DECIDE FOR HERSELF.
Middle Line Between "Primplng" and
"Frumpery" Is the Right Course,
but Question Is Decidedly
a Delicate One.

"All is vanity and vexation of
spirit" the boss quoted whimsically
whenever his help fingered unduly
long behind the six-panel folding
screen that shut out the rest room
at the end of the Office.
But sometimes he felt a little more
and looked little more than whim-
steal when every nymph in the office
had contracted the habit-or shall we
call it the egotistical disease ?-of
whisking of to the rest room at every
spare moment and always emerging
with a fresh layer of rice dust or a
iauntier effect to her couture.

A little girl had been SO very

necessary to shut her up In q dark

punishment for the worst offense.
For Is minutes the door had been
locked without a sound coming from

At last the stern but anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered
into tho darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
