TILL trying to delude herself
with the idea that her feeling
y was tempo airy and not genu-
w. inc love, Jean threw herself
into the whirl of Cicely's life with
renewed vigor. Cicely was delighted.
To be sure she entirely approved of
the fact that Jean loved her husband,
but she saw no reason why any
woman should be O. prude for all that.
The two girls lived in whirl OF
gaiety, going everywhere, to dances,
the theater, after-theater suppers,
and the like. They went to bed in
the wee, small hours of the morning,
and had their breakfasts in bed at
IL or whereabouts. At least the girls
did, for Jack had his own meal as
usual, sitting alone in the dining
room and reading the morning paper
between gulps of hot coffee.
Don't you feel guilty about haV-
ing Jack eat alone every morning.,
Jean asked one day as she and Cicely
had breakfast together before the
window in jeans daffodil room.
"No, I don't" Cicely returned. mot
bit. I'm trying to bring Jack
around to my way of looking at
things, and this is good discipline
for him."
A couple of days later an embar-
RAISING thing happened. Clcely, on
the spur of the moment, had decided
to have permanent wave put IN
her hair. She suggested that Jean
have one, too, but Jean declined.
"It wouldn't suit me a Bit" Jean
said quickly, and Cicely looking at
her friend critically, decided that it
wouldn't. Jean had that wonderful
ly soft, slightly waving hair that
falls of itself into deep shadows and
curves in natural lines around the
face. She had, too, that charming
WIDOWS peak on her smooth, white
forehead, while much of Cicely's radi-
ant beauty lay in the fact that her
hair curled in wild disorder around
her face.
Jean went with Cicely to the hair
dressers, and sat in the small booth
heavily curtained on each side, while
capable little French girl washed
and dried Cicely's hair. 1t was very
| interesting process to watch. for
as soon as the shampoo was over
another woman came in and with
| deft fingers began to separate the
blonde hair into strands which were
carefully wrapped around metal
rods and tied firmly with string.
Madame has thick hair" the wom-
en- said during the process. ut will

Better do it ALL" Cicely said reck-
lessly, and soon her lovely blonde
hair was compressed into forty
lozenges which stood out all around
like a porcupine's quilts.
Jean was fascinated and laughed
but when the little French girl came
back and began to fl each of these
| lozenges into tubes which were slip
ped again into aluminium containers,
Cicely looked incredibly funny, and
almost ludicrously ugly.
The actual steaming of the hair
lasted only short time and when
the tubes were removed and the hair
thoroughly washed, the result WIS
lovely.
Cicely vas entranced.
Just think" Jean, she enthused,
mo more old hair dressers, no more
marcels to worry about, isn't it
lovely?"
Jean agreed that it was, and then
the little French girl interposed with
a suave question.

check?''
Cicely's fave changed. 30, mercy"
