An Impossible Stipulation “TO remain beautiful,” declares a noted lecturer on domestic science, “one need only eat an onion, half a pound of spinach or cabbage, half a grated turnip and a handful of cranberries each day.” Can it be possi- ble that the lecturer expects anyone who is already beautiful to adhere to such a diet day in and day out? If so, the lecturer's knowledge of human nature is so small as to discredit all statements emanating from that source. Is there anybody, already beautiful, who would consent to eat an onion every day? There is not. Beau- tiful people don’t eat onions unless they can be practically certain that everyone with whom they are to come in contact during the next few hours has also eaten onions. The onion-spin- ach-turnip-cranberry recipe may be a good thing for plain persons who wish to become beautiful; but if beautiful persons can’t retain their beauty un- less they devour an onion every day— farewell, beauty! “ HY do you think he'll feel at home in the trenches?” “He's a suburbanii afe s received so much correspondence ng musical settings for its prize “4 Marching Song for America” that it has been compelled to make these regulations for the use of the copy: righted words.
