Of the war there was not a single air

but managed to land safely near Lon

sanity for weeks, so horrible was the
experience.
Roughly, there were three chief
weapons for dealing with Hun air
raiders; the aerial barrage, aided by
searchllghts, fast, fighting scout planes
that attacked the invaders, and aerial
aprons. The Germans, 1t may be noted,
were never able to perfect any scheme

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP

We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very best
advantage by washing it with can
throX. 1t makes a very simple, in
expensive shampoo, which cleanses
the hair and scalp, thoroughly of
all the dandruff, dirt and excess
oil, leaving a wonderfully clean,
wholesome feeling. After it's use,
you will find that the hair dries
quickly and evenly, is never streak
ed in appearance and is always
bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in
fact, that it looks more abundant
than it is, and so soft that arranging
1T becomes a pleasure. Just use u
teaspoonful of canthrox, which you
can get from any good druggist,
dissolve it in a cup of hot water
this makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough SO 1t is easy to ap-
ply it to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head.

preston. We are tired of dull
clothes that remind us of Winter.
We need the spur of fresh apparel,
new garments to stimulate new
thought and new ideas.
Yet we are not so sure as is Ma
ture in her effects. Our efforts do
not always create the illusion of
beauty and lend enchantment, and
now, more than at any other sea-
son of the year, we are frequently
ineffective when we study hardest
for appropriate effects.
l think it is because we do not
sufficiently consider our clothes in re-
lation to ourselves and as an eX-
preston of our own individuality.
That was the fault the man COM
planned of in the tutor.
We have so much offered to us
in the department stores and shops
that often we buy what is attractive
without considering it's suitability to
ourselves, or else we become bewild-
cred by the multiplicity of offerings
and go astray.
l have had letters from several
correspondents on this subject. One
girl wrote me that she spent a great
zeal OF money on ner clothes, more
than she could afford; yet she never
had just the right thing to wear,
never looked what she called we'll
dressed. While another girl she knew
was always well dressed, always had
the proper thing for the occasions,
and on half the money.
Perhaps my correspondents troub-
lie is just that haphazard buying most
of us are led into by what we see
in the shops-a sort of lack of con-
sideration of self, an inability to
visualize ones self in the garments
we buy.
The best dressed woman l ever
knew spent comparatively little
money on her clothes, but a tre-
mendous lot of thought.
She knew exactly what she could
wear. Nor was this the result oil

LDe's Problems
Are Discussed

I listened to the complaints of a
man regarding woman's apparel.
He said his daughter wanted to
take a special course of some kind
and he sought a tutor for her. A
woman highly recommended called
on him at his request. He looked
her over and decided then and there
that she would not do-recommen-
dations to the contrary.
She had bobbed her hair until it
hung about her ears. She wore heel
less shoes. Her coat had the effect
of mans overcoat, and did not
disdain spots which would have
yielded easily to the cleaners art.
Her hat was a slouch thing that no
man but a tramp would have put
on his head.
The women of my family have
always been spotlessly neat" he re-
marked. especially concerning those
pretty things women wear about the
neck and wrists; and l couldn't ask
my daughter TO respect the mental
accomplishments of one so slovenly.
Ones clothes are just as much an
indication of ones mental attitude
as any other attribute. They are the
outward expression of an inner sense
of fitness, an inner love of order, an
inner appreciation of harmony with
ones surroundings. So / decided
that although this highly recon-
mended lady might fit in somewhere
else, it would not be in my house
hold"
That was one instance at least
where appearance counted. The ap-
plicant for this position failed in
making the proper impression Her
clothes did not fit her calling; she
was a teacher. therefore she ought
to teach in every expression-in her
appearance as well as in her oral
instruction.
And, to make it worse, her dow
diness was emphasized by the fact
that just now Spring is getting out
all her lovely leaf costumes and ar
ranging her most becoming color
effects; so that, instinctively respond
ing to her mood, we seek similar ex-

she bought would suit her. She
never bought dress or even a hand
kerchief without knowing just how
and when it was to be worn.
She selected first, early in the
season, what she calls the essen
tails" These she made her foun-
dation of her wardrobe and added
to them from time to time as her
demands and social needs required.
If she were wearing blue, then
everything she purchased toned in
or harmonized with that; and the
same if it were brown or gray or
even black. Many changes then
were made simply, and things har-
monized as they never would have
If she had bought a haphazard Sc
lection. If she felt the need for
more color she found it in afternoon
or evening dresses.
Her Essentials were shoes,
gloves, a smart hat-suitable for
every occasion but full dress-and
a street suit; then blouses and pretty
neckwear, and after those accessor-
les other frocks and gowns to meet
social requirements.
But one may go far with just
that one well-tailored suit; for my
well-dressed woman told me that
once, when she had been detained
two weeks while travelling and
obliged to wait without her trunks,
her one tailored suit served her
every demand, supplemented as it
was by a number of blouses which
