u Charm?" Said Fifi Dorsay, rolling a big French "r" and two still bigger gray-green eyes. "My charm? I laugh. Always I laugh at everything, even the things that disappoint me. Always I laugh when things go wrong, when little things almost make me angry, when I'm tired. I must laugh, you see, even when I do not feel all gay inside, because it keeps me sparkling." Sparkling. When Fifi's bowed, full mouth puckered up to pronounce that word whole chapters were spoken about charm. You can see it in every physical aspect of the vivacious little French Canuck girl who determined to get somewhere in pictures and did! Sparkle. Laughter. A gay, brave outlook on life. These are the things that have combined with time to make the personality and the entire physique of Fifi Dorsay what it is today, When next you see her, look well. Take full note of her wide open eyes, her little-girl look when she talks, the gracious curve of her smile, the frank, upward-and-outward sweep of her whole face. Here's a girl who bubbles. And men love it! "The things you think," Fifi went on, "oh, they do so actually shape your features. I can't be grumpy. If I've got to be grumpy I'm going to go to sleep and be a bore to only Fifi. If I'm grumpy when I'm wide awake I'll grow that way. And I must stay young and happy for my work and for Maurice." I knew I wouldn't have to mention Maurice Hill. You couldn't be around Fifi for five minutes without the subject just naturally turning to the handsome, wealthy young medico who succeeded in four months at changing Fifi's preference from orchids to orange blossoms. Other men had tried for years. But as Fifi explained, "I never married before just because I didn't, I couldn't fall in love until I met Maurice. We are so happy now I feel like a new person."
