THE BEE: OMAHA, THVKS1UY, JANUARY ir, 1014. 9 The Manicure Lady "1 seen a thins when I was doing tome hopping thh noon." said the Manicure I.ody, "that reminded mo of my child hood days back In the old village. There was a old fellow with chin whiskers on that came Into the swell department store where I was shopping-, and after he had bought a pair of gloves he asked the clerk If that was the very best she could do on the rrlce. Of course, the itlrl be hnnd the counter looked at him and laughed and eald that sho couldn't cut no prices so: the old fellow threw the gloves back and told her' to keep them, lie said he was going somewhere with his trade where people would appreciate him and the money he spent." "I suppose that broke the girl's heart," said the Head Barber. "8he didn't care none, of course," said the Manicure lady, "but It kind of set me thinking that there It a lot of people In this world tike that old guy with .he fringe on his lower Jaw. He was In there to spend a Iollar and get 10 cents over a dollar In value. And even then he thought that the store people ought to look for him with outstretched arms nnd treat him llko a prince. 'T remember when we lived In a small town. George. We had that kind of stuff handed to us on every side. The old gent used to keep a hotel when I was a mere child one of them country hotels whjre there Is accommodation for man and beast, nnd you could tako your pick which kind of accommodations you wanted. I remember one time an old fnrmer walked up to father and said: 'Ed, I always stop here for my dinner every time I come to town, five or six times every year. And I always pay my 25 cents for dinner without no squeal. Don't you think you ought tb'throw In n good cigar with the dinner once In n while?' I remember how the old gent told him to get out of the place and ko somewhere elre for his two-bit dinners In the future." "He must have been pretty cheap, that farmer," observed the Head Barber. "The cheap folks ain't all In the coun try. George." said the Manicure Larly. "Thcro Is a lot of them in the city that would llko to beat down tho clerks In the big stores If they thought that thoy cculd get away with It. but they know there ain't a chance In the world, bo they let their meanness crop out other ways. They think cheap thoughts even If they haven't got th enerve to express them. One girl friend Of mine that wouldn't think of asking for a lower price on a shirtwaist would ride down town morning after morning with me on the Subway, and I noticed after T had dug three or four mornings In a row for the carfare that she would make an awful stall In her pocketbook for 10 cents and pulling that 'Oh, let me pay' stuff. Take It from me, George, after the third morning T let her look until sho had dug up that hard, thin dime, and after that she didn't snug gle up to me no more. I suppose she was looking for another victim "That's the system they play in the big toWjU, .George. They. pat.yo.u ori-the back until, you blush as long as you can help them, but thq minuto you start looking out of the window and not "re sponding to their hollers for help they beat It for frefh fields and pastures new. How many friends have you got here In the effy. George, that would stick to you If you were going through bankruptcy?" "T guess tho only friends I woujd have then would be my wife," said tho Head Harber. "and the lawyer that was putting me through." Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Certainly.

It U most IsstructlTk Terrible Minutes That One When You Ask Dad for Betty By Nell Brinkley Copyright, 1911, International News Service. II Nell Brinkley Says: That's a terrible ralnuto, sure! I wished, when I was little, that I was a. boy. Boys could stay out on the prnirio later; they could turn a better flip-flop on tho min ister's fence; they never had to sing "Shine On, Little Sta-a-ah-a-ahr!" at the church Christmas doings and have the organ cease and leavo them to go alone. They never had to wash their necks as often, and they could settle things up in a good, soul-satisfying manner when j they and the chuckle-headed boy across the aisle didn't agree! Ii wished that then Just as hard as a ltf-tle towhead Who lOved a do: and the whole outdoors and boy conversation and boy books could! But I haven't for a long time. And I don't over when I re mem ber that I'd havo to lXok some grim-faced man who called the Betty whom I loved his "baby" in tho eye and proposo to him! Proposo to him that I swipo her away! So it's good to bo n glr! oh, Just for that reason alono; kissing your fingers to all the other things that go to make "being a girl" delectable. For Launcelot Du Lake nover puffed out his chest ns wido or took as big a breath when ho swung his whistling sword for marvelous ad venturo as a chap does when ho buttons up his coat swallows his sick heart grips tho hand of tho little cowardy-custard behind him and asks her father for her. Asking for your first "Job" Is a torrlblo episode. But this Is a stunner besldo it. For you know ho doesn't love you no matter what a safe, comfortable, hustling, clean, square chap you arc becauso your'o a thief. Ho might as well bo blind he doesn't seo your smooth, clean look and straight-gazing eyes you look Just llko a porch-climber to him! Anyway, you're afraid you do. And tho speech tho epeech! Where Is It? Last night, in tho dark peace of your bed, you said It oft and it was a great talk I It was short beautifully short and It was full of sense and persuasion it put your case and Betty's truthfully and perfectly1 and It reminded him that he had onco been in your shoes and had less than you reminded him that "up to now" he had liked yorj hold all the arguments that Love has preached to the world since tho tiny beginning of things. 'It was beautiful. It was honest nnd serious and short! And whore is it now? All you can think of 1b, "Sho loves me (say yes), and I love her and I can make her happy!" They all say that! You almost wish you'd fallen in lovo withVn orphan! Cultivating a Smile Helpful Beauty Hints from Norma Phillips, "The Mutual Girl" -.J "I had to think cheerfully." "1 cultivated n smile." By MAUDE MILLER. "Of course, I would bp untrue to my profession if I said thrre was such an other thins In the world so beautiful aa varying facial, expression. ' says Miss Norma Phl.llps, who Is the. Mutual g!rl in the new Mutual moving pictures by that name. "And the funny part of It Is that I have had to make over my own face, and so I can speak from experience when I say that true beauty is facial ex pression. "I have what Is known as a trag'c face. That Is, my features are Inclined to droop and my eyes to look wistful. Tragic facea may do for tragic part, hut the first thing to do In tho making over process la to know Just when to apply the brakes. Applying the brakes Is hard work, for it means looking cheerful whether you are happy or not, but It brought such wonderful results after I hud tried It a while and had thought out a method that It was really fun. "I had to think cheerful thoughts out loud whenever )t was necessary to l.iok happy,' so I cultivated a smile. Some times I smiled outatde when I was mis erable within, but after a while It was easier and I found that with very little (extra trouble I could think hatfoy thoughts all the while. j After my smile came naturally I began i minimis wun my mourn cioseu. This Is the very hardest thins In the world to do, because it throws all thu reaponfibtllty of the arn'le on the eye, but It simply reprerented a new diffi culty for me to overcome, and I orae. tlccd until I could tmllo with ovory fea ture of my- face. You would be surprised tu know how pinch the nose will do fur flvnnt.ilin I wrinL-lj. tut ni.n .. un slightly when I laugh, and It positively , ladiates a sense of humor. Think uhutj It Is to havo a nose express a seiue of humor. "After n while I discovered Unit I could feel emotion myself and express It more clearly if I felt It from my diaphragm. So I tried lo feel every emotion there and then gradually work It out uf my system till it roachod my face. I dls-i covered that bodily expression Is subordi nate to facial movement? and yot acts In harmony with it, und so a greut deal of uttcntlou need not be given to bodily expression , "The hands and arms may be "vd fcr exprcslon, sjch as their at'dden droop Indlcaatlng submission, or tho tthriig of the shoulder may be used for a hundred things, but of what use Ih either without the nccompaylng facial oxprsion? The drooping or lifting of the feature of the fuce mean absolutely everything In beauty of expression, and without expression a beautiful fuce con veys nothing more to the mind and heart of another Individual than does a beauti ful picture. .

There Is nothing like learning the swret of real expression for the beautifying of any features. To natural beauty ex preson utirpllrs vivacity, tu the plain girl it lights up tho fuce as nothing vise ever wl Jupiter's Moons By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. It was 391 years ago, January 7, 161V, that the great Galileo discovered the sat ellites of Jupiter. The true nature of the quartette or faint stars was In stantly perceived, Thero could bo no doubt that they were small bodies subordinate to Ju piter, attending upon him, and re volving about him, and bearing tho Identical relation ship to him that the moon bears to the earth. Claitleo's vision of Jupiter's moons wan the u.ucues flrtt substant'al gift to man, Its initial overture to the Innate yearlng of the human mind toward a knowledge of the mysteries of Infinite space. And a won derful overture It wos, full of profound, est significance, and destined to shake up all the thought-systems of all the schools. that he had been permitted to gate upon objects which, up to that time, the eys of man hud never beheld, Galileo con tinued to search the heavens with his strange now Instrument, and the follow ing year the telescope' showed him the phases of Venus. Seventy-five years before, Copernlcut had launched his famous Heliocentric theory, that tho earth and other planets are the members of a system of which the sun Is the center, and his Ignorant and Infuriated opponents said to htm mockingly: "If your doctrine were true, Venus would show phases like the moon," to which Copernicus meekly replied; "You are right. I know not what to say to you; but God Is good, and In time He will find on answer to your objection." The God-given answer came when the rude telescope of Galileo showed the phases of Venus. The Copcrnlcan theory was no longer a theory, but a demonstrated fact, Coper nicus had been dead sixty-eight years, and his memory was under the ban of the Infallibilities, but along came Galileo with the facts about Jupiter and Venua which would not down, and round to those facts all the world was to come at last.
