Artist, ily and friends happy,” I interjected, “but she makes them proud of her. The husband who has a wife who dons pretty clothes and who uses the Proper cosmetics is always pleased to introduce her, Her children want every one to ‘meet mother’ so that by using her key of self-adornment she opens many other doors of happiness to her life.” “And, above all, she is satisfied with herself,’ pointed out Miss McMein, “She may be happy in this room of self-adornment which she has un- locked all her life. At fifty she will take as much pride in her personal appearance as she did at twenty. Her spirtt will never fail, she will not suf- fer from ennui. Self-adornment has made many, a woman happy—eternal- ly 80." “While the woman who has found | her key to happiness through making herself beautiful, or at least attrac- tive, may seem to waste her time selecting gowns, visiting her hair dresser and experimenting with cos- metics,” I remarked, ‘‘she is so busy with these things that she seldom has time to think of her health or to visit doctors, Isn't she finding her key to happiness in a very simple, inexpen- sive way, after all, when you com- pare her to one of that neurotic type who fs constantly giving her time and money for medical service?'’ “And who never finds a grain of happiness or comfort,’ finished Miss McMein. “Oh yes, the woman who finds happiness through adorning her- self has little time for doctors. It would interfere with her beauty for her to be ill, so she usually avoids the wrong sort of food, sleeps the right number of hours and lives most hygienically. But the most important thing in self-adornment is the men- tal stimulus. “The woman who spends much time in personal adornment, who rubs in a delicate pink upon her cheeks, who makes her lips as rosy as teen's and touches up her e to make them bright, also brightens up her soul.” This from the artist who creates such interesting girls with rosy lips, with blue-black hair and Titian hair which glitters and dazzles. “IT adore cosmetics, I love color,"* continued Miss McMein, ‘‘and women never looked so pretty nor so attrac- tive in their lives as they do right now. I do not admire pivcked eye- brows or artificially curled bobbed hair, But the color—the dash of red upon the cheeks,’ the carmine upon the lips—and the way girls bring out their most important features 1s mar- vellous. “Then you think the clothes and cosmetics have a psychological effect upon the woman who finds her hap- piness through self-adornment?"’ asked, half the measurement of my calf. You should lose about one inch on the calf and I think you will find that by massaging with an upward motion every day for at least ten minutes It will reduce the leg.

That hat is her key to happiness. She declares the medicine would make her think about her ills, but a jaunty hat makes a new woman of her. “Personally, I am very fond of red gowns,” concluded Miss McMein. “I am always happy in red, and I have found my models pose well in that shade.

The Greek women adorned themselves to bring owt their grace and beauty, while the Roman women were most happy when adorned in togas, em- broidered tunics and sandals and slippens bedecked with ribbons and laces.

RANGLD stepped in Sol smoke shop and passed into the back room, after giving Sol the mystic wink, and gazed around at the assembled gentlemen of the neighborhood who were play- ing pinochle, “Where's Ed, Jarr?’ asked Mr. Rangle, noting the absence of his particular friend. “I don't know,” replied Rafferty, the builder. ‘None of us have seen him for a couple of days, My wife was asking me this morning if I had heard that his wife had left him."’ “Well, has she?” asked Rangle. “Maybe it's just for a few days, like I left my wife once,’ remarked Slavinsky, the glazier, ‘but I went away laughing.” As the rest of the gentlemen of the neighborhood paused in their pinochle to listen, Mr. Slavinsky continued; “It was when I was running down- stairs, just as my brother-in-law, what I don't like, is coming up. My wife is throwing a skillet after me, but I duck and it hits my brother-tn- jaw in the head, and he gets knocked unsensible, and I feel so sorry for him that I can't helping laughing what @ joke it is on my wife."* “Well,” remarked Mr. Rangle, on whom this matter of skillet had made considerably lesa impression than it had evidently had on Mr. Slavinaky's brother-in-law, “I don't think there's been any trouble between the Jarre. Mrs. Jarr may have simply gone away on a visit for a few days, and there's no harm tn that. “Then why don't Ed Jarr come around and tell us about It? re- marked Sol, who had just got rid of 4 customer and returned to his game. “1 don't want to know nobody's bust- ness, but he should come here and tell me all about it.

But I never say anything about these things, do 1?" All agreed that Sol was secrecy It- eelf. “Well,” remarked Mr. Rangle, “even if Mrs. Jarr has only left her husband for a few days on a visit, we won't see him. He'll be home .cok- ing after the kids."* “Yes,” sald Sol, ‘‘the only time you appreciate a wife being home is when she ain't there.’* eae ae E Housewife’s Scrapbook One housewife uses the potato masher to mix flour and lard in mak- ing pastry.
