As Month after Month passed by
and the number of Victims increased
and Rumor had 1t that Elsie Janis,

had succumbed the situation began to
look serious. Ii seemed that q good

Signs of Wobbllng.
Mr.. Wambo began to notice that the
Missus, instead of saying that any
Woman beyond 80 who got shingled
was Hussy. began to stall and ask
Questions. She wanted to know of
him If he thought 1t was Dignlfed of
Woman who had Daughter in
Smith College to trim herself up like
a Seubrette and try to step out when
she should have no ambition except to
create Home Atmosphere for her
Husband and Children. Mr.. Wambo
was twice foxy and said he thought
that the Modern Woman had a Right
to do Anything which would not be
stopped by the Police He had read
the Signs and seen the Handwriting
on the Wall. He knew that Friend
Wife was getting ready to Fall and,
when the Time came, she wanted to
be pushed and make out that she had
been talked into 1t.
She showed him In the paper where
Mrs. Pillsbury of Rockfill, Pa, had
been Bodied at the age of eighty-two
and said 1t made her look and feel
Forty Years Younger and she wanted
to know If he didn't think 1t was ride
ulous but he said that Ii Mrs Pills
bury was satisfied, he thought 1t was
Great
Then there came Day when she
pulled False Giggle and said that
Lib and Cert were both after her to
go to Place In the Union Central
Building where there was a man who
had lea med 1t In New York and who
could advise one rs to which Style
would be most becoming. She had no
Intention of going but 1t was a Fact
that great many Women ever SO
much older than She had been done
over and you'd be surprised what
Change 1t made. Mr.. Wambo, a Dip
lomat of the First Water. said that
no matter what she did to the Hir-
suite Crop she would always look like
a Million Dollars to him and II she
wanted to make the Supreme Venture
to 60 ahead and he hoped thnt her
Conscience would be her Guide.
No Ether Used.
Weeks before the big Event every
one but Mrs. Wamba knew that she
was slipping. She kept on protesting
that the Whole Thing was silly but
the Fact that she couldn't talk about
anything else proved that she was
Marked Woman.
Finally she hung the whole Respon-
sibility on to Wambo. She said that IL
he insisted on it, she would go ahead
and have 1t done.
Then came the tense Weeks during
which she was trying to decide wheth-
err to have a Boyish Bob or Single
or Terrace Effect or the Flsh-Ho
Dingle- bangles or some Scallops.
On the Day when she went to the
Union Central Building the Sun stood
still and Traffic was suspended. She
refused to take any Anesthetics and
went through the Ordeal absolutely
alone except for Lib and Cert Ella
and Jess. After Ii was over she didn't
know whether to 60 and sit In Pea
cock Alley or hurry Home and hide In
closet.
Just after she took the Fatal Step
a Convention Of Hair-Dressers In At
iantic City decreed against the Bob,
but 1t was False Alarm. Mrs. Wam-

and will tell you what a Relief 1t la
not to be compelled to hang your head

Husband tells her she Is.
