Merely Reflect Real Life.

WAVA WHITE, burleSque star at the
w Strand Theater this week, says the
average stage vamp is usually quite
harmless and domesticated sort OF
creature in private life, just as the VII
lain of melodrama is nearly always a
real good and rather harmless chap OH
stage. ITO my mind" she adds, the
most dangerous vamps are found in real
life and they are not confined to any
one class. Stenographers, chorus girls,
telephone operators and society debu-
tantes are born vamps. The younger
they are the more deadly their work.
1T is mistaken idea that a vamp
to be successful must be at least 80 and
very sophisticated. If you doubt it, just
watch some little bobbed- haired young
flapper get into action"

sures, where they were co%ncentrat-

New studies, says DR.. Emmons,
show that these deposits occur in
places where rocks were forced UP
through the carth's crust along
deep cracks. Some of these cracks
can be traced hundreds Of miles.
The report says that lead and
other ores occur in definite success

real beauty II. She was as golden
blond as a buttercup, but she wore
her shining AIR long, and twisted it
into a hard knot at the back Of her
little head.
She never had used face cream or
face powder. Sometimes if her
straight, sudden little nose was
shiny, she would rub it with a tiny
but Of talcum powder-but that was
all. She never had polished her
nails o. tinted them a faint coral
pink to make them look like little
jewels. She had one pair Of silk
stocks at a time, wore them only
to church on Sunday mornings. All
the rest Of the week she was per-
fectly contented with cotton ones.
No man ever yet had turned his
head to take q second look at Chat
ty as she passed him by. For she
was as small and demure-,ooking as
a little Jenny Wren among all the
stockinged, short skirted, painted
beauties that fiji the streets :.
she did not hit the eye.
But she had a dainty beauty that
was all her own. Her long, straight
hair was always soft and shining
with sheer cleanliness. And many
a girl would have given up all her
next years lipstick and f. powder
for Chatty'S smooth, coral colored
lips and the faint rink in her Satiny
cheeks.
Her great beauty was her eyes.
They were brilliant, g~ray-green
ones. were always wide open, except
when Chatty was asleep at night,
and they saw everything. Every
thing They never missed a
thing that happened anywhere near
Chatty.
I'm not so bad" she said to her
self, when she had bathed and was
slowly dressing before the old-fash-
Toned bureau in the bedroom. I'm
just as good looking as lots Of girls
who have plenty of men running
after them. The only trouble with
me is that I never have a chance
to meet any EN-, myself"
And then and there, standing in
front of the long mirror in the old
dresser, the Big Idea came to her
She would so out into the
front room and ask Mrs. Van Mugs
if MI. Van Nuys could give her any
kind of a job in hiS big offices
downtown. Mrs. Van Mugs would
surely help her if she could. She
was such a friend of Chatty's moth
er-and to help Chatty to get a job
would be helping rIrs. Chatterton.
But when Chatty came out into
the front Of the flat once more,
Mrs. Van Nuys had gone. and her
mother was ping the hem out of
the blue taffeta dress.
She says this skirt IS too long"
Mrs. Chatterton explained. I'll
have to shorten it, and then per-
haps you'll take it over . her,
Chatty. She wants it for early
church tomorrow"
"Tickled to death to do it. an
Swered Chatty. MY coat will be
dry by the time you've put that hem
inland I'll stop in at Mrs. May
berry's on my way home and COL
lect those IL moleons she owes
me-"
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-07-28

Il won't say a word to mother
about asking her to get me a posi-
ton until after I've done it," she
decided. I'll surprise her with the
good news when I get Xxx"
Surely there would be some kind
of odd job that MI. Van NuyS could
give her in the offices Of his bond
house down on Kinney Street-in
those offices where fully a dozen
young men worked. Single men
Good looking young men who
we're neither married nor engaged,
and who might possibly ask a girl
to have lunch with them, sometimes.
or date her up for the movies or Tor
dancing.
Funny, l never thought about
Mr.. Van Mugs office before"
thought Chatty, drying her coat
before the kitchen stove. She smiled
to herself, and her heart was sud-
denly light.
1t was after six when Chatty
reached the Van Mugs big lemon
yellow Colonial house on Wuthering
hill.
A neat white-aproned maid sent
her upstairs, where Mrs. Van Mugs
was having a cup of hot tea before
the fire in her bedroom.
i got my feet wet, running
around from store to store this aft
ernoon," she said. And I'm not
young like you. I have rheumatic
pains if I get cold Or wet"
But she did not look old. She
looked fifteen years younger than
Chatty'S mother, who was just her
age. Her plump face was pink from
a beauty treatment" and her light
hair had been touched up" until
it was as bright and smooth as
beaten gold.
If you'll give me my purse from
the desk I'll send your mother the
money I owe her. I imagine she'll
be glad to get it," she went on,
pouring herself another cup Of tea
from the silver pot on the table
beside her.
i didn't come for the money,
though" the girl answered. Il came
to ask you to do me the biggest
kind of a favor. I've lost my Job,
and I wonder if you'll ask Mr.. Van
Mugs to give me some kind Of work
in his office
What kind of work do you want
to do, Catherine?" Mrs. Van Nuys
asked. Her own name was Cath
crime, although she was called
Kate" and there had been some
tax Of naming Chatty after her
when she was a baby. So Mrs. Van
Mugs had always called her Cath
crime"
ANY kind Of work. said Chatty,
her eyes shining with eagerness in
the freight. I'm not trained to
take dictation or do typewriting or
anything like that. But I know /
could answer telephoneS-or make
myself generally useful. I'll do
NYTHING-ANYTHING!"
We'll, l don't know whether he
can hire you if you aren't trained
along some line or other" Mrs. Van
Mugs replied, "but-Il ask him. I
think Ill be able to see that you

for travel, will shorten the distance
considerably.

FATHER TO SON

There comes a time when father
is compelled to say to his son:
"You know more about some sub
jects than I do. I can no longer
answer all your questions. You must
begin to rely on the dictionary, the
encyclopedia and your own wits.
Please don't make a monkey out of
ME again."
1t is the privilege of youth to be
critical. Any healthy young man is
expected to resist when he is told,
''This will be good for you"
But after man passes into his
thirties, he ought to quiet down, and
adjust himself to conditions. In
stead of trying to reform the world
he should adjust himself to it, and
make himself as comfortable as pos
sible.
After thirty mans foremost duty
is to take care of himself and his
family, if he has any. Criticism
should be directed at himself, be-
cause he has no time to waste. Re-
form of the world can wait, but per-
sonal reform after thirty is urgent.
Today I saw an advertisement of
the Provident Mutual Life Insurance
Co. 1t read:
There is an old man ahead you
ought to know.
"He has your eyes, your nose, your
walk. He talks like you, acts like
you, thinks like you. And whether
he hates you or loves you, respects
you, or despises you, depends on you.
"For you made him. He is you"
It's a good thought.-Wm. Feath-
er.
