A hostess. more or less, meant
nothing. The crap game and the

a violent scene. The bar would
be depleted.
After a while the guests would
straggle home. Pete alone no
ticed James going. He took a drink
and joined the crap game.
Jan tapped or Mippy's door.

The only person whom she did
not rule was Jan.

Jan opened the door. Mippy had
endeavored to conceal her maya
zine, but Jan recognized the lurid
cover Of a confession publication.
Poor old Mippy. Vicarious thrills
were all she had ever known.

BE PROUD
OF YOUR HEIGHT

The tall woman should try TO
look as If being tall is the incest
thing in the world" Madame Ru-
binstein continues. "She should re-
member that beautiful clothes are
at their best on person above
average height - providing her
posture is perfect"
This authority goes on to say
that the tall woman should have
a generous mouth. Rosebud lips
are unbecoming. II her mouth is
small and delicate-looking enough
to be out of proportion with the
rest of her body, she should learn
to apply hpstick to make 1t seem
larger.
Due to consciousness about
height, altogether too many tall
women affect a 'horsey walk. Z"
They should learn to stand proud
ly and practice walking gracefully
and beautifully.
