Daisy leaned back in the chair and sur
veyed herself comfortably in the mirror. Not
bad, not bad! She studied Edna's reflection
as large sheet was being tucked around her.
Edna hair was nondescript and wispy, when
it could have been beautifully tinted and
waved with all the facilities she had at her
disposal. She wore no makeup and her face
was shiny. So this was Edna!
Daisy admitted that Edna's features were
rather fine. Her eyes, now, were lovely, but
what look in them! As though her best
friend had died. That girl ought to get wise
to herself. Being gloomy like that didn't
keep man interested.
Well, Daisy thought, it's not my funeral.
Her loss is my gain. She yawned and trans
ferred her gloves and pocketbook from her
lap to the marble table top in front of her.
Edna ran her hand through Daisy's hair
and asked: "How about an oil shampoo? Your
hairs terrible dry"
"Nawr said Daisy. II only got half hour.
Can't even let you set it. You better gimme
MARCEL
Edna glanced at her for the first time.
Gotta date, dearie1" For moment feeble
smile hovered about the woman's pale lips.
Daisy laughed. "You said it, With some
swell fellow, too So make me look real nice,
willya2"
Edna dropped again. "You young girls,
always on the 60, always running around"
she murmured as she lit the spirit flame under
tine curing iron. She let the iron get hot,
tested it on piece of paper and applied her
efforts to the first strand of hair.
Bet you run around some yourself, Daisy
said, shyly. This was going to be good.
Edna shook her head sadly. mot much!

Parlor? She works until ten or eleven, every
night And besides, she don't know me from
a hole in the wall. might as we'll have good
time while I've got the chance" Daisy burst
into another snatch OF song, waved her hand
and slammed the door behind her.
When she got down to the street. she looked
at the clock in the drugstore window and
frowned 1t was more than half hour earlier
than she had thought. But frowning didn't
90 with Daisy's mood Soon she was smiling
again. An idea had struck her!
Oh, she certainly had the grandest sense of
humor! What she would do now would be
the biggest scream of all. She couldn't wait
to hear what Will would say when she told
him. This was going to be good. Clasping her
bag firmly, she made her way to Madame
Turville's Beauty Parlor.
"A wave?" said Madame Turville, all
smiles. Sure, we can fix you up right away.
III give you good operator. Mabel! Mabel
A wave!'
Daisy shook her head mot Mabel. You've
got an Edna working here, amt you? Well,

1t was all one to Madame Tuville. Edna,

Edna came out Daisy looked at her
covertly and smiled. No wonder Will was
tired of her. No wonder!
Edna led the way into booth at the end
of long passage, and helped Daisy off with
her jacket and hat. The booth contained
swivel chair such as hairdressers use, hat
rack, and washstand with marble top that
served as table when the basin was not in use.
Over it hung a large mirror.

believe me, that's some expense. No, don't
run around"
If Will could only hear this! Daisy decided
to probe further: Jaw, that's too bad. But
don't it take load of work off your shoulders
to have someone homer"
For moment there was flash in Edna's
eyes, but it died and tears replaced it, rolling
slowly, deliberately down her cheeks. Edna
silently divided off another section of hair
with a comb and proceeded to wave it. At
last she said: "Oh, what's the use? can't be
bellyaching to my customers Let's not talk
about it."
Daisy was all eagerness now. Lets do"
she urged. It'll do you good to talk and get
it outa your system
Edna rested the iron on the fire again to
heat it, dried her eyes and said: That's
mighty nice of you. Well then I'll tell you.
Will, that's my husband. well. Wills all right

make no difference to me. knew that sooner
or later he'd connect up with something
again -" Edna took the iron off the burner
and applied herself to another strand of hair,
curling the end, and pinning the curl with
an invisible hairpin.
"Yes?" Daisy prompted.
Edna continued: II didn't mind working
and keeping up the house. But then he began
running around with girls and me working my
head off, Her face changed suddenly. A silent
fury shone out of eyes and her voice shook:
''Oh, don't blame him too much. It's the
fault of the girls. Single man, married man,
it's all the same to them. There's one little
tramp he's been running around with the last
few weeks. She's the worst of the whole lot.
But III get her, one day. III get her and teach
her to leave my man alone!'
Tramp! thought Daisy. Well she liked
that. DO you know the eirl?" she asked.

up and she felt gay and elated. She
- had swell date ahead of her and she
was one girl who knew how to have good
time. She didn't sit home and NOPE because
times we're bad.
Bee Reilly, her roommate, came in. Daisy
r1ook no notice of her but continued to make
her toilette. She pulled an infnitesmal hat
over one eye, slipped into rather worn cream
color lapin Jacket and grabbed pair of Bees
J.. gloves. Then she transferred her belongings
into the only pocketbook she owned Shed
nave to get another bag, she told herself; the
clasp on this one was getting loose; she'd
better be careful or she'd lose what little
money she had.
Bee watched while Daisy filled her powder
case and put it into the bag, added to it her
lipstick, her change purse, her handkerchief,
her key and picture postcard.
Lets see it, Bee asked reaching for the
picture Daisy handed the card over. She
and Will had taken this picture last Saturday
in Palisade Park.
"Ain't it scream?'

That's one thing l can say for myself: |

But where does he get the money to take

Daisy laughed heartily. That's the best
joke of all: she gives it to him. She's nuts

she gives him whatever he asks for
Bee looked little shocked. But suppose

May Govern Business.
There Is an alternative possibility.
Some day the Federal Government
may decide that it knows more about
managing American businesses than
do the owners. This has happened in
countries were fascism has been intro
duced. Thus in the United States in
recent weeks many millions Of dollars
in tax receipts have been lost to the
United States Government through
the stoppage Of production in the au-
tomobile industry. The Federal Gov
ernment may not relish it. perhaps,
but unless labor and capital can get
along and both cooperate to give the
tax collector what he needs to satisfy
the bureaucrats the Government may
find it desirable to exercise rigid con-
troll over both This development would
not be democracy and is to be deplored.
but the implications Of tax system
which depends so largely on profitable
operation of American business. and
above all on uninterrupted production

to be so. But there are grounds 1or
thinking there may be no crisis. tnat
this situation may work out as SINH
lar situations have often worked OUT
before.
True. President Roosevelt, In his
message to Congress, tossed some
complaining words in the directlon
OF the Supreme Court. But they were
the mildest Of the several complaints
he has made about the Court since
it unanimously turned down MS
N. r. A. And Mr.. Roosevelt's COM
plant this week was put more into
the sound Of his voice for radio lis
teners than in his words as read IN
cold print. Mr.. Roosevelt's dissatisfac-
tiontion with the Court Is IN what
music calls "diminuendo." 1t is be-
coming less loud.
Converging Under Way.
The fact is Mr.. Roosevelt and the
Supreme Court are quietly converging
toward the same point. I say this Is
q "fact"-but, Of course. 1t Is only
a Judgment. Anyhow. whether fact
or Judgment, it is, If true. an ex-
tremely important development and
q wholesome one.
Consider first the direction in which
Mr.. Roosevelt is moving and the point
he has now reached. Mr.. Roosevelt

says We must have this; and. up to
the present, he has seemed to say
We can have 1t only through action
by the Federal Government-actio

do.
But in this weeks address to Con-
gress Mr.. Roosevelt moved little
backward from that position. His
his manner. So to speak, he is mov-
ing backward while keeping his face
turned in the old direction.
Consider Mr.. Roosevelts words last
Wednesday: THAT regulation can be
secured through parellel and simul-
taneous action by 4S States Is a proven
impossibility."
That was Mr.. Roosevelt standing
firmly in his old position. But in the
next paragraph he begins to edge
backward He says: Experience with
actualities makes it clear that Federal
laws supplementing State laws are
needed"
So, in Mr.. Roosevelt's present posi-
ton. what is needed Is Federal laws

Court Moves Forward.
Now this present position Of Mr.
Roosevelt Is the same position toward
which the Supreme Court is moving.
Last Monday the court handed down
