saIlie Learns of an Engagement

| took an hour from my work during
the week to fill my regular engage
ment at the beauty shop-my one con
cession to my former life. On the after
noon of day that had been very hard
asked Collette for a facial pack. II
always Iefreshes me, the sweet
scented cream, the hot towels, the
massage and the pungent witchhazel
followed by ice.
Everyone went to Collettes Indeed
it was more like a salon with it's buzz
of small talk. Each operator had heI
own little room but it was quite Gus
tomary for anyone recognizing voice
to scream the latest bit of gossip from
one booth to the other.
The room was unusually quiet this
afternoon and | was relaxing under a
towel weighted with steam that com.
pletely enveloped my face
Suddenly, | recognized a voice 1t
came from the next booth.
"Oh. say. Valerie, have you seen
my ringy 1t was Anne Coddington' s
voice.
you ring? What d'you mean

anyway, an announcement party? Wait

right in.'
My heart stood STILL What ring
What? Then all the courage, all the
indifference | had built around myself
in the. last few months were as naught
Could it be that Anne and Curtiss
were really engaged and that should
hear it III such place? oh, | was
grateful for that towel and for it's
kind folds which hid my face.
Silence for a while. The operators
were oh, SO quiet that they. too, might
gather in the details of "a story that
would entertain their fashionable
clientele.
Light foot steps Valerie going to
Anne. counted them as they fell.
"Ohhhh Anne! It's dream! Well
don't have to guess whose it is, the
way he's been rushing you about You
lucky girl. Landing the catch of the
season. Dog gone!"
Anne snickered.
"He is sweet" she said.
Sweet so that was all she though
of him, | was sick with the thought
and something was the matter with
my heart. What made it feel like a
stone, weighing me down, dragging
me under and leaving me hstless with
out any desire to live. couldn't faint
If | could just keep the towels on a
little longer and then, after Anne and
Valerie had gone, | would go home

Poor Ann and Her Nagging Husband
Dear Miss Flo:-My husband is be
coming so crabby that life with him
is almost unbearable. Until a year az .
he was kind and considerate. Now, he
is cross and irritable all of the time.
He is invariably disagreeable in the
morning, nagging and complaining
about everything in general. | say
nothing, hoping that by evening he
will be in better mood, but when he
comes home in the evening, he is
worse than he was in the morning. My
friends alvise me to be tactful, and
say nothing, but I'm getting tired of
it, 1t isn't fair that | should, have all
the work to do in making our home a
happy and congenial one. Please tell
me what to do. Ann
Well, Ann, you certainly have my
sympathy, if that will help any, and
the sympathy of a million other wives
can think of nothing worse than a
nagging husband. They simply can't
be pleased
/ do think the advice given you by
well meaning friends is wrong. The
more you humor nagging husband
the worse he gets. all for peace"
doctrine doesn't appeal to me. Peace
at any price would be worth achieving
if it were a human possibility, but ap
parently, it is not. Peace can never be
acquired at the price of Justice. Per

either use tact and diplomacy in handl
ing him, or be in perpetual quarrel
with him-and the latter method
would make a nagger out of any hus
band
1t is just as much the husbands
place to read the newest fashion book
SO that he can discuss intelligently
with her the latest styles, as it is her
place to read up on the subjects that
he finds most interesting.
1t is just as much his business to
deal subtly with her as it is her bust
ness to deal subtly with him.
AS yet, no one has been able to work
out a plan for dealing with nagging
husband. However, as your husband
has just developed into a nagger, there
may be some hope for him. Perhaps
ne doesn't realize that he is making
you very unhappy
BY talking it over with him perhaps
you can persuade him to try to correct
his fault finding habit.
