4 Revenge Is Sweet ’ Just Dissipation BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Marie Corelli once wrote a book called “Vendetta.” I read it surreptitiously when I was about fifteen and probably remember the name and plot because of its stolen sweetness. For isn’t revenge sweet? “Vendetta” was all of that. I began almost to think it had gone out of style, this vendetta business, until a little incident of a woman’s hate and punishment of another woman came to my attention recently. Real vendetta in real life is unpleasant, cruel and mean. I know of no quicker, surer barometer of character than the thirst for revenge that some women hav£. One time two girls at boarding school became enemies. One thoughtlessly told a secret the other had entrusted to her and the latter never forgot nor forgave. After a few years in which each married they came together again to live in the same city. The one who told was the last to move in. The other was already established. The woman who couldn’t forget nor forgive kept up a regular systematic persecution of her former enemy, who tried to make amends, tried to apologize, tried to explain, but couldn’t. The other would not listen. In reality she had forgotten her thirst for revenge. Our minds seldom hold spite so long. What she did really was to dramatize herself and her emotion. Some people are happiest when hating. Emotional dissipation is what it is. If you’re trying to get even with someone, stop and think. Aren’t you enjoying it immensely? It isn’t because you think it is your duty to punish them, is it?

MARYE and ‘MOM’ a a a THEIR LETTERS
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Darling: Mom, you were just lucky, that's all. Lucky about me, I mean. Because in your innocent yet warmly appreciated trust in my angel-like ways you gave me all the rope I needed to act like an imp. Do you really think that a girl is thinking much of how she’s been brought up when she's out with a boy who makes her dizzy? I’d like to say your attitude was perfectly correct but I can’t. What a girl does depends upon her nature more than upon the sermonettes she gets at home. If she's the obliging, unselfish kind of a girl, she wants to please the boy she loves, if the boy is the sort that has listened to his father's advice and remembered it as well, there’s nothing to worry about Believe me. Mom, I’ll bring my daughters (if any) up to be selfish both before and after marriage. And I'll be a watchdog, too, because I know that our marriage customs and economic conditions are at variance with nature’s laws. To seek to deny an undeniable fret is stupid and dangerous. We “modems” realize that and we should make better parents because of it. And there won’t be much trusting of an untried girl’s pledge to remember her mother

while her sweetheart is holding her close and kissing her. Chaperonage is not resented by Girls in Europe are chaperoned, girls who are accustomed to it. and even in our country those from our best families have been carefully protected, until lately. Now please don’t get the impression that I don't believe in the virtue of the modern girl. I do, but I think instead of placing reliance upon the young girls to protect themselves we ought to give the girl the care she needs. In Mabel’s case there is ample proof for m.v point about belated authority. Her mother allowed her to run wild when she was a kid. I can well remember Mrs. Clary’s house. She was never home to look after it or to give Mabel bread and jam after school. Remember how she used to come home with me to get some eats? Yes. I know I'm outlining a stiff course for parents. And believe me I want to be well informed before I become one. It’s my belief that parents “parent” too much at the w r rong time. They slave for babies and then call it a day when the kiddies are half grown. With all my love, MARYE.

BY ALLENE SUMNER Perhaps the moral, if one must have one. in the story of Mrs. Christine Woodside, fined SIOO for flogging her 16-year-old daughter. Lorene, is that a lion tamer should never have children. For this mother was a lion tamer by profession before her marriage, and ’tis said that never did lion tamer by gilt and scarlet skirt crack a smarter lash than Mrs. Christine Woodside. But the same tactics applied to her child didn’t work in this country. Perhaps, too. the little story is just one more symbol of the everincreasing power of youth to “get the best of it” over age. It will be harder than ever for parents to make their gals get in at night. a a a The “Love Legend” Although he was 103 and she was 96, Mrs. Elizabeth Reevs left her husband the other day. She said that their marriage was not a success; they were not happy together, and would be better apart.
How “the love legend” does persist even on into old age! Though we do not demand happiness in any other situation or scheme of life, we demand it from marriage, or the marriage is n. g. Even at 103 and 96! a a a Women have no business on juries, according to Dr. Louis Bisch, psychiatrist. He says that "woman is unfit for the judgment of guilt.” He cites the reactions of several women told that a husband had shot his wife’s lover. The frivolous butterfly woman condemned him ("what’d he expect a woman to do left alone all day?, etc.). The very maternal woman condemned him, and railed the woman a "hussy.” The gold digger said "good for her!” and condemned the husband. Dr. Bisch says this proves that emotion and self-justification rule women. To be sure. But men are so ruled, too. The only difference is that there is much less temperamental variety among men and that they all operate on a common instinct of self-preservation.
Kotex Reduces Prices
A few months ago, as a means of winning a million new users for Kotex so as to expedite a nation-w ide distribution of the new Improved Kotex, we made a special offer of one box of Kotex free with every two boxes purchased for 98c, This sale is now ended. So overwhelming was the response to this offer that we doubled mir output and are thereby now able to announce a permanent 30% reduction it ’be regular price of Kotex when sold bj the bootThese two exclusive new features have doubled Kotex sales: J Anew, form-fitting shape .. . corners are ** softer, too fluffier—eliminating unnow scientifically rounded and tapered so pleasant chafing and binding, that you wear it under the most clinging o ...

TO meet the immediate and overwhelming response of women to the two exclusive new features of Kotex we have been obliged to double our manufacturing facilities. This fact and the introduction in our plants of our new, patented machinery enables us to announce, effective today, * reduction of 30% in the regular price at which Kotex will be sold to all drug and dry goods stores. Before making a permanent reduction in price, and as a means of getting nation-wide distribution of the Improved Kotex, for several months we made a special offer of 2 boxes of Kotex at 98c and one box free. Now with the assurance of a doubled volume at lower prices, the regular price of single packages of Kotex is reduced 30%. Without this doubled volume the Improved Kotex would have to be sold at higher rather than lower prices.

RARELY is a manufacturer able to offer better goods and lower prices at the same time. Two years of exacting work in oar laboratories by designers and chemists (in cooperation with women doctors) led to the perfection of the Improved Kotex. With the presentation of the new style Kotex, exclusive in design, comes the most radical development in intimate feminine hygiene since the invention of Kotex itself. The features we have developed are exclusive to Kotex are found in no other sanitary pad. Wliat form-fitting means By a unique process, developed only after months of experiment, corners arc now scientifically rounded and tapered so that the pad fits snugly, comfortably, securely. Closest-fit-ting gowns retain their slim, smooth lines. This brings a composure, a sense of well being, heretofore impossible. Softer- fluffier - chafing eliminated Now, exclusive methods have been found for making the absorbent filler still softer. Chafing, binding, similar discomforts are eliminated. 27 women doctor s, S3 nurses cooperated enthusiastically During the past two years 27 women doctors, 8o nurses in leading hospitals, in City Health Departments, in Welfare Departments, were consulted. Six specialists in feminine hygiene suggested and approved ideas. All former advantages retained The remarkably absorbent powers of Kotex remain; the same protective area is there. Cellucotton wadding, which is exclusive to Kotex, has all the advantages of any waterproofed absorbent, plus its own unique qtral-

Very Weak and Easily Upset Lady Says She Could Scarcely Drag Around Until She Took Cardui. Tells llow She Got Well and Strong. “I was very much run-down— my strength seemed to have all left me,” says Miss Grace L. Smith of Exeter, Mo. “I was so weak and depressed, I had almost given up hope of ever being well again. “At times I suffered with spells of severe headache. I hadn’t enough strength to throw these off. I was very nervous. The least little thing would upset me. I could not stand any noise, and sometimes I was on the verge of hysterics. I did not sleep well at night. “The extreme weakness which troubled me was my greatest aliment. I could not find anything that would help it until I began taking Cardui. I had known about Cardui for some time, and when I found I wasn’t getting any better, I tried it. “Cardui proved to be a wonderful friend, for after I had taken it a short time I was decidedly better. I kept up the tonic for several months, as I wanted my Improvement to be permanent. “All the aches and pains I had disappeared, and I was feeling well and strong again. Before I took Cardui I could scarcely drag around, but it is not that way now. I feel better than I have felt in two years.” Cardui is sold by all druggists.
