I am not telling you this to brag — just to give you a hint. When people say, "How do you do it?" I retort the only thing retortable, "Cooperation is what counts in any association — whether the contact be business, professional, social or domestic. Look at the other fellow's problems, be interested, sympathetic, and human ! I don't claim to be more sweet or tolerant than anybody else. I am sure the other person is as well meaning as I try to be. But when I hear so many woofs and yowls among all sorts of people about their domestic service. I pause and wonder where the blame can lie. I have had only two maids in my long career — and I don't mean one coming and one going, either. The first one died. Mamie has been with me since. When I have had an apartment or house she has been in it. When I've been staying at a hotel, she has sneaked in and massaged me, pressed my gowns or been the chink-filler which is entirely overlooked these days as the noblest of professions. The bond between Mamie and me is simple. Her problems and interests are mine and mine are hers. What could be easier? I value Mamie's love and loyalty because nobody knows as I do how important backgrounds are in our lives. An indifferent, surly, careless servant can wreck one's mood for the day without realizing it. The fault may originally have been the employer's who was indifferent to some ache or sorrow previously suffered by the employee. A bit of sympathy at the right moment often forms a bond that nothing can break. I started out to say a word or two on steak-tails and seem to have begun a novel on the servant problem. Well, food isn't really a digression because without it you can't work and without work you can't live. (In the next, and final installment of her own story, in the June issue of SCREENLAND, Marie Dressier gives yon an intimate insight into a screen actress' life — from the time she gets up in the morning, through the strenuous studio day, until she goes to bed at night, at nine o'clock! Human, amusing, and told in the whimsical Dressier style — don't miss it. The Truth About Cosmetics Continued from page 1 02 every last one of them — all of the Seventeen items. Did I have a time ! There was Seventeen face powder, dusting powder, brilliantine. Seventeen perfume, toilet water, talcum and compacts. The only one I've had time to try out as yet is the Seventeen face powder, as that is quite new. I am a blondish person and I found it — in a shade called Champagne — particularly nice. The claim is that there are two tones in the powder that give it more life than the average powder in order to make it combine naturally with the skin. I wouldn't know about that, but I do know it has a flattering tendency — and what more could any girl ask? The Seventeen perfume you probably know. It is a "sweet" perfume, what I call after my fashion, a blonde one, suggesting, somehow spring and pastel colors, laughter and sunshine. It is one of those perfumes that go beautifully on the skin, which, to me, is always the truest test of any scent. It lasts, too. And speaking of perfume reminds me of the ultimate refinement in that line^perfumed soap flakes. You can wash your hankies and scent them, all in one gesture. Ain't that sump'n, as our friend Andy says ? The soap itself is excellent and won't harm your finest silks and the perfume is manufactured in France. This seems to me like one of those nice, original gift things. It might even make a different kind of bridge prize. Why girls at afternoon bridge don't give themselves more prizes of beauty, I don't know. I think it's a grand idea and personally, I'm tired of getting double decks of cards and such like. The price is only fifty cents a bottle— a large bottle — and it comes in Jasmin. Lilac, Chypre. Lavendar, Lily of the Valley and Sweet Pea fragrances. In the soap line, our old English friend, Yardley, enters with a new shampoo, called Lavendar Shampoo and Rinse. It costs only a quarter and each package contains two envelopes. The one contains the lavendar scented soap flakes. The other little crystals to be used as a rinse. Nice, if you like it. Personally, I find it easier to use liquid shampoos, but the price is so moderate you can certainly afford to experiment and find out about it for yourself. I've had one amazing experience this month — probably the most amazing ex perience any person working in the beautv trade could have. A charming girl called at my office one afternoon. She said she had a new beauty discovery. Having heard that story before I remained calm while she asked me if she could please demonstrate it to me. Then she set to work and when she finished I was about ready to burst forth into tears. For she changed herself in just a few moments from a beautiful girl to one whose face was badly disfigured with one of those hopeless birthmarks. And then she did some work and transformed herself once more back into the beauty. This amazing young woman, driven bv sheer necessity, has invented a kind of heavy cream that can be rubbed into the skin and so cover any birthmark or scar so that it can not be seen bv even the most observant eye. I give you my word that she was sitting directly in the sunlight in my office. And I also guarantee you that I am generally regarded as a most observant person. And I would never have known, if that girl hadn't revealed it to me, that she didn't have the loveliest, most unspotted skin. The cream is made of the purest products and is completely harmless. It comes in a full range of colors, to match all skin tones, and make-up may be put over it with the greatest ease. Just think what this means to hundreds of hopeless men and women. In this girl's case, she found it impossible to secure a worthwhile position. She was a colleare graduate and very intelligent. She had youth and energy. But that facial accident, happening before she was born, was enough to ruin her whole life. I regard her as a very genuine heroine and a true savior of many lives, as well as an extraordinarily brainy young thing for having studied chemistry to benefit herself and mankind. Her name is Miss Lydia O'Leary. Her address is 11 West 42nd Street, New York. She will be glad to give you a personal demonstration in how to use her products, if you can call upon her, or will advise you by mail. The creams are very inexpensive — two dollars the jar — and they have the endorsement of physicians. And isn't her story a marvelous one? Life is sometimes better than the movies.
