AS WOMEN TALK
They INVENTORY
Why Appraise Your Friends
Wearing Apparel While You
Discuss Pink Teas2-Why Not
Look Her In the Eye Instead of
the Blouse3

HA7H1 do so many women nave
n" habit of looking over the cos
" tunes Of the friend with
whom they are talking?
Watch a couple of women in conversa-
tion. Too often one will be listening
to what her friend is saying, but mean-
while scanning her hat, her neckwear,
her blouse, perhaps even her shoes,
seeming to be mentally appraising the
cost and quality Of every article. Sell
dom do two women look each other in
the eyes. Isn't it queer? One never
sees a man critically examining the
collar, necktie and vest of another
man. Is it because women are more
interested in dress, more impressed by
appearance or merely because they
lack the power of concentration? Per.
haps this habit is a survival of some
distant age when women fought for
ornaments to attract the cave men. Or
perhaps it is feminine trait. Nature
has dressed the females of the species
in the bird and animal kingdoms more
sOberly than the males.
This may be to keep their little minds
off rivalry in dress and give them time
to devote to domestic matters. Simi.
larly the appraising glances which
Mrs. Blank may give your costume.
making you try hard to keep your
mind from worry over the pose of your
hat or the cleanness of your collar and
on the topic of conversation, may be
merely due to a trait in Mrs. Blank
that makes her anxious to "size up"
the possessions of her friends that she
may not be behind them in beauty. Do
not be impatient with Mrs. Blank.
This may have come down to her from
some stone age ancestress or up to her
from some forbear less human than
animal And, besides, you may be do
ing the same thing yourself.
This is an ugly habit, one that should
be discovered and broken. Often it is
due to mind that is thinking of other
things than the matter on hand. a
good listener does not have her eyes
rowing over the clothes and face of her
companion. and a good listener is usu-
ally woman of charm. But. although
this disagreeable habit may be due to
some insignificant reason. it is certain
to give an unfavorable impression.
Con entrate your mind on what is be,
ing said, and if you cannot look square
ly at the other woman avert your eyes
altogether Watch yourself, refuse to
stare at her neck or mouth or hat and
watch your daughter. If she shows
signs OF developing this trait stop it.
She may not ever develop into a bril-
liant cOnversationalist, but at least she
| can learn to listen well.

A HOME OF HER OWN.
Tips For the Business Woman Who
Runs a Home.

The business woman was tired of
living in boarding house, and the do
mestic instinct buried deep in every
woman's heart cried aloud for a place
of her own-a place where she could
express her individuality. Her friends
protested that it was impossible to at
tend to her work and home, but the
business woman was determined to
give it trial For awhile she strug-
gled valiantly, striving to evolve some
method whereby she could manage her
tiny apartment with a minimum Of la
Dor, and it finally resolved itself to a
process of elimination. She found
that If she eliminated half the furni-
ture and bric-a -brac great deal of the
work was also ruled out, besides lend
ing an air of dignity and space to the
room. Instead of using white curtains,
bureau scarfs. ETC., she used those of
dark ecru. These could be shaken out
to remove the dust and needed very
few visits to the laundry in comparl-
son with the white ones. Table covers
were eliminated entirely and doilies
were substituted. Her floors were bare
of every vestge of carpet, and few
small rugs were scattered here ana
there. Finally there was no profusion
of cut glass and silverware to clean
lust a few pieces of old blue china,
which blended harmoniously with the
scheme of the dining room.

The MAGIC LINES
OF LOST YOUTH
There Are Ways of Doing Your
Hair. Wearing Your Gown and
Fixing Your Ribbon That Add
to or Subtract Years From Your
Birthday.

I'D you ever stop to think, after
you have passed the flapper and
debutante stage, just why GER
tain frocks you wear make you
look older and other frocks make you
look younger than you really are? Ger
tain ways Of doing your hair, too, add
years to your life in appearance, and
others trick the beholder to imagine
you absurdly young. A pair of ear
rings, a necklace, n collar or a hat
might each one have this power of
adding years to or taking them from
your appearance. But did you ever
stop to think why?
A doctor who knows as much of psy-
chOlogy as he does of anatomy recently
said that the line of the chin and lower
jaw was the magic line OF youth 1t
doesn't so much matter what becomes
of your neck, according to this analysis.
so long as the chin itself does not sag.
An artist, also student of anatomy
and psychology, but perhaps from
different point of view, points out the
fact that the magic line of youth is that
curve under the eye, around the cheek
bone and down the side of the cheek.
And almost any woman with clothes
sense will tell you that the line of the
collar in dress has more to do with the
youth producing or youth detracting
effect of woman's getup than any
thing else.
From the point of view Of the Golf
feur there is nothing that so much

line of the hair on the forehead and
the nape of the neck.
Everybody knows that a woman's age
is clearly shown in her figure, and as
far as we can see woman at
much longer distance than we can see
her face or her hair clearly-we can
tell by her way of walking quite as
much as by the actual contour Of her
body about how many years she has
passed on the mundane plane.
Figures and carriages, however, can.
not be changed overnight, and so the
woman who wishes to acquire youth
fulness looks to the little accessories
of dress and hair arrangement to ef-
feet the magic change. Here are a
few rules that might be suggestive in
studying your particular problem of
youthfulness:
If your neck is youthful and If it Is
Of good proportion wear collars that
are low in front as long as fashion will
possibly permit. After the first days
of youth avoid the daytime dress that
is low at the back Of the neck.
If your neck is angular and wrin-
killed. or if your cheeks are thin and
your chin narrow the high collar is
quite sure to add yOuthfulness.
If the hair grows high at the nape
of the neck arrange the hair low
enough to cover it. Remember, too,
that arms that are thin or arms that
are too fat should be covered to be
most attractive. A single fold of geOr-
gette Grape works wonders either way.
An abundance Of hair always adds
many years to woman's appearance.
None but the very young or the very
old can afford to draw the hair back
from the ears and forehead unless she
is blessed with hair that grows close
around the forehead in a natural wild.

"Child With Child for Paralysis, Says
Rockefeller Institute.

New York, July ga great con-
tribution to the information about
infantile paralysis is made public here
today, was a statement by DIR. Simon
Flexner, of the Rockefeller institute,
that the disease Is spread primarily
by personal contact of child with
child.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals announced that
fear of the epidemic had caused
tremendous increase in calls upon it
to make way with cats and dogs. Since
the first of July, $4,000 cats and 5000
dogs have been put to death by the
society agents.
Men sent out by the society pick up
on average of 300 animals a day.
Last year the society killed during
the first twenty days of July only
$4,000 cats and dogs. Thomas F.

said, however, there was no evidence
that cats had ever been germ bearers.
