Much of Wailing About Wives Who Lack ‘lf Is Misdirected Effort BY MBS. WALTER FERGUSON ALICE WILLIAMSON sobs along for a couple of newspaper pages about the tragedy of a woman not being able to hold a man’s love during a lifetime. She says that whereas ugly men are often loved for their ruggedness, a woman without beauty or charm, or “it,” is simply out of luck. Perhaps she’s right, but observation does not bear out her contention. Look at the homely wives you can meet in a day’s journey. Scores of them,

just as jolly, just as happy, just as much loved as anybody else. We talk a great deal too much about beauty and in our incurably romantic hearts we imagine that love only springs into being at the sight of pulchritude. In this we simply exaggerate. For our every day experiences prove us wrong. Our Stupid Error beauty lies always in the eye of beholder, which is a good thing foi some of us, else we might never have had a beau. And love, real worth while love, is not always kept alive by outer beauty. This, indeed, is one of our most stupid fallacies. It is the mistake that often wrecks our girls and ruins our boys’ lives, this enormous stress we place upon mere physical loveliness. Mrs. Williamson believes that all men of about fifty stop loving their wives and turn to other and younger women. I’d hate to think that. I’d shudder to live in a world inhabited by such poor creatures. Most Wives Loved Some of them, it is true, may turn aside to follow after a pretty face or two, but down in their hearts, if they are decent at all, I sincerely believe that men love their wives. They may rove in imagination, though in spirit they reverence and are faithful to the things of character which first attracted them. For the men are not such awful creatures. Most of them are only small boys grown tall. They like to be noticed and listened to and pampered. When they get along toward fifty, however, few of them feel any more kittenish than their wives. They may pretend to enjoy jazz, but in reality they much prefer a

BEAUTY HOW and WHY U 0 u DRY AND CREAMY FACE POWDERS

BY ANN ALYSIS / Face powders are dry or creamy, according to whether or not they have cold cream or lanoline- wool fat—incorporated in them. Usually, if these ingredients have been used, the label mentions that fact. For skin that is dry, creamy or lanolated powder is indeed desirable. Such powders are smooth and adhere well to the skin, preventing the dry and scaly appearance which powder gives to some faces. When powder contains sufficient cream within itself, It is unnecessary to give the face the usual preparatory treatment with cold cream. However, if your preference is for the dry powder, apply a very small amount of your favorite cream, cold or vanishing, before using the powder. In applying the powder, cover all parts of the face well with it. Many women make the mistake of leaving* forehead and neck unpowdered, thus produoing a very inartistic effect, the difference in color striking the eye at once, and unpleasantly. Also, do not put on so much powder that the face looks like a mask, which is what a great many women do. Marion Dances Alpha chapter of Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity, Marion, will give its seventh annual New Year’s breakfast dance Jan. 2 at the hotel Spencer. The Marion chapter of Beta Phi Sigma Fraternity will hold Us annual Christmas ball in the Hotel Spencer there Tuesday.

Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER Europeans are utterly horrified, writes Eleanor Kelly, author, at our married women who travel about by themselves. “The European travels with her husband, or with a woman companion,” she says. “If she does not, that is the cue for others to lift suspicious eyebrows. They can not realize that an American woman could possibly travel without her husband unless she were bent on amorous adventure.

It is inconceivable to them that a woman should want to leave her husband and family and go gadding about. It is even more inconceivable to them that any husband would permit it.” Which is Just one more reason why we should give thanks and praise that we are Americans! 1 Applaud One of the finest things done in a long time. It seems to me, was the recent national amateur radio audition held by the Atwater Kent Foundation. Sometimes one feels that the most tragic waste of the country is lost youthful abilities which can not be utilized to the utmost because youth loesn’t “know the ropes.” That glorious old lady, Ernestine Schumann-Heink, announces that she is dedicating her last days to finding hidden voices, also. u n tt Nice Old Lady One of the most pathetic and yet satisfying stories heard in a long time is thkt of little 85-year-

Life wasn’t all movies and silk dresses and stockings and white bread in the days that formed the major part of her life. But the children are grown now, and the world of romance for which she hungered all her life is waiting there just around the corner at the movie house.
