Race and Other Factors. Problems of the overweight child are just as serious as those of the one who is underweight. In the first place, some one who is is the normal weight for the child in question. This will de- pend on the body build, which la his by heredity: on the race to which he belongs, and on similar factors which are not controllable by dietary habits.

Harmful Plays.

[By Helen Menken.]

[Miss Menken is the brilliant American actress who scored such a sensational success in "Soventh Heaven."] ::

It is difficult to draw any straight line between moral and immoral plays. One may be perfectly moral from an artistic point of view, yet immoral from that of the consor's.

Ill-written and sensational plays: may have a deleterious effect upon a certain type of person, since they tend to lower the standard of morality, but I refuse to believoj that a work of art-no matter on what theme sincerely and honestly, written, has ever causes people to abandon themselves to a vicious life, It is the sentimental glossing of vice, not the realistic presentment

of it, which injures silly minds.

There can be no question that salacious books written with the deliberate intention of inciting the senses of the feeble-minded do have an injurious effect upon some In- dividuals; but no one would dream

"L'audace, l'audace, toujours |l'anducc," is one of the soundest muxims over laid down. Even the audacity of ugliness proves success- ful. "There are no ugly women, only some women who do not know how to look pretty," suld Antoine Berrager, the French advocate.

He was right. Dressed to per- fection, and with a, confident air that she looks well, an ugly woman. will friumph over better-looking sisters, who have not her gift of andacity.

Mothers often make the mistake of dressing their pretty girls and leaving the plain ones to fend for themselves. Would it not be better to take the ugly ducklings in hand, give them hinis on the art of dres- sing, and teach them to have con- fidence in their clothes, their looks, asid themselves? Disraeli knew his world, and he called vanity "that divine gift which makes woman charming."

In the Victorian days there was an idea that plain looks and plain | dressing meant proper conduct. But now we ask:"Why shouldn't. all the virtues go clothed in chiffon and, if a halo is denied, why may we not wear a Paris hut.?" The famous Mme'de Stael once con- fessed that she would give all beṛ brains to be beautiful.
