worn hands soft and white again.
The time to prevent deterioration Of
ones beauty is at the beginning of
married life. Fifteen minutes a day
spent on home beauty culture at this
time will be more helpful than hours
of professional treatments later in life.
Not only that, but the daily effort to
keep her hands well manicured and
her coiffure attractive helps to keep
up the homemaker's morale.
This problem of a neat. becoming
coiffure seems TO be a knotty one for
some home women whose hair Is not
naturally curly. Straight. well
groomed hair may be as pretty as
wavy hair but many women do not
feel really dressed up" unless their
hair is curled. This involves curling
ii with kids or hot irons or having
A permanent wave. There are draw
backs in connection with all these
methods.
If kids or metal curriers' are used
every day they may make the hair
thin and eventually bald in spots.
TO counteract this possibility one
should change ones colffure from time
TO time so that the same strands of
hair need not be in curl all the time.
The hair should be brushed daily and
the scalp massaged. If there is tend
ency toward brittleness. hot oil treat
ments should be taken Hot irons
should not be used regularly more
often than twice a month unless the
hair is abundant and fairly oily.
Sea nty. dry hair should not be curied
with heat. A permanent wave should
not he. put in unless the hair is in
first-class condition. glossy and thick.
Waves Of this sort last from three to
six months. They are convenient
while they last and may he renewed
if the condition of the hair permits.
Whether the hair will be kinky or not
depends on the texture o. the hair
and curling method employed.

In 1915 she came to the United

cialist in rural education, and she
spent her time. until her appoint
ment as chief Of the new division in
1920. in making surveys of rural con
dltions, and in cooperating with the
States in the solution of local
problems.
Since the assumption of the larser
duties as chief she has broadened
her scope to the direction of the spe-

OF the department or rural education

Country Life Association. and, she
has written frequent articles for the
school journals. :.
Her published bulletins include
"Supervision of Rural Schools"
Rural Education and constructive
Tendencies in Rural Education" In
one of these she says: ''The signifi-

as to the farm population. may be

made in the Bureau Of Education

that approximately 10000 900 of the
children of the country live in rural
