is isa is a n favorite vice de- de device vice of the playwrights and the novelists no lists And in real life every now and then some suspicious woman takes a tip from the story books and plays and does pre pre- precisely pre precisely the same thing In Brooklyn New Kew York only the other day a blonde and pretty young woman took the witness stand before Supreme y t Court Justice Cropsey and told how she had transformed herself into a dark eyed I beauty who hungry eyed Spanish ap- ap appealed appealed ap appealed pealed so 80 strongly to her husband that tJ he pursued her madly and carried on a Pi riotous flirtation with wit her The blonde wife was Mrs Anna Nash 01 and the the husband was John Nash Kash a good looking young salesman with deep brooding eyes And on the s strength of the testimony the wife gave of Johns John's conduct Justice Cropsey granted her a separation and and alimony The drama of the Nashes started three years ago when Mr Nash all at once developed a mysterious habit of not com com- coming coming com coming ing home to dinner at night Promptly at six o'clock housewifely Mrs Nash had the roast lamb Iamb with its mint sauce sauce and mashed potatoes ready in the the the- the oven The salad she had all on its pretty salad I IThe plates crisp and cool in the ice icebox ox 3 But t seven seven and and eight and nine o'clock rolled by while the roast withered the potatoes grew hard and stringy the salad lan languished lan lan- languished languished and the young wife pined And when somewhere around twelve or one one or two the dashing Mr Nash came rolling home to his wife's very natural question Where have you been darling dar dar- dar darling ling all he would say was Out Now out as an explanation for such continuous and retarded absences did not quite please or satisfy Mrs 1 Nash If Mr Nash Kosh were merely spending the playing evening evening playing poker with the boys bos or or sitting up with a sick friend says Mrs Nashin Nash in relating her experience I didn't see th that t I had really very nry substantial substantial substantial cause cause- tor complaint But if on the theother theother theother other hand he was passing his time with some other woman I felt that I 1 had very genuine cause to complain I understood that might be pending spending his evening at perfectly in- in innocent innocent in innocent diversions and yet et not want to tobe tobe tobe be compelled to give an on account of it at home Theres There's There something wild and re- re rebellious rebellious re rebellious in most men which makes them resent being stood upon upon the carpet So So SoI SoI I decided to find out for tor myself But how It happened just after this that I saw Leonoro Leonore Ulric in a play utterly change her looks by a clever manipulation manipulation manipulation tion of wigs make and eyebrow up pen pen- penciL pen pencil cil When I saw her my hands suddenly flew together right there in the dark theater I had bad the ideal Of counsel coursel course 1 I IJ would disguise myself as Leonore Ulric I Jid-I I would follow my husband as she shedid shedid M J lid did hers here in the play and find out where he spent hii hi nights nighta away from me lAt SAt that time I was waa doing work as an extra with a moving picture company I r I and I had access to all kinds of make up make So Soone one idle afternoon afternoon in the dressing room I experimented eI What at bt lH an be brown brown- hair brown brown mole on my y left cheek heek Or should I be bea bea bea a strawberry blonde with red hair dead white skin and a carrot carrot get up gen gene generally orally Or should I put on a brunette wig and plaster on the red paint and go out hunting my husband as a dusky Spanish beauty Of course as a good wife I knew in ina ina ina a moment t that at the thing to do was to please my dear husband asi as i to looks In real real life I am a blonde bl yellow hair blue eyes yes very white skin cheeks faintly pink There comes a time in married life when husbands are arc more frank than tender In one of those mo- mo moments mo moments ments my darling John had told me he be hated the sight of a blonde and as for him give give him a good bouncing black black- haired black hair haired id girl with a wicked wink to her eye and big red peonies in her checks cheeks Therefore like a good wife I de- de decided decided de decided that was just what dearest John should have On the night I had chosen for my first adventure I carefully smeared m my pale complexion with a thick grease paint I rubbed over this a coating of dark olive powder Next I took the proper shade of rouge and Iwas I was generous and fond open open- open handed handed in the way I painted my che cheeks ks and lips No subtle violet effect for my John Not even en the blushing appeal of the therose rose Instead I painted on my cheeks the great big cabbage peony until I glowed and I shone As a work of art Iwas I was a credit to the rouge pot Then I looked in the glass and end like all good artists I felt my efforts had fallen short of my ideals I saw at once that the work had merely begun My little boyish thin figure didn't go with this flamboyant not not- not meet afraid to challenging Carmen I knew at the very first glance that such such sucha a face demanded a generous bounteously bounteously bounteously curved figure The hip pads and the flouncy fr fronts are not far to find in any decently equipped property room so I soon was well built out a new figure to go with my new face Then for tor a moment I lost breath I hadn't a frock which would fit over my newly acquired proportions proportional I But I had a kind woman friend with witha a flamboyant figure curving in and out like Anna Held and on towards the bounteous My lily friend willingly loaned me a red velvet cloak a frock of yellow yellowish ish bronze slippers slipper with white and green greenglass greenglass greenglass glass buckles very alluring and lemon colored gloves Some men I thought as I regarded myself in the mirror would like tha effect some come would loathe it but every man of them would certainly certainly turn and look one Its Its one thing to dress a part and quite another to act it it As I waited out out- outside outside side aide my mI husbands husband's place of business I must confess that my heart quivered But my three friends comforted me and we followed my husband and a little haired haired brown lady to an Ocean Parkway l r 9 A Ary ry rL- rL r e r r Mrs Anna Nash as she really is cabaret My Afy friends ant and I took took a nearby arby table and I started right in to see see if I Ico co could 1 snare my my husband away away from that haired brown haired haired girl By the time the soup was brought Ie lie had actually noticed me lie He had given me one appraising glance glance I knew my my wifely knowledge of knowledge of him made me feel that sure sure that he de decidedly liked the blare blare and blaze of my coloring and cos coso costume tume But I lowered my eyes and tried not to push things too oo swiftly When the fish came on his eyes were hot on my my hat I 1 knew he he liked the great droop and challenge of it the dev dev- devilish devilish devilish ilish I dont don't care of it it the come on lets let's be careless of it it I didn't dare to look a at him for fOJ his gaze was vas burning I knew drama was stirring at my husbands husband's table and I didn't have much much appetite for my beef Over there thereas as was plain to see a 11 young person with with brown eyes eye wasn't pleased with my hus bus husband's husband's bands band's interest t in me She got got badly peeved when he h handed the the waiter a a slip of paper and pointed in in my my my
