pitiful letter from her to me signed
"Tha Uiihappieet Girl In the World."
Yesterday she told me she would write
me another just so she could sign It
"th happiest girl on earth," which
she now claims to be.

I will confide that Ruth O. Is not her
real name. But you appreciate why
she prefers to have her own withheld,
and I would not break confidence with
her after her faithful cooperation with
me in an experiment I have been want

the wisdom of the old French adage
"there are no ugly women In the

other elemental requirements of a fic

they, too, may follow Ruth'a own atory
and profit Immeasurably thereby.
Again, because ah la young, and
youth has no right to b unhappy nor
to look, it,
Trier waa appeal ao direct, straight,,
and pathetic In her letter that I was
touched deeply and resolved at one
that through no fault ct mine would
eh retain that mental and physical at
titude toward life. This 1 what sh
wrote:
L'nhappieat Girl In tha World.
"Dear Miss Donnelly: Uiave read
your many article on beauty and what
you have dona to help people, I know
a girl who wrote you and you never
aaw aucb a change in her. But I don't
expect you can' do much for me. I
am so homely. I don't believe there
la a homllar girl In tha world. I am
ao unhappy t would just Ilk to run
away and hid wher I never would sea
anybody. '
" I am an orphan and I am 20 yeare
old. I never had a beau or what you
could call one. And all tha girls I
know have good Hmea, but I never do.
I just have to alt and listen to them
talking of parties and dances and fun.
I was taken along a couple of times,
but I would have been happier If I
had stayed borne, because the fellows
did not ask ma to dance, and never
would make a date with me. I have
overheard them calling me 'string
bean 1 and ' toothpick model,' and a
lot of other names like that,
"I just feel feck of living through
remarks some of these people pass. I
fael so blue when I sea tha other girls
going out all th time. I hav a good
disposition, but being homely and thin
holds me back and makes my Ufa mis
erable. I am a failure In life. I don't
have luck getting a job, either. Th
employer just looks at me and tells me
the place Is filled. If you could help me
put on some fat and become batter
looking I would be th happiest in
stead of

ahe wore and the hat accentuated th

Homely? I made a mental appraisal:
Particularly good eye.
Pretty good teeth. In need of a little 1
attention; easily enough remedied.
Hair good color, dark brown, but
bobbed with shears nowise concerned

beauty. Htraight Ilka an Indian'a,
brushed sharply back off a high fore
head, caught with a comb that waa
without decorative Intent, and hanging
straight over the ears, with a dip down
on Ita backward course, which was
. roost unbecoming. But th long slen
der neck n'd shapely head promised
well for future operation on a coiffura
bandied expertly. '

Clothes: Therein Ilea much of tha
discouragement,, if she but knew it.
Dull, dead black taffeta dress with
wrong lines for one so thin; hat with
upturned brim carrying on It upward

Shoes -well, they could be Improved

me. "I don't know how to dress. I
always buy the wrong thing." Sh ,
confided ahe had some money sh
would gladly spend for tha right drees

any.
Summarizing: Although a casual
observer may hav doubted her possi
bilities, I saw that wonderful things
could be done for the girl. So I ex
tracted a promise, eagerly given, that
she would put herself in my hand for
five weeks, at the end of which time I
could pretty safely guarantee her a

The One Track Menu.
A f'-w month ago while traveling
rlth my huaband In tha south wa
dined with friend. Although I do not
like oyatera, I managed to consume tha
oyster aoup which wa th main part
of th meal without appearing to be
diasaUafled with th menu. Tha reat
of th crowd praised the soup highly, i
I-aat week, while w were visiting
my aunt, thee frlenda of her invited
my husband and myself to dinner. Just
before th maid announced dinner I
happened to remark that it waa a pun
ishment for me to rat oysters and I did
hop that aha had not been the martyr
that I waa when our huabanda had bean
o lavish In th praise of that oyster
aoup for which that southern restau
rant waa fomou.
My h.)ste said nothing, but tha
queer expression- on her far wa ex
plained when the maid brought in
oyster cock lid la, then oyster aoup, and
later large fried oyster with the third
course, As the woman had no sense
of humor and wor a distressed look
all through th meal, which f,?r ma eon-

It alone pried me from my seat,

my shaking knees, lightened my link
