G WIS MS i;v I 81 SUCCESSFUL 'AD' WRITER TELLS M'LISS OF WOMAN'S BIG FIELD New Jersey Man's New Year Resolution Anent Cosmetics Likely to Pique Many of the Fair Sex SOMEBODY hns mild that tho reason many women ilo not achieve brilliant spectacular success In the litnlnesa wot Id Ii because In the main lliey ruo afraid to take tho big risks, or so after the slim but glittering chances that men have been wont to stake their "nil" on In tho liopo of rich rewards, JIIss M. l. Dlehl, one of the lle wires In the advertising flclu In Philadel phia, and president of tho Women Writers' club besides, Is one woman who looked abend, saw n beckoning opportunity shut her eyes to possible catas trophe nnd leaped. She landed both feet on tho ground and colors living. Over tho tea cups nt luncheon jesterdny, Slls Dlehl told me how eight years ago, when wo didn't know so much about advertising ns wo think wo do now, nnd when It was a business almost exclusively man's, she felt the woman's touch was needed and determined, ns far as she was concerned, to supply It. "I was teaching chool then," she said, "In Allentown. I was about to be rewarded for my cffoits with a princlpalship. t suppose I'd gono almost as high ns a woman teacher can go, when t found this advertising business calling me. "I didn't know whether I was wrecking my fututo or not, but 1 decided to' glvo up my teaching and take tip advertising. 4o I went to the Intgest depntt- ' ment store In Allentown, usked them to put mi in their advertising department. It nover occurred to wo to ask for a snlarv. All t wanted was to bo given the opportunity to learn the business and all Its ramifications from the ground up. "Imagine my surprise when t was presented with an envelope nt tho otiil nt tUn flifit wnol: In teiilnh lhprp wcrr rlcht liprfecllv ennd doltnt'S. M'VVO ...... years utter mat 1 leu mat i Knew cnougu nooui me. game to come 10 z-iuutucu phla. I supposo thcro aro not moro thnn 15 women engaged In department slofe advertising here today, so you see tho Held Is not yet crowded." When you consider thnt, as I remarked In this column several days ngu. moro than 30 per cent, of tho patrons of largo department stores nro women nnd that tho appeals, therefore, which the "ads." make nro aimed at thesa women, It Is not hard to understand why a woman is particularly lilted to pre Bent tho merits of tho mcrchnndlso they como to purchase. And what man, bo ho over so clever or over so effeminate, would be fully capablo of doing justlco to French llngcrlo or the latest conceit in corsets? The Color That Comes and (Joes Tho New Year's resolution offered to his sex by a New Jersey man, that they one and all "boycott the powdered" and pay serious attention to those women only whoso lips, cheeks, eyebrows and hair bear nature's Indisputable stamp, Is likely to talso (In addition to a howl from those women who bellevo In the necessity of those llrst aids) tho time-worn question: I'or whom does a woman "fix tip?" Tor tho men? Kor the women? Or for her personal satis faction? Thpi answers to these questions bo what they may, the gentleman Is not likely to cnlianco his popularity by tho resolution ho has offered, for It is a nalvo anfl unpretentious) woman. Indeed, who docs not hnve on her dtesslng tablo at least one of the many aids with which tho beauty doctors have glutted tho market. I am not drawing tlicso conclusions from my own observations alone, for I spent somo minutes today in serious converse with the blonde goddess who di rects tho fortunes of one of tho busiest beauty counters In the city. "Say," she said to me, confidently, "that's a poor simp who's resolving to 'con' tho 'debs' and chickens who are addicted to the whitewash and the pink stuff. I'll bet his own wifo's rosy cheeks como out of a Jar like this. And any way, we'ro selling mote 'muke-up' every year. Not only to tho flashy d.imes. "lther. Tho day's gono by when a shiny noo Is looked upon as a password to tho higher life." Piquant words, these, which a stroll along Chestnut street, or any other American thoroughfare whero women throng, but emphasizes tho truth of. Women who live years ngo would have blushed tho blush of shatno at tho thought of simulating tho pink glow of health no longer go pale. LIko tho lady In Sheridan's "School for Scandal." their color comes nnd goes "comes on In tho morning and goes off at night." The Fatal "Gift or Gab" "Talked to death." was tho comment of a physician In a Chicago hospital when ho heard tbat 21 of tho patients thcro had died on Christmas. How few people have mabteicd tho art of hospital visiting! How many liavo boon, it not literally "talked to death," like the Chicago 21, at least talked Into a state of utter exhaustion and positive illness! A trained nurse of many years' experience told mo the other day that It is an Iron-clad rulo of hers never to leave a patient In tho hands of visitors, if sho. can help It. "It In the common trait of human nature, I've- found, to expatlato on one's own ailments. Well women who como to seo ill women. Instead of being cheer ful and optimistic. Invariably hark back to tho time when they too almost died. They recount their symptoms with gusto and no details aro too harrowing to be left untold. If I had my way, visitors would nover be permitted, except to patients in tho last stages of convalescence." Pretty drastic that, but not without Its grain of common sense. Impressive Assets Many a woman who boasts of her lord and master's Intellectuality to the neighbors knows In her heart that It consists chiefly in a pair of tortolse rlmmcd spectacles nnd a bored air. Skirts Are Short This "Winter "Flesh-colored hosiery shows which way tho wind blows," comments the street-corner observer, "now that black stockings are said to be cheaply dyed." Jl'MSS.
