(Continued from Last Sunday
1922 Weekly
r TOLD last week of my first accidental vision of
| Jessie Reed, the show girl, who happened to
q have parlor seat directly opposite mine in
a Boston Express train. With a book of poems in
her hand and box Of chocolates at her elbow, this
exquisite vision of demure, sanity innocence riveted
my eyes during the entire five hours Of the railroad
trip to Boston.
And yet, perfectly proper, careful was her
maidenly modesty, that dared not attempt to
ntrude upon her reserve by even much as faint
smile.
My heart told me that here at last by great good
fortune, had been permitted to behold one of the
sweetest girls which it could be the good fortune of
man to meet. Some way argued to myself, there
must be for me to make the acquaintance of this
exquisite young creature who, had doubt, must
be the daughter of fashionable millionaire of
New York, Newport or Boston.
But need not have worried my silly head as to
the troublesome difficulties in maneuvering to make
the acquaintance of my angel Of the Pullman car
seat-indeed had known then what very
soon to learn would have kicked myself for pain

the five hours Of that railroad trip sitting opposite
the demure little angel.

for some Of the girls in the "As You Were" COM

HONA SUCCUNBS TO HER NEW
 LIFE

It was the first day of September, and as usual for that particular time of year, the town of Wellington was all agog for the first of it's fall dances.

 Ilona, now a more than passabie product of her mothers handiwork was as excited as any girl in town over the planning of her new frock and her conquests.
 '1'm going to wear that love of a white shimmery dress you got for me when we went to Atlanta the other day, mummy, dear" she announced, as the finishing touches to a gorgeous bead bag early one afternoon.
 ''1'm so glad of it honey, you do look your loveliest in white no mat ter how much you despise 1t and all that" retorted Mrs. Cameron, looking up approvingly at her daughter.
 "Oh we'll. we all are entitled to our little ideas, aren't we?'' portested IIona with a slight frown. "A few months ago I really wasn't glued into my new shell like am now, you know.

BAKING THE HAIR

Last week when we were discussing permanent hair waving we got as far as the mental curriers' around which strands of the hair were tied. When alll these are in place the attendant brings out an instrument that looks exactly like a monkey wrench, holds the curler with a pair of plyers and gives it a twist to pull the hair still more tightly around the metal rod. As the hair has been tied against the head none of this hurts, though it looks and sounds painful.
 A second attendant now appears carrying armloads of cardboard ''spools." the size and shape of large candles. They are made of a special steam proof cardboard. She takes small discs of steam proof cardboard, each disc slit and with a small hole in the centre and slips several over each strand of hair against the scalp. This is to protect the scalp from the heat.
 Next she takes strips of thick, white cotton flannel soaked in a borax prep aration and so saturated that they are almost crumbling apart. A strip is twisted over the hair and curler and the hollow cardboard spool is slipped over this, holding the whole thing in place. The end of the spool. which is wet, is then tied down very tightly next to the head. Being wet it closes so tightly no steam can escape. The other end has already been so closed.
 The hair is now ready for the last stage. The curious instrument that looks strangely like an octopus is low cred from the ceiling and the electric spoo1s are slipped over the cardboard ones. These are connected by wires and when they are all in place the current is turned on and the baking process begins. You probably have

F,LATIRONS ARE DEADLY
 WEAPONS, JUDGE DECIDES

Atlanta Ga, July 7-Flatirons are deadly weapons capable of producing death.
 Judge E. T. Shurley so held in Full ton Superior Court here when he told Lon Kinneybrew, negro, that he could serve five years in the Penftentiary for hitting his wife in the head with one.
 When Kinneybrew' stepped up to plead guilty to assault with intent to murder, his wife was by his side.
 ''I guess you want this man to be let off, don't you?" Judge Shurley asked the woman.
 "I don't know, Judge; he said he was going to kill me if he got out!" she replied.
 "Then I'll separate you for while You can go to the Penitentiary for a minimum of five years,'' the Court told Kinneybrew.
 The negro had expected to get off with a year and refused aid of cum
