Vera Schomaker is the proud owner of a famous beauty salon. She claims the secret of her success is the slogan Wash your face. Some of her best customers are Laverne Seaton and her pet poodle, Joanna Talley who is a stenographer, manicurist Dorothy Varley, and Luther Wynn who has to keep up his reputa- tion as beirg the answer to fifty million maid- en's prayers. Opal Sharpe just broke the world's record by swimming across the English Channel in ten minutes. She was after her fiancee, Joe Win- stead, who decided he was too young for matri- mony and wanted to see Paris anyway. The big business man who backed Opal's sensational dash was Phillip Zurlineg he wanted to collect the S3000 Joe owed him. Jean Sloctor is the New York Times' chief sob sister. Her boss, Jim Henderson, claims she can wring more tears from the public than a bushel of onions. Her biggest scoop was when she cornered Joyanna Umbach, the second Garbo, and got a five column story of her woes with love, lite, and money. Norman Smith runs a saw mill in a small New England village. Life among the daisy fields seems to appeal to him, especially when Lois W ard neglects her duties in the town's only grocery store to chat with him. A few others who have gone back to nature and the simple life are Leroy Yount and Lola Snodgrass who own a chicken farm. Edith Sechrist is head nurse for the chickens and hired hand Norman Foster keeps her company. Betty Steel is a telephone operator and re- members every number in town but her own. Bill Springer, who has his finger in a political pie, has no trouble at all though. Edith Steffey has become temperamental Dean Beard's model. Dean is an artist, known throughout the world for his unique method of painting without a brush. He simply dabs his fingers in the paint and lets himself go. Bryan Steel is in the lumber business, and his chief splinter-puller for life is Mary Jean Walser. Claude Williams, one of the best lum- berjacks in the Steel Lumber co. , recently set a new record by cutting down two redwoods in one hour. He gives credit for his success to a breakfast cereal developed by Charles Womack which is guaranteed to make the eater work or else, Incidently, Earl Henry, has been the hos- pital for weeks after eating some of the cereal.

Maurine Worthen has established an old maid's home on Long Island. Some of the guests are Frances Price who collects parrots as a hobby, Ethel Mae Rowlett who is working on an invention to add weight to her slender chassis. tShe has so far concealed her marriagel Elizabeth Drew with her sixteen cats which she supports by taking in sewing, Ola Ducumman who was deserted in Paris by a Russian noble. man who was rushing the other way. James Barnes runs an ice cream wagon and Laura Belle Gamble who has become Mrs. Barnes goes along with him to dip the ice cream. Vera Whaley was found wandering on the beach in Tahiti suffering from amnesia. Her fellow sufferer, Dorothy Jones, could almost but not quite remember the last time they ate. The victims were taken in to the little grass hut of tender-hearted Mary Nell Foster and Loretta Lister who have gone away to forget. A mist comes before my vision and I can hardly see - - something is all wet- - Ah yes, it's the ocean. Swimming lazily about is a Merman who I-believe is Mr. Haller---no it can't be. There must be something wrong---just a minute. I regret that the prophecy must be discon- tinued at this point---it seems that someone sub- stituted the fish-bowl for my crystal. 4
