THE GEORGIAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE e e The Making of a Pretty Girl > > UTHEN a girl is between twelve / and sixteen she is said to beat the ungraceful age. Personally. I think it the first dan gerous age. and there are several others, for a woman does not stop at 40. as the heroine of a famous story se«ms to believe. The impressions gathered by the child at this ungrateful gge are deep and not easily effaced it I* now that she gets her first ideas of her own future and she begins to set a standard for herself, according to the influences which are brought to bear upon hrr. Between twelve and sixteen a girl „ nr, idea if her own good look-, find she begins tn try and enhance them Her vanity develops often this vanity is like a hothouse plant stimu lated by the constant attention she re ceives from the members of her family, who don’t hesitate to sat.

The anaemic girl simply has not force enough In her system to throw off the Impurities In the skin. Th» blood doesn’t circulate properly, and it is useless to expect these spots and blotches to disappear until the root of the matter has been remedied. In our system of education the hard est part of school life comas just at the time when a girl needs rest, quiet, and the most care. No wonder our best scholars are nervous or anaemic and break down at examinations If the pretty girl’s parents want he to get through her school days without losing the vitality and strength which she needs, they should see that she gets plenty of fresh air, the moat wholesome and simple kind of food, enough amusement and healthy recrea tion. and 1s in bed early every night.

Getting On In Life By THOMAS TAPPER. i. THE novels of Charles Dickens may be tailed, in one sense, the orig inal moving picture idea. Dickens has the faculty of throwing his pictures on the screen of the reader's mind so sharply that he needs no other ma ; chine to see and enjoy them. Os course, the faculty that Dickens had which enabled 'him to do this as a writer came from his habit of looking lat the world about him; of looking at it ha r d. of seeing it clearly; and then of making a man in New Zealand, or In dia. or Labrador see it bv means of a printed page. Any one who wants to get on in life should cultivate this habit of looking at I the great show that goes on about us forever an ever; of looking at it hard, seeing it clearly, and then getting from it all its particular meaning. It Is a great habit, and a great help, for it teaches us to draw conclusions from what we see. But we should see much and draw few conclusions until we are sure of drawing approximately the right 'ones. It Is Impossible to overestimate the value of the life about us. as a means of education. We look down at our feet too much, and not enough about us and above us. The telescope man in Union Square will never get rich, even though he is doing business tn a city of some mil lions of people Why? Because few of us know what a privilege it is to look up above our heads and sec what is there. F'or a ten-cent piece you can see the rings of Saturn and its moons, or the craters and mountains of the moon. It is true that Saturn itself looks about as big as a and its eight moons like pinheads Rut it is a wonderful sight, nevertheless, one never to be forgot ten. one that will brace up the mind in many an odd moment of foolishness or sorrow. Anyone who is out after moving pic tures should not tnlss this one. You would be surprised to know what can be «een in the heavens, even with an opera glass. The moon, through an ■ opera glass, is such a glorious sight i that you will never again think of it as t cause of good luck or bad luck, ac- : cording as you happen to see it. 11. The fact Is, we do not see what Is near us. A student of Professor Agas siz of Harvard tells us that when he ; went to Cambridge to study w'fth that great scientist his first task was to look at a dead fish and report what he saw. Professor Agassiz left him and came hack In an hour The young-roan han dled the dead fish as any pne would who thinks he sees everything In about one minute. He reported and was in formed that he had not even made a beginning. Agassiz gave him two hours for the next report. The fish was becoming more and more hateful to the young man. Suddenly, however, he thought he would begin and draw It on paper. Then, he said, he really began to see it. Agassiz came back after a while, and this time encouraged him a little. "But you have missed the most impor tant thing. Look again.” And so It went on hour after hour, day after day, until finally the young man actually began to see what he was looking at. He afterward said that one lesson made a man and an ob server of him. It convinced him that HE COULD NOT SEE THE THINGS BEFORE HIS OWN EYES. Agassiz taught him that fact, and convinced him of It. Few people have the ability to state things exactly as they are. They do not see them as they are, and. natural ly, any report they make must be wrong, or partly wrong, which is Just as bad. Any one who can look and see what he looks at and tell the facts and noth ing but the facts to some one else, has learned the one great lesson of getting on. So the moving picture show of life about us is a great opportunity for training the mind and getting it on a business basts for facts and exact ness.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * ’ By Beatrice Fairfax RETURN HIS LETTERS. Dear Miss Fairfax; I am 23 and have been keeping com pany with a young gentleman two years my senior, who has been paying I considerable attention to me and has i proposed marriage. This gentleman was ' called to a different part of the country on business, at which place he has been stationed permanent, and tn our cor respondence there was a misunder standing. which caused considerable feeling. He asked for the return of all his correspondence, which I refused on the grounds that I thought there would be a little reconciliation, but he has not . written nor have I heard from him since. E. W. Return his letters, asking that he return yours. If you were in the wrong in th- misunderstanding a frank, friendly note to that effect will not be out of place, and I am sure will no« be misunderstood. But don’t let it express any love or anxiety. LET THIS END IT. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am seventeen and have been keep ing company for the past year with a man one year my senior. For the first six months everything glided, along < smoothly, and for the past six months we have been arguing constantly. Now he is angry and we have parted, and for the last two weeks I have not ‘ heard from him. I love him very much and he told me the same many times, but of late he has become very cold and does not seem to care anv more for me. E. H. P. C. Arguments before marriage become fierce quarrels after. You have always given In. you say. Doesn't this presage ] a married life of humility and oppres sion? It seems to me you are well off. because there has been a "last" quar- I rel. For you own future peace, see ' that It remains the last. ( THEN WHY NOT YOU? Dear Miss Fairfax: I am sixteen and was going with a ■ girl two years younger. One night we j had a disagreement and have not spoken since. I know she still loves , me. but she does not want to speak ■ first. B C. VV. You. being the man. are supposed to ' be stronger. Show it by being the first to surrender your owh way and will. Tell her you are sorry; take all the , blame on yourself and 1 am sure that ( vour spirit of fairness will awaken a similar spirit in her and all will be will. WHO IS AT FAULT? Dear Miss Fairfax: I was keeping ’company with a. young fellow whom I love very dearly. About six months ago we quarreled and part ed, As I love him very dearly I can not forget him. , If you were the one to offend. t“ll him so. But if he Is at fault and has maintained a stubborn silence for six months, it doesn't seem to me be is the man to make any girl happy. I beg of you that when you apologize you will not be too humble. If you are. you will find yourself tn the position of always taking the blame. TRY ANOTHER PLAN. Dear Miss Fairfax 1 have been going with a young gen tleman for nearly three years, and he gave m° a diamond engagement ring over a jeai ago. H. is working in the city and he gets $5 a day. Don’t you think we ought to get married, as I live in a lonely town and would like to get married this June? Don’t you think a girl has as much right to set the date as the fellow? I am afraid he takes other girls to theaters, and I think if he loved me as he says he does he would not go with others. He is tell ing me he would like to save a little more money; but I think that we can save more if we get married. VIOLET. It is the girl's privilege to sot the date when the man wants to marry, but When he favors a delay, as in your case, such action on her part makes her appear overly anxious. There is no doubt you could save more, especially If he is spending money on other girls, but no argument to that effect can convince him. Men are such stubborn creatures a better argument would be your absolute indifference. If he knows you want to tnarry ho will not be anxious to name the date. FOR MANY REASONS. NO.
