) Tealth Hints -:- Fashions -:- Woman’s Wor Girl Workers Who Win Out The Manicurist Fights Her Baittles and Makes an Admirer By JANE M'LEAN, , There are girls and girls and each girl has a different mission in the lworld, Maisie never knew just what her mission was intended to be, but 'she learned manicuring and knew how to do it very well Maigie was just the type of girl that most 'engage She was pretty, with soft |gink cheeks and small plump hands She had wide blue eyes, and blond In fact she was rather engag ing. Business men liked to have her trim their fingers into 'd*,llflnnh{r correctness They liked the Maisie’s wide blue eyes, and the shy look of questioning sweetness that she turned upon them while she worked. But Maisie was not at all the type of girl that her looks made her out to be. There was a bitter ness behind the softness in her eyes, and her sweetness and youth had not prevented her from learning that a | hair. girl is often misjudged by her looks. | One day a rather pompous look ing man came to Maisie’s table, He had looked carefully around at first and had observed all of Maisie's charms, the softness of her white throat above the collar, the dimpled turn of her wrists, Oh, yes, Maisie might make a very amusing quarter of an hour for him, and so he sat down Maisie came over to him briskly and deftly prepared the soapy water for his fingers. She remarked pleasantly on the weather, but she did not raise her eyes nor did she speak in a gushy conversational man- ner. After a few minutes the man Jeaned forward and smiling ingratiat- ingly remarked “It's rather close to luncheon time Suppose we have a little lunch to- gether somewhere, | know a nice lit- tle place not far from here” And then Maisie did look up. looked the man square in and said evenly “You're married, aren't you?” The’smile in the man’s eyes quickly faded to blank astonishment, This direct question in & hard voice from She this little bundle of softness and femininity who looked as if she did not know what it meant to speak harshly “1 can see that you are,” she said finally. “Well, if you are, why r||r|J ou ask me that question about unch?"” The man stuttered his amazement “I beg your pirdon,” he said, "you looked such a nice jolly little person.” “Thank you, but please remember that this is business not a re- ureation period. 1 don’t do this thin for fun. I do it because I must wor! at something. If you men realized how much easier you would make it for us if you would help us just a little, perhaps you might think just once in a while, That's all. I'm done now, but [ wanted you to know.” And Maisie bent over the hand she was holding and deftly polished a nail to brilliancy The man lingered a moment after he rose to go. Maisie did not see him nor the generous tip he had left on the table. She was busy putting her implements in order. “I'll remember what you said,” the man interrupted and she looked up at him questioningly. “And I'm sorry, rnlly sorry. 1 hope you will believe that” Maisie smiled a little wearily as he turned away. She hoped he would, for life to her was work, not jest.
