''As for that" said the girl with the
box OF chocolates. there are simply
lots OF things about myself that I'd
like 10 change II ! had the chance.
Now, I've never liked my nose AS
mere child hated II and since I've
grown up my feeling in regard TO It
is desperately unchristian. It's such
q mean nose-it's too long and II Is
fet at the end, and there's no way OF
disgusting It, IFS a ruinous nose!"
oh mercy" said the girl who was
helping the other girl dispose Of the
candy. u wouldn't feel that way
about I'll Why, after one gets used to
1t one never notices 1t, realty Con-
stance, II you are careful to keep your
head turned so that people don't get
a profile view"
Yes, thatll help a lot" broke in the
girl In blue serge. Looking straight
at you one can't see how fat the tip
OF your nose really is, dear. And I've
seen noses 80 much worse--all over a
person facet or course, your head
is small. and that makes your nose
more prominent. But shouldn't feel
SO bad about tiff we forget our af-
fictious SO much easier"
''Well, think you have lot OF
nerve to call my nose an affiiction!'
cried the girl with the chocolate.
"You talk as though | were a side
show freak, at the very least' OF
course. 1t has its faults, but 1t isn't
such an impossible nose, I'D have you
know! suppose notice 1t more than
any one else does, and l must say.
Kitty Phipps. THAT II we're you !
wouldn't talkls
Il suppose you are insituating some
thing about my complexion" said the
girl In blue serge You've heard me
mourn over 1t often enough and say
I'd give my head II ! could change It.
I'm not claiming to be beauty and
! know there are sometimes a few
tiny spots on my face"
Tiny" cried the girl with the choc-
olates My goodnessl never saw
any one with more things the matter
with her facet If 1t isn't broken out
It is yellow-spotty or just gray
brown color"
Yes. I've noticed that" eagerly
broke in the girl in brown. How
funny Kitty's complexion acts some
timesl Did you ever notice that II
gets just the color Of her hair, So
she looks all alike? l think 1t is most
cnriousi"
The hard part is," said the girl
who was helping dispose of the candy,
that you can't get away from bad
complexion. There isn't thing you
can do to distract attention from It
because It is the most prominent
thing"
I'm certainly much obliged tc youi"
interrupted the owner of the com.
plexion that was under discussion
I'm glad to find out that you regard
me as human monstrosity! My COM
plexion may not be the finest on earth,
but ! guess I'd pass in crowd 1t
isn't necessary to be an insipid pink
and white to be good looking Art
lists have been known to rave over
the color symphony OF girl like me-
all faint golden-brown they call it!
They"
anyhow" said the girl who was
helping to dispose Of the candy, I'm
glad I'm sensible enough to realize
my weak points and not so foolish
as to think I'm a regular Venus
What I'd like to change is my figure.
| suppose you've noticed"
"Oh, indeed, we have" interrupted
the girl in brown. But / wouldn't
worry over It so much. or course. the
fashions are bound to change some
day and ! suppose when it's no long
er the style to look like lath it'll
be bad for you, but just now you're
all right. You're just the tlffngl Why,
everybody is simply trying to leok
shapeless and lank."
Il should think you would be glad.
said the girl with the chocolate, ito
know that you have absolutely no
hips nor any shape at all"
THANK you so much" tartly said
the young woman under discussion.
If you can't appreciate a figure that
is sxelte and willowy suppose that's
your misfortunel 1t takes con.
noisseur to admire some types OF
beauty-types out OF the ordinary
Since you are beefy and billowy I
suppose In self-defense you have to
run down everybody elsel Thank |
goodness, am what ami"
'Well, anyhow" sighed the girl in
brown. barring my hair and eyes, my
complexion and teeth and figure and
ears and nose. think I'm rather good |
lookingl I'm really sorry for you Nun-
fortunatesi"
