Don ’t Quit Because Yon g Lack Beauty Bl' MARTHA LEE i One of the greatest tragedies of life is the fact that a woman, ; spiritually and mentally suited absolutely to marriage ana motherhood, is denied her place because her character and soul and mind are hidden beneath an unattractive exterior. The tragedy, come to thiric of it, is not that these qualities are hidden. It is the fact that men and women are, taking them by and large, too shallow to see the lact that these qualities are then. For some inexplicable reason, an intelligent jran will pass up a woman tvho would make him a won- | derful and understanding wife, because she has a homely face, and pick for himself, instead, a life of misery and torture with some feath-er-brained chorine whose face bears a slight resemblance to a,doll his sister had when he was about 10. Just Trust to Fate And you can ask why until your throat is parched, but you will never get a sensible answer. It is just one of the quirks of morals. Men would rather see something beautiful, even though they know it is only surface beauty, than to scratch beneath the surface and find beauty they never knew existed. Tl:e"e cases are more frequent than yob ever will guess. 1 have a letter today from a woman who never has been ab’e to overcome the handicap of physical unattractiveness enough, to fulfill her mission in life, that of being a wife and mother. Drar Miss Lee—l am nearly 35 years old and never have had a beau. Isn’t that a tragic state of affairs? Ever since I was a child I have dreamed f having my own home and children. When I became a young girl I learned to sew and cook and keep house, all in preparation for the fulfilment of my mission in life. I still know how to do these things, but instead of the home and children I had planned on, I am working in an office, day in and day out, and then going home to an ampty apartment, where I can exercise my culinary art all I want to for myself.
| And all because I am so homely. big and gawky and drab! I have a good [ disposition—not bragging—but when you ! Work It Is easy enough to find whether you are hard to get along with. I am efficient, capable, economical, all the things (- that would help if one were married. But ' what's the use of all that, when men will t not even recognize your existence? S I am getting older, but I haven’t given <up hope. Now, I want to know, Is there ' anything I can do about the situation? X am bashful, as befits an old and homely r maid of 34. SOLITAIRE. ) There is no need of any one be- ; ing drab or ugly these days, my dear. Why, think, if you look well j with your hair short, bobs are in -style, If it looks better long, it is quite O. K. to do it up. And clothes. There is an infinite variety of styles, fashioned to make the homeliest look their best. You Can Be Chic ' can be stylish, chic, and atIgS&ctive without being the least bit -T>retty. You can stand out from a i crowd if you have the right cut and color of clothes for your particular type. Take some time out and get yourself looked over by someone who ' knows clothes, and then follow the advice given you. You apparently are unhampered . by ties of any kind. Spend your time getting interested in something. Because, after all, you cannot just sit around and wait for love to fly in the window. And even if it did, you must have something to keep it interested, so that it will stay. Stop thinking about getting married. Perhaps you seem too eager t/o the men you do meet. A woman .of your type is much more apt to go over with men if you assume a : sane, sensible attitude about everything, including men. You see, men can tolerate silliness and nit-witf- ‘ tedness in pretty girls, but there are ’ something awful to behold in a homely woman.
Has Many Advantages : You have infinite advantages over a pretty woman, if you would only count them, and put them to good use. You can use your brain (men . suspect that you have one) and they will listen to your conversation with interest. You can be their confidante and, therefore, learn a great deal more about their inner feelings than you would if you were distractingly good looking. Adopt another attitude about ; things. Stop being shy. And write a letter telling me the results. Mrs. Brown Will Speak Mrs. Demarchus Brown will speak ,on “Gothic Cathedrals,” tonight before members of the Alpha Delphian Club. The meeting will be held at 6:45, at the Hoosier Athletic Club. Psi Kappa Rho sorority will meet tonight at the home of Miss Bernice Duncan. 1240 Windsor street. D ora can’t come! Today, and every day, a lot of ■women count their time to suffer. As regularly as the months come ’round, comes pain that is borne in silence. “It’s Nature,” women say But it isn’t! Women who have always had the hardest time, have no pain at all from the day they discover Midol. Midol is the special preparation of specialists, and is not a narcotic It does nothing to the system. It does stop the pain—in five to seven .minutes! So it is only common sense to use it. And it crests just 50 cents at any drug store in tiny carrying case of aluminum.—AdverUsemenL

uses a cup of SUGAR in boiling ham A famous cook gives his recipe A man, famous among his friends for his fine cooking, was asked the secret of his delicious boiled ham. He gave this simple recipe: Put a cupful of sugar in the water that boils an average size ham. Also one-half cup of vinegar. Try this and see how much it improves the taste and flavor of the ham. Every good cook knows that there is no substitute for sugar in improving the enjoyment of other foods. Whether in preparing fresh vegetables, fruits or meats, sugar is the secret of successful cookery. Sweetness is nature's perfect flavor. It is also the cheapest nutriment that you can buy. Health comes from eating good foods, flavored to please the taste Beware of extreme reducing diets. They are dangerous. Eminent medical authorities warn us that permanent injury often result<trom starvation diets. Be sure that you and your children are properly nourished. Elat enough of varied foods, sweetened for enjoyment. The Sugar Institute. •niuivertlMM#*

Mot her hood No ‘Call to Sacred Duty BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Mrs. Arthur Towne, or according to the Lucy Stoner’s, Margery Lawrence, in a current magazine, explains at length why she does not have a child. Not that anybody cares particularly, but her attitude is typical of a certain type of modem woman. Mentioning her disdain for pain, her comfortable income, and her love for tots, she stresses the fact that because she does not feel the urge to possess a child she never intends to have one. Well, that sounds sensible, but really it isn’t. I doubt very much whether an, twentieth century woman whose life is filled with interesting occupations ever actually is overcome jy the urge to have a baby. A lot of bunk has been put out a; to how an expectant mother feels and how she dreams impatiently of the day when sh~ will hold her child in her arms. That’s also more or less exaggerated. Women don’t thrill over babies very much until after they have them. It’s Wrong Idea
The old-fashioned sort who had nothing to do but sit and sew may have experienced all those blissful sensations, but it’s my opinion that some sentimental man first put that out and the womer finallly got to the place where they believed they should feel that way to be true mothers. Mrs. Towne says: “I refuse motherhood not because I fear or despise it. I refuse it because I have too deep a sense of its vastness; because I regard it as a vocation in the greatest and gravest sense of the word, and therefore like those who devote themselves to the religious, unless the call comes to me, I will not take upon myself this great responsibility.” She’s safe there. The call never will come. But it looks as if, regarding motherhood as such a sacred thing, she would be the very person who should produce other conscientious citizens. Don’t Feel ‘Call* How many splendid mothers do you suppose felt a “call” to motherhood? None, positively none. If we waited for there “calls” babies would become extinct. Some persons • insist that the woman who does not want children will make a poor mother. That’s wrong, too, in many cases. Some of the best mothers have devoted their lives to children who were unwanted before birth. You can’t make rules about such natural phenomena as babies. They are above statistics and red tape, i Halcyon Club Meets Miss Florence Gaddis was hostess for the meeting of the Halcyon Club today, at the As-You-Like-It tea room.
