Lady

k(Y HAVE saw lot OF Things IN
the papers that thought was
kind OF dippy," said the Mani
cure Lady. but ! think the foolish
est hing that ever seen was a
statement made by some lady in a
Paper the other day"
Il suppose II was about voting"
said ths Head Barber.
No. George. II wasn't about vot-
ing Honest to goodness, II you
keep on talking about us women
~e..ns will begin 20 :h!nk thu: you
men 10 carefully planning to trim US
IN 1919. No. this pieoe that l read
WAS Aboat beauty. the thing even
tekrer TO a wornan's heart than vot-
ing or her husbands salary, The
woman that wrote the piece said that
II efrl was to think beautiful
Thoughts al the time. abe would get
TO be beautiful herself, Can you

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 swal-
low4ns Joan of Are replied tho
Manicure Lady. but you have got to
show me- George My sister Mayms
has 4 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 swellest moles on her
eheeks that you ever seen, George,
and I 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 a certain amount of Natures
remedies. such as lip rouge and
powder.
Now Mayme is a girl that is all
the time thinking beautiful thoughts
] suppose it Is because she is IKE
WlIfred She likes poetry and can
read a ward OF It while / am reading
a ad about Mondays bargains Any
how. most of her thoughts is beauu-
full. but Notwithstanding. she has
one OF ne shiniest noses that you
ever see. 1t looks Ike high noon
after she has been sitting In the
theater ten minutes. and you have
got 20 show me, George. II beautiful
thoughts are III so defective In a
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 a shave. so l
can't see lot OF difference. The only
thing that l don't like TO see tho
Missus dc is 10 put red stun on her
lips. she had lady friend once
that was all the time touching up
her mouth with carmine, or whatever
che called IT. and l told the wife the
nrst time l seen some of II on her
lips that wanted her Just as she
was. not as one of them there artists
might paint her"
IT'S 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
swen chance around this ahop 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
Their. Amt many beautiful thoughts
in this game except the thought that
II is nearly time to go home, What
would you do, George. 81 you had to
think beautiful thoughts all day
ions7"
That would be easy for me-" re-
cued the Head Barber. 81 would just
k.ep thinking OF you
