Page Four *6urke Says . BW. SMSi w JxA \ v MISS BILLIE BURKE. L The Flrot Word —It lg not a mark of great Intelligence to neglect your body. • • • Among the many letters I receive every day I am sure to get some from two different types of women. One takes the ultra-intellectual pose unw teiU me that, she thinks the cultiva tion of brains* is of miicli more ini-., purtame than the cultivation of ones* physique. The other seems to ba<¥ no brains at all and insists that! send her adrice right away on how ah* can be made beautiful, over night, without any thought. 1 am afraid neither of these will ever be noted for great beauty. -/ -. tp the first plare, we should remem ber that Dame Nature tikes into no account a woman’s mentality or her spiritual side. If she lives properly in the material .sense and in time re produces her kind it la ail that Nature asks of her. * ' ~ Man. however, has asked. more of woman as ctvl Illation baa advanced.

Most men love beauty more than brains. Beauty docs not -tire- them, and brainy womeifaFe alWkya~hsking qudstiong which It bores them at tttnes. to answer. I doubt if even in the ex ceptional caaan of. the.men. who ad mire brainy women wtti they seek them out if thev do not care for them selves physically, I know no woman who habitually neglects her* body and yet has a happy disposition, particularly If she has an active brain. And such a woman always is ready to say unkind things about the woman who. by doing toe very things the leaves undone, make themselves c joy forever to those with whom they come In con tact. There is no reason why a brilliant mind should not add expression to the eye, and we all know that Joyous thoughts brldg a velvety softness to iVI [ y ■ c j^v Headquarters for Handkerchiefs £?

Every one of the blemhises that are allowed to come through neglect of,your beeuty is a reflection of a cor responding bias in your brain. The myst beautiful women 1 have known have been women who not only had Drains,' but knew bow to use them properly, who.realised the foolishness of Stow mnp*-on-good- grooming and ~*1!d that beauty was al ways anew appeiu which would usual ly be answered when the hard facts of the most brilliantly cut mind would make their claim in vain. Wake up, bh, yotr women, w ho have prided yourselves upon your Intel lectuality and declared that a beauty regime was too trivial for those of your caliber to endure. Look fnto your Overzealousness While journeying along through life I often call to mind Zeo Wiggins, who was always In a fret; He really wai at heart most conscien tious of mankind. Assuming all the burdens he could get Zeb took a steamboat once. He needed travel and repose. The doctor said, “Give all your cares the slip." But he somehow got a notion, why or how nobody knows. That he ought to help the captain • . run the ship, He sat up all the night to watch for Icebergs on the bow, Though mm ill ng where the latitude was warm. f He thought the porpoises were whales who infant to raise a row. And every cloud loomed up with threats of stortn. He broke into the pilot housa They had to throw him out. A nervous wreck, he finished up the trip And said the fact that all were safe was due beyond a doubt To the way he helped the captain run the ship. —Washington Star.
