Daily Short Story
>By Elizabeth Armstrong;

flew moments and then turned
around. Nan felt almost guilty at
the look on her face.
That was Miss Burnham," said
Martha solemnly. who told me
young Smythe Of the Green and
Yellow Tea Shops needed q
waitress. She said Smythe de-
scribed me so exactly that it was
uncanny. Now, do you believe in
the cardS?"
THE Queen Of Hearts certainly
did the business for you," mum
bled Nan. But, Martha was far
too excited to notice anything.
When little later she was ready
to start out she turned for an
instant on the threshold. 1--WE
seen young Ed Smythe," she OBJ
served, "he's quite easy to look
at" Then she laughed. well,
you never can tell"
But, this was a little too much
for even the powers Of the Queen
Of Hearts. Anyway, Nan wasn't
worried.
Only the day before Ed had re-
ported that in a very few weeks
there would be an opening for her
in the upstairs office, q real Job,
The girl who worked there now
was leaving to be married.
Funny thing" remarked Ed
looking at Nan in such a way that
delightful shiver ian up her
spine. "but the last three girls dad
has had in that upstairs office
have all left to be married." N ow
I wonder, thought Mar to herself,
just what does he mean by that?
But, anybody with even half a
mind could answer that question
merely by seeing the look that lay
in Eds eyes as they followed Mans
slim figure walking demurely
across the room.
The Washington times., 1938-09-07

Mans eyes: it most looked a diff
ferent street.
In few minutes she reached
the office building which housed
the Acme Company and, about tc
enter, her eye was caught-in the
window of the yellow and green
tea room on the ground floor
stood a nice-looking young man
in the very act of placing a sign
on display.
The sign read: Waitress
wanted, for lunch only" Nan
glanced up and found herself look
ing straight at the young man
who promptly smiled and made a
gesture with the placard, as
though offering her the job.
Opening the tea room door, Nan
walked inside.
II shall always believe in signs
after this" said the young man.
gallantly. Want a job?"
SNAPS UP JOB
His name proved to be Ed
Smythe, and his father owned a
chain of yellow and green tea
rooms. He managed this one and.
business having improved con-
siderably, they needed extra help.
She decided to say nothing
about the new job to Martha, who
would only Scoff at it, saying no
good could come from anything
against which her cards were warn
ing.
Perhaps, a week later this Ed
Smythe who always seemed to find
a great many things to talk over
with Nan, announced that they
needed an extra waitress at their
Oak Street shop.
How about your girl friend.
Martha, you told me about?" he
asked, "the one who's waiting for
the Queen of Hearts?" Nan
laughed. Yes, Martha would be
just the girl for them, but with
things as they were there would
be no use mentioning it to her.
"She sounds off her trolley to
me" said Ed frankly, "but we need
a waitress and Martha needs a
job. The only thing keeping us
apart as far as can see is the
Queen of Hearts. How about stack.
ing the cards tonight and then
everybody will be happy?" That
sure was a swell idea.
But" demurred Nan "even if
do, how can I ever get her to &c
to the Oak Street tea room?" Ed
thought a minute.
"Ill go to Miss Burnham's
Agency, and I'll describe Martha
so accurately as the type we want
that Miss Burnham can't help but
think of her"
That night Nan knew Marths
was going to the movies with 6
friend, so waiting till she was vel
away, Nan sat down and from

up the pack of cards already
shuffled and laid in place for the
morning trpout.
"HER LUCKY CARDS"
The next morning while pre-
tending to dress Nan kept one eye
on Martha at her daily ritual.
Suddenly, she heard a little
scream, quickly followed by an
other.
Mani" gasped Martha, "An
my lucky cards, every one Of them
turned up! Never in my life has
that happened something
wonderful is going to happen!"
and, bounding out of bed, Martha
dressed like lightning in prepara-
ton for the shining day that lay
in front of her.
At 9 precisely the telephone
rang. Martha answered, talked

MARTHA'S OPTIMISTIC

Luck will turn for us both
very soon," said Martha amiably,
I'm sure of it. I've never had to
wait so long before for my good
cards"
Nan spent most of the afternoon
drying and pressing her clothes.
Martha helped, then insisted that
Nan go to bed with a hot water
bag and a dose of aspirin to ward
off the cold so clearly prophesied
by the six of clubs.
The next morning the weather
was still dull. Nan oversight and
when she woke it was quite un-
necessary to inquire the result of
Martha's dealings with the cards:
a glance told her luck was still
against them, according to her
roommate's ideas.

dress and with the Acme Company
in mind, none too hopefully, left
the house. This card business was
getting her down. too, believe it
or not.
But, as she walked slowly down
the front piazza steps, something
happened-the sun, which had
been sulking under a cloud, sud.

So many of us have the idea that.
If n little sun Is good for our health
and vitality, 4 great deal will be
even more beneficial. This is, OF
course, a mistaken notion as you
r bound to learn from painful ex-
perlence.
Now that the swimming season
is here and many of us spend all the
time we can spare at the beaches,
we must take definite precautions
against sunburn. Sunburn is q very
real burn, and, just as we would
not put Il hands against n hot
stove, neither should we expose
tender skin to the sun for more than
n few minutes at n time until we
have become accustomed to its rays.
Spread u protective cream over
the skin before exposing 1t to old
Sol for any length of time. Even
better, IL you don't mind the shine,
use olive oil. Cover your face, arms,
shoulders, back and legs. If you
stay out long enough for that to dry.
repeat the application. Summer sun
is very harmful to the skin. 1t dries
out the natural oils and leaves 1t
rough and peeling. You've seen peo-
pie who have acquired a weather.
beaten, leathery look from too much
exposure to the sun. Once the nat
ural oils are gone, the skin starts
wrinkling. Dry skin wrinkles more
readily than oily skin, even when
not exposed to the suns drying eff
fects. In summer we must take spe-
cial pains to ward off lines and
crows feet even though the appli-
cation of creams and oils Is more a
trial in summer than during the
cooler months. Then, too, we are
to have deeper squirt lines
from the glare of the sun, especially
the glare of sun on water.
The Omaha guide., 1938-08-20

And while we are on the subject
of glare, the eyes too a be sun
burned" Protect them with the
dark-colored glasses which are so
much in vogue this year. II you
don't, you will find yourself frown-
ing at your companions with tired
bIood-shot eyes at the end of the
day.
But suppose the burn gets you af-
ter all. You have one of the best
remedies right in your own home.
Vinegar Is an excellent antldote for
sunburn. Spread it on gently over
the burned surface. You can feel
its cooling effect as you apply it.
Use 1t as soon as you come out of
the sun If you fear you have been
oyer-exposed.
Continued exposure to the sun,
even though you are careful not to
get badly burned, will darken the
color of the skin. The surest and
quickest remedy for this is bleach
ing. A good bleach, used regularly
over a period of time, will have a
noticeable effect. Beaches, how
ever, are likely to have a drying
effect, so follow them up with an ap-
plication of cream. You can't avoid
oils and creams in the summer, SO
lay in a supply and be on the safe
side.
