Victory is to the one who hath th e most wind and staying qualities. BEING ON THE COMPARATIVE VALUE OF BEAUTY AND BRAINS

1. Verily, I say unto you, my Son, unto the relative appraisement of beauty and brains in a female, as- a matrimonial asset, I have 'given serious consideration; and be it known that in a sweetheart brains are an added joy and luxury, but in a wife they are a vexation of spirit and a blow to vanity, which conflicteth badly with man's peace plans and domestic policies and preventeth him from inflating himself with his own egoism. 2. For behold, my Son, and know ye, that a man, to be happy, must have faith in his own importance and to be able to crow morning, noon and night without competition; but one brainy woman in the role of a "wife" can, with one word or look, put a crimp in a man's confidence and reduce his enthusiasm from 60 horse-power, going strong, to one cylinder, and that skipping; and he findeth himself like unto a politician taking orders from someone higher up. 3. Furthermore, my Son, knoweth thou that because a woman taath been too wise, many a man hath had the kibosh put on his psychic deviltry, and his life hath been made just one alibi after another; for she waiteth his return at 3 a. m. and giveth him reproach and bitter beratings, when he hath needed succor, nourishment and inspiration. 4. Again, I say unto thee, my Son, that after a man hath prowled around half the night when he cometh home, a wife with brains will refuse to pur over the remnants of Love he bringeth her, and in the marital arguments which follow, no man can successfully combat the strain of a cross-examination at the hands of a wise woman.

5. Heed also, my Son, and knoweth thou that it hath come to pass, that the more a man feeleth his oats, the more he lacketh' horse-sense; therefore, when thou indulgeth thy craving for that sentiment which sticketh to thy fingers and runs all down the front of thy vest, be thcu wise, and when thy wife questioneth thee as to the time, the place and the girl, reply with the spirit of caution, until thou knoweth how much of the real goods she hath on thee, lest thou slip and sprain thy wrist watch, for knoweth thou that a man can stand suspicion much better than he standeth temptation, and no jury compelleh a man to selfconviction. 6. Therefore, my Son, rather than too many Brains, thou shouldst marry for Beauty, which although fleeting, is docile, pliable and as soothing as paregoric; and console thyself that when it fleeteth, any beauty paror or drugstore canst give Nature some strong re-enforcements in germ-proof tresses and complexions that are guaranteed not to kiss off; and as Beauty and Brains are not component, thou canst feel a security in thy pastimes and pleasures which maketh thee eo eat not ashes like bread, nor mingle thy drink with weeping. 7. But verily, my Son, heed this wisdom, that nobody is ever quite satisfied with anything after they get it; and marriage, after the honeymoon hath turned the last quarter, is usually nohing more than an endur-v ance contest, in which each party to the struggle strives to crab the spot light, and in the conflict, victory is to the one who hath the most wind and staying qualities; and it is harder to keep up a sentimental pretense for the benefit of the public, than it is for two politicians to act as if they respected each other.

A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY The Story of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAM

VIOLET'S SYMPATHY. Chapter 24. I sat in the kitchen for.a time thinking about it. After all I was sorry to have done something Esther did not approve of. She had been good to roe She had gladly taken me into her home when I had none of my own, The fact that I had more than earned all I ever cost, had nothing to do with the case. Esther wanted me to marry. It was her sole idea of could it be happiness? At least it was her notion of what a woman should do. Why? Esther had not born happy in her married life. She had probably cared for Jim in the beginning as much, at least as Esther was capable of caring, lie had been deeply in love, I knew that. I know that Jim was capable of a great deal of affection. Probably Ihey both cared now after a fashion. But it was habit, not love, that kept them together. For Esther was the sort of woman who considered it immoral to look attractive after she was marrieda conviction that grew with every baby she bore. Her duty to her husband did not include making herself alluring in his eyes. The great mistake many women make is that they think the promise to love in I he marriage ceremony is an easy one to keep. T picked up thp other lamp and went to my room. 1 could not understand the affair at all. I did not know then Hint my sister-in-law never really thought, but reasoned along conventional lines. That was why. though not happy herself, she wanted me to marry a man 1 did not love. I pulled clown my hair, stiff, colorless, dull and thin. 1 unfastened my hi ch collar, noting the brown ridf.c around my neck where it had rubbed the skin. I looked at my sunken cheeks, sallow skin and thin shoulders. Then I turned out ihe light and undressed in the dark. There was no saving this wreck of what once had been a pretty girl. The bos thing to do was to forget both its past and ts. present. The door opened softly and Violet's voice called me. "Will you tell me about it, Aunt Enid?" she asked. She sat down in a chair by the open window. I can still see her there so voung and pretty in her cheap cotion wrapper. Her shining hair fell around her shoulders. In the silvery light from the stars, she did not look like a real girl so much as a golden haired sprite bathed in silver mist. "Well, he did ask me, just as Esther thought." I told her. "But you didn't promise to marry him?" Her voice was all anxiety. "No; I said I wouldn't." "Oh, I am so glad!" She relaxed in the chair as though a great weight had been lifted. "I was afraid mother would make you do even that, and I couldn't bear the idea of you marrying that odious old man." "Ksther is awfully cross." Violet laughed a little, a low laugh, for we did not dare disturb the other members of the family. "I know she is. She talked about it all evening, and when mother has her mind made up, it is awful to change It." "Is it exciting being proposed to?" she asked presently. "No, not very," I answered. "But this was not the sort of proposal you read of in novels. I mean, it was not romantic. Of course we are too old for that." Unconsciously, I was quoting Mark . "Rubbish l" answered my young niece. "I'll bet when we get to tht

city this fall you will begin to grow young. For one thing, you won't have as much work to do. Do you get tired much ? That, too, was a , new idea Of course I got tired I was tired most of the time! But farm life was hard; Esther and I both overworked, there were duties to be done, and being tired naturally followed. I really had not thought of it I merely accepted it. "It is all settled, about the city," Vi went on: "Father and I talked abojt it this evening I went out in the barn with him while he was bedding down the horses. "We are to go there a few days before the college opens, and find a room through the Y. W. C. A . or some other organization like that. Miss Manx she is my history teacher, you know she has given me a letter to the secretary of the Y. W. C. A., aud they will help us. "Then we are going to find a couple of rooms, very cheap, where we can keep house. I will be a sort of day pupil; it costs less. They sent me some catalogues and I have been reading about them this evening. We are going to Hartford, and stay with those friends of mother's you know, the ones I don't like and take an early train next morning, so we will have most of the day to find a temporary .lace. You are to take your money and deposit it in a New York bank, ;;nd we will be very, very economical, ;.nd go without desserts, and have lovely times." I laughed at her mixed up plans. "When do we go?" I asked, catching her enthusiasm. "September 7th." she said. "But f was so afraid you would marry thar dreadful I'pjohn person, and I would have to go alone. We will have such good times! " "You don't blame me then?" I asked. She came over and put her arms around me. "I'd just want to kill him, if you married him," she said.

and get my clothes with a promise of getting something when I marry someone they like. Otherwise I may be dropped. Everybody says I am foolish and silly, as old as I am, not to do something. Even my girl friends are afraid to come any more. What shall I do? Spoil two lives for a whim? He was first and last in the world war. How should I go about it if I take fcim? EVERETTE. You are the one who will have to live "with the man you marry, and therefore it is more imperative that you should be pleased than your parents should. I believe you are old enough now to make your own decision. If the young man has talked of mar

riage to you in the past, it will be all right for you to tell him that you will marry him against the wishes of your parents if he Ftill wants to marry. In case he has not spoken of marriage, however, you can do nothing but remain his friend until he mentions marriage. Many good families have one member who is not as worthy as the rest. Be sure of the character of the man you marry. If he is good and you and he are congenial you "will he happy in spite of the pranks of his unworthy brother. A READER: In regard to a detective agency, inquire of the sheriff which would be the nearest and most convenient for you.

Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two

girls fourteen years of age. Do you I think we are too young for the boys I io take us to the basketball games and (parties. We attend high school.

TEDDY AND TONY. Yes, you are too young to go out in the evening with boys. Wait until you are in your junior year at high school. At present your father or mother should accompany you if you go, or some person reasonably older than yourselves. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twentyfive and have been in love with a fellow twenty-six for the past eight years, and he loves me. My parents won't let us get married or even keep company for the simple reason that he has one brother who isn't so good. Otherwise his parents, brothers and sisters are good people. To please nay folks we have both tried other company, but when we see

each other it is .simply useless. My farmer and work hard for my folks friend makes excellent wages and hasn't thrown it all away. I am a
