A PLEA FOR THE WOMAN
WHOSE HAIR IS A SIGHT
Unless She Just WMy Lets Stragge, She Needs Your P',

" neatly yelled girl. ''look at that
woman's hair, all stringing out around
her face! l don't see any excuse for
that kind Of thing in these days Of hair
nets and veils."
The woman she was talking about
was quite worthy Of all her remarks.
She was the sensible" type, wear
ing sport suit, tailored shirtwaist
and a severely simple hat.
1t was all becoming-she was that
kind of woman who would have looked
out of place in the trinity fitting, fur
trimmed suit that the girl with the
veil had on.
But her hair!
THERE was just the loosest end OF

A loop of exhausted hair hung down
over one eye, behind the edge Of her
glasses.
And on each side was straight,
straggly lock, too long to be attractive,
and too short to be held in with hair
pins.
It was sorry sight. there Is no
doubt about that, and 1t was not the
only one upon the street. ,.,
For an age of trig outlines, helpful
hairnets and comfortable wells, there
are entirely too many of these eyesores
upon the streets.
They make you want to carry a brush
and a net about with you il case you
meet any of them-is there anything
more nerve -racking than to sit IN
church or the theatre behind woman
whose "back hair" falls in short
spreading ends all over her collar!
And how they do make you appreciate
the woman whose hair is drawn up
closely into graceful knot, whose snort
ends are enhancing curls, or snappy
| little quirks.

Prepare the scallions and soak them
in cold water. Drain and wrap in wax

Celery, Cheese and Nut Salad
Use either cottage cheese or regular

Little mayonnaisc and finely chopped
nuts. Fill the groove of the celery with
the mixture. and then dust with paprika
and cut in inch pieces. Paper cups are
ideal for carrying salads, ETC., in the

For the cheese and nut sandwiches put
the cheese and nuts and scallions
through the food chopper. and then use
whole wheat bread and cut in triangu-

Raisin Sandwiches
Spread whole wheat bread with but

and some finely chopped nuts. Cut,

onions fine. Add finely shredded let

cups. Lettuce and olive sandwiches are
made from:
Finely shredded lettuce,

Use between either whole wheat, white
