ious TO The hair -pue curriers' or curling
IRONS. Would you also tell me good
method for keeping The curl in my hair
during dcmp peather2
INQUIRER. Idaho.
A curling iron is more injurious to
use on your hair than any other method
of curling it. There are curriers' on
the market now that are made Of some
sort Of fabric, which are excellent for
doing the hair up on. However, if you
do not care to get these. good sub
stitute is to use either strips of cloth, or.
better seill, tissue paper. and roll the
hair under on these strips. To keep
the hair IN curl. about the only thing to
do is to secure a good curling fluid.
Both this fluid and the curriers' above
mentioned may be had in the shops
here if you are unable to secure them
in your local shops. Should you wish
to know where to send for them, write
me again and ! will gladly give you
this information. hope this letter will
be of help to you. Write again.

should you take an introduction 10 q

Itwould all depend on circumstances
as to whether you should invite your
friend IN after the theater or party.
If the hour is not late It would be
perfectly proper TO ask him in while
your family is still up. If the greater
part Of the evening has been spent at
dance or entertainment, he would not.
of course. accept an invitation to go in.
Young girls do not usually offer their
hand upon receiving an introduction.

her white sails tight with the weight Of the

That opinion has changed now.
Jones had proved congenial companion on
motor trips and around the front porch of an
evening. He was cheerful; easy TO please and
full of fun. All his acquaintance spoke Of
him as kindly chap-a little too gentle. per-
haps, and too easily imposed upon, but with
a temper that never was ruffled, no matter
what happened.
Despite my eagerness to sit in the stern of
his little craft and skim over the waves,
demurred at first at accepting the invitation.
! knew nothing about boats, and was a little
afraid lest my ignorance would make me an
inconvenient passenger.
But Jones, in his gently persistent way,
assured me that this would be all right.
