Hi. visits are quite frequent, we
have noticed. Their friends say. a
wedding is in prospect, but the girl
only smiles. She is so charming
and he is so very nice that everyone
decides they are an ideal couple.
She is a talented young woman and
has chosen a career rather than the
whipped cream of the social whirl
If we hint much more you will have
guessed the secret-but, never fear,
Dan Cupid is busy despite soaring
temperatures and a formal Ar
! nouncement may be Forthcoming
very Soon.
llNFY FACE is my fortune, sir"
W she said, and never did
AVA the mere man realize the
truth of her words until this mod
ern day. For face values are going
up and milady can squander 500
in beauty parlor in one revolution
of the sun. You have no concep-
ton of the money-grasping devices
that may be found within the cur
tanned booths of a beauty emporium.
Think not that this beauty is perma-
nent. My, no! One hour in the
sun and wind or one evening under
the shaded lights will reduce the
beautified one to stringy hair and
shiny nose and the operation must
be repeated.
When Lord Byron penned the i'm
mortal line, "Her eyebrows shape
is like the aerial bow" he must have
been mistaken, for they didn't pluck
eyebrows in those days and every
one knows that only the pluckcd
eyebrow is properly arched. The
arched eyebrow has come to stay
and woe to the woman who allows
these appendages of nature togo
unplucked. But the eyebrow is a
mere detail i'll this spending spree.
A permanent wave will require
sos, for Titan locks you must pay
S. and if you wish to be blonde
or brunette, but our imagination
fails for the price is exorbitant.
A Turkish bath and reduction
treatment, mud packs, hot packs, all
guaranteed to give you that roseleaf
skin longed for by all, but attained
by few. In some beauty parlors
there is a process of facial initiation,
involving All injection of paraffin
which causes Father Time to fade
into thin air with one last parting
croak.
The woman who is reclining a
whole day on the altar of beauty IS
nearing the hundred dollar mark.
She has had her hair toned" and
she has supplied herself with vari-
Gus kinds of creams for cleansing,
building, bleaching, powders for
whitening. reddening, tanning. Yes,
tanning. For there is a lovely
brown powder that doesn't show on
tanned skins. Lip stick and eye
brow mascara she must take with
her for daily use.
It's a good thing the sterner sex
never venture behind the rose-tinted
curtain where the goddess of beauty
sits enthroned. If they did, there
might be fewer marriages. Imagine
beholding the girl you courted on
a moonlit veranda the night before
sitting with an octopus clinging to
her head with more than two dozen
tentacles. Verify, she looks like 4
modern Medusa, for it is fearsome
"a ucture she wears anchored to an
a ectric device in the ceiling. But,
ah, what a revelation when these
wires are removed, for the would
be beauty has 80 ringlets that defy
salt water or inland showers, and
straight-haired Gladys who always
longed for curls is happy woman.
Strange as it may seem the bust
ness women drop their hard-earrcd
dollars without murmur and are
really the best patrons of these
beauty shops, for they realize that
good looks plus brains will bring
more dollars. Many a divorce would
be averted if the housewife would
neglect the pies and buildings ard
devote her time to 4 marcel once
in while.
These establishments Of beautify-
ing are becoming very efficient ard
they not only turn you out" in
given length of time, all dressed up
with somewhere to 60, but send you
in > taxi to the party you are in
vited to. It's dreary year that
doesn't add to the novelties and ex-
penses of looking better than your
best.
"Oh, the golden, olden glory of
the days gone BY" we sighed when
guns were booming and we were
forced to dispense with all of the
Injuries. The lovely maidens who
were being wooed and often won
by Uncle Sans warriors were patri-
otto to the hearts core and lovely
corsage bouquets and beautiful gifts
were taboo, absolutely But now,
with peace at hand, everyone has
plunged into u perfect orgy of
spending and the good old days have
returned when cavaliers may shower
their ladies fair with all the treas
ures of nature and art. A pretty
brown-eyed miss is in our midst.
leaving her home in California to
visit a multitude of friends here for
few weeks. One of Omaha's most
prominent young men capitulated
shortly after her arrival and the
happiness of the two is quite beau-
tiful to see. Although solitaires
grow in profusion in the marts of
the west there was no ring quite
lovely enough for this fiancee to ,e
found here and this symbol of faith
was purchased in New York. Flow
ers are delivered every morning to
this lucky girl; you never see her
