For Years magasines and newspapers et al have given space to success stories about men—notably and gen- erally about men who have blazed new trafls in flelds of commerce, the arts or the sclences. They have glven space to women, too, but con- siderably less space, because women ST MARGERY WILSON, Posseswor of “That Something.” have not sung so many songs of ac- complishment; or rather, they have not been the kind of songs to catch the public ear. Lullabys, perhay Of course. in this past generation things have changed. More and more women's names "are taking their places beside the. names of men in the divers fields of endeavor. Women have entered politics, the sciences, productive and mercantile lines, ad- vertising. ete. Margery Wilson has entercd the productive line—the motion picture species. But, like all those who are markedly successful, she has done more than that. She has done that little bit more than the probable, herselt among the Bes™ ehe"Has nov only. produced pictures, but she has written the stories for them and then acted in reater industry—or shall y_energy?—has no woman than And still more so, for a girl not yet twenty-five. Margery Wilson had no training back of her when she started out to “seek her fortune,” as the good old fairy tales say. She had only her motivating desire, her “ideal” and the goodly sum of $3.50. “Youth always has an ideual,” Miss Wilson told me the other day while lunching with me at the Woman Pays Club in New York. “Youth feels flamingly that it has something.spe- clal to glve. I felt—do feel—that I have something special to give through pictures. But I want to have my pictures completely me. That I want to do the story, the produc- tion and some of the acting.

Listen,Wo WRITTEN AND 1LLUSTRATED By Elsie obunson My friend Helen is beginning to feel better. For some years she has been failing in health—tired, flabby in spirit as well as body, unable to digest anything well. Now the doc- tor says it has all been due to im- proper eating. Ever since they came into their money, Helen's diet, like her pro- gram, ‘has been growing softer and softer. Helen went to her doctor ex- pecting something fashionable in the way of a disease, something in keep- ing with her station, as it were. In- stead, he told her bluntly to eat bran! He said she needed “roughage’—that she wasn't digestion a fair chance with all these creamy spiced foods she was eating. Likewise he intimated that she'd bet- ter introduce a little roughage into her plan of living also. Some stiff exercise, some hard, necessary and, ! it possible, rather dirty work! Good advice, wasn't it? Ye for all of us as well as Helen. We all need more roughage. Our present phase of civilization is as bad for us as Helen's pampering diet was bad for her. We've eliminated too much roughage and we're getting sour and flabby without. it. Everything is done for us, even our thoughts come to us predigested. How many of us ever grapple with life in the raw? We work—yes. We work for other ‘pevple, along lines laid down by other people, and find it good BEAUTY CHATS The Bathing Girl. The strong sun that comes at the end of June and lasts all through July and August need have no terrors for the bathing girl if she takes a few precautions. And the first thing to consider is the bathing suit. Now_ the less one has on, in the way of frills and flounces, the easier and pleasanter it is to swim or bathe. But if you burn easily and want to keep your skin moderately white, you simply must not go in for ball- room decollete on the beach If you want to protect your skin from the sun, have your suit cut with a V opening and a wee ocollar that “Just Hats” By Vyvyan A Real Tube Rose.

Now, candy is a food and children really need it, but it has been used as a lure or a reward or a great pleasurs to such an extent that grown folk as well as children have lost sight of that homely fact. Candy Is food. Would you think of rewarding or coaxing a child with a baked potato and a glass of milk? Of course not. That's his supper, and supper is not & treat to the pampered of America. But a bit of chocolate now—just the sort the soldler carrled in his pack to relieve the hunger and fatigue of a long march—give him that. That's a treat and a reward and a celebration. And we're not too careful to ask, if the child needs the food, what he ate for his luncheon the hour before. Not at all. “The dear child! How leased he would be with a chocolate. all have it and smile with glad- ness.” So he gets it and smiles—for a while. But supper time finds him without Interest.
