3 Lillian Lorraine Beauty Secrets for Girls e
The UnoH Value Of a Smile
BY LILLIAN LORRAINE.

n WELL-KNOWN actress, a real
~ star went into business last
Winter. She astonished all her
friends by doing this, and she has
surprised them still more by making a
grand success of her millinery estab-
lishment, where the smartest women
come to be fitted in hats, parasols and
all the accessories of fashionable cos
tune
She is coming money. and when |
last saw her she was looking hand
somer than ever and thoroughly en-
joying her new career.
II never had any experience in bust
ness, but ! have learned several
things which the average business
woman does not know" she told me.

new sort of an audience. a most inter-

customer into buying good hat, why
it is more to me than the applause at
the end of the act.
We people on the stage are taught
a great many things which come in

much use for a stage smile but the

and not obliterate them completely
Shoppers are made up Of two kinds -
those that know more than the angels
and those who have to be encouraged to
make any decision at all With both
kinds a smile is the only weapon you
can use, Nothing turns away the
wrath Of a formidable customer like a
sweet smile. and you see what one can

with very bad teeth or man, either.
who opened their lips and laughed
Wholeheartedly The desire to please
is very greatly handicapped by bad
teeth, and | have noticed that lots of
people look sullen and disagreeable just
because they are conscious that a smile

Necessary Things
There are several things necessary
to be pleasing. either in business or in
home life In the first place. one of
the most essential things is to try and
adapt yourself to tho circumstances
i'm which you are placed, or to the de-
mands made upon YOU by other people.
The demand may come from an irri-

she intends to keep it there, do not
promise restful home to the man who
seeks to become her SON in-law.
There is nothing. Richard can do to
stop a garrulity like this. If it be the
garrulity of habit. or the garrulity Of
diplomacy there is nothing he can do
to check it.
All that he can do is to tell the girl
he loves her with his eyes; with a
hand clasp when he arrives and when
he departs.
If he can't let her know with his
eyes that he. loves her though her
mothers words be falling and dripping
around them in a steady persistent
downpour, he is poor excuse for
lover.
Let her mother talk on Just so long
as the girl is permitted to be in the
room no flow of language, no matter
how incessant nor in what tongue. can
prevent Richard from giving his sweet
heart the message her heart longs for
He should regard this little obstacle
to his happiness, not as a handicap but
as an incentive If the mother has
blocked one path, a lovers ingenuity
should help him 20 find others. The
harder it is made for him to win the
girl, the harder he will fight to win If
he is the kind of a man worth having
If Richard gives up because of the
little Inconvenience caused by this
woman's garruIity he will never win,
and doesn't deserve to win. The Fates
are never kind to the timid and easily
discouraged
1t is the fighter who succeeds, and
the fight loses none Of it's dignity IL
directed to outwit and defeat the
| tongue of a woman.
Richard will win if he deserves to
win 1t depends upon himself IL he ia
the kind of a man wise woman would
be glad to have for a son-in-law.
II he is not, then the girl owes nerci-
full providence gratitude that she Is in
the care of a mother who seeks to
guard her, though her weapon of de-
Tense be only her tongue.

As a customer had entered the shop

The customer was dumpy little

Here's the easiest way that's ever been
discovered to wash clothes either in sum-
mer or winter.
For the white things: Wet the clothes,
soap we'll with Fels-Naptha, roll and let
soak for thirty minutes in cool or lukewarm
water Unroll, rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry.
That's all; no boiling, no hard rub
bing, no hot water.
This simple Fels-Naptha way Of wash
ing makes your clothes sweeter, whittier,
cleaner than you can get them any other
way.
And the clothes last longer because
they are not weakened by boiling, nor
worn by hard rubbing.
Worth trying1
it is for the woman who values her
clothes, her time and herself
For washing colored clothes and other
things, see plain directions on the red and
green wrapper.
