The Manicure
Lady

the papers thhl thoueht WhS
kind of dippy," said the Mani
cure Lady. but I think tho foolish
est hing that I ever seen was
statement made by some lady in
paper the other day"
Il suppose It was about voting
said tho Head Barber.
NO, George It waen't about vot-
ing. Honest TO goodness, II you
keep on talking about us women
voting / will begin to think that you
men is carefully planning to trim us
in 1913. No. this pieos that l read
was about beauty, the thing even
esarer to q womans heart than vot-
ting or her husbands salary. The
woman that wrote the piece said that
II a girl was TO think beautiful
thoughts all the tina. shs would get
TO be beautiful herself. Can you
Ass. THAR
There may be good deal OF
truth In it eaid the Head Barber.
There may be a good deal OF truth
an the etory about the whale swai-
lowing Joan OF Arc" replied tho
Manicure Lady, but you have got to
show me. George. My sister Wayne
mas a old maid friend named Eupha-
liza westernorther that hasn't did
anything except to think beautiful
thoughts since she was a 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 off.
No. George. there is no use denying
the fact that US girls has got to re-
sort to a certain amount of Natures
remedies such as lip rouge and
powder.
Now Wayne is a girl that is all
the time thinking beautiful thoughts
suppose IL is because she Is like
Wilfred. She likes poetry and can
read A yard of II while am reading
a ad about Mondays bargains Any
how. most OF her thoughts Is beauu-
full. but Notwithstanding, she has
one of the shinlest noses that you
ever seen. 1t looks like 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 so defective in n
case like that as little powder pun"
'I guess most OF tho girls has to
powder some" said the Head Barber.
but men has powder put on their
faces sitter they get n shave. so
can't see a lot of difference. The only
thing that l don't like TO see the
Missus do Is to put red stun on her
lips. She had lady friend once
that was all the tina touching up
her mouth with oarmine, or whatever
she called II, and I told the wife tho
FIRST time 1 seen some OF 1t on her
lips that wanted her jsst as she
was, not as one of them there artists
might paint her"
TITS 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
IL ia nearly time TO go home. What
would you do. George, II you had to
think beautiful thoughts all day
iengT'
THAT would be easy fer me-" re-
Piled the Head Barber. IL would just
keep thinking OF you
