Beauty Breyities
by MARTHA LEAVITT

YRS NO longer case of putting your
best foot forward. The latest in
II fashion and beauty DEGREES both
feet must be firmly in the lime
light - and gaily decorative at all
times. A delightful "airing" for the
feet is in order these summer months.
The beaches sponsor little open
work sandals with low heels and plenty
of room for the toes to wiggle out glee-
fully at the warm sun. For dining and
dancing at some smart casino, slippers
with the backs cut out and toes show
ing through a charmingly intricate
open-weave design give added grace to
the newest in dance rhythms. Feet are
on parade. You must see that they
appear worthy of this newly acquired
glory.
Dancers know a thing or two about
tricks to enhance the feet. Hilda
Eckler, premiere ballerina on the
worlds largest stage - Radio City
Music Hall - realizes that her feet
are her fortune and takes a pride in
their attractiveness and care. Each
week she visits chiropodist, as do the
other members of the ballet. mot be-
cause there really is anything wrong,
but in order that nothing will be the
matter" An ounce of prevention, in
other words.
Miss Eckler, when she dances bare
foot in modernistic ballet. paints her
toes to match her costume. A bright
red dance ensemble calls for bright red
toenails. With shimmering black satin
the toenails are polished shiny jet.

Hollywood bound. uses coral pinkish

shade on her toes. She wears backless
slippers and therefore rouges her heels
in tone matching her toes.
Tamiris, whose dance school is
based on the theory that there is no
external treatment for beauty. and
that the approach to the dance is COM
plete reality, uses only light flesh
tone to cover her feet when she ap-
pears before the footlights. Feet must
be flexible with straight toes to be
beautiful" she exclaims and believes
in going barefoot whenever possible.
Genevieve Tobin has her toenails a
Chinese red to match her fingernails.
She often wears openwork shoes for
evening and she likes the effect of
bright nails showing through her sheer
stockings.
Princess Natalie Paley charmingly
decorates her feet in antelope slippers
in colors matching her evening gowns.
The shoes are cleverly cut out in the
design of little heart - just over her
toes - with the V of the heart gath
cred in at the ankles.
Bronze toenails will also be popular
at the beaches. Bronze has delightful
way of complementing a newly ac-
quired tan. Mrs. Clarkson Runyon. a
smart New Yorker who summers at
Upper St. Regis Lake, wears bronze to
match her favorite shade in nail polish,
while Mrs. Walter T. Rosen, Of Man.
haitian and Katonah, prefers the dark
reds as contrast to summer tan.
At last the time has come when that
old colloquialism, ITO put ones foot
in it," takes on bright new meaning.
Step up before the beauty footlights!

said, still sulkily, but he smiled
a little.
When she folded the money,
slipped it in her purse, ne SAID:
Don't get anything for lt?"
Mrs. Samson glanced at Mary,
putting on her hat at the mirror
over the wash basin. Darling,
you are always richly rewarded
for your noble deeds"
"Come here and kiss me. Can't
a man kiss his wife if he wants
to?"
Mary fused with her coat and
gloves. It was embarrassing.
Well, perhaps they hadn't been
married very long Still, you'd
think, in an Office.
Mrs. Samson just patted her
mussed hair and wasn't the
least bit disturbed, but Mary
didn't feel comfortable again
until they were out of the office,
and having their lunch at Mar
guards.
CHAPTER x
In the end they didn't go
house-hunting at all.
Il Just told Sammie that so
that he'd let you go. You know
how men are. Heavens, 1 have
no desire to leave the hotel. Say
I like my comfort. But I'm so
lonesome 1 could howl, and you
can't meet any girls when you're
living in a hotel like that.
my dear, I don't know a
soul in this town-except
couple of fellows I met in the
dining room-don't ever men
ton that to Sammie, what he
doesn't know won't hurt him
and so I thought I'd just take
a chance on you, and I'm GER
tainly glad we're going to get
along because I'm the lonelleSC
woman"
But Mr.. Samson.
"Sure, Sammie's wonderful
and everything. But he's got his
mother here, and-well, there's
a little family trouble and Sam
mie is so scared she's going to
find out I'm in town that he'd
keep me locked up in the clothes
closet all day if I'd stay there.
He won't take me anywhere
where she'd be liable to see us
or any of her friends. Now
where shall we go to look for
dresses? want a little SILK
dress"
So they went to three or four
of the larger stores, and Mrs.
Samson bought a hat, an eve
ming gown, and a pair Of en-
erald sandals with rhinestone
buckles.
Then she wanted to buy a
pair of pink satin mules Tor
Mary.
Come on-it's Sammie's
money-he gave it to me to
blow!"
"Oh, thanks just the same
but I really"
When Mrs. Samson saw the
way she felt about it she
didn't insist.
when you're as old as I am,
and have worked as long as I
have" she said, you'll learn
to take what you can get
when you can get it. But
have it your own way. hope
I haven't kept you too late!"
"Oh, mol" Mary lied. But
she was late, and Ma always
worried if she missed a boat.
Still, it had been such fun
and so much more to look
forward to-.
80 he kept you late!" Ma
scolded. "And just the night
I have popovers. Hurry and
get your things off. Pas in
the kitchen already waiting,
and Willie won't be home.
Oh, there's a letter for you,
on the hall table, Babe. I
think it's from Jamie Todd"

He didn't even wait for her
answer. Put on his hat and
went out.
Well, it was break at that.
Better be hiking around town
with even a snooty or tiresome
Mrs. Samson than sitting in a
steam-heated office on a perfect
spring afternoon.
But she wasn't prepared for
her so soon.
She came about ii, stood
smiling in the doorway a mo-
ment. And just as Mary was
trying to decide whether she
was somebody's new stenog-
rapher wanting to borrow a key
to the dressing room, or an
agent for magazines or artistic
photographs-though she looked
too prosperous for that-she
said:
Are you the girl who's going
to have breakfast with me, and
cheer me up?"
So she must be samson,s
wife!
She had, large, soft dark eyes,
and the hair that showed under
her smart little brown hat was a
deep FURNISHED gold. She wore
a tight fitting brown suit, deeply
cuffed with beige fox fur. She
might have been anywhere be-
tween Is and 3O-even older
and yet she might have been
younger-almost Mary's age.
She wasn't flashily dressed
and she wasn't hard looking,
her voice was low and cultured
still there was some
thing about her dl11er-
ent
Mary felt little shy and con.
fused, the way she used to 1eel
at school when she met import
ant girls. She blurted: "But l
can't go now! I can't go until
after lunch!"
Mrs. Samson laughed, Walkea
through the little gate ana
pumped herself down IN the
chair near Mary's desk.
Heavens! How you remind
me of my younger working
days!" Her soft dark eyes roved
over the small office as sne
spoke, she put out a finger ana
touched a key on the typewrit-
er "You even have the same
kind of typewriter! Why can't
you go now?"
"Why-because I haven't I'm
ished my letters, and Mr.. Sam
son said after lunch! I really
couldn't, Mrs. Samson
"All right. I can wait. You
don't mind my waiting here?
can see you haven't worked
long. You get over that later.
Listen, honey, the shipping busi-
ness is dead. This particular
shipping business is dead AND
buried. Your letters aren't OF
the least Importance to any
body, and our breakfast is to
us! Oh, know all about the
situation here. They just sent
Sammie down here to spank
him, because he was bad boy
and didn't tend to business
when there was some to tend to-.
Have a cigarette?"
What could you do? You
just had to laugh! She was so
FRANK!
Samson came in then. He
didn't look very pleased to see
her, but that didn't disturb Mrs.
Samson. She just said, her
brown eyes dancing, 1--WE just
told Miss Shannon she'd got to
come out and have breakfast
with me now"
Well, don't bother me about
It,"
"SAMMIE! Is that nice? And
I want some money"
He took out his wallet, handed
her several crisp green notes.
