By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. _ “Men DO seek the society of the painted, overdressed girl and shun girl who is modest and natural,”—The Girls. ‘The most interesting fact brought out in the controversy of Bvening World readers over the paint-and-powder problem is that almost without exception the men and women stand arrayed against cach other. According to nearly every man who has written me, he and his fellows are angry, disgusted and bored with the girl whose charms are artificial. Not a trick or wile of her escapes criti- cism. Her complexion, her lips, her hair, her eyelashes and eyebrows, her frocks, down to the last and latest trill, are excoriated to the taste of the severest moralist, And the modest, naturally pretty girl is hymned and haloed, On the other hand, the young women appear convinced, even against will, that the way to a young man's heart ts through the make-up box. cause of cosmetics is frankly championed by a few feminine corre- its, but to the majority the practice is deplorable and men are for its prevalence.

Dear Madam: Why te it that the quiet girl is lacking of beaux? I am a very quiet girl, disposition, but I have friend. It acems that ones that the young men nowa- days take to; also the ones that not paint nor powder, not have to, nor do I believe in e@polling nature's gifts with these deadly cosmetics, I also am @ girl that is not afraid of house- work, in fact I enjoy doing it. Some girls of to-day absolutely refuse to even wash dishes. This I think is laziness on their part, But I see and know young girls getting married who do not know the least thing about washing, cleaning or cooking; but these are the ones who it seems get husbands. It is really discourag- ing. I have often had‘an inclina- tion to paint and powder and to be loud and boisterous, but on second thought I have deter- mined rather to be an old maid than to do any of these things, Will readers please tell me why it Is that the good, quiet girl, who is not afraid of housework and who ip anxious to make a h happy for an appreci: is left at home to brood? Her painted and powdered sisters can have beaux galore. DISCOURAGED, WINS HER HUSBAND BY DOLL. ING UP, Dear Madam: I am very much interested in your articles on New York's naturally pretty girls and wish to state my experience, Al- and have a good, faithful wife. I have washed, troned, scrubbed, cook: sowed, and In fact done eve thing a weman could do to make a man happy, while my busband spent his evenings in cabarot shows buying drinks for the sing- ers. He never even bought me a hat. I never used makeup until I finally grew tired of his ungrate- aud $0 work ior a es mer pase Red dseecpmone ted wherelam still employed and where I meet lots of men who all admire them: “Why do you run around with so m dolled-up wom when you hi such a pure, ‘owes wife at home?" And they all seem to give me the same anewer: “Well, you wouldn't care to eat the same thing day after day, would you? Then, how can yuu expect me to stick to the same woman?” There are 99 per cent, of the men to-day exactly the same way, and if they don’t want made-up, flashily-dressed girls it is about time they were turning over a new leaf and trying to be on the level. E. é. ADMITS HE PREFERS THE GIRL WHO MAKES UP. Dear Madam: Why do girls paint and make up? Are they i Att ‘8 faul that women paint. Why? Because men have made the pretty girl want to become more attractive, Through the stage an idea came to her. Paint! Powder! Wear flashy clothes! I'm a young, single man, and I would rather go with the average “artificial” girl than with any “modest, homelike” girl. The man who Js waiting for the latter has some walt before him, belleve m because there are #0 few girl of this sort that you could put them all in @ two by twice parlor and still have a little room left. girls who claim the distinction of being “modest” and “homeloving” are so homely that it's their last chance for a man.
