"Quite dream" admitted Clara
Field. "You must have a marvel
Gus dressmaker to turn out finish
like that"
Charlotte smiled, not daring to
reveal the name Of the shop where
she had purchased the gown.
They chatted for a few mo-
ments, several women joining in
the admiration of the various de-
tails, when suddenly the curtains
parted and there stood before them
the one woman whom Charlotte
disliked immensely - Gertrude
Pearson, clustering, expecting at
tention and admiration at every
turn, selfish with her own compli-
ments, yet desirous of being con-
stantly queened - came toward
them.
"Hello, girls" she greeted, kiss
ing several of the women effu-
sively.
She rather ignored Charlotte,
herself an adnliring glance in the
mirror as the maid came forward
to remove her wrap.
Charlotte held her breath. A
wave of resentment, a terrible
sense of disappointment suffused
her as the petite colored maid drew
the wrap from Mrs. Pearson's
shoulders. For there, staring at
her in agonizing reality was a du-
plicate of her own frock. Char
lotte was first to recognize it. The
picture she had presented had been
uppermost in her mind. With an
embarrassing giggle, Florence Car
son turned toward the two women
and looked them over with an
amused expression. 1t was then
that Mrs. Pearson realized the sit
uation. She looked at Charlotte
patronizingly and smiled.

she remarked lightly. But to Char
lotte the predicament was almost
tragic. Of course, Gertrude Pear
son had purchased her gown at the
same shop. And how could she
admit her untruth to her friends
now.
Charlotte wanted to get to
Billy's listening ear and tell him
the tragic truth. But the next mo-
ment she heard Gertrude Pearson
laughing in her high, rasping voice.
''I couldn't resist going down
there and looking over those Won
derful bargains" she explained. ''I
knew they must be wonderful,

about them. He came over to play

things which may interest the 9TH
ers of a group"
Enthusiasm is akin to sponta-
neity, yet it draws fine line.
To be enthusiastic over the plans
which may be especially pleas
ing to another is a gift which
may be cultivated. Once you have
acquired this knack you will find
yourself broadening in your view
point of everything. Love your
fellow beings. Try to see their
good points first rather than be-
coming addicted to the ugly habit
of seeing another's faults and per-
mitting the good points to seep
through later.
We grow to like those who like
us. It is a law of nature which
never fails. And if you would be
popular, try the little game of lik-
ing every new person you meet,
and you will find a joyous response
to this spirit.
Can you smile, and do you?
Most of US do not realize the value
of a smile. We smile mechani-
cally, but even the mechanical
smile is better than constant dour
expression. We never know when
a smile will tighten the spirit of
another fellow human being. We
may offer a smile quite without
consciously attempting to impress
another, and it may blindly reg
lister the sunshine another heart is
seeking. Cheerfulness is as good
for ourselves as it is for those
about us.
A girl who has acquired these
habits of personality need never
worry about her popularity.

short to insure comfort. The fig
ure that is full above the normal
waistline should have more protec-
tion than the elastic top that the
regulation corset shows.
One way of reducing this leshy
part is to lend it support. The
corset may be cut high at back and
gradually slope toward the front
where the fleshy excess is on the
back. Gussets should be inserted
over the hipline if the figure re-
quires only a support at front and
back, These rubber gussets give
the figure a more natural line and
add comfort to the wearer while
walking or dancing.
The woman who is looking about
for a means of earning her own
living will find corsetry one of the
new fields. Courses in the design
ing and fitting of corsets are given
at most of the large Institutes
where trades for women are Of
fersd.

Can You Paint Parchment?

A NEW art has come into vogue
- and it is being taken up by
many women who once spent
their leisure hours with the en-
broidery needle. 1t is the art of
painting parchment shades.
The parchment shades come in
almost every conceivable shape.
They are already treated ready to
take the paint. A design in sill
houette is placed behind the shade
and the electric light turned on.
This shows the outline clearly, so
that it may be traced on the shade
with a sharp pencil.
When you have finished the trac-
ing, the next step is to go over the
lines with fine art pen and India
ink. This gives a vivid tone to the
design, and when it has dried you
are then ready to begin painting.
Flowers, birds, simple silhoG-
cites of dancing figures, land
scapes, fishing scenes--anything

buyers who flock to the fashion
center for the newest.
The tight bodice is shown. The
wide, circular skirt, with straight
hem lines or dipping into delight
full points on either side, will claim
a certain measure of popularity.
For these are the models buyers
are turning their eyes toward.
Taffeta is seen. It's crisp silk gives
1t an enviable place among the
other silks because it has the knack
of falling into graceful folds for
the new circular skirts.
Those delightful two-piece cos
tunes we knew earlier in the sea-
son, those costumes we learned to
know as "Jacquette Suits" will re-
main in style far into the new
year. But their lines will be
slightly changed to meet the rise
in waistline which has gradually
asserted its claim.
1t was predicted some months
ago, when we were wearing our
belts below the hips, that the waist
line would rise. Women looked
upon the prediction as idle gossip
and continued to have their gowns
fashioned with the extremely low
bcltline. The newer models show
the waistline just at the hipline,
neither above nor below. 1t is the
beginning of a new fashion which
couturiers seem to have agreed
upon. And by the Fall of 1928
we are very likely to find our
waistlines as we once had them
just below the sleeves. It seems
an absurd change, but by the time
the seasons of the new year have
rolled by we may have changed
our minds and be quite ready to
welcome this novelty.

My Secrets Of Charm
Bg Marilg1am Miller.

FAIR beauty means hair
= health. Unless your scalp
L = is in good condition you
cannot expect your hair to show
a polished sheen to an admiring
world.
It is surprising to note how
many women neglect their hair.
NV readers write me the various
treatments they give their scalp
and ask my opinion. am
amazed sometimes when l read OF
the brushing and comblng process
which, to the minds of so many,
seems sufficient to keep their hair
in good condition. Brushing and
combing the hair daily is like the
habit of powdering. It is but the
finishing touch to the picture. To
ACQUIRE the hair and scalp health
which brings beauty with it one
must go further in the care of the
hair.
If YOU examine a hair under the
microscope you will find that it
is a narrow tube filed with
fluid. The fluid is the coloring
matter. If this covering is broken
the air will penetrate the interior
and destroy the coloring solution,
making the hair appear gray.
This is the important reason for
using care in brushing the hair.
Make certain that your brush is
not too stiff and that the bristles
are long enough to penetrate
through the hair thickness without
merely beating against the hair
surface. Do not brush with qulck k,
brisk movements. This is a mis-
take many women make. The
short. brisk movement creates
heat from the friction which may
burn the cortex of the hair and
give the air a chance to pene-
trate.
To properly brush the hair. it
should be divided into strands and
the brush drawn through the por-
tions gently. An excellent way to
remove the dust and CRIME which
clings to the cortex chair cover
ingl is to cover the brush with a
square of cheesecloth. allowing
the bristles to come through the
porous material. When the hair
is brushed, the dust will cling to
the cloth which is later removed,
leaving a clean brush again.
Do you know that the cortex
of each hair is made up of tiny
verlapping scales like the skin Of
a fish? Each tiny scale is gagged
to overlap the other so that the
entire cortex is air-proof. If one
of these. scales is broken off, the
air will penetrate. They are
strong in texture and remain in
tact if not abused. But when the

causing split hairs, premature
graying and resulting in a coarse
texture to the hair.
Of course, no matter how care
full one may be in caring for the
hair itself in the daily brushing
conlbing and dressing, the scalp is
the real foundation of hair health
When the other precautions are
taken one must consider the car,

~ORSETRY has become one of
the professions into which
many women have entered
to-day. There was a time when
women were satisfied to purchase
the modish corset of the hour. But
psychologists have spread their
knowledge so that every woman
selects her corset now with an eye
to her individual figure.
There always will be women
whose figures are so perfect that
the ready-made corset is an econ
omy. Corsets of this kind are Of
fered on bargain counters and may
be purchased during sales at saw

But where the figure is not per-

individual figure. The figure that

Fashion Welcomes the New Year

THE world of fashion well
comes the new year. For
the new year means new
styles and a new interest in the
novelties which will characterize
the new clothes.
Evening gowns will always have
first place in the vogue interest of
most women. They hold a subtle
charm because of their exquisite
fabrics and the fact that they are
permitted to conceal or reveal
milady's graceful figure according
to the dictates of the moment.
The coming season will be one
of slender lines and low backs.
Gowns are showing the tendency
to rise almost to the throat at
front and fall in proportionate
depth at back. The line will be
an interesting change from the
Jenny neckline we have grown
weary of in evening frocks for the
past season.
Panne velvet is still holding first
place in fabric popularity for the
mid Winter season. 1t is being de-
signed into he most fascinating
evening wraps to match the velvet
gown worn beneath.
Metal brocade takes next place,
some authorities to the contrary.
The better shQps are showing the
velvet in theirfg ghoice models and
the metal brocades combined with
wide bands of the soft velvet are
used to fashion some of the most
attractive evening wraps on dis
play.
