The Manicure
Lady
.tr HAVE saw a lot of things Il


the papers that l thought was
kind OF dippy," said the Mani
cure Lady. but think tho foolish
est hing that ever seen was a
statement made BY some lady in
paper the other day"
q suppose 1t was about voting
said tho Head Barber.
NO. George. it wasn't about vot-
ing. Honest to goodness. II you
keep on talking about us women
voting viii begin to think that you
men is carefully planning to trim us
In 1915. No. this piece that / read
was about beauty, the thing even
desrer to n womans heart than vot-
ing or her husbands salary. The
woman that wrote the piece said that
~ girl was TO think beautiful
thoughts all the time. shs would get
to be beautiful herself. Can you
beat that7"
There may be a good deal Of
truth in it" said the Head Barber.
There may be good deal Of truth
in the story about the whale swai-
lowing Joan of Arc replied ths
Manicure Lady. but you have got 10
nhow me- George My sister Wayne
has a old maid friend named Eupha-
liza westernorther that hasn't did
anything except to think beautiful
thoughts since she was little girl
in short dresses, and she is about as
handsome as Harry Lauder. She has
two OF the SWEETEST moles on her
cheeks that you ever seen. George
and would like to see the beautiful
thoughts that could take them on.
No George, there is no use denying
the fact that US girls has got to re-
sort to q certain amount OF Natures
remedies, such as lip rouge and
powder.
Now Mayme 10 a girl that Is all
the time thinking beautiful thoughts
I suppose 1t Is because she Is IKE
Wilfred She likes poetry and can
read a yard of II while / am reading
q ad about Mondays bargains. Any
how, most Oh mel NhVus -
full but Notwithstanding. she has
one of the shiniest noses that you
ever seen. II looks Ike high noon
after she has been sitting In the
theater ten minutes. and you have
got to show me. George, II beautiful
thoughts are half 30 defective In a
case like that as little powder pun.
Il guess most Of the girls has to
powder some" said the Head Barber.
but men has powder put on their
faces after they get a shave. so l
can't see a lot of difference. The only
thing that / don't like to see tho
Missus do is to put red stuff on her
lips. She had a lady friend onoe
that was all the time touching up
her mouth with oarmine. or whatever
she called Il, and l told the wife the
fret time seen some Of 1t on her
lips that I wanted her Just as she
was, not as one OF them there artists
might paint hsr."
IT'S a good thing anyhow that
women don't have to get beautiful or
stay beautiful by thinking beautiful
thoughts" said the Manicure Lady
Goodness knows that there Is
swell chance around this shop for
girl like me to think beautiful We
are lucky II we can keep on think
ing at all. Imagine me thinking
about something beautiful. and then
have one of them bevel headed actors
come IN here TO have his nails did
There amt many beautiful thoughts
in this game except the thought that
II ia nearly time to go home. What
would you do. George, II you had to
think beautiful thoughts all day
iopg7''
THAT would be easy for me-" re-
piled the Head Barber. I would Just
keep thinking Of you"
