EVERYTHING GOOD IN

Albert M. Boozer,
There is a certain lady who is
very strongly to the art of
up. What she does exactly is a
mystery to all but herself and her
maid, but the effect is precisely as if
she had a thick coat of enamel or
lacquer all over her face. A good
deal of discussion has ensued as to
whether this is renewed every day
after ablutions. On this point a dear
friend of hers observed: "Of course
not. The expense would be enormous.
