Personalty J’s
That’s what makes a woman a
success. F
Beauty? Yes, it’s desirable. ‘
The ability to dress well? It’s aa
important consideration.
Talent? An excellent thing.
But without “personaitiy” they’re
not enough . ,
True, with them alone a measure
of success may be attained. But 50
small a measure,” to comparison
with the degree which may be at-
tained with "personality" toe. [
To measure them, one with an-
other. some kind of a yardstick to
required. How will the financial
yardstick dot
Measured in Cash
Well then, as representing beauty
talent, and ability to drees, com-
bined, bet down, the sum of $300.
To these three qualities, plus "per-’,
sonality," set down the sum of
$2,500.
In the opinion of a competent
authority, that’s how they com-
pete.
But that isn’t all.
The authority quoted assumed, in
case No. 1, a fairer face, a com-
pleter understanding Of the possi-
bilities of dress, and a' great deal
more talent than in case No. 2.
The two plays to be staged by
the Players’ Club at the Kemp
Library Friday and Saturday night
and at a Saturday matinee are
those by two of America’s most
popular playwrights. Zone Gale has
endeared herself to the reading
public with her Inimitable charae-
terizations of Friendship Village.
“Neighbors,” the play to be given
at this time, has proved a favorite.
In none of the author’s writings, it
is believed, to there a better char-
acterization of “just folks," sim-
ple, human people with whom one
laughs and weeps, than in "Neigh-
bors."
No less popular are the plays of
Alice Gerstenberg. “Unseen" is a
different type from Gerstenberg’s
“Overtones," presented by the club
last year, but considered equally as
entertaining.
A feature of the program will be

1 have just finished reading, dear
heart, the sweetest’ love letter a
woman ever received.
I was somewhat surprised to read
its outspoken love, for notwith-
standing you have, been a very sat-
isfactory lover, yet always when 1
have been with you and yea have
said it, there seemed to be a little
reticence on your part, as though
you did not say to me all the things
that you were thinking, but in this
first love letter you have ever writ-
ten to me you have seemed to pour
out your entire soul. oh John. if you

said, “Stop a minute. Let’s get this

me the funniest questions: how
many times you had called upon me
during the day, how many times you
had left your business to “fool"
around with me, how many times
we had gone to the theater together,
could you dance well, were you an

Everything la life has its list

The heaviest Borrow that over
befell mortal man to one thing
on paper—and another thing to
experience.
We call ourselves “Christians,”
we speak of “Christendom." But
the Master’s teaching was one of
perfection, nothing less, and
which one of us, since the Her
mon on the Mount wee preached,
has not taken his heavy discount
on that?
If men and women, marrying in
the radiant flush of young love,
would make a mental resolve to
allow for the trade discount,
how few divores” there would bet
It to because we all have la
mind that one hundred per cent:
of perfection, that Hot price, that
the blow to so bitter when the
man of the house takes a eland
about asking the Watsons to din-
ner or to cool to darling Mama.
Thousands of young women, all
over the land today, are unhappy
because they fancy that there
are lives that do not have to pay
that heavy discount. They don’t
realize 'that the more conspleu-
ously happy and successful a life
seems to be the more probable it
to that that very life is entirely
devoid of the true sweetness of
living. ?—
Give your husband, and the
children, and the school, and the
neighbors the advantage of that

efit of it are dead. And some M

“We call ’ ourselves “Christians,”

Master’s teaching was one of per-
fection, nothing less, and which one
of us.” since the Sermon on the
Mount was preached, has not taken
his heavy discount on that? 1

How to Wipe Out Divorce
If men and women, marying in the
radiant flush of young love, would
make a mental resolve to allow for
the trade discount, how few divorces
there would be!
It is because we all have in mind
that one hundred per cent, of per-
fection, that list price, that the blow
is eo bitter when the man of the
house takes a stand about asking
the Watsons to dinner or to cool to
darling Mama.
Thousands of ehUdrea, all over
the land, are being made unhappy
today because mothers and teach-
ers are exacting from them that
visionary hundred per seat, of po-
liteness. responsive nose, beauty,
cleanliness, health and intelligence.
“Mother, I get Baby asleep, and
I've done my homework," says hap-
py little Ten, in the doorway.
“Shut that door, and next time
use the back stairs snd go wash
those filthy hands" says Mother.
Tea obeys. But she never forgets.
Why Women Are Unhappy
Thousands of young women all
over the land today, are unhappy
because they fancy that there are
lives that do not have to pay that
heavy discount.
They don't realise that the more
conspicuously happy and successful
a life seems te be, the more probable
it to that that very life to entirely
devoid of the true sweetness of
.living.
