K H!i 8 GOODWIN' S WEEKLY Hl M ' - -" - i I H I THE CHA TTER-BOX m !Hi III V ill INCE time lln" m. 09 111 memorial wo MP 1 l men have J III sought to be II b e a utiful. I n h .- 1 Me!! 1 the early days H of Greek and H v Egyptian history the members of tho H fair sex thought of nothing else but H their mirrors studded with precious H stones and a dozen beauty aides that H would enhance their charms in the H eyes of their devoted suitors. Flowers B were crushed from the fairest fields to M make perfume for milady's toilet 1 table; oils and soothing lotions from M, herbs and tiees were combined to- M gethcr to do their bit for her beauty, M while slaves and waiting maids galore M were at her beck and call. The love ' of beauty has come all the way down ' the ages and today, even in the rush m and hurry of a thousand war duties, ' the wise matron and maid spend sev- M eral hours each night in beautifying M and are also patrons of reliable beauty H; . shops. Farafine has come into its own M recently for many uses and the thrifty Hj housewife who in the summer days M, pours the crystal like liquid on her Hh i winter jellies and jams, does not H dream, perhaps that some of her sis- Hj ters are using the same preparation to Hi preserve their faces. M There is a certain matron in our H1' community w ho has past by several Hj summers the period of "middle age." H? Mother Nature in years gone by was H unusually kind to her and she pos- M sesses for a woman of her years an H excellent figure. But her face! Ah, H that's the rub! It has been treated to HI an overdose of the parafln treatment. H I (At least that is what the Tabbies are H j purring over at the 4 o'clock tea cups.) H It has not been administered evenly, H J for one cheek stands puffed out as H plump as a pippin, while the other is Hj j puffed in rather a modified thiee-cor- H nered effect. Hi We are told that the parafin is in- H jected while warm into the skin and H then, as it cools, is moulded into posi- Hj j ) tion by a skillful masseuse and war- H j, ' ranted not to allow the face to sag, but H j will produce the round appearance of H youth. Maybe the treatment will be H (' successful in winter weather, but how H't about the torrid days of July and Au- gust? It might then be tempted to H I "run a wee bit," and then what would Hu i be the result? It has been a real joy H j( to a certain coterie of women to dis- Icuss the inflated cheeks of this certain matron to their hearts' content, for she belongs to the set of climbers who, though born and bred within the shad- ) ows of the Wasatch mountains, has years ago forgotten the friends of their childhood and the memory of f their barefoot days when they helped ' to deliver the evening's milk. M ! Moral Puff your face if you will, but don't forget the childhood compan ions who have grown up in the same city and happen to know family his tories from A to Z. HB was an honorary member of Ks the musical set. That is, she en joyed music, although not much of a player herself. But she appreciated the best. "How I long for those springtime buds to unfurl their little green ban ners and then hear preparations for the big organ recitals at the Taber nacle," she exclaimed at a sewing circle, as she stopped work ' long enough on a sweater for one of the "Sammies" to look out of the window at the snow lancers charging the earth from the gray sky battalions. "First there's the great crowd of tourists at the doors, all excitement and talking. Then tho jam and con fusion of getting your seat inside and then silence and then. music. Such music! When 'Mac' plays! I love to hear him sweep over the keys of the organ when he's playing some oi those wonderful classical compositions. But O! when he gives us one of the simpler ones then is when I listen with heart and soul as "well as ears. There in the middle of the program it is. You all remember of course you do. 'Old Melody arranged by Per former.' Lucky are you if it's 'Swanee River.' I think McClellan's arrange ment of that Stephen Foster melody is the sweetest memory of them all. "You see a couple of southerns turn each to the other, give just a faint sus picion of a smile and then hunch over nearer for that loyal elbow touch of sympathy when a stranger hears a voice from home. For they come from Fosterland. Over on the other side is a couple from New England. They love it, too, for 'Swanee River' is loved by Northland as well as Southland. The man turns to speak to his silver-haired wife sees a bit of a tear glistening in her eyes then turns and seems to swallow a bit hastily. "And all the while the beautiful song is being played wonderfully. 'Mac' is not playing, he's singing, I tell you, singing to the heart of you! The ar rangement consists, as near as I can make out, of the air of this plaintive tune played in stately, measured time, while with his other hand McClellan plays the accompaniment 'way up high, like reeds shaken by the wind and the heart instinctively seems to measure its tread to that of the noble instrument. Soon you see 'back home' Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, wherever it may be. Faces long since fallen asleep on God's pillow peer at you from the midst of the great pipes. Voices silent many, many years ago, whisper to you words of courage, and strength and love. And all the while that gifted of God releases the silvery stream of music fiom the great instru ment towering above him. O! I want to hear 'Mac' play 'Swanee River' again with the whole day ennobled by the sweet old song attuned to your soul." Vf RS- John A. Marshall and Miss M Mary Marshall entertained at an informal tea Tuesday afternoon at their home on East South Temple street for a few of their close friend's on the eve of Miss Marshall's depar ture for France, where she will do war telephone work, having recently com pleted a course of instruction with the local telephone company.

As ill luck would have it, the talk drifted away from or dinary topics. "Do you like Omar Khayyam?" thoughtlessly asked the host, trying to make conversation. The elder brother plunged heroically into the breach. "Pretty well," he said, 'tout I prefer Chianti." Nothing more was said on this sub ject until the brothers were on their way home. "Bill," said the younger brother, breaking1 a painful silence, "why can't you leave things that you don't under stand to me? Omar Khayam ain't a wine, you chump; it's a cheese." New York Globe.
