Lady

XXI HAVE saw lot Of things IN

cure lady. but l think the foolish
est hing that ever seen was a
statement made by some lady in

81 suppose it was about voting"
said tina Head Barber
No. George. II wasn't about vot-
ing Honest to goodness, II you
keep on talking about us women

man IL carefully planning to trim us
in 1919. No. this pieoe that l read
was about beauty. the thing even
Asaser to a woman's heart than vot-
ing or her husbands salary. The
woman that wrote the piece said that
II girl was to think beautiful
Thoughts all the time she would get
TO be beautiful herself Can you
beat thsfT'
There may be a good deal Of
truth In H." eaid the Head Barber.
"rNere may be a good deal Of truth
An the story about the whals swal-
lev1ns Joan OF Arc" replied tn"
Manicure Lady. but you have got to
show ma, George. My sister Mayrns
mas q old maid friend named Euphs-
liza westernorthsr 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 swellsst moles on her
cheeks that you ever seen George
and ] would like to SEQ the beauuin
thoughts that could take them On,
No. George. there is no use deny ing
the fact that us girls has got TO re
sort to certain amount OF Natures
remedies. such as lip rouge and
Pow der.
Now Wayne is gin that Is all
the time thinking beautiful thoughts
suppose It is because she Is Ike
,.t,fred She likes poetry and can
i,ad a yard of 1t while am reading
I'D about Mondays bargains. Any
...,. most of her thoughts IL beauu-
out Notwithstanding she has
of ne shiuiest noses that you
tver see 1t looks like high noon
after she has been sitting In the
tneater ten minutes, and you have
got 20 show me. George, II beautiful
thoughts are t.lf so defective in
case like that as a 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 shave. so l
can't see lot OF difference. The only
thing that / don't like to see tho
Missus do 10 TO put red stun on her
lips. She had a lady friend once
that was all the time touching UP
her mouth with carrnine, or whatever
she called Il, and l told the wife the
frst time I seen some OF II on her
lbs that wanted her Just as she
WA. not as one Of them there artists
might paint her"
TIE q 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
tnK 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 tho thought that
n 10 nearly time to go home, What
would ysu DO. George, II you had to
think beautiful thoughts all day
long,
That would be easy for me, re-
,iied the Head Barber ~ would Just
keep thinking of you"
