given by education. have advanced
close to that point where if in the
natural process of evolution they do
not get that share of wealth which is
their proper due-well, they will get
it by revolution. 1t is time that those
with more wealth than they can ever
use should look about and see how
they can best distribute the surplus SO

Though Berger is the leading apos-

ical examination of American national
traits and customs, which she en-
bodied to some extent in her new
novel, THE Mistress of Shenstone, -
published this winter
The new novel embraces some of
the characters familiar to readers of
E"The Rosary" and they are made to
comment favorably on the United
States. For instance, Myra Ingleby,
writing the Hon. Jane Dalmain. has
this to say apropos of an American
woman visiting an inn at which she is
sojourning:
''Alas, how ignorant of our own
standard literature we are apt to feel
when we talk with Americans and
find it completely a part of their
everyday life."

Facts About Woman "GIory"

When Il woman's hair is In healthy
condition, IL is supposed to grow
about eight inches a year. and the life
OF single hair is from two TO six
years. Thus old hair Is constantly
being replaced by new. and IL Is OBJ
vious that there is some falling OF the
hair every day.
Yet many women frequently fail TO
note that this natural change Is going
on constantly; and because the hair
comes out with brush and comb. they
complain Of falling hair" and inter
change views on the subject OF tonics
Most scalps have a certain hair
habit; they develop fixed amount
OF hair annually. The amount Is de-
termined by conditions OF health. and
probably by inherited tendencies
Thus one woman will have an enor-
nous amount of hair from youth TO
age. while another lives in fear OF

thinned out regularly; the second

When by artificial means, the hair
