EMOTIONS CAUSE SKIN AILMENTS

Telling e patient that his lymp- tcms-rapld heart beat, cough, in- digestion, diarrhoea — are due to nervousness or run-down condition of the nervous system, readily is believed by most of us because we know it to be true with ourselves and others. But telling a patient that his skin ailments are due to nervous tension, is not so readily believed yet that the emotions can cause skin symptoms is just as true as it is concerning indigestion. diar- rhoea, frequent heart beat, and other elrnptums.

We all can remember some of the exciting or anxious moments in our lives and how perspiration calme out on our forehead and hands, we have blushed with sharme or blanched with fear.

Beauty Only Skin Deep

Personality “Anauggzlnsl ‘Emily Preferred

If every women could have her heart's desire. the one thing she would ask her Fairy Godmother for vrould be beauty. Perhaps there isn't a granddaughter of Eve who doesn't devoutly believe that her face is her fortune and that if she had a peaches-and-cream complex- ion, a wlllowy figure and naturally curly hair, all of her choicest bless- ings of life would be handed to her on a silver salver.

Hence if Old Mother Nature has been skimpy with her in doling out good looks. she spends her time and her money and "her energy trying to cre- ate a synthetic pulchritude that she depends upon to make her popular in society, get her a good husband with plenty of money, provide her with mink coats and cars and all the other dodads that women crave. It is because women put their faith in looks and not in works that l0 many of them never even try to get an education. or to fit themselves for any trade or profession, that thousands of them find themselves stranded on the shore of hard luck when the first little fragile bloom of youth is gone.

Of course. all of us admire u pretty face. We like to look at a liv- ing picture. But, as a mutter of fact, there is no other quality that. wo- men possess that is so over-rated as their beauty. Barring the few who are grotesquely ugly, the looks of the average woman have little to do with her success in the world.

HANDICAP IN BUSINESS

Indeed for a business girl to be elected Miss America in a beauty contest is a handicap rather than a help to her. Wives do not push the fortunes of their husbands‘ beauteous blond secretaries. Nor are employers keen on hiring little queens who attract the man trade that comes to flirt. but not to buy. And while men rave over the prettles, they oftencr than otherwise marry girls who have just plain, durable faces that look as if they would stand the wear and tear of matrimony.

A clever woman, who has been making an interesting study of this subject and who mites her findings and conclusions on it to this column, gays:

"Several years ago I got to wondering about vrhat lt is in a woman that sets her apart from other women and makes her remembered. So I wrote down the names of the women who had oftencst come pleas- antly to my mind during the last twenty years, and I listed them under the titles of ‘beautiful.’ or ‘pretty,’ or ‘plain,’ or ‘homely.’

‘The first one that I recall was an ‘exceedingly pfetty girl, who had been an old school mate, but I did not remember her at all for her looks, but. for her daintiness and the fragrance of violets that always hung around her. There was a homely woman I remembered because of her graciousncss and the interested and absorbed way she always listened when you talked to her.

"A super-charmer came into my mind because she had such a keen sense of hmior, but I didn't even remember how she looked. Then there was a young girl whose name I never even knew, but she still lived ill my memory for her radiant, heart-warming smile that made her see-m always to leave a trail of light behind her. And so it went. Of all the women whom I recalled across the years there was not one whom I remembered for her beauty, or because of her lack of it. It was her personality that lived with me."

I hand these words of cheer to the girls who bewail their lack o-f good looks. Beauty isn't worth the value they put upon it. It is per- sonality and intelligence and character that lasts longer than ones complexion.

A New Year of untried days- utcept of course this one, stretches ahead. Good and beguiling its pos- sibilities appear. Surely given all its hours there will be time in it to do the manwthings one lmd hoped to accomplish-or enjoy in the old year, which knew no loiter- ing. But again one is uncertain even eof the hour ahead. ’I'hen lt is neither past nor future, out the present which must be used with much thought, nor should one presume, so fleeting and precious it is, to fritter the minutes, thc hours, the days heedlessly away.

This is the New Year's Day. It was hailed as I had suspected by a small forgatherlng at this farm- house to wake the dying hours cf the old and welcome the new with the same old wish. For me, this has been the first New Years spent altogether away from Alder-lea. ll‘- a long time. In fact I dearcn my memory in vain to find othcm, though they have appeared occa- sionally. I know, through the now dimmer years. I searched too the grey of this morning's skies "fl find an amber or rosy promise w.’ a rising sun. Even though the year at hand may be beguiling in its promises one looks for good omenl.
