Notice Group of Wives; You ’ll Be Convinced Men Don’t Always Wed Beauty * BY MARTHA LEE PHYSICAL beauty is not the only thing that men marry for. Take account of any gathering of wives, and if you do not see all sizes and shapes, kinds and varieties, I miss-my g'*iess. In case nature has not endowed you with a beautiful physical frame, do not despair of matrimony, but cultivate some of the other qualities that men marry to possess.

Some men marry for a home. The male animal loves comfort, and a real home-maker is a good matrimonial risk. I mean a home-maker, not a housekeeper, who makes all of her husband's friends welcome, and is not too fussy about cigar ashes. Some men marry a. good cook. The old platitude that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, has a grain of truth in it. Although food is not an emotion, it is a necessity, and cooking is an art that a would-be wife should not neglect. Other men marry because they need mothering, and mothering is an accomplishment entirely independent of physical pulchritude. The maternal instinct at its highest ebb has a beauty that transforms the most homely exterior. After all, there is very little real beauty of physical form among human beings, and the sage who said that “Pretty is as pretty does,” knew what he was talking about. She Is Large Bear Mtss Lee: I am a girl of 17 years and considered good looking. But what fives me the blues is that I am so large. weigh nearly 200 pounds and am 5 feet 10 inches tall. I crave good times, but as I am so large I have no boy friends. Would you reduce or not? If I stay as large as X am I will never be happy. LONESOME AND BLUE. I have no doubt but that you could improve your physical appearance a great deal by proper diet and exercise. However, I should be very careful how I did it, as a lot has been said recently about the harmful effects of dieting. Diet under the direction of a physician, or else get some reliable book on the subject at the library. Join the gymnasium at the Y. W. C. A. and the instructor will advise you correctly. Diet and exercise both require determination and stick-to-it-iveness. But the end is worth the means. You will probably never be the “little fairy” type of woman, but do not let this worry you. Cultivate other qualities which charm men, and there is no reason why you should not be attractive to them. Schumann-Heink is a good example of a very large woman whose personal charm has been felt by millions. If lam not mistaken, she is married and has six children. The fact that she was large did not keep her from either fame or happiness. . Needs Help I am not yet sixteen. My father is dead and now i have a stepfather who refuses to buy my clothes. There are five in the family, my stepbrother who IS near my age, and my little sister. My stepfather buys his boy’s clothes and he goes to common school. I graduated two years ago, but haven’t had a chance to go to high school, as X had to help my mother. T wish X could get to work so I could have some clothes, but I can’t get a permit until I’m sixteen. My mother is good to and has tried to get work so she • ould get me clothes, but with all she has to do at home she ought not to have to work. Surely there is work of some kind that a big girl like me can do. I am medium in size and have good health. A TROUBLED LITTLE GIRL. I have sent your letter to Miss Bertha Leming of the Public School Social Service Agency. She will help you get a work permit, or in any other way you need. Go to the old library building on the southwest comer of Meridian and Ohio Sts., and ask for her. Tell her you are the little girl who wrote the letter to Martha Lee. — L Dr. Sessions to Talk Dr. Kenosha Sessions, superinr tendent of the Indiana Girls School, will speak on her work at the school at the luncheon meeting of the Altrusa Club Friday at the Columbia Club.

Stuffed Cabbage One delicious way of using up turkey scraps is to take big leaves of cabbage and tie them round a paste made of meat dressing, gravy or white sauce. Boil in salt water. Prevent Spots In stitching white or other perishable finery, one sure way to prevent spots is to stitch tissue paper over the goods and tear away afterwards. Letter Clippings Your letters to your friends will be more interesting if you keep an index into which you slip clippings, notes or other items—to retail to them. Prevent Holes ' If you wear your stockings out first in any one place, put a strip or adhesive tape over your bare foot at. that spot to lengthen the life of your hose. Blanket Edgings To make your room gayer and to protect the blankets, baste fcide bandings of colorful wash goods across the ends nearest your fact. Time Saver If you roll pie crust or biscuit dough on a big sheet of waxed paper it is less likely to stick ana you don’t have to wash the board. Cold Feet If your feet get chilled easily, bathe daily in cold water to which has been added a cup of solution of rock salt dissolved in boiling water. Windoiv Length If your windows are small, length can be gained by having your overdrapes extend clear to the floor. Plain color adds to length also.

PARIS FASHION NOTES

The complete handbag contains a small dictionary. Society now frowns on women and girls who use the lipstick in public. Women are applying brilliantine to their hair to get that glossy effect. i Leather coats, lined with kashmir, for winter wear, are attracting much attention. Cigaret lighters for milady, pursesize, in a leather finish, are becoming popular. The precious stone ornament, worn in the middle of the forehead and held in place by a band around the head, is being seen. The makers of corsets and brassieres report the most prosperous summer season since 1912- The factories are all running. Several beauty shops are advertising “leg-shaping.” The custom women have of displaying their underpinning has shown a wierd assortment of .limbs. The “shaping” consists of padding out hollov places.

Life’s Niceties Hints on Etiquet

1. If a divorcee specifically asks to have her maiden name restored, how does she have her new cards printed? 2. Is it ever proper for a divorced woman to continue using her husband’s full name, as "Mrs. John Smith?” 3. If she retains his surname, how should she be known? The Answers •1. Her maiden name, plus “Mrs.” 2. No, unless in business under it. 3. Her given name, her family name and her married name, as “Mrs. Martha Jones Smith.”

MEAT COOKING HINTS

Use sour cream as the liquid in making veal or lamb gravy. A clove of garlic tucked into the joint of a leg of lamb gives it a flavor that is different. Put a bay leaf in the pan with roast pork or braiseef pork chops. Ham baked in pineapple juice is delicious. The syrup left from pickled fruits such as peaches or pears makes a delicious flavoring for roast meats. Try pouring a cup of such juices and a cup of water over a roast of veal or beef. Serve fried oysters with beef pot roast and use the oyster liquor for making the gravy.

Urges Fight on Diseases of Children The importance of immunizing children from such diseases as smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid was emphasized in the talk by Dr. Ada Schweitzer of the Indiana State board of health this afternoon before the Mothers’ Round Table of the Woman’s Department Club. Dr. Schweitzer also brought out the importance of caring for colds in a sanitary way in order that “hey are not spread. “If colds are taken care of properly they will not spread so rapidly,” she stated, and explained the prevention of colds among children and grown-ups alike. “Immunization of children should be begun as soon as the natural im_ munity of children has begun to decline,” Dr. Schweitzer said. “That is usually when the child is from six months to a year old.” Diphtheria deaths have decreased from 435 in 1922 to 170 in 1925, she said. Tea was served following the pro* gram. Christmas Tree Meaning , D.A.R. Speaker's Topic "The Christmas Tree and Its Symbolism” was the topic of a talk given today by Mrs. Hugh H.
