THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1930 PAGE NINE sl iy A MODERN CINDERELLA J&an met * rs, Brent promptly the | next afternoon, She thought that | never had she seen such an elegant figure as the woman was, in her slim black coat and her handsome silver | fox furs, There were cut steel buckles on her patent leather slippers and her purse hau a silver clasp. | She smiled at the dowdy girl who i seemed ill at ease and rather fright ened, : "Don't be scared," Rena said with an infectious laugh, "Nothing to be afraid of" Then she stopped an: | peered into Jean's face, | "I've always wanted to be a blonde, | but Madam Ina would never let me [ She's so fussy about type." And Jean | Jaughed at this gorgeous brunette ' creature and they were soon chats | ting like old friends as they stepped l into Rena Brent's limousine and | were whisked away toward Manhat- tan's most famous dispensary of beauty and youth, where the world's great and near-great women all come at some time or other, to make the most of the beauty with which they are endowed, Madam Ina was waiting with an eager smile. She relished the thought of the afternoon's work before her It meant, among other things, a huge fee for herself, And then, Madam | Ina was:a true artist, She shjoyed | making ¢ plain women blossom like | roses, Blondes were more difficult | than their dark sisters, but more ins | teresting when they were a suceess. | "Ah! Bonjour, madame," she cried a greeting as she opened the door for Rena and Jean, "This is the young woman, yes?" Madame, seemed pleased with ev- erything this afternoon, 'Come |" , The three women went into Ma dame's pelyate workshop. It was a small but Tovely room, done in gray like: the rest, with settees hand- somely upholstered in silver cloth and full of gayly colored silk cush- jogs. There were mirrors and per- fules, and soft-shaded lights all { about, "First, the elécteic bath!" Madame announced with g note of triumph in her voice. A maid was galled and Jean was led away to be put into a kind of lorified and "perfumed Turkish bath, The maid piled her plain black dress and her sensible nainsook underwear on a chair rather disdainfully, But Jean 'was too occupied with every. thing to notice or be hurt, Back in the:special workroom Ma- dame was expounding her theories of beauty, "Beauty is a matter of determina~ tion," Madame declared, "This bath, | as such, is not important. But the | girl who would be beautiful must | i 2 faith in herself. We must make | this young lady think that this bath | works wonders, You understand? | She must believe she is reborn into a beautiful woman, Then voila! She lh Rena Brent did, She pulled off her tiny hat, pushed back her silver fox furs on her shoulders, lighted a cig- arette and sat back fo await the miracle, : Madame pulled silken curtains atross the mirrors 'in the room, An. other maid brought in a chair in which Jean Was to recline while Ma- dame worked on her hair and her face, electric bath and spraying perfume, wrapped in a soft dressing gown. She sat in the chair and smiled back at Ry hair yas down, uffing a t r face, there was color tn cheeks, , orn Haro said Madame. "You sec?"

The girl was her sel "It can't be 11" she gasped and turned toward Mrs. Brent, But the expression of admiration, and per- haps a little of envy on Mrs, Brent's face told her just what a lovely thing she was, Jean turned toward Madame Ina, "Do I really look like that?" she asked pointing to the girl who pointe ed back at her, "Oui! And much better!" There were tears in the French woman's eyes. The girl was beautiful, Ma- dame exclaimed, "Now for clothes," Mrs. Brent's voice broke in. "There is a lot to do and not much time to do it in" They brought back Jean's plain dress, coat and hat and they were gut over the beautiful lingerie, She hesitated to put her silk-clad foot into her old slippers, but Mrs, Brent waved an impatient hand, Soon they d | were back in the limousine and there began an' orgy of shoe buying, Such lovely, comfortable, elegant shoes of which Jean had never dreamed! She did not mind her plain dress when her feet were so perfectly shod in black patent leather pumps with buckles of steel like Mrs, Brent's, "A beautiful girl," remarked the salesman when Jean stepped over to a. mirror to admire her slender foot in a satin slipper. Mrs. Brent assented, and ordered numerous pairs of shoes sent to her own address, "We'll take some of them in the car, please," Mrs, Brent said, "The white and the brown." Next came the dresses, Jean did not mind slipping off her old dress in the fitting room of the fashionable shop where two years before Loretta had bought the fatal squirfel coat, All that was long ago and far away. Jean was living in the present, She noted with a laugh the surprise of the saleswoman who had helped her take off her cheap dress which cove ered such beautiful underwear, The buying was fast and furious, There was only half an hour before clos~ ing time, "Fortunately a sixteen size is just right for her. She has such a lovely figure," the saleswoman said audibly, Jean blushed, just as she blushed when they admired her hair and her skin, "Let me sce," Mrs. Brent counted on her fingers, "There are four dresses for downtown, and threc af« ternoon dresses, and then those ev« ening things, and two coats--what about gloves!" and somebody went running to bring an' assortment of gloves for Rena's approval, Finally it was done. Mrs, Brent and Jean, together with some large boxes, were bundled into the Brent car and the two sank back exhausted, Mrs, Brent was wild with delight, Her enthusiasm along would have convinced Jean of her changed ape pearance. "Just wait until Larry meets you!" Mrs, Brent laughed. Promptly at 7, Decker, impeccable in his dinner coat, a gardenia in his buttonhoele, hurried into Mrs, Brent's drawing room, cager to get a report on the success of their "interesting experiment," as he insisted on calling the metamorphosis of Jean, Several guests stood about the room, drinking cocktails and chatting as Decker came in the door, "1 petused to wait for you, old man!" called a handsome chap from across the room as she waved a hall empty glass toward Decker: The young man was Scott Gerald, scion of a wealthy oll Boston family, who played with both the wealthy and the smartest sets in New York. A 'great admirer of the elder Decker, tonight he had little time for his friend, He turned back to his companion, whom he insisted on taking in to dinner, He appealed to Mrs, Brent about the matter just as Decker 'was an- nounced, De 's eyes rested on Gerald's companion, She was a lovely creature, dressed in a shimmering green evening frock, delicate chiffon shot with silver, that swirled about her like a spring breeze. The delicate shade brought out the reddish lights of her blonde hair, which clung closely to her finely shaped head like spun gold, Her skin was clear, her lips crimson. { Some rare orchids were pinned to her shoulder with a glittering clasp. As Decker noted her beauty he saw her deep blue «yes mocking him, danc- ing in delight as he stood still in amazement, He halted 'is progress toward Mrs, Brent, He turned ab. ruptly on his heel and went to the girl of the smile and the orchids, "I saw her fiest," warned Gerald, and he drew Jean's slim arm through his arm, "Besid.s, Rena says I may take her to dinner!" = Just then. dinner was announced and with a backward mocking glance Jean was led away toward the dinin room leaving Decker to follow wit Mrs. Brent. l , "Rena, you're a wonder!" Decker whispered into his hostess' car, Dinner was alway. an elaborate at' fair in Mrs, Brent's house. There were orchids in the center of the tas ble out of deference tu Jean, Jean | could only smile down the long table at Decker, glad of the approval she saw in his face; thrilled at the change she felt in herself. Gerald, on her right, kept up a rapid-fire conversa- tion which brought the color to her cheeks and made her confused about which fork to next, "I can't understand why I haven't scen such a beautiful creature be- fore" Gerald remarked, in a com- Jlaining voice. "Where have you en all my life?" "Right hers in New York. But you see, I'm Cinderella, That's why you couldn't see me, I've magic slippers on tonight I" : "They'd better last until after mid: $ She saw a girl with a dazzling skin, |- Ld LJ inder ella of the Skies Vera Brown night, because we're going dancing when this is over," and as Jean shook her head in remonstrance "Oh, yes, we are! Not a chance for you to get away! Vil kidnap you if neceswary!" "But 1 don't dance!" Jean sald gently, 4 "What! Cinderella' not dance at het own balll" Gerald laughed, "I'll t€ich her, and maybe there will be some way to keep those slippers," Jean said she would see what Mrs, Brent had to say about the matter. "Rena will like it, if she's asked to come along, . She likes night clubs and she'll be all for showing you the town, I'm going to call you Cine derella always, for you're my Prin- Jean decided he had had one too many cocktails and told him so, "It, 150't wine that has made me drunk," the irrepressible young man retorted, "Girls seem all alike to me == but you're different." Jean felt like a masquerader, But her lips were sealed. She had pro- mised Mrs, Brent that she would be known only as her special protege. "Don't tell them you're Decker's secretary. It will be more fun if none of them know, and less chance | of Larry gétting the truth before you have given him his lesson," Mrs, Brent insisted, After dinner Decker carried Jean off to the library for a moment's chat, "You're lovely, child! TI always knew it, but I didn't know how love ly. What are you going to do with all this beayty? Jean did mot answer, and Decker put both hands on her shoulders and looked down into her blue eyes, "Am I going to lose the best sec retary a man ever had?" he asked, Jean laughed and patted his arm, "I'm going to be a better secretary than ever," she replied, But you've made me so happy. It is nice to look=~well, presentable,' and she blushed becomingly, Then Gerald found them and in- formed Jean that Mrs, DBreat had agreed to go off with them to the Colony for dancing and suppers "Wear your silver wrap lined with ermine," Mrs. Brent told Jean when they were in her boudoir, "And come back here tonight and go to work from here, 1 want you to wear a new dress to the office and give them a shock. Felice can get you off in the morning, Their gay little party dropped Mr. Decker off at his club, "I've had all I can stand for one evening," he said into Jean's ear as he got out. They arrived at the Colony Club along with the after-theatre crowds, but because Gerald was well known there he had no trouble at all in get- ting the best table in the place for Mrs, Brent's party. "Everybody in the world seéms to be 'here tonight," the young host said in satisfaction as they were seat- ed. He had noted with pride that every man in their vicinity was look ing at Jeau, who, unconscious of theiresgrutiny, was thoroughly enjoy- ing her first introduction to a sup. per club, As she slipped off her er- mine wraps his cyes looked their ad- miration, "Here comes Larry Decker on the run: might have known we couldn't be here two minutes with a new and beautiful girl without him doing a marathon right over here fo our ta- ble," remarked the young man who sat beside Rena Brent, Rena leaned across the table and put her hand warningly on Jean's arm, The girl's color rose. "Remember, Jean's name is Cine detella just for tonight," Gerald said banteringly. Let's keep young Dek. er guessing, He'll be wild to get your Hpi A number, child!" and the young man laughed, and touched Jean's. slim hand. "Remember, 1 discovered you." Introductions were made above, the strains ofthe orchestra and conver. sation, so' Larry made no effort to get's Jean's name, He took a chair as near as possible to her. "Aren't you people dancing, and don't I get a'chance to have just one little dance with this Ic ely young person?" Larry demanded, Gerald denied that privilege for the present and led Jean out to the floor himself, "Come, Cinderella, don't be afraid at your own ball" he whispered into her ear as he slipped his arm about her slim waist and drew her close, Somehow Jean managed to get the swing of the music and th dance went off not badly, Had Jean step. ed on Gerald's toes he would have orgiven her readily = she looked #0 radiant, As the music stopped somebody hailed Gerald, "Come over here, Cinderella, here's one. of 'buddies' I flew back m from California with hin two weeks) ago. He's a great chap." A handsome young man was bend. ing aver Jean's hand, "Meet Miss Cinderella at her first ball" said Gerald with a laugh, As Jean raised her shining head she found her startled blue . eyes looking into those of Jimmie Reins. ford for the first timg since that morning, long ago, when she left Hillsdale, To Be Continued Tomorrow SOLINA PERSONALS Solina, April 7.~Mr, John XKivell and Miss Mary Ho- garth are under the doctor's care suffering from grippe, while Miss Phoebe Shortridge is ill with an attack of appendicitis, Miss Nora Werry spent a day with Mp, M, A, James, Howman- ville while at her sister's, Mrs. A.

Ford car, it 1s particularly interesting to note the relation between value and price, The low first cost is a point to keepin mind at all times because it means a con. siderable saving to you in the purchase of Of even greater importance, however, is the reason for this low price and the manner in which it has been achieved without sacri fice of quality or performance, Every purchaser shares the benefits of the Ford policy of large production at low cost == of 'selling at a small margin of profit -- + of constantly giving greater and greater value through the vast Canadian organization that * has been built up for the making, selling and servicing of this car. A new degree of excellence has been brought within reach of all the people through the development of new manufac. turing machines and the discovery and work. ing out of new manufacturing methods, Evidence of this is found in the extremely, close limits of measurement maintained in. the manufacture of vital parts, Some of VALUE FAR HAMPTON Hampton, April ~The First Vice-President, Isabel Campbell, ocoupled the chair on Friday night, at the Young JVYecople's League meeting, The President, being av- sent, the Vice-President in charge conducted the business part of the meeting, which followed the open.
