THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1928. 31 THE EVENING STORY Mrs. Quill's Permanent. R. QUILL certainly could not guess, as he bade Mrs. Quill good-by in the morning, just what was going to transpire before he saw her again. Had he known—well, maybe it wouldn't have made any _difference—although he wished her lots of luck or something like that. A couple of days previously Mrs. Quill ‘heard him remark that the new stenog- rapher was certainly a classy little flap- per—she had a permanent wave and .everything. Mrs. Quill had given this remark quite a bit of thought and con- sideration, She flattered herself that she kept up to the minute in most things, and ce tainly she would allow 1o stenographer to eclipse her—although she was scared to death of getting a permanent. She had seen a screen comedy once where, after they had the victim all trussed up and connected to the infernal machine, or whatever they *call it—there had been some sort of dis- turbance outside and the operator had been lured away. The woman left be- hind had been forced to sit there until every curl had been scorched off her head. When finally she had been free to Jeap from the chair, there were all her burned frizzes hanging right before her face and eyes. Mrs. Quill, although this movie had made a lasting impression on her, had grimly put away all thought . of what the dire consequences might be, and had made an early date for this morning. If a permanent wave was Bill Quill's idea of class—all right then! ‘When she arrived there was another permanent going on, and the remarks of the other woman did not make Mrs. Quill any happier. What she heard was “I wish you'd | ‘move the mirror. I can't bear to look st myself. It frightens me so!” Evi- dently the mirror was moved, but a moment later. “Oh, I think I'm going 1o faint!” “Heavens,” thought Mrs. Quill, “I aimost wish I hadn't made this date.” * Another little scream from the other booth and the woman cried weakly, “Oh, I can just hear my hair cooking— 1t is fairly stewing! It's sizzling!” They had begun to “wrap” Mrs. Quill's hair so she couldn't get away, hut she felt if the other woman faint- ed_she would go her a close second. Yet—there are any amount of ‘women who have permanents—and she really had never heard of one dying— but maybe they didn’t let it get into the papers. She remembered, too, how very nice Mrs. Carter looked after her ‘wave—so she resolved she would take it easy as long as she could anyway. +Outside of a little pulling here and there, nothing really happened to her vet—ard wouldn't it be great mot to have to fuss with her hair any more? And she could do away with the tin curlers that Bill hated so—and no more boudoir caps at all! She could get up in the morning with her head a lovely mass of curls! Oh, she just knew Bill would be too pleased for any- thing! ‘These thoughts bore her over the period of wrapped hair being connected with the electric machine. They turned on the juice so many minutes, off so many minutes, on again and off again and then they assured her that it was over. They took the tins off, the felt protectors and everything. Be- fore she allowed herself to look in the mirror she pictured what it would be Jike. There would be a wave—a beau- tiful wave—flowing away from the| art in her hair. She looked up with a | appy smile—and died! Not entirely | —but almost! Sis Hopkins, never had | a thing on her. Forty separate and | ,individual little corkscrews were stand- ing straight up on her head. She had meant to bestow a word of appreciation on the operators. She had thought to be so happy. Ste told her- self she would not swear. But she looked up at the operaior with two tears—one from each eye—rolling sadly | and dismally down her cheeks. “Oh,” she gasped, “what a wreck you have made of me! My husband will leave me—no man could stand such a looking wife.” “Oh,” laughed the operator, “you know you have to have a water wave yet. We can't give you that for a few ggu{rs. Tomorrow morning would be “Tomorrow morning nothing!” said Mrs. Quill with finality. “Do you think I would let my husband s>e me looking like this?” They felt it would be no use to argue and booked her up for 8 in the evening. A little strategy would be necessary with Mr. Quill. She telephoned him, changing her voice. . “Mr. Quill? I am speaking for Mrs. Quill. Sh ys to tell rou tc please get your dinner downtown tonight be- cause she will not be th She has had a very minor operation, but has come through nicely and will taxi home this evening at 9 o'clock.” She hung up before he had time to say a word and she went home, knowing that he Your Teeth ARE YOUR, brushing of your teeth with BENCOLINE Tooth Paste and semi-annual visits to your dentist are the best assurance of sound, spatk- ling, white teeth and healthy gums.

Mr. Quill put in a very bad day. Heavens! The idea of her having an operation and never saying a word about it. Could anything be braver than that? Just imagine, suffering right along in silence and never saying a word about it! Mrs. Quill had really put in a worse day. Every few minutes she would look in the mirror again, wring her hands and moan, “Oh, they can never make this look like anything! Oh, why did I do it? Bill will leave me!” > So when the time came for her ap- ointment she was really almost done or. She let them water-wave her, but refused to look. They put her hat on S — Y - T PRl S gnd called her a taxi and she went ome. Bill rushed down the steps and help- ed her tenderly out. “Why did you do it?” he cried. “I did it for you,” she sobed and in- side the house she flung herself in his arms. He put her on ihe couch and gently removed her hat. She waited for the look of horrow which must dawn on his face—but it didn’t dawn. Maybe it wasn't so bad? She reached for her compact and prayed for cour- age while she looked. It was great! “How do you like it?” she asked, giving him a vamp look out of the corner of her eye. “Like what?” he asked. — NN R oy minor operaticn,” she Jaughed,|FQRMER MAYOR SCHMITZ DIES IN SAN FRANCISCO Bill Quill made a quick mental ad- Jjustment ‘tmh evident relief.
