gave up in despair. She applied
to work in a corset making estab-
lishment to find that six-weeks'
apprenticeship was required.
She had once taken a business
course, but no one seemed to need
stcnographers, typists, bookkeep-
ers or secretaries-not that she
was really fitted for any of those
positions. She took a bus to the
next town, twenty miles away, to
answer two notices from there.
When she arrived, one place was
already filled. and the manager
who was interviewing applicants
for the other looked her over and
said they needed some one younger.

men ARE BETTER
AS BEAUTICIANS
Blacksmith and Plumber
Reported Successful
At Primping

Philadelphia (UP)-Men are
generally more successful as beau
W operators than are women or
girls, and the hairdressing business
needs more of them, in the con-
sidered opinion of the directors of
two leading beauty schools here.
They cited the case of a black
smith who deserted his force for
curling irons and has been quite
successful; and also the instance
of former professional football
player who had become a master
plumber and then left that trade to
run beauty shop.
c. J. Ostrander, director of one
of the schools, said:
I'VE have much greater demand
for male operators than we have
for female" he said. Every high
class beauty parlor likes to have at
least one male operator. 1t adds
prestige to the parlor and good
male operator is always more pro-
ficient at hairdressing than almost
any woman can be.
"There is a physical reason for
it. To be really good hairdress-
er. one must have unusually strong
wrists. The men, consequently, are
better equipped than the women.
"All of the worlds greatest art
lists have been men. Embarrassing
really is an art in itself. A good
creative hairdresser usually is able
to produce more attractive and
individualistic couture than is
woman.
Then, too, there is something
about the psychology of the case.
The average woman.> whether she
will admit it or not, would rather
have a man working on her Golf
fure than a woman. And the big.
ger, brawnier. redder- blooded the
individual, the more popular he is
certain to be among the patrons"

Helen had suffered during those
! years-less from poverty than
from Stephens attitude towards it.
1t was long time since his last
invention had made any real
money. He was still getting
royalties from it, but they were
growing smaller and smaller, while
Helen's own tiny income had
shrunk to almost nothing.
"But wouldn't mind being
poor" she thought, looking across
the breakfast table at stephens
dark head bent over. the news
paper. "I wouldn't mind wearing
rags and eating scraps and scrub
bling floors if he only tried. But
he won't even look for job. He
| just sits all day long brooding
| about new inventions-as il any
| one wanted his ideas nowadays.
She said aloud: Steve, are you
going out today?'
! He looked up with his vague,
charming smile. ''Why should go
| out?"
She tried to answer lightly, but
an edge crept into her voice: "You
know why"
WY uedF, L uOn l.
you promised a month ago
you'd go over to the Whiting
Work."
oh The stubborn look she
had grown to know so well came
over his face. There aren't any
jobs to be had, Helen"
She drew a long breath. They
had been over this so many times.

JOBS FOR MEN

"Or new ideas, either" said
Helen.

ones. Give me time, Helen. I'll get

up the paper again.

despairingly. IF he'd only drive a

She looked back at him with a
strange expression in her eyes, a.

unwilling. helpless love-for she
still adorcd her husband. which
was why she was so disappointed
in him.

people today?"
His face changed. but he only
said: "IIeleIs my dear. don't nag.

When he got up from the table

his hat and coat. He took them
obediently, then turned toward his
study. =

manded.
