Cheer Up

The next time someone buttonhOles you
to give you a bunch of statistics or tell you
sad story, all relative to depressing business
conditions, and how everything is going to
the dogs, just recall the following story with
the mental note that things may not be
as bad as they appear
1t seems there was an old gentleman
who imagined he was getting deaf 1t both
cred him tremendously and he was constant
~ afraid that some day he wouldn't be able
to hear. On a Sunday afternoon, taking a
stroll, he sat himself down on a park bench
where somewhat later, rather seedy old
man took seat alongside. The apprehen-
sive old gentleman saw the newcomer was
talking rapidly. He strained to hear his
words, but not sound could he get. He
leaned closer, but still was unable to hear.
He was now convinced that the misfortune
OF deafness had finally come upon him
1t has come at last" he groaned aloud
to his seatmate, mot word that you say
can hear"
The stranger turned in surprise
i haint been talkin'," he replied, "jest
chewin'"
She-I am collecting you know, for the
suffering poor
He-But are you sure they are suf-
fering?
: She Oh, yes. Why, go to their homes
and talk to them for hours.

THIN HAIR CAN BE PUT UP
(By NEA Service)

KANSAS CITY, Moi your hair
IS thin and scraggly and you cant
do anything with it, take cheer
from Mrs. Augusta Eddy of this city.
Mrs. Eddy recently won first prize
in a contest in which the entrants
were required to diess up heads of
short, thin, unwie!dly locks. Other
contestants pleased the judges SO
that their coiffure5 were exhibited
before a convention of hairdressers
here. Even tho bobbed-haired miss,
who has become sick and tired of
her short crop. could have gained
many a valuable suggestion for
putting EN- up" from this display.
Mrs. Eddy's prize winner exhibited
a parted marcelled hair, high on the
head with only false braid across
the back. The ears OF course, were
covered. In fact, not single colt
ture shown at this convention at
tempted 10 uncover them.
"A woman does not need a wealth
CT hair to appear to good advan-
tage," explains Mrs. Eddy. "One
simply must mako the most OF mar
ceiling and fluting."
And there's the secret. Proper
use of combs and small ornaments
in addition, enables the hairdresseI
TO get the same effects that are ordi-
narily obtained with heavy heads OF
hair.
Il purposely used a model whose
hair is not heavy" Mrs. Eddy adds.
THE hair was done loosely all over
the head. but especially loose at the
hack. That gives an appearance OF
heavy head OF hair without the
use Of switches.
