wishes, Marie laid a restrain
ing hand on Mr.. Louie's arm
as he was a bout to COM
mander a taxi. The bus, she
pointed out. would mean
money saved for the salon.
Mr.. Louie agreed in an &C.
stasy of JOY at her thrift. At
the doorway of her lodging
house he kissed her goodnight
as if he had other things on
his mind.
In the excitement of show
ing her ring and announcing
the new salon to her fellow
workers, Marie forgot her
longings for a less business
like form of love. Yet she
could not help sensing GER
tain pity in their congratula-
tions. 1t was Mr.. Harry who
cornered her in an unoccupied
booth after hours.

ooh, Mr.. Louie" she stam-
mered and waite d for the
protestations of love she had
imagined so often.

my own" he said and though
the words weren't what she
expected. there was ardor in
his tones. "It will he very ex-

Mr.. Louie himself-with the
assistance of his wife,"
Maybe we had better not

would object.
"You are right. You will
make the perfect wife. little
Marie" he exulted. practical,
sensible, devoted heart and
soul TO the business"
ROMANCE STIFLED
With a flourish, he pro-
duced two rings, one with a
small diamond and the other
a gold band. AS he slipped the
engagement ring on Marie's
finger. he explained that it
had belonged to his mother.

her apron decisively.

She cut short his voluble
protestations by stripping his
ring from her finger and cast
ing it off among the wrappers
and hairpins.

At the doorway her dignity
crumpled. Something about
Mr.. Louie's abject amazement
Infatuated her into a burst of
temperament that outdid Mr..
Louie at his best.

MR.. LOUIS was an artist, a
A'A true artist OF the perma-
nent wave. He told his Gus
toners so and they believed
him. His fingers, deftly wind
ing the spiral or the croqui-
mole. gave each strand of hair
the caress of genius.
His eyes were rapt. his
smile ecstatic. He triumphed
in each silky curl he entwined
from the permanent machine.
His voluble enthusiasm for his
work lifted each customer and
her coiffeur into the realm of
art.
His fellow workers said he
was also a very shrewd bust
ness man. They said he loved
his bank account and his am
bition for a shop of his own
even more than he loved his
art" They said it was the
tips that made him so glad to
work overtime.
Marie refused te listen 10
their jealous chatter. Marie
was in love with Mr.. Louie.
Somehow, his absorption in
his work. his ardor for the
perfectly timed and perfectly
executed wave his dream of a
beauty salon of his own ap-
pealed more to her than the
idle teasing and f1irtatious adj
vances of Mr.. Harry, Mr..
Adolph and Mr.. Frank.
TRICK OF NATURE
But Marie was only a
shampoo girl. occasionally
permitted TO fingerwave un-
important customers on a
rushed Saturday. She couldn't
intrigue his attention-as the
other girls sometimes did-by
fiattering him into giving her
his special permanent. Alas,
her hair was naturally curly.
Sometimes she caught him
gazing at her head. His eyes
absorbed, yes. but somehow
appraising. almost defensive.
She felt he resented the skill
with which Nature had given
her a natural wave.
To make up for II, she
jumped to serve him. She
anticipated his need for the
lotion, the wrappers and the
hairpins. As a reward. he per-
mitted her to stay overtime
and assist him when he had
an evening customer.
But he didn't take advan-
tage of the solitude TO make
love to her. He didn't run
his hand through her curls as
that fresh Mr. Harry would
have done. At times he
studied her hair thoughtfully,
stroking his brief mustache.
Then he would say good
night abruptly as if he were
not altogether pleased with
her. At last. after a siege
with customer almost as
tempermental as Mr.. Louie
himself. the miracle happened.
"You will have dinner with
me tonight, Marie" he an
nounced.
DONE LIKE AN ARTIST
Like a true artist. he made
il an occasion. BY taxi. they
went to a select little French
restaurant. The dinner was
perfection. The potage was
as piquant and refreshing as
properly given shampoo.
The veal outlet was Drowned
to shade truly delicate. The
salad curled as crisply as one
of Mr.. Louie's fingerwaves.
Marie was too happy TO do
more than nibble. Mr.. Louie
ate heartily and in silence.
At last he wiped his mustache
momentously.
81 want you to marry me,
Marie" he decreed.
