land ingratiating hostesses who rus- tie past in silken pajama-gowns; of pungent aromas and subtle aromas. It's all been too lady-like for the likes of me, and too foreign.
 But the other day Elizabeth Arden, one of the more successful high priestess of this fabulously rich in- dustry, took me in hand, assuring me that it would be after hours; {; that ''the worst would be over for the day" and that I would not en- counter any women running about in face cream and kimonos.
 I have known, of course, for some | time that whether the times be good, bad or indifferent, the beauty Industry goes on running up its millions. Miss Arden reaps in something like $700,000 a year, ac- cording to reports. Helena Rubin stein and others also can reveal vast incomes even in years of de- pression.
 And so am now able to reveal that Miss Arden started out in life as Miss Graham. She was, to be exact. Florence Nightingale Graham as she was born in Canada. Her features indicate a mixture of Scotch land British. When she came to America to find work, she carried with her, a copy of had already determined not to use the family name fin trade." so she took the name of Arden
 But before she, established her own business, she got a job with a big chemical concern and thus got her first experience in mixing things" The chances are she might still have been in Canada, but for the fact that her family wanted her to marry a man who didn't happen to interest her. She left without telling her family where she was going.
 Ninteen years have elapsed since she opened small place lon the avenoo." She married New Yorker, Thomas J. Lewis and auto matically became an American citi- zen.
 one of the most spectacular in dents in her business career was her insistence upon a brilliant red door, as part of the modernistic scheme of her present building front. The architects all. but col 'lapsed at the idea. She made one |architect walk all over town criti- |cizing other doorways, and finally he gave in. She got her doorway.
 She spends as much time as pos sible on farm in Maine. which she calls the Maine Chance. She keeps Ian English butler who designed a uniform to match the store-a ham- ing red tie and a slick white coat. Her estate is near the water and she keeps both aquaplanes and motorboats at hand. When she first ltook over the old farm, she kept 6t men at work until she arranged the grounds and house to suit her tastes It is now, two years later. one oi the Maine showplaces. She findi the attention 1t gets somewhat em
 barrassing, since long lines of motol cars are routed past the grounds.
 After hearing which, I felt a bi
 more at home in a beauty salon.

In early days of mans history, rivers must have kept people from moving freely from place to place. When a river was shallow, a man could wade through it; but when it was deep and wide. only expert swimmers could cross without help of some kind.
