High Helmet Makes Big Change
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

There are pessimists abroad In the
land who insist that the far-famed
hennin will be revived. Why: Be
ctuse the moyen age is ruling clothes
along with its rival, the orient, and
milliners with one sweep of their auto
cratic hands have pushed the broad
brimmed hat into the shadows.
Those who can and those who can't
are wearing the high helmet hlched
from those benighted centuries when
women wore a headdresS so high that
there was a papal bull issued against
it. Rome had no influence on wom-
ems fashions. however. for pretty
ladies' were then. as now. rebelliouS.
insurgent and more obstinate than most
men believed. They continued to wear
the hennin. even though they were
not permitted to enter the church with
these high hats their heads.
This season the moyen age again
has us in its grip. We sprinkle
Cochin China finery over many of our
garments, but the dressmakerS are
sternly leading us by the hand to the
the eleventh and fifteenth centuries.
The introduction of the high hat came
as blow to women who realizf they
look their worst in it: they liked what
they were wearing; a sweeping picture

tired eyes. to offset a short or long

pose Is to sit upon the head like an
overturned fiowerpot, to eclipse the hair

The Egg as Beautiier.

Even when eggs are expensive they

foods for the scalp; the white Is

Is this chemical action which makes
the hair wash so much more easily as
soon as you begin to use soap and water.
Some people advocate mixing a
beaten egg with an ounce Of water.
Personally, think it Is much better

might need two eggs. but as 1t Is only

But If Peter had overlooked this

or both would discover that place
and lie in wait for them. SO they had
chosen with the greatest Of care the
spot where those logs were to be
dragged across the dam. They meant
to take no chances. They chose a.
place almost in the middle OF the
dam and where the water in the pond
was deepest.
When they reached this point they
never scrambled out hastily or heed

for any suspicious sounds. and tested

they worked they never for an in
