PLAIN GIRL VS.
PllETTY GIRL

K
What He Sees in Her
it AWISB MAN mnrrlcs n uoninn for
X".the very opposite of wliat sho ap
pears to be" so declares an eminent au
thority on things amorous! While this
Is n, curious nml unsatisfactory reason. It
yet exptnlna the mystery nt Inched to
many seemingly untotnantlc mnrrlases.
"I can't understand what lie sec In her,"
pouts pretty, powdered, unattached
Gwendoline of plain Jane, married to
What In common parlance U known as :t
"good catch."
It never strikes her that the man may
hRvo lived Just long cnoiiRli to discover
that behind the average pretty face there
lies nothing except nothingness or, to
quote a very c.wilcnl person, "at the
most a few pale pink hisses and n mauve
mood or so In a boudoir cap and some
thing lacy tied up with ribbons! whero.iM
behind the mask of the sttong-fenlured
girl with the pince-nez, it Is possible ho
may discover all the qualities of the
lady In the French novel, iiialltlcs tact
fully lumped together by the author as
temperament..' "
The girl with temperament lias It all
over the merely pretty girl every time,
by the way. t-or nothing is quite so at
tractive to the masculine mind as (whnt
he doesn't understand and he Ins
strange difficulties In fathoming the
woman of temperament. Also nothing H
Anally so boilng to a man as a merely
pretty girl without anything behind that
selfsame piettlncss. it Isn't only boring.
It Is dreadfully anno.lng to the masculine
mind. For expectations have been roused
that are not going to be gratllied.
The man has Imagined that the pietty
face Is the outward and visible slan of
a very attractive and interesting inluil.
Ahd when he finds that It Is only the out
ward nnd visible sign of "N'obody Home",
then words cannot eipross his disgust
nnd disillusionment.
Too many fnlr maidens make the sad
mistake of Imagining that their beauty
Is going to carry them triumphantly
through lite. No Idea could be more
fallacious. For much Is going to be ex
pected of them. They are going to be
judged by a higher standard than their
less physically favorrd sisters. And If
they fall short of that standaid, then
they will lose their admirers.
Tho plain girl, on the other hand, does
not attract with the shallow attraction
of mere outwaid beauty. She cultivates
her brain-power and her sympathies and
nil the other charms sho tnn muster to
tier aid. Moreover, nhc has the pleasing
onsnlntion that, nltlioush she may not
be outwardly charming to the eye, tho
men who mo going to court her and pay
her attention are going to biifid the af
fair on a llimcr foundation than mele
physical hiiiuly. She Is going to lie liked
for the durable Munition, and for them
alone.
A certnin class of man shuns the pretty
girl into poison. And why? Hecntlse he
tears that she is rotirollrd. "The pretty
girl Is too much taken up with heiself
and hor own good looks," he tcllects
cnltnly "and she Is much loo egotistical
nnd self-centred to be a worth-while sort
of poison. (live mo the plain ghl every
time, who will Interest herself genuinely
In my nrtalts nnd who will not make the
demand1! on my time nnd temper that the
(polled beauty loves to do!"
Some man led men were recently 'lis
itiafltiK tills very question of tho respec
tive advantages and disadvantages of tho
plain nnd the pretty girl, when cine of
them said: "I'd sooner be an old bachelor
ti'l my life than marry a pretty girl!"
"Why?" asked his friends.
"Ucenusn if I married n pretty girl I'd
hnvii such busy time looking after her,
and GOi-Ing that she didn't (lilt wltli other
turn and do nit tho soit of things that
the pretty. Highly married women do
nimnd.iys!" was the answer.
Sarah's Plan
"fl'mntter, honey bug?" Snrnh asked,
peering through the window at tier chiim.
1. uello, who sat with her head on I er
aims, beside the tnlile, sobbing hard,
The head did not rle. Instead a fret
rul Voice quavered. "You go 'way aful
let me alone."
In response Sarah stepped through (he
window, glad It happened to be n Fiehcli
olio, silzed Luclle by the shollldeis nh'l
shook her upright, asking, tensely, "is
lbe day set?"
I.ulee ttodtlrit lief lips too tremuiolls
for speech. S.il-nh wh otlcil-tihladyllk'?.
to bo sure-bill she it'll not mind. "Then,
It's up to me to be doing ical hnid," sin!
commented. "It would be plain snlllltiJ
If jolt only had a swcollicart you coutd
elope and be done with It."
"I I don't want to don't want any
thlug-but to be-let alone," l.uclle tllff
voted again.
Sarah stamped daintily. "Von'ie a tool,
double-fastened and coppcr-ilveted," Rile
said. "Patience knows. I'd dance a Jig If
I stood In your shoes Hilly Macklln IM
the catch of the county, ttenlly. It bothers
me why he's so set on marking jou;
but Instead of saying yes. nnd thiinky,
as you ought, you're ci.vlng your ces
out."
"Well. I can't help It. And It's all I
ran do," Luclle protested mole tearfully
than ever.
Suddenly Sarah begnn truly to dance.
"Tell me nil about It," she said. "I've
got an Idea, It only I can make It work."
t.ucll" told with it certain Intent satis
faction. Tho day was Thursday this
was Monday. Hilly was coming around
4 In tho morning they would lie married
with only Aunt .lule and Ills father for
wltneaiei, drlvo to the station and cntclt
tho early tialn. After that New York,
maybe Kurope nnythlng she might par
lit titntly choose any lewnid, In fact, for
being n good girl and not crossing her
tlder". Clothes? They wcie to be bought
In tho city only the traveling dies that
wns nlicach ordered from the nearest
leal town, where a tailor always had her
In the business woiid, the plain girl
tins lust nt good If not a better chance
than tho pietty glil. For many prospec
tive employe! s will not have a pietty
woman In their olllcs. "l'rotty women
distinct tlm men fiom their woik," they
iitllim, "nml they don't take the same i
Intel est In their work that the plain
women do. For thoir minds are tot on
frivolities that He outside the business
world. Ucslth-s, the pietty women never
are '.he pemi.'iiciit fixtures Hint the plain
women so often nie .lust when ou ha
taught them all there is to learn In the
work, off they go to get man led, nnd mt
have to begin all over again with sonic
other woman!"
Thus wo see that In everything there
Is a compensation. And, although a
tiling of beauty Is a Joy for ever to the
majority of people, In critaln cases It
i moie of an annoyance thnn n pleasure.
CHILDEEN'S CORNER
Industrious Mary Jane
NO. MART JANE,' said mother firm
ly, "you cannot go out of doors
to piay In the rain! There Is not one
bit of use to ask me such a question
again. Now, do be a good girl and go
and look at some pretty books in the
library."
Mary Jane turned from the window
and started across the room. "That's
always the way," she thought to her
self, "I can't do nnythlng I want to'
JUSt because I'm getting over Ihe mnllx. I
that I had three whole weeks ago, I '
can't wade In those lovely puddles! Aim
I Just love to wado In puddles!" She
went Into the library and sat down on I
the biggest rug. "Who In the world
wants to look at books all the time
They say, 'look at the pretty plctuiea'
and I'm so tired of pictures." I
But Mary Jane, despite her funny !
talk, was an obedient little girl, and
could be counted on doing nearly as
she was told. She went over tn the
bookcase, pulled two big books ouio
fully out of the case and sat down on
the rug to look at them. But site
couldn't get Interested In the ptctuies
"I believe I'll rather play dolls," she
aald to herself, "but mutlier bald
books."
Just at that very minute, an Idea
struck her Ideas do act that way some
times, you know! She sat perfectly still
a minute. Then she exclaimed. "That's
the very thing! Why didn't I ever think
of It before! And It's playing with books,
top!"
Without another world sho set to work.
If you had peeped In at the window JuBt
then, you would have seen a busy, happy,
little, girl but you never In the world
could have guessed what she was doing!
What DO you suppose It was?
First she went to the bookcase nnd
pulled out several books of medium
else. Then four big thick books anil
one, only one. great broad, thin one.
Those she laid on the floor In the mid
dle of the big tug where she had been
sitting-.
Then, had you been watching, ou
would have Been her go to the waste
basket and carefully pick out Severn I
pieces of paper. (You Bee, Mary Jane
was allowed to cut up any paper, letter
or envelopes that were thrown away.)
These sho laid on the pile of books.
Then last of all, sho went to the desk
drawer nnd got the cut-out sclssois
which she was allowed to use. With
a great sigh of content, sho sat down
In front of tho Pile of books and went
to work and that's all ou or any one
looking on could have seen' But that
wasn't all there was to see no, Indeed' l
The chairs were the four fat volumes
anil the dishes, as ivcll as the guests,
were cut from envelopes.
In one hour, there was held In that
library, a lovely party a dinner party
given by pijper dolls cut out of the
wastebasket papers! The tablo was the
big thin book set carefully on a pile
of tho mcdium-slsetl books. Tho chairs
were the four fat volumes and the
dishes, as well as the guests were cut
from envelopes by one busy little girl.
And such a say party as It was, too!
Mother, way in the other room, heard
the talk and came to Investigate. "What's
this I hear?" she asked as she walked
into the library. "It's n dinner paity,
mother, won't you come?" Of eoursu
mother would! She sat down on the rug
nml had tea from a paper cup and de
clared it was the best she had hud for
many a day. "And I believe I like mak
ing wastepaper doll parties, better than
wading In puddles," decided Mary Jane,
nnd she poured another cup all around.

TOWN OF FUNNY DREAMS
THE BACKWARD DAYS
When Father Time Went to Sleep
By Bob Williams
When Sol went down In Funny Town,
lie wouldn't always stay;
Some Times he'd pop right back again,
And start a Backward Day.
Instead of moving East to West,
Ife'd go from West to East;
The Reason was because the Sky
Was full at Magic Yeast!
You see, the Sun would start to set.
With many moans and sighs.
And then the Teast would start to work
And Sol would havo to rise!
Now, when the tired Sun returned,
f All Moving Things reversed;
The Clocks would go the Other way.
And gloom would be dispersed;
For when you saw the Backward Walks
That Folks were forced to take;
And Horses running wrong apd to
Your Sides would surely shake.
But, say, the Time you Laughed the most
Was whn a Person spoke;
'Twas Baekwards, and It sounded like
A Mad.a-gas.car Joke!
Qne evening Brother John went 'round
to Funny Tpwn, and heard
The People laughing Baokwurds
Twas our Neighbor's MMkiwj Bird!
measurements. Tim flock would be pent
lmrelv In time hut as to Hint l.uclle
didn't mind. She wax too wrapped up In
btltig n victim Just like n girl In a storv
book. Only no other girl wns ever quite
so mlsetahle Folks were sorry for gills
In books-even Snrnh thought she wns a
silly Instead of a heroine.
"They'll lot me enme and stay nil night
I reckon." Sainli hnanled, "I'm coming,
whether or no," she mil on. "Now, If
vou'ro gnme we enn beat the other game
beautifully."
"How? I'd do anything for freedom,"
l.uello said tier eyes sparkling.
"We are lust the same size nnd prettv
much the Fame shape and rolor." Sarah
went on stenilllv. "Whnl's tn hinder mo
IP king the new bridegroom lie won't
know tho difference until we're In the
train and daylight: not then it I keep
mv ve'l down all right."
"Ynu'il never dare why Hilly would
murder you!" Luclle gnsped.
Sarah tossed her bend. "Hilly Is-a
man." she said. "In every scno. He
won't he nasty, nor make a srene when
he finds out. Trust me to mnko him
clad rather than sorry of tho exehnngo
lone hefoie we got to New York."
"He'd hnte vou he hates hold girls.
It would he the brozonest tiling," l.uclle
said, almost ncldly.
Sarah laughed softly. "Not brazen
but horole," she snld. "Or rather
lieroln-ic. I shall tell him It wns done
to save yon how you loathed him "
"Hut 1 don't loath him lie's nice
only I Just don't want to marry him nor
nnybodv." l.uclle cried, her eyes shoot
ing sparks.
Sarah went on as it she had not
honid. "I'll agree to an annulment a
quiet one but onlv on condition thnt
Hll'v' lets you forever nlnne "
"You vou can't get It marrying holds
tlcht." l.uclle Interjected, her languor
all gone
Snrnh pursed her lips. ' - can get It
on the ground Hint T am not the per-
I son named in the license. Oh, don't tell
I me-T haven't been flirting with a lawyer
i In-the-plp all these months for noth
I Ing "
"Jack Havne will never look nt you
again," r.uolle said, loftily.
Snrah laughed softly. "He'll be right
there to look after me In fact, I think
1 T shall marrv him before I get home
i He's been pestering me ever so long
to tnke him. Now ho has got a business
that takes him nbroad. May be, If we
I gel through the legal snarl in time, I'll
I go along "
"Hut If vou aren t really married, how
can you make Hlllv give me up?" l.uclle
asked, her face much flushed.
"He won't know the game," Sarali said
plncldlv "Resides, he may not want to
clve me up. Heroln-lcs get right next to
his sort He may think a girl who takes
so much trouble to save a friend Is a
whole lot out of the common."
"I've known nil along you wanted him,"
l.uclle cried spitefully. "You have tried
and tried to cut -me out, nnd now you
think you see your chance."
"Found me out? What nre you going
to do about It?" Sarah asked, still
placidly.
l.uclle was dancing about madly, wring
ing her hnnds and again crying. "You go
home!" she blubbered. "And don't you
ever dare come here again. The Idea,
wanting Hilly yourself, and and trying
to snatch him from mo right at the
altar!"
"Haven't you found out yourBoif like
wife?" Sarali nsked. "Found out what a
hypocrite you've been all along? Making
out you bated marrying Billy, so as to
be coaxed and pampered and bribed yes,
bilhed? If you haven't, I have, but not
right now. All along I have sensed that
you were play-acting making a drama of
your fate, when it was just to your mind.
You don't deserve your good fortune.
Hilly Macklln Is a man: he ought to have
a live, flcsh-and-blood woman, not a
ilesh-nnd-blood doll."
"Quite right, Miss Sarah," a deep,
throaty voico said through tho window.
Squire Macklln stood Just outside and
there had seen and heard everything.
"Let me confess while we're getting at
the truth, we ought to have solid chunks
of It. Hilly has been half-hearted as to
this match. I've been the one to
urge It for family reasons and also finan
cial ones. Luclle will have money the
Mackllns are land-poor. Julia Madison
and I laid oui heads together when tho
hoy and girl were hardly out of thutr
cradles, and made the match. We've been
driving to It steadily ever since. I havo
to thank you for showing me we were
driving over a precipice showing me
Just In time." 4
"O! You mustn't say that. T was mad
through and through, and then I say
anything," Sarah protested,
The squire looked at her, thence on to
Luclle. Sarah's head was up, her eyes
diiect, hei lips soft but full of character.
With her vivid personality she mnde
Luclle seem washed out, poor and furtive.
Advancing to her he took her hand, ask
ing, "Is It all settled betwixt you and
Jack Bavne?"
"No, nor ever will be." Sarah cried
merrily. "Don't you,, see that was pan
of the game? I played It Just to make
Luclle" a certain hard Inflection over
the name ''see henelf as she was. Let
the wedding go o, all right. I shan't
Interfere. And I don't think even a trip
abroad will make me say 'Yes' to Jack."
"Forgive the Impertinence but you nre
sure?" the squire queried.
Luclle stood snubbing hard. Sarah gave
her a compassionate glance. "She really
wants Billy. Let her have him," she said
Irrelevantly.
The squire shook his head, saying, "I
taut she can't get hlm-raftei this. Be
cause I have fought all along Uie fact
that Billy wants you."
