Il am working on my ears" said the
p~rettiest member of a bridge whist club.
I'm trying TO get them ready for tho
season which begins shortly.
THE card party season is all the year
around, but the bridge Whist months
properly begin with the lighting OF the
candles in the middle Of the afternoon.
1T is then that you want to look pretty.
and IL is then that you wan to begin 70
doctor up your bad points. Mine are my
ears.
Il wish / had ears like a sea shell IA
pair Of pretty pink ears. But mine are
different. Most ears are the wrong shape.
They are the victims of circumstances.
You sleep on them until YOU make them
stand out. You tie strings under them
and behind tn IN I'm IL they are d~isfgured.
You hang heavy drops In them and make
them worse by dressing them wrong.
the bridge whist ear is the ear OF the
season. 1t can he taken anywhere with
oredit. II is best when small and perfectly
coloredh IL is beautiful. even II large.
There was once upon a time a man
who fell in low with a girl.
How did you happen to love me-? she
asked him one day.
81 fell in love with -FOUR ear said he.
MY earl exclaimed the girl. But how,
where, when"
"It was at a card party he confessed,
and l leaned forward 20 whisper to you,
and your ear captivated me. II was pink,
! it was scented, 1t glowed like a pearl and IL
was beautifully shaped
We'll, that girl told the story at a ladies'
card party. INC ever since there has been
unusual activity along ear lines.
Earrings are the style now not the
little screws, but the long Parisia an pendants.
Unless you have nice ears you cannot look
pretty in the pendant earrings.
The trouble is that they are heavy,
and unless your ears are young n beau
tiful they will drag down and be long and
saggy. That is the trouble with pendants,
even the beautiful pearl ones. They make
the ears long and old looking.
Il keep my ears young by exercising them.
/ put my fingers under the lobes every day
and lift them. 1t is good exercise for the
ears, this lifting of the lobes, and it makes
the blood circulate in them and it brings
the muscles into vivid action.
my ears always look better after l hsve
exercised them a little. and | do it
Iarly every day.
when l go % a bridge whist party I
tint my ears. Pretty ears are necessary
even when there are all women. In fact,
! think Il it pays TO be pretty. for tho women.
! for you know that the women tell the men;
and men ara Influenced by women more
! than they think.
Il believe in scouting the ears. II is 80
very delicious ~ pass "A whisper into an ear
that is sweetly fragrant.
"A mar likes 10 murmur his proposal
into an ear that is pink and scented. He
is twice as apt to propose II the ear is in
viting. Who wants to say sweet nothings
into an ear that IL big and bare and gray
and ugly?
Gray ears are the bane of a woman's
life. They lack circulation. II the ears are
gently tapped with the finger tips until
they feel warm, but not glowing. they will
stay pink the rest of the day. On the
other hand, snow white or ivory tinted ears,
or ishen ears, are disagreeable enough.
There are ears that nave "A bare Iook,
the head is bald back of them, and there
are no locks growing around them. There
they stand, sticking right out from the side
of the head and looking al uninviting as
anything you could ever imagine.
TO prevent the ears from having this
hare appearance don't do up your hair too
tightly. Pulling the hair too tightly bach

roots which will gradually cause the hair

1T Is "A very serious thing, this tugginR at
the roots of the hair constantly as one does
when one does zap ones hair too tightly.
Tying the hair with a string upon the crown
of the head is very apt to make one bald
back of the ears, for it brings a strain upon
the roots OF the hair.
Il went 10 an artist one day 70 learn how
TO dress my hair around my ears. Curl

Now. keep on curling said he, until
you have made a tiny little ringlet OF each
hair that lies around your ga rs.'
Il picked out the short hairs and began
- curl. II took some time, for il Is not a
swift job To reduce each straight hair 20

hair is longer than a couple Of inches and
there are many of them all flying in differ

Now, take down you hair said he.
Do il up more loosely and wave il album

head
Il did as directed. Then the artist placed
a picture in front Of me. 1t was that Of a
beautiful girl.
Where are the ears2' demanded he.
Il had To adm il that none was visible.
Nothing but the tinieSt pink lobts.

they waved just a rifle over my ears, though
not enough 10 conceal them, and then I

Finally I fastened 10 my ears some long

The result was magical. looked like a
picture. Instead Of being the very plain

girl Of real beauty.
