Tattoo Artist I Was hunting around for a matt who could tell me all about tattooing, which, at the time, had become a so- ciety craze. An eminent social climb- er had a butterfly tattooed on her shoulder. An actress had a butterfly impressed upon her thigh. It was a new age of tattooing. Artists had en- tered the field. I found my pian. Ile had been in many parts of the world; he had tat- tooed many important people; he also had his secrets. I questioned him about the process of tattooing. Did it hurt ; Was it a long job? Could the marks be obliter- ated? Was there any danger of blood poisoning from the pigments Used? Were the needles sterilized ? Did the colors fade? Could he give me ileums of any eutinent people who had fallen for the craze ? Any peculiar requests in regard to designs? ' He was not helpful, Ile replied to all my questions as though 'he were a lawyer guarding the secrets of his clients, His unconcern puzzled me and I concluded that the only way to encourage hint to loosen histongue was to become one of his clients. An appointment was made, and next day he showed me a number of designs from which I could choose, I asked for somehing small and in- conspicuous, to be worn in an incon- spicuous position. The Japanese carp in three colors was chosen,. and my right forearm was bared for the operation. Carefully he drew the design in pencil, standingoff occasionally, in the manner if an artist, to view his handiwork. Then, after smearing the area of the pencilled design with an antiseptic, he produced various little bunches of needles. With the smallest of these he outlined the fish in indigo blue, punctiliously including scales here and there, traving the eye and the gills, and shading the tail, The sensation was akin to that of a handful of pinpricks. The bunching of the tattoo needles seemed to blunt the sharpness, and after the first few digs the pain diminished. 1t was while the digger was hard at work that I reopened my question- ing. What did he believe was the most important job be had ever und- ertaken? Vanity thawed him, "7 did the best work I ever dict," he said. "was when I went to Egypt with Princess ole Chimay." Resting a while lie became reminiscent for the first time. This was obviously his Opus 1, "You see, the Princess was one of the most beautiful women in the world. She was the great beauty of Paris - when Paris was. Paris, She was an American, and after her mar- riage to the Prince de Chimay be- came a very imminent member of French society." He sighed as he resumed the Jab- bing operations on my arm. The blues were done; he started on the green, which was to make my carp quite Oriental. Resting again prepar- atory to giving the red touches which were to complete the picture, he continued his story of Princess de Chimay. "Site was terribly nervous about cosmetics. Many women had suffered terrible damage by getting poisonous matte?,' from the cosmetics then in use. "I heard about her fears one day when I saw It announced that site was about to leave for Egypt for the season. It struck me that I might as well suggest to her an idea I'd had in my mind for some time. Her beau- ty was her great asset, and I felt she might listen to me if S could show her to preserve it without any risk whatever. "She consented to see me and I told her my proposition. It was that I should give her a permanent com- plexion, one that would not even need touching up. I showed her what I could do with natural colors, exhibit- ing tattoo designs I had made in pink, red, and blue on my own left forearm. She was very interested and wanted to know if I could produce the actual colors of her usual make-. up, =posed of rouge, lipstick, and eyebrow tints. I assured her I could. "Within two days she had made up her mind to go through with.my pro- position, When we sailed from Mar- seilles I was a member of her staff. Throughout the journey I studied her make-up in all lights and in all con- ditions, until I knew exactly what ef- fect I had to obtain. When we settled clown in Cairo we discussed the permanent .complexion. We debated which feature should be taken first—the cheeks, the lips, or the eyebrows. She was scared, and derided to put off the start Tor 0 cou- ple of days. "At the end of Dint time we made a beginning. nest. the eyebrows. A bnrbet• was brought in to shave the hairs which hail not been properly plucked out. I completed niy work before the day was out, but it meant that the Princess had to stay in her quarters for the next three clays. You se, when tattooiufl is done, the skin is very tender and a scab fortes. In a few days the scab scales off and the skin is left clean, with the tattooing beneath the new skin. "It was a week before Princess de Cilium, would let me touch her, cheeks. The area of color had to be carefully traced, exactly according to her usual make-up, and also it had to be shaded off 'gradually to the edge where it would, join her own skin color. It was a delicate job, It took. three days to get the color evenly balanced and the delicate shades pro- perly diminishing. "The Princess wasn't sure, after this ordeal, that she would have her lips done. Meantime she appeared in a. combination of permanent arched eyebrows, permanent chlor • on her cheeks, and applied lipstick. With a slight application of her own shade of powder, the tattooed parts gave her complexion a wonderful bloom, such as is not obtainable by powder on top of ordinary make-up, "At last, more titan a month later, she consented to undergo the big ordeal—permanent Cupid's bow lips: She winced a great deal at the start since the needles were more painful than usual. We finished the lip work in three days, and the poor Princess went about indoors for nearly a week with huge, swollen lips. "Within a week of the completion of the work the Prineess was out and about. No one outside her household knew anything about the tattooing. She swore us all to secrecy. Nobody could understand how she managed to look always the seine — fresh and unspoiled by make-up. "I got my money—and a little extra --and went back to Paris, afterwards to Mat York. 1 tell you, you can see a lot of scenery if you're in the tattoo businese." Four Tests When BuyingA Farm If you decide to buy a farm, the question is how are yod to know what kind of farm to buy, observes J. Coke, Economic Division, Domin- ion Department of Agriculture, in the Economic Annalist, There are many factors to be considered, he says, but there are four unfailing tests. The first is soil, There is no way of overcoming the defects of in- fertile soil without incurring exces- sive costs. The second test is crop yields which pare related to soil, clim- ate, typography, and farm practices. Consistently low yields mean low productivity, Third, there is location in relation to markets which will de- termine what sort of farming you may profitably engage in. The mar- kets are the basis of the net income you can get out of that farm. The fourth testis what kind of neigh- bours you will have and what they seem to have been able to get out of their land, You may prove to be a better or a worse fanner than the present operator. The neighbours tellable thtoe story of what you may be Mr, Coke gives the following ad- vice: "Before you buy a farm, ask yourself where does the money come front? A farm must produce an in- come. The income you can get out of it determines what you cat afford to pay for it. In reaching a decision, take past performance as year guide. Buying a farm is a long-time invest- ment, A farm is a business and a home. It emphasizes the permanency of fanning. That is something that some have not been concerned about recently and others unable to attain. It will always be impossible for seine because they will lag behind in the THURSDAY, AUGUST,17, 1941 r Ri Seaforth NOW SHOWING — THURS.
