NO man If capable nf appreciating what It means
to h girl to be prettx
Frcmi the time she realizes It. and you can
never tell quite when that moment arrives, she Is a
changed creature for the rest of hei Ilf’’. The world
offers a. million possibilities to th< girl who is pretty,
or who thinks she is. and It withholds some of them
from her who I* not comely
Now. 1 believe every girl can hr pretty unless af
flicted by Nature nith some \ er\ terrible misfortune,
and every’ yea l science Is helping the girl to over
come these misfortunes. s<» that she has each year a
greater chance to be nice looking.
I don't mean that she shall be a beauts. f«»r it is
doubtful whether the beauty is ever as happy or con
tented except for a short time as the girl who is
charming and attractive, but who does not collect a
crowd when she goes out for a walk
Every mot he desires above all things that her
daughter shall be good io look upon for she know -
how much easier the battle of life is for the girl of
pi cpossessing appearance.
I'sually the mothers and aunts and other female
relatives discuss baby Dorothy's future assets in the
way of looks while she is still in lici bassinet, trying
to crowd her pink little tinge: s into h«-r rosy mouth
Rut the same relatives seldom endeavor to start hei
nn the road to prettiness which begins in the crib,
mind you. where features are formed and bad or good
habits acquired, which may change the child's face
for life. 1 kn w a girl of sixteen once, an English
gi’l. who would have been quite a beauty if it had not
been that all hr front teeth and upper gum were

little attention to her large brood ”f children. "Rut.
th*n. it really doesn’t matte 1 , does it'.' I think she has
•meh an intellectual fare, so spiritual. You know she
always sucked her thumb when she was a child: In
deed. she sucks it still. Isn’t it a quaint childlike
habit?’*
1 didn't say anything, since Monica was not my
child. Xnd I have found that vnu can do almost any -
thing but criticise a child to its own mother, no
1 m how good your intentions are Rut Monica, who
began sucking her thumb in her crib, laid the founda

; Teach Your Baby to Crave Fresh Air To Be Pretty '
Some children seem to enjoy lyjnsr with their ears
curled up under them, and the latest way to correct
this is a simple strip of net. wide in the middle and
narrowing toward the ends, hound with tape and two
strings which are attached under the child's chin, the
net cap going over the cars and holding them in place.
The cap is only about three inches wide, and allows
plenty of ventilation.
The skeleton cap. which is made of pieces of tape,
can be bought for a trifle, or made at home and.
s'erves the same purpose, that of keeping the ears in
place.
So many young girls cornplain of the shape of their
noses that 1 Should like to issue a handkerchief edict

mbre careful in manipulating the baby pug nose,
which can so easily be pulled out of shape. You will
find that persons who use their handkerchiefs with an
upward flourish and considerable vigor usually have
slightly upturned z noses, and while nothing is uglier
than this habit, it is one of the surest ways of helping
the p’tg nose t<i do its worst.
A baby's nose Is almost as soft as putty and th»

you were trying to pull away from its green top.
Begin from the cradle to teach your future pretty
girl some little habits of self-control, and don't rock
her or jounce her up and down, because the latter is
exceedingly bad for the child, anyhow, and is one of
the many ways grown people have of harming the

slung over the mother’s hip and carried over her arm,
or it is allowed to support the weight of its own head
too early. Bahy's head should always be supported as

be passed under the child's feet, the hammock idea
being the ideal way to carry a child.

A Permanent Cure For
Chronic Constipation
Although those may dispute it who
have not tried it. yet thousands of
others, w'ho speak from personal experi
ence. assert that there Is a permanent
cure for chronic constipation. Some '
testify they were cured for as little as
fifty cents, years ago. and that the
trouble never came back on them, while ,
others admit they took several bottles
before a steady cure was brought about
The remedy referred to is Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepstn. It has been on '
the market for over a quarter of a I
century and has been popularized on its
merits by one person telling another.
The fact that its strongest supporters
are women and elderly people—the ones
most persistently constipated—makes it
certain that the claims regarding it as
a permanent cure for constipation, have
sot been exaggerated

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
J BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
THERE may bn mothers of very
properly brought-up and scien
tifically pruned and trimmed
maidens who have never had a mo
ment's doubt if Daysey Mayme Apple
ton is an Example or a Warning.
They believe she is a Warning. Per
haps she Is. Everybody is a warning
to somebody for some reason.
We are all Danger Signals, byt not
many of us know it.
But if engaged in her numerous love
affairs, whether in her capacity as an
influence in the Up-Lift, or in her so
cial ambition, Daysey Mayme has her
good points.
She always comes up unrehuffed, and
never looks as if she needed a Con
tentment Pill.
If in the transports of requited love
or in the pangs of a love that is not
returned, she enjoys it. Naturally, she
always takes it mote seriously than the
man for the reason that he has a mus
tache to divert hts attention.
If rebuffed In her efforts to raise hu
manity to the Up-Lift, she smiles and
hunts up a new scheme for reform.
If her social ambitions fail to raise
her to cut glass society, she finds
greater pleasure, and more diversion, in
the empty jelly glass crowd.
She is popular because she laughs
heartily at the jokes of others, and only
titters at her own.
The Sour-Souled Kind.
There are some people who do not
laugh enough, having tasted so much
in their lives that is sour that the taste
has settled In their souls, hut this can
not be charged against Daysey Mayme.
She goes into a whirlwind of giggles
when a man sneezes in church, and
snickers at the drop of a hat. She
shakes and quakes and quivers in
laughing in a manner tn drive a sour
faced president and Chief Squee-wee
of a W. C. T. U. to drink.
She makes over her ideals too often
to suit those who demand Constancy.
But a girl's Ideals are never made
over as often before she gets a 4 man
as her dreases are afterward.
When any one makes her a gift, she
gets out a tom-tom and beats it anti
calls attention to the generosity of the
donor, and, consequently, soon gets an
other.
This proves that Daysey Mayme is
shrewd, and does some thinking under
her fifty-seven different varieties of
hair.
And she never thinks tn quite such

good purpose as when in love.
The drug clerk is an unfortunate se
lection for her affections, for the rea
son that the Appletons don’t require
many things from a drug store. In
these days of medicated religion, few
do.
Better Chance in Grocery.
She gets more opoprtunities for see
ing a Best Beloved when he clerks in a
grocer.v, for there is always a time
w'hen snap, or matches, or potatoes, will
pave the way to a meeting.
tin one occasion she was In love with
a man who clerked in a dry goods
store, and while the fever of love was
at its height she secured samples of
every hit of muslin and silk and ginge
ham in the house.
There was nothing left to go back for,
as the sewing machine drawers were
loaded with thread, and the closets
were cramped with samples. When, oh
jov! Her mother asked her to get ten
yards of calico. She wanted to make
a house dress for herself, she said, and
she gave Daysey Mayme a piece to
match. '
Daysey Mayme thought and thought.
Suppose she went to the store and HE
was not there! Ten yards of opportu
nity wasted!
To make sure of seeing him, and to
make sure of seeing him often, she de
cided to get the calico a yard at a
time.
Daysey Mayme. happy in her ingen
uous scheme, went in and bought one
yard, and had it wrapped up. Oh,
bliss! He waited on her.
Again Me Waited on Her,
She left the store with her bundle,
walked around the block and stopped
in the store, and got a second yard.
Oh, joy! Again he waited on her.
This time she walked around the
block with two bundles under her arms,
and next time it was three. Then four,
then five, then six. and so on till she
left the store with a sad little sigh. For
she had the ten sards and there was
no necessity for calling at the store
again.
When she handed her mother the
calico in ten different packages, there
was a scene that awakened the babies
in the next block. A lullaby sung by
a prime donna couldn't have been more
effective.
Rut Daysey Mayme didn't care, for
she had seen her Best Beloved ten
times!
