Love’s Reawakening The Story of a Wife’s Triumph Over Jealousy By ADELE Madge Dares Phil Veritzen's Wrath by Publicly Announcing His Son’s Engagement to Mary I was thankful for Lillian's mut- tered warning of Philip Veritzen's entrance into the hotel dining room. for it enabled me to preserve a poker face” when my employer came over to our table and paused beside it.

Indeed, I only came in here for luncheon to pass the time before two, when I expect the flawers I ordered.” There was a complacence about maddening. He reminded me sud- denly of a plump spider sitting in the center of his web and tenta- tively touching the different silvery strands to see what unwary victim had been drawn toward him. It was an absurd and fantastic com- parison. but it remained in my mind when after our luncheon was ended Lillian took Mary buck to our apartment with the promise to put her to bed, and Harry Under- wood announced his intention of sleeping straight through the after- of was smug little air him which he amended cheerily, vou gals needs me, when I shall be ‘'Arry on the spot.’ every bit as good as the historic ‘Johnny.' " “Better,” I told him, smiling, and felt an absurd little inclination to call him back and ask him to keep close to me while Mr. Veritzen re- mained in the room. But as were the last in the dining room, Mr. Seibel came up to us as soon as the Underwoods left and my un- reasonable little panic left me. “The florist's wagon is at th2 scrvice entrance.” he told me, “with your palms and flowering plants, and there are several boys here from another establishment with huge boxes of flowers."” § “Ah said Mr. Veritzen, and I rad an eerie impression that he was rubbing his hands together, al- though they really were motionless. “Those are the chaps I want to see. Where are they bringing the flewers?"” Mr. Seibel looked at me, adroitly elbowing Mr. Veritzen out of the cenversation.

GARRISON for a scant second or two after my little speech explaining to Mr. Sei- bel that the flowers ' sent by Mr. Veritzen were in honor of his son's fiancee, I thought I had succeeded in accomplishing the feat. My em- ployer's face took on a purpli tinge and something sinister, men- g, gleamed from his eyes. Then e flush gave way to his usual pal- lor, and his eyes were again calm, though faintly mocking. “You see, Mr. Seibel,” he said oolly, “Mrs. Graham, possessing a decided interiority complex, cannot imagine any other reason why flow- ers should be sent to her party.” Veritzen Scores He had scored, decidedly, and. al- regretting the little temper had been responsible for him, I was willing to call ist why, after all r | to keep the great producer ated and in a tolerant mood to- ready fit whic ing for which 1 had worked this open announcement of the between Mr. Veritzen's v's niece.

But humen nature being what it is, most people are pretty nearsighted about it. It's the surface view that gets a girl a job these days, and helps her keep it, too. At least, that is the opinion of Mrs. Dorothy Henry, beauty con- sultant of the Home-Making Center in New York city, a permanent ex- hibit sponsored by the New York Federation of Women's clubs. | According to Mrs. Henry, who is an expert on the subject of beauty and the budget, any woman may be beautiful today. All she needs is $50 a year. | But if she doesn't follow ‘the beauty secrets that Helen of Troy used as a bait when she wanted a whole oceanful of ships to anchor| along the Trojan coast, she hasn't a chance. A Chart to Beauty | Mrs. Henry has worked out an| itemized chart showing that the girl | who earns $18 a week is entitled to | spend $50 a year, or $4 a month, on her grooming. | The itemized budget for the §$18- a-week girl includes: 2 Permanents 1 Finger set a month’ Liquid shampoo ... e 2 Large jars of cleansing creams S 4 Small jars of night cream at 50 cents . Skin tonic (made at home) Powder o Rouge Lipstick Manicure set ... Total cost . S A girl who is earning $25 a week | may spend $75 a year, or $6.25 a month on the beauty problem, ac- cording to the budget, and those who | earn from $35 to $50 weekly may go | as high as $120 a year, which is $10 a month “Girls must be sold on selves before they can sell any- thing else,” Mrs. Henry says. “The kind of sale they will make depends on their appearance. The psychol- | ogy of knowing you are looking well | always gives you added confidence. | Competition is too strong to let grooming slide. Besides, it can be done so cheaply.” The girl who is earning $25 a week may buy more expensive cos- metics. She may use a foundation cream. She may have her hair set | of every them- al manicure or facial. “This added expense doesn’t mean that the girl who earns more is necessarily going to be better groom- | ed than her sister who is on the lower basis,” Mrs. Henry points out. | “But it means that she won't have | to work quite so hard to do it. She | won't have to do quite so many things for herself, that's all.” Those lucky maidens who ap-| proach the $50 a week salary mark | can go in for luxuries even more. | They may, prefer a monthly facial or monthly manicure. But the ele- ments of beauty apply to them in exactly the same manner that they do to the $18 a week girl. Mrs. Henry who is small, slender, | with silvery blonde hair and rose- colored cheeks, can easily pose as an | example of the beauty treatments | that she suggests. For one thing she believes firmly that cleanliness is next to comeli- ness. | “Hair should be shampooed | weekly." she insists. “There are | ten shampoos in one bottle of liquid. And I can't emphasize too much the | importance of using a liquid for the | hair, | “Cleansing cream for the face is better than soap. Some people com- | | plain that they dislike the oily feel- | ing that it leaves. This may be | avoided by dipping pads of cotton in an astringent and \wiping the | cleansing cream away with them. Al- | ways use an upward motion. Don't try to massage. Pat the face instead. This stimulates the blood. | “Rub very gently around the eyes | completing an inside-out circle.” | Some Make-up Hints Mrs. Henry suggests that tissues take the place of towels as they won't stretch the pores. Cream | from the| standpoint that it stays on longer, | spreads more evenly, and doesn't en- | large pores | “When you powder, pack the | powder on, starting at the nape of | your neck. Always buy the powder point. | It's you real color. After your face | is covered, wipe it off. | “Any girl shows common sense when she buys a cheaper dress and invests in personal aids to beauty. | And she's even wiser when she| makes her grooming a daily process. Once a week won't help, | “Above all, be natural. Remem. | ber that beauty aids are merely sup- | posed to make us look as we should, | but as none of us ever do." | £3 Menus | o%eDa By Mrs. Alexander George Tomato Salad Dressing for Dinner Breakfast -— Cantaloupe, ready cooked wheat cercal and milk, poached eggs on toast, cotfee.
