MEMORANDA

Mrs Winntck thought sitting ex¬

tremely upright and staring intently atthe third knob in the fresco over theopposite window that such thingsreally never did happen In real life

1 sa4 anyhow if they did happen it wasperfectly absurlMfifcoy should happert to her

The voices at the text table came tohr distinctly been away awhelo month visiting and Haroldbad not expected back for twoweeks but she had grown homesickShe remember Wftnbat In his lastletter he hadDo not fee-

T1

that you must T rl ck dear Yourvisit is doing yoiJo much good that Iwnttt you to BtMfrfogjt aslonK as youlike

When she haPea that she badthought how penfecfly self sacritlcln gand thoughtful Harold was when sheknew he must be wandering aroundlike a lost sheep In the family hotelwhere they made their home Haroldwas always so dependent upon her forcompany She had thought just thatkeptrilht

She remembered now of having onceread that trying id surprise peoplewas foolish It woe foolish Indeed shethought She bad coma back unanpounced Just at dinner time and hidlug her suitcase in the debuhiof thocloset had gone down to the diningroom anticipating gleefully Haroldssurprise when ho1 walked Into his soiltary meal and found her thcrej <

She had noticed tho occupants of thenext table when sho entered becausethoy were strangers to her and be-

cause one was so surprisingly prettywith masses of blonde hair and lovelycoloring The older woman hd spokenlrst

Are you going out again this evenlng she had asked I noticed MrWiaaicks car being brought aroundas I came IB

Yes tho pretty girl had answeredHe telephoned from downtown an

hour ago saying it was such a fineevening that it would be pleasant tetake a ride and get supper somewhereThe last time he took me out

By this time Mn Wlaalck hadNralgktened up with beating heart-sad begun sUrlag at the third knob iathe freece aaeaawhlle giving herwmlUr a perfecUy unintelligible orderAnd she had been pitying Harold beAHM of hla siege of loaellnew

T dont know whea the pretty gir-lwat eu Ire meta raaa who was asfascinating as Mr Wiaalck And kee-bees H lovely to nit since I cane

Well remarked tho older womanitIleof the time to tefftno truthHer Harold What a monster of

duplicity Mrs Wjnnick fiercely ate a-

piece of celery so covered with saltthat it strangled her

Hes so amusing cald the prettygirl And witty Ho kept mo in aperfect sale of laughter last time aUIthe way out and back

And Harold in all tho years MrsWhtnick had known him had been dlsUaguishcd for his quietness MrsW nnlck ate her dinner mechanicallythinking bitter thoughts Tho worsttitall was to find there were angles toHarlds aaturo which bad been hiddel front her his wife She never hadbeen kept la gales of laughter forhours at a time

She heard the pretty girl mention-Ing Mr Winaick and the theater MrsJWlaaick regretted wildly that she hadbeen so idiotic as to abstain from atheater party while away solely be-cause there was to be a man presentwhom she bad jilted in order to marryIWIRBlck

She had heard that the more youjcare for a person the more violent Isyour dislike when you begin to hatoIhim or her Now she felt that sheIhated Harold WInnick desperately Allshe hoped for was that she might beiable to maintain a cold and calmmeaner when he cams In At thatInstant she saw him enter the big dinlag room and watched feverishly ashe threaded his way toward her corIaer Her heart sunk hopelessly asnear the next table ho bowed beam-ingly to the prett glrl and her com-panion

At hi own tnbltfcho paused in bewilderod surprise Then with a joyousexclamation which Mrs WInnick labeled hypocritical he bent over andkissed her before everybody d-

STYLES INHAIR

Its funny about hair said the girlwho likes to talk People in formerrears didnt have such a time overtheir topknots Why when I was alittle girl I can remember my mothertaking her hair in one hand combingIt upward in three motions giving itone twlstI think they called It aFrench twistand then it ran up theback of her head to the top Thenwith ono more motion she coiled whatwas loft up above on the roof some ¬

where Jabbed In three hairpins andthat was all there was to it And mmother was a stylish woman too

I believe I had an aunt who wara false front at that time though itwas considered a sort of disgrace tothe family and she was invariablnpqken of as poor Aunt Amelia mudas though she was feeble minded orafflicted with a cork leg Hair washair then and everybody seemed thave It I still remember the gfnamed Abble who alked up the hillby our home to school with her hairIn two thick symmetrical braids tiedwith cherry ribbon From the secoaprimary grade to the first high schoolyear Abbles braids grow far belowliar waist and were just as thick athe ends as at the top Every girhad thick braids and tho motherswerent behind in that respect eitherThey wouldnt have known what to dowith a rat unless1 they had used it tostuff a soft cushion

I dont know where all that hairhas gone to Im sure

At the present time proceededthe girl who likes to talk toown alittle hair attached to your scalp istaken as a personal Injury by the hair-dressers

¬

They tell you in sad tonethat its impossible to dress your hairso that it loops fashionable If youhave any of your own

Ive never been exactly crazyabout my hair declared the girl wholikes to talk because I was broughtup ID the belief that it was an entire ¬

ly natural thing to have hair grow onlones head and grow thick and long

just as much as It was natural togrow teeth or a nose When I wasIn school I had occasional spasms oftrying to arrange my hair after theprevailing mode but somehow Itnever worked

But Ive sever been actually apolo ¬

getic and unhappy till this winterIvo got so now that I slink and cowe-at the sight of a hairdressers signand shudder with apprehension if Ihave to enter tho ebop The firsthairdresser I approached this winterwith a request to be made beautiful 1

regarded mo with unconcealed horroras she started to take down my locks

Why she gasped you dont weara braids

Why should I wear a braidI in a superior comfortable wayhave plenty of my own hair to braidIf I want to-

Theroupon>

the hairdresser explod-ed

¬

Didnt I know that a braid couldnot be arranged properly unless bothits ends wore tree The only thingto be done if one was so unfortuntens to have hall was to wad it up overa cagelike cap and pound it downas near nothingness as possible anthen wind around ones head a braid30 inches long at least made ofvery best imported hair Yes such-

a braid was expensive Anywherefrom 35 up to 100 and of coursethe more individual the shadehigher the price My own hair alway-had looked a most ordinary brown to-

me Firmly I refused the 60 braidand the hairdresser threw upbands All she could do for mo f

appeared was to make an oldfash ¬

ioned pompadour and an oldfashfashioned array of puffs at the backout of my own hair to be sure bu

nearly as possible like the falsesets you can now buy at reducedrates So after paying her I went

and took down my hair and didt up my own way

A few days later I surged into an-other

¬

hair shop and fell into the handsof a gvm chewing young person calledMabel to whom I broke the news atonce that I Jd not own a braid Mabeldidnt faint She said to leave it toher and as I was in a chair with anapron tied around my neck and help-less

¬

I did-

Some day Mabel is going to beperched OB a pillar of fame I dontknow exactly what she did or how she

It but whoa she was through withme I was a fashionable dream Shetied and divided and subdivided andtwisted and wreathed my hair till Imerged with the semblance of a per ¬

ectly lovely braid puffed out allaround my face Oh it looked simpleand lovely and most becoming and Iwas entranced

Do you know it took me threequarters of an hour to get the hair-pins

¬

out when I took down my hairWhy 1 bad hairpins stacked up aroundme like cordwood all over the dresserand the floor I looked tike a cap ¬

five tied to the stake all ready fortho match to be applied I got de ¬

lirious I didnt know theta were thataiany hairpins in the world or thatne head of hair could be divided intoAllllons of strands as mine was

That coiffure was built like the I

GETTINGREADYr

I

When I decided to go south for atow weeks said pretty Miss Carewdolefully I thought I was going sovery inexpensively that I deserved axedal for my cleverness

You havent given It up I hopewaked her friend Your cousin hasplanned such a gay time for you thatit would be too bad not to go

Oh no Im going said Miss Carew I couldnt back out now thatmy cousin has laid so many plansShe has a dance arranged for thevery evening of the day I arrive soI hope my trunk wont be late Butyou see Ive come to the conclusionthat the economical way to go alwaysturns out to be the most expensiveWhen my cousin wrote me not to fallto come I accepted her invitation atonce because I had so very little tobuy in order to gosaideasingle new garment

Thats what I thought said MissCarew I decided that a little piecing out would fix me up and thatswhere I made my mistake If I hadstarted by getting a complete new outfit it would have been cheaper

The first things I looked at weremy hats explained Miss Carew Ofcourse I couldnt travel in my plumedhat and my white one was out of thequestion I took my old one to themilliner and had It retrimmed butwhen it came home I wasnt satisfiedand I went back for a JMKWK OJ1fttThough I told the milliner itcwastortraveling she showed me all sorts ofdeformed and distorted things withmiles of ribbon and feathers on themand calmly announced that the lowestprTce was 28 She said she wouldntbo giving the hats away for thatridiculous sum if It wasnt late in theseason Of course I had to have anice hat

People expect a stranger to be partlcujarly well dressed agreed MissCarews friend politely Isnt ittunny If we saw the same girl athome every day we wouldnt care halfso much what she wore

Well I had to pay a terrible pricefor that hat sighed Miss CarewReally though It is beautiful

Things have gone up HO said herfriend You cant get hats for theoldtime rIceIThea I thought my old suit woulddo if I had it pressed and got a newwaist to light It up went oa MissCarew I ran all about looking forsomething about the same shade asmy suit and finally found one for allthat would do I discovered that mysupply of handkerchiefs was gettinglow and money that I begrudaSd wentIntone Ones My old belt tas goodenough for home but not for vIsitingso were was another expense

Belts make the finishing touchBald the friend Ive seen lots ofsuits spoiled by poor ones

My crepe de chine had to becleaned and the sleeves had to bemade over related Miss Carew

when it came back from thedressmakers r thought it looked hprrid nnd I got a blua meteor silk Twosuits had to be pressed I had to getthree pairs of gloves Then my 11

pers cost me a lot more than iTaxpectedYou

can use everything when youcome home said her friend consol-ingly Youll be glad to have themwhoa you get back x

Thats Just It sighed Miss CarewDid you ever have anything to fall-

back on when you came home from avIsit There wont be a thing left ofmy old clothes and the things I havebought new will be sights to see

Personally I am always rejoicedwhen my things go to pieces saidher friend For then I am absolute-ly forced to Invest in new ones Itswhen theyre only half worn that Iam in despair Then my conscienceforces me to make them do for anyand all occasions Theres one conso-lation in going awayyou can wear alot of things everybody at homo hasseen and the strangers will considerthem new

Maybe that will be a comfort saidMiss Carew more cheerfully Yousee the railroad rates are so nice andlow and I want to go so much Mycousin has planned the loveliest times I

But when it came to getting three en¬

tirely new dressesYou didnt exclaimed her friendWhy yes said Miss Carew Even

when fixed over all my things lookedso shabby somehow My cousin Iseoirg to BO much trouble to give me agay time arranging to have somethingevery evening Im there I had tohave two dance gowns and I absolute-ly needed something for house wearI think I did pretty well not to get a-

new suit

Yes t1t you bad stayed homeyou wouldnt Oh her friend in-terrupted herself Isnt that wherethat handsome young Mr Randolphlives who was here last summer atyour aunts

I believe there are a number ofmen of that name there acknowl ¬

edged Miss Carew with rising colorHut that has absolutely nothing to doith n1 am going for a rest y°

now
