Madame was never Jealous OF cus-
She knew that even her suscepti-

charms which he had created The

was merely a heap Of hairdye, cos
metics and creams which he hocus-
pocused into Broadway beauty at so
much per hocus; and 1t was fair to
assume that while the result could
root whole corps Of admirers to the
curbing at Forty-second street, Mon
sieur looked upon It as only the sum
of SO many facials, SO many scalp
treatments, so much bleach-special
rates for tickets.
But Madame was never dome stically
happy after the war broke out and
SO many of their French hairdressers
went home to fight for their country.
The girls who came to replace them
were not only less skilled, but they
were pretty. with that pert, American
kind of prettiness which Madame al
ways described as raw. There were
manicure experts who could flirt one
twinkling eye at Monsieur. while they
kept the other on their tools. There

There were blonds. brunettes, Swedes,
Germans, at times Italians. But Ital-
ians were sloppy about their work
their appearance and the shop. Mon
sieur usually insisted that the women
about the place must have chic.
Madame, banished by prosperity
from the busy shop to a rose-brocade
and gilt apartment In Riverside
Drive, gazed at her reflection in
eleven pier glasses and sighed. She
had not been raised to the idle life Of

Chins and waistlines were beyond her
control No longer could the bombast

down the airshaft. When he came

By mutual consent Madame kept
away from the business as much as
possible, because when she came to

waists and dimpled cheeks and trim
ankles made her snap and snarl al
the unfortunate damsels who sur
rounded her man from early morning
to late at night It was, then with
some misgiving that Monsieur invited
her to help out during the holiday
rush. He needed to have some one in
the place whom he could trust with
the cash register. Besides, the buy
