Show As to Woman's Vanity. (Philadelphia Record.) "Yes, I admit that vanity is the common com-mon weakness of my se," remarked the attendant in the waiting room of a big department store. "This place is supposed to be a haven of rest for weary shoppers, with its comfortable rocking chairs, its couches, its electrie fans, and all the other appliances designed to allure al-lure women. But I am afraid its mission mis-sion has gone astray, for it is merely a place where women come to prink up. The mirrors are the main attraction, and-there is always a scramble to get in front of them. If one woman takes up too much time while others are waiting wait-ing there is bound to be trouble. Some women who use make-up - carry .their materials about with them, and they have the queerest places to hide them. I have seen a powder rag pulled, from the inside of a hat, from a glove, even from a stocking. Sometimes it's fun to watch them." |
