Don't be hard on 'em. They can't

Nothin' to it. nothin' to it," the m. p.
growls with a contemptuous glare for
the f. p. Its all the silly. vain wo-
men who pull out their eyebrows un-

idiots"
Just what I wanted you to say!
Just what 1 wanted you to say" the
f. p. says and smiles triumphantly.
''Women's vanity has been discussed
since the beginning of time. Let's talk
for a minute about mems vanity.
Men DO have their eyebrows almost
removed. I have the word of the pro
prietor of one of the best beauty
shops in Topeka that men have come
to her to have their eyebrows fixed
and that's not ALTO have their mar
and mustaches dyed, too! and to see If
they can have hair grown on their
bald heads.
Miss Anderson of the Anderson
Beauty Shop told me so, herself, so
there" and said she didn't care if
said she said so. Then she said that 1t S
common for men to have manicures,
scalp treatments and shampoos, ana
even facials, which we won't class as
vanity for anyone likes to be we'll

in that"
still say 'nothin' to it, for they're
only the Nancy kind of men A real
man won't have his eyebrows both

the Nancies too" the f. p. said eau
tiously, until someone told me about
a big. good-looking manly man who
didn't look quite natural. His
friends looked at him and wondered.
He was as well as ever, but when they
looked a little harder at him they
saw that the reason he looked mighty
queer was that nine-tenthS of each
eyebrow was missing"
It was impossible, even with such
evidence to convince the masculine
person that men in general are vain.
He continually steered the converse
ton back to women's vanity.
TITS not woTnen's vanity that makes
them spend time in beauty shops as
much as it is their desire to appear
neat and well groomed." Miss AndeE-
son said, according to the feminine
person. IF that desire is vanity then
vanity is something every one ought
to have"
Many of her patrons are business
girls who feel it necessary to keep as
trim and neat as possible. Miss Ander-

Its all right, anyway, according to
a summary of the vanity situation by
Miss Scruggs of the Marinello Beauty
shop.

they are well groomed and when they
are well groomed they unconsciously
