The Ladies
By Ken Jessamy

We went to a cocktail party last
Monday night given in honor of
Fannie Hurst, the novelist, who
wrote Back Street, Cimmarron and
Saratoga Trunk, just to mention a
few of her brain children. AS we
sat there during an interview to
the press, we couldn't help but
thinking that while money may not
be the only thing in the world worth
having, it certainly covers at least
SO per cent of the earth's good
things. What made US think of
money in connection with Miss
Hurst was the fact that before us
was woman who was we'll out of
her thirties, to give her the best of
everything, but whose figure was
so very svelte, who was elegantly
and smartly gowned, whose hair
was so we'll groomed and who
topped all this off with the air of
assurance that comes only with
money and success.
1t isn't, of course, that you have
to have money in order to possess
a good figure or wear lovely clothes,
for we know many woman whose
figure is a joy to behold and whose
homemade clothes look as if they've
just been purchased from The
Tailored Woman, but whose bank
account wouldn't cause a Rookie
Teller to raise an eyebrow, except
maybe in scorn. Money does make
all this so much easier however, so
very much easier.
Talking about a fine body, you
know by this time that it is i'm
possible to have a figure that will
attract whistles, if your only
physical exercise consists of sitting
on your derriere all day, without
giving a thought to exercise. Look
ing your best at all times should
be the aim of every woman. If
that calls for an extra hour of
preparation, then you should make
that sacrifice. Don't let any man
kid you e.. he likes to go out with
a girl who gets glances from the
wolf pack, always providing of
course, that she doesn't return
them. When you are we'll dressed
and on the arm of that hunk of
flesh you like to spend your eve
nings with, take a look at his chest
sometime and you will see that it
has expanded by at least three
inches,
