Football for the Vermont colleges,
this year, starts off with the death
of Halfback Werner S. Belyea of
Norwich university who's back was
broken Wednesday in the game be-
tween Norwich and Holy Cross at.
Worcester. People should not jump
to the conclusion that all football
playing ought to be stopped because
one young man is killed Fatalities
result occasionally in all things, On
ly few days ago in Worcester
where this accident occurred, man
was choked to death eating tough
beelsteak and still LOIS of people
live and thrive on tough meat. The
lesson as applied to football should
be one Of caution rather than one
of prohibition. Young men in the
heat of conflict will not be careful
and a light team like that of Nor.
wich against team such as Holy
Cross is endangered in a scrimmage
or in mass plays of any kind. The
game of football has been greatly
improved in recent years both in
interest and safety by rules which
provide for more open play and fur

Were Always Late TO Breakfast

You know that variety Of guest and SO
do l! A young couple who visited me once
not long after their marriage illustrated
their type about as well S any other visitors
who have favored me with their society
and there have been many They were in
experienced in Visiting. as 1 soon perceived: !:
they were very much in love and they
thought OF nothing beside themselves and
things that concerned them closely. Con-
sideratton for the convenience OF the host
and hostess was apparently left out Of
their makeup.
most was their unpunctuality at breakfast
/ may be mistaken, but ! have a strong
prejudice in favor of the family all getting
to the breakfast table within a reasonable
length of time after the meal is announced.
Promptness means an unspoiled repast- the
leisure TO eat comfortably. the absence OF
gulpinS and consequent indigestion which
are unavoidable for train n-catchers and
school-goers who are late at breakfast.
Although my guests were aware OF my
opinions on this matter they were never on
time once during the fortnight they spent
under our roof In vain did ask them at
bedtime the hour at which they would be
ready for breakfast and f.: II to suit
their desires. even taking the trouble to
have prepared and served two meals-one
for those who had appointments 10 keep.
and the other for our luxurious visitors.

The Guest NTH Delicate Appetite.

Other tribulations have been mine from
guests. The friend who stays on indefi-
nitely after the time for which she was
asked has come and gone: the one who
makes request for special attentions in
the line OF entertainment and makes you
feel uncomfortable II your time and in
come do not permit You to accord them:
the one OF delicate or cap-icious appetite
who refuses the food set before her or who
has to be refreshed between meals OF At
bedtime; the one who must have a partiou-
lar kind of fruit or cereal or beverage and
can take no other: all these and many
others are on my list Of curios and dare
say Of yours, too
This Is not intended to be q recapItula-
ton Of the annoyances 1 have suffered at
the hands Of the sotourners within my
gates. but merely as a suggestion Of some
things you should avoid and some other
things you should do when you are q v1s-
itor
Don't think I am riding a hobby when
/ acoeu1uate the matter Of being ready In
time for meals In some households and
under some clrcumstanc promptness or
the reverse may make no difference. 1 am
happy enough TO be an occasional guest at
a house where go when / am tired out

Not for a minute. They offered gay and

Unless you are rather exceptional this

Wishes to Dye Her Hair.

Il am compelled to earn my living.
and naturally do not wish my hair to turn
gray. I wonder II some OF your readers
have had experience along the line Of Gye-
ing, and. IL so. II they.would be kind enough
to recommend something they know to be
reliable 1 would like to have my hair
dyed. but I want to be sure that am
going to some one thoroughly to be relied
upon I would be much obliged to you
for any information concerning this mat
ter. You have helped so many that feel
you can do something for me- and your
column is 50 widely read that it seems a.
though every one could be helped IN some
way ASP"
As a rule. do not print such requests as
these, for I have nothing to do with the
care Of the hair or complexion. and cannot
recommend either workers in these lines or
proprietary articles. no matter how great
their excellence. But the appeal Of q work
ing woman touches me always, and 20
feel inclined to say a word In reply.
In The first place, then. 7 have been told
that il any one whose hair is becoming
reHaturely gray will use the white Of
egg a. a shampoo. wetting the hair first
appH the white OF ess to It instead Of soap.
and after It has been well rubbed inrins.ne
the hair with clear water. the turning gray
process will be checked. repeat this mere
ly because it is a simple and harmless rem
edy. but know nothing of its value and Co
not in6orse 1t as a sure means Of prevent
Ing the change OF color in the hair.
So much for that I do want. however,
to say . word relative to dyeing the hair.
Even although 7 appreciate the possibility
Of gray hair serving In some lines Of en-
ployment a. a drawback to the would-oe
worker. I advise strongly against begin
ming the business Of dyeing It. Putting
aside sny ethical side Of II. the work OF dye
ing once begun. must be kept up. and IL an
unmiigated nuisance. have friends who
have been in bondage to the practice foe
many years. Once begun It must be con.
tinued- and becomes more and more Of
bother all the time. could write many
tales Of the untoward accidents attending
hair dyeins-one woman's hair actually
turned q greenish bronze from the appli-
cation OF q dye she had heretofore used
with entire success-and all OF them would
point to the same conclusion. that when
you begin dyeing or coloring your hair you
open the door to all kinds Of worries and
annoyances and make life unnecessarily
dimcult. My advice would be to keep your
self UP in every way you can by careful
grooming. well arranged hair. and well
hitting clothes: to be as neat as possible.
and compensate by the crisp freshness Of
your general appearance for the silver
threads that may begin to come.
