Does Beauty Bring Happiness to a Woman?
IN SPITE of all ndverae criticism and
contrary opinion on the subject, the
average woman Is possessed of a very
strong desire to be beautiful. For beauty
has for long been regarded as woman's
most potent weapon. And et It Is open
to doubt whether beauty really brings
milch happiness to a woman. Assuredly
It brings her a grcnt deal of worry nnd
trouble. It's Just possible, however, that
ho enjoys that particular brand of worry.
"The pretty woman always will have
lovers," declared an authority on tlte sub
ject recently, "even though she be dull
nd Insipid to a degree. For beauty al
ways will charm. AVomen really wero
meant to be beautiful. I alwayB feel
very sorry for the homely woman, for
she will have many disappointments In
this world."
There are many people, however, who
hold a contrary opinion to this. Two
men were discussing the question, and
the more woriuiy wise declared that
beauty was more of a burden than any
thing olse to a woman. "The woman who
Is beautiful," said ho emphatically, "has
a very great deal to contend with. Un
less she Is remarkably level-headed, she
has many temptations nnd many chancea
to get Into really serious trouble, chances
which never come to her plainer sisters.
Men will always run after a pretty wom
an, and not always with the best Inten
tions, either, A certain class of men can
not resist a pretty face ami must alwass
be hatching up Schemes nnd 'furcating
more or less (sentimental situations which
are entirely Insincere and meaningless."
"Yes," said tho other man, "and the
pretty girl has quite as many disappoint
ments as the plain girl sometimes more.
For shells never sure If she really Is
CHILDREN'S CORNER
Reddy Squirrel
"IT
JLv ci
YOU know what has Just oc
curred to me7" asked Ileddy Squir
rel of his little mate one day.
"No, of course I don't," she laughingly
replied. "What are you thinking about
now ?"
"I'm thinking about Frisky Cottontail,"
said Reddy. thoughtfully: "we haven't
seen him for the longest time! Not since
early In the spring. I wonder what he Is
doing all this time? He used to come to
see us often."
"Better look him up," suggested Mrs.
Reddy; "mahe something has happened
to him. He might need help."
So, without any more talking, Reddy
set out in ueaich of his friend. Now, of
couise Rtddy and Frisky Cottontail wero
not related at all, but they had lived near
each other In the big woods for man a
day. And they had become very good
friends. Most woods creatures who are
not natuial enemies are very friendly,
you know, and Reddy and Frisky were no
exception to the rule.
As fast as his little feet would carry
him, Reddy I an toward Frlsky's home.
But not a sign of either Frisky or his
little mate did he see. "They surely must
be In their nest," Reddy told himself,
"otherwise they would be running about
near by." He went clear up to the nest
In the hollow of the old stump and ran
around on the inside, but no cottontails
did he And. Nor, what was stranger still,
could he see any sign of their having
been there lately.
Finally he gave up and came outdoors
-In ''Oii-a1i. tl,o mm, liota miv.d '
'he said to himself thoughtfully, "though
why they would Ieae such a nice home
as tills, I can't Imagine."
He slipped Into the shadow of the old
log, determined to wait and see if he
could get any news of Frisky and his
doings.
Presently there was a soft nhlr In tho
air and Billy Robin darted down right In
front of Reddy. It wasn't hard to see
why he had come, for Immediately he
began to devour the biggest, fattest worm
Reddy had ever seen. Reddy watched
like the wise, patient little fellow that he
Is, till Billy Robin had 'finished his lunch
and polished off his bill Then he said
politely, "Good morning,. Friend Billy

FEMININE
By Ellen Adair
loved for herself alone. She attracts eas
ily, of course, but then attraction Is a
Meeting nfTalr unless there Is something
very strong and permanent behind to
hold. And that's where the pretty girl
too often falls. She has been Imbued
with the Idea that her prettlness Is going
to carry her triumphantly through life,
and she has neglected to cultivate many
of tho qualities which the plain girl has
long since decided that she had better
cultivate If sho Is going to mako any
sort of success In her life."
This question of the relation between
beauty and happiness admits of many
conclusions Many of the most beautiful
women In the world have had lives so
filled with tragedy that In comparison
the plain women are lucky. Mary, Queen
or fecots, for Instance, waB one of tho
loveliest of women, yet at the same time
a most unhappy lady. The last culminat
ing act In tho tragedy of her wonderful
career was really due to the misfortune
of her beaut. For that self-same beauty
had aroused the Jealousy of Queen Eliza
beth Queen Mary's beautiful ladles-ln-wnlt-Ing,
those exquisite ladles of high degree
known as the Four Jtarjs, had no very
happy lives, either Onevof them perished
on the scaffold; and In the old Scotch song
she bewails h'er fatal gift of beauty:
Oh happy, happy la tho maid that's born of
b.nuiy free:
It wan my dliripllni; ros ihceki bne proved
tho curse of me
There Is, however, a reverse sldo to tho
picture. Ileauty rightly used Is a won
derful tiling, and Its possessor should give
thanks every day for such a tilesslng. The
chief trouble lies In the fact that so many
women misuse their beauty and employ
It In various nefarious ways that never
can bring happiness cither to themselves
or to others.
Yes, beauty can bring happiness to a
woman, but only when combined with
qualities that endure. Fineness of char
acter and a generous heart will always
render a thing of beauty a veritable Joy
forever.
Goes Visiting-
Robin, may you always And worms ns
good as that one wns!"
Billy whirled around to see who was
talking. "Oh, It's you, Reddy Squirrel,"
he replied, "may you always have more
nuts than you can eat!"
'I'lea&c, Billy Robin, have you any-'
where In your travels come across my
friend Frisky Cottontail? He seems to
hnve moved "
He began to devour the biggest, latest
worm Deddy had even seen.
"Oh, yes, I see him every day," an
swered Billy promptly; "he lives In the
same yard I live In. I saw him this verv
day making a nest In a golden glow bed."
"A golden glow bed!" exclaimed Reddy
In amazement, "what a funny place to
live. Does he like It?"
"Cio aBk him yourself," replied Billy
Robin; "I never know whether folks like
their homes I always think they do."
"I believe I will make a call on him,"
said Reddy. "Will you show me the
way?"
"To be sure! To be sure!" chirped Billy;
"come right this way!" And away he
flew with Reddy running straight behind
him. And that Is the way Reddy Squirrel
happened to call on Frisky Cottontail In
his new home In the big city.

"If It takes two to make a quarrel,
we're the two," Mary flale declared,
"Uecauso you make mountains of golf
tees, dear," Carlyle explained In n su
perlor tone
"How fortunate you have discovered in
tlmo what a disagreeable person I am,"
flashed Mnry. "But let me assure ou

of matrimony and selecting Instead nn
ocean liner, remaining nbroad live years
At a reception In Mary's honor upon
her return, there was no one she wel
comed more graciously than Cnrljle. Hers
was disarming cordiality.
The plan was made to go from place to
place In Carlyle's motor and visit the
scenes of old quarrels.
"Whero first?" asked Cnrlyle, ns they
were speeding down the avenuo the next
morning In his car. "Ha- you our
guldo book?"
Mary promptly drew forth n red illaiy.
"Country Club," she directed.
"Tho quarrel?" he smiled when the
were seated In comfortable chairs on the
plarza,
"Uecnuse I was pleasant to Bertie 1 III -lard,"
she blushed, "to punish you for
being late."
"Unreasonable of ou to be angry be
cause I was late, Jlary. in inose nays
business kept mo tied down."
"You were nlways late," defended Maiy.
"I spent most of my time wnltlng for
you."
"There's Bertie now," said Cnrlyle
"But we won't quarrel about him any
more he's married."
"Theie are," admitted Mnry, "worse
faults than being late."
"I'm not so busy now so you see oui

quarrels haven't stood the test of time,
snld Carlylc.
"It takes more than two qunrrels to
break an engagement," said Mary, flip
ping the pages of her diary. "Our next
one occurred beneath the tree near the
fourth green." There was something
business-like In her manner as sho led
the- way across the links.
"Like old tlmeB," commented Carlyle.
"I haven't arrived at an ngo to en
Joy living In tho past," said Mary
crisply.
"The present Is good enough." ngreed
Carlyle, as they sat clown on a rustic
bench "I'm glad you are willing to bury
thp nnnt."
"I meant nothing of the kind," stormed
Mary. "We will now take up the quarrel
that marks this spot."
"Why this Is where I told ou I loved
you!" declared Carlyle "Let me seethat
book." He extended his hand, but Mary
shook her head.
"You can't!" she said.
"Little girl, don't you suppose I re
member distinctly what happened here?
Instead of reviving old quarrels let's
stnrt all over again beneath this dear
old tree." Carlyle's olce was compell
ing. Man's face was averted ns she an
swered. "There would be new quarrels I make
mountains of golf tecs'"
. 11 agree to be compatible to all your
Incompatibilities." he smiled "I love
Mary when she's contrary."
"You think jou do but you don't,"
she quoted Then with a scream of te,
ror she Jumped on the bench, for com
ing toward them wns an amiable-looking
cow Marj's terror was not affected
for she made no distinctions In bovlnes.
"Marj," snld Carlylc with a solemn
air, "we are In peril Here, that red
book would divert him " Before Mary
could protest, her diary was thrown as
a hostage to the enemy. Carlyle followed
her as she tied toward the clubhouse.
"We might have been killed'" gasped
Mary, sinking Into a chair.
Carlyle concealed with difficulty his ela
tion nt the fate of the volume which kept
Injuries fresh In Mary's mind Then a
disquieting thought struck him Suppose
Mary's diary was found.
"Mary!" he said. "I'll go and And your
book Some ono may read It."
"No, no, no'" cried Mary excitedly.
"You mustn't'"
Unheeding he moved off.
"Bobby' or my sake don't go." There
was consternation In her face.
'Why, little girl " he exclaimed Joyfullj
"There Is no danger. The creature has
gone by this time."
At this instant a young man In white
flannels came up.
"Pardon me, but does this book belong
to either of you? It's brand new and had
no name In It but I thought"
"Yes, It's mine, thank you," she inter
rupted. 'A new diary?" queried Carlyle, as
tonished. "Yes: I burned tho old one four years
ngo,"
"Then why did you pretend?" began
Carlyle.
"I wanted an excuse to visit our tree
without seeming too sentimental," she
confessed boldly. "You may think what
you like of me."
"I think you are adorable," declared
Carlyle,
"I'm glad I bought that diary," sighed
Mary happily. "It will be so nice to keep
golf scores In. But," as an afterthought,
"we'll let the old scores go!"

A Jet-Trimmed Evening Gown
TUB real advantage about the sprlnp
or summer evenltiB gown In the fact
that It must not necessarily be strictly
format In line, color or trimming. The
woman who thinks of spending her sum
mer at tho seashore, at ono of tho large
and fashionable hotels, will nnd In the
gown shown here one of the most useful
of frocks. It Is, of course, an evening
gown, but It la tho kind of a gown which
will wear well, and, being black, -will
be suitable for any occasion,- Pastel
shades are still popular, but the unchal
lenged fitness of black for dancing, cards
or simply a stroll nlong the "boardwalk,
makes It always fashionable.
This gown has also a outhf illness of
line which belles the sombre color, Tho
extrernely bouffant skirt and tho very
decollete bodice- Is most becoming to the
young matron. The outer gown Is an
elaborate creation of black tulle. The
bodlco Is made of a loose blouse of tulle,
edged with straps of Jet beading. The
sleeves In name only are distinctively
odd, with their little straps and a long
