BEAUTY'S BIDDING

Wednesday night, Just before I went
o bed, the big Idea came, like nn un
pected gift of real gold. I was lean
ug on my elbows listening to Eva
Herrlck dissertating about her favorite
old cream, und what Madame So-and-3a
had told her was the proper wuy to
rub the stuff in. Three of us, hard
workers, lodged In the upper uttlc
oom of the Fletcher's boarding house
m Beacon Hill.
It hadn't taken much ingenuity to
nuhu It a sort of paradise to return
to each evening.
We had each managed to acquire a
joiiify elmlr, and In these we were
jemully reposing prepatatory to
seeking sleep. Eva declared that
proper attention to one's looks meant
i tenlble lot to the working woman,
who got too Uttlc out-of-door exercise
to Keep the natural pink In her cheeks.
She looked at me critically for a few
moments, her hand poised In the act
of the proper upward rub under the
right eye.
"Say, Belle, how do you do It? It Is
right down mean of you to have such
wonderful color, and me here talking
so fast about acquiring it. Look at
her, Nelll"
I lunged forward until my face came
opposite the cheval glass, and looked
at mjself. We all looked hard. We all
agreed that I wus mighty lucky. And
then things began to buzz In my head.
I had worked pretty hard at the olllce
that day, nnd nothing had gone just
right, besides which I could not see
that It was getting me anywhere. Jim
Bryant, n clever young clerk, had been
shouting around all day about a chap's
getting out on his own, and not work
ing for n salary, een If he took to
fanning something the other fellow
hud abandoned. It Is strange how
easy this money making sounds when
you hear the other fellow talking
about It.
"Make the most of your collateral,"
Jim Bryant hud said. "Size up your
Hh'-ets."
Now, If I do say It as shouldn't, my
only assets are my beaux yeux, as
Madame So-and-So would call them.
Well, why not? I smiled a slow, cheer
ful giln, and somehow the girls knew
that 1 hnd hit the mill on the head
That's the way it started, my busi
ness of creating beauty for others. The
following Sunday morning's papers
blazoned an awfully cute advertise
ment, and from then on, our delight
ful nest In the attic became my place
of business. And I was busy, too,
strange as It may seem, but tho
stiiingest part of all was getting used
to the name of Mile. Pretty.
.Mrs. Gibbon cnine flist, with a repu
tation as a professional beauty to pre
,ere though her soul perish. Then
little Betty Enderhurst, fagged from
Inst night's late supper dance, rushed
hi und demanded to bq made ready
lor a dinner that night, where she was
to meet somebody "quite special." She
looked nt me enviously nnd sighed,
and I know Just what wns In her
heart, and did my best for her.
But why go over the list? Every
body knows what the right kind of an
mhertisemetit will do. There were
eight the first day, not so had for a
beginning.
It took a heap of tact. I finally got
Sirs. Gibson to leave off wearing pink
shades and to wear only blues. Little
Betty had to be told that haste and
too much enthusiasm are fatiguing
anil only make one look flustered. 1
bellied her cultivate a very delightful
repose. I congratulated myself on a
vei genuine success, deserted be
cause I had put my heart Into my
work.
All my visitors thought our room
ajjitp unusual and exactly what they
had thought so often a beauty parlor
should be like. They did not suspect
Unit on several occasions two girls
were hidden behind the big screen,
getting pointers, and almost choking
with laughter.
Jim Bryant's married sister had
been over-doing- hospitality that win
ter, and Mrs. Gibson brought her to
me, without previous notification.
Grace Bryant, who had sometimes
called at our office to steal Jimmy for
a tea dance or to help entertain some
girl visitors, recognized me at once,
as was natural, since I am, as I said
before, not altogether ugly. Her Ideas,
like those of my ancestors, were along
n narrow plane. Mrs. Gibson never
came again, but whenever I saw her
she was wearing a becoming shade
of blue. I wondered If she thanked
me down deep In her heart.
While Betty Enderhurst got the
reputation for outdoing the Baltimore
belles In their lazy ease of manner,
I stood on the edge of failure, watch
ing my line, fat bank account slipping
) slowly away Into the haze of ruin.
Then again I awoke to the possibil
ities of even this situation, inspired
to a real flight.
Yes, I've taken two attractive
rooms, now. They .are hung In ash
green and silver, Chevallat has an
order for a beautiful golden wig to
tit Eva Uerrlck's dull brown locks,
and Eva Is splendidly ready to be my
assistant. She's got the key to fit
the golden lock, if you'll forgive the
pun. My own wig Is the smartest

"Oh. Mister you stepped right on the

Grant could scarcely repress n smile

"Mother made It" with a pride that
went straight to Grant's heart.
Grunt's smile gained the mastery,
but his tone wns duly apolegetic:
"Well then. Miss Kittle, wliat no you

The little maid had shaken out the

faded gingham dress. "I'll go with you
now. I want to earn some money right

Mother she mightn't to gn balk to work

An hour later Sister Clarice received

To Kittle that ornately furnished
room proved a veritable Wonderland.

Itabson Sees Great Opportunities
For Municipalities
Wellesley Hills, Mass., Sept. 23,'
1922. Roger W. Babson this week
Issues a warning to cities and towns
to got busy on their municipal im
provements Immediately. His reas
ons aro as follews:
"A revolution Is to tako placo In
city development during the next
decade. The automobile is to havo
as creat an effect on living condi
tions as the sewing mnchlno hnd on
weaving. As the mill has takon tho
placo of the homo spinning wheel,
so tho suburb Is to take the place of
the city for residential purposes.
Tromendous movements from the
city to the suburbs may bo expected
during the noxt few yoars. Wise
cities will begin to immediately pre
pare for this great sububan devel
opment, which, in many cases, will
mean the extension of city limits.
"Such a revolution In living must
result is tho extension of water
plants, expansion of sowerago sys
tems, and a tremendous ora of now
road building, home building nnd
other improvements This will cause
a great demand for carponters, ma
sons, plasters, and common labor of
all kinds. The building boom has
not yet reached its height. Every
fgeaturo connected with building,
from the supplying of the raw ma
terials to the furnishings of tho
honve, should prosper for the noxt
year or two. This is tho real reas
on why certain forms of labor aro
scarce today and why certain build
ing materials and commodities are
strengthening in price. It Is tho
real reason why the mine operators
of tho Central states and tho mill
owners of the Eastern states havo
been obliged to take back tho work
ers at tho old wages. It Is this
emigration from tho city to tho su

of course, good schools.
