as good logic as I ever heard. I have been reading 'of a woman with a penchant for reforming husbands. She had three to date. What happened to her was this: Having a good job and being able to take a chance that other non-self-supporting women would not have dared to take, she allowed herself the luxury of this peculiar kind of charity. Instead of adopting orphans she adopted husbands, one at a time, of course. She honestly did try to reform each one as he came along. But what was the use of being reformed? They didn’t want to be reformed. It was far more fun coaxing her for spending money. I have always stood up for the male. Few men benefit directly by wives who work, although the home and children may benefit. But there is a type of man who simply won’t work if someone will work for him, and I consider /the woman who makes three attempts at reforming ne’er-do-wells (simply because of her ability to look after

as an astringent; So many women have proved the value of Listerine as an astringent that we are glad to pass the good word along. The cost of Listerine compared to most astringents is very little, yet in effectiveness you would go a long way before finding its equal, especially for oily skins. Gently it contracts open pores, tightens sagging muscles, and leaves the face with a delightful sense of coolness. Perhaps you'd be interested in receiving our handy little free book of etiquette.

Life’s Niceties Hints on Etiqoet

1. Are there any rules to follow in giving a supper? 2. What should be served? 3. Must there be a hot dish? The Answers 1. No. Suppers are informal. 2. Almost anything. 3. No, but unless it is very hot there should baa hot drink. herself—and them—in case things go wrong, not too greatly in need of sympathy. Not so long ago few women would have dared to marry an idler, a 'drinker, or a waster, to reform him. She was completely at his mercy. If she did, however, and starved and suffered as a result, she had the sympathy of her friends. Now it is different. A girl takes her place in the economic world, and takes chances that her mother or grandmother would never have dared to take. Her independence makes it less necessary to be sure of the man she marries. To marry a man to reform him is probably not as hazardous as of yore, but to my mind it is more hopeless. A man who feels that his wife’s bread and butter do not depend on his conduct, isn’t likely to snap out of his vices in a hurry. And is it up to us to feel sorry for his wife?
