that more and more young women
were dancing without their hats. A
little tactful inquiry brought out the
fact that it was because most of them
didn't At. Many nervous" headaches
are due also to tight-ftting hats.
When you place hat on your head
it should sit there as if it belonged

Boy Friends Advice.

All you young wives and sweet
| hearts, Of course, want to please
! your menfolx in the the way you
| dress. And what more natural than
! that you should beg the boy friend
| to go with you when you pick out
| the new Spring wardrobe!
! Even IL you don't actually persuade
| him 10 venture into the shop with
| you, you anxiously inquire whether
! the blue frock in the window suits
| his fancy-would he like you 10 Be'
| that one--is he sure?
If he has any ideas on the subject
| of women's clothes, they're very lKe-
! " decided views--he thinks he knows
| lust what he wants, and nothing else
! will do.
And his opinion having been asked
1 for. he very often takes ages pe1ore
| giving sign to show his approval
! of any dresses displayed.
Thus the wife or fiance who hns
| begged her man to help her choose
some new coat or ensemble very often
comes home after an afternoon. dur
ing which they've shopped together
in a very bad temper. and with her
| feelings thoroughly hurt.
Gladys wept furiously the other day.
She and Carl had spent a nice sat
urday afternoon looking for a sport
coat.
Carl knows all about women's
clothes-he could design them II he
only had the time.
II asked him 10 help me select
a coat" walled Gladdie. "and all he
did was to tell me ! looked perfectly
dreadful in everything / tried on. The
only coats he liked were the awfully
expensive ones / couldn't afford. II
he really loved me. he'd think looked
nice in everything
Isn't that tragic? But Carl isn't
the hard hearted villain he sounds.
You see, Gladys wasn't looking
extra good that shopping afternoon.
She had on an old hat and some
rather shabby shoes.
So. no matter what sort of wrap
she tried on. the effect was pretty bad.
Carl, a mere man, couldn't figure
that out. He just knew Gladys
looked far from smart, and he decided
it must be the coat.
So he cast his vote against every
thing she tried on, and she was
miserable.
1t isn't good policy TO take the boy
friend along when you're doing your
buying.
He's apt to he so much more fussy
when his opinion is asked for. He'll
find all sorts OF fault with whatever
you wear, II you give him half a
chance.
Besides. all the glamour of the
new purchase is gone IL you let him
see it while you're still wearing old
shoes and hat
Just go and buy yourself something
nice and becoming. then a trim hat
TO go with Il, and smart pair of
shoes, tie a gay scarf around your
neck, burst on his startled vision
with complacent ''IIow's that, my
boy? Pretty good?'
And listen to his adniring roar:
Gee, you certainly know how to
pick the clothes. You look great
Whereas. If you'd let him come
along to help, he'd have very likely
turned down everything you bought.
You have TO humor 'em-and fool
'ern, too.

Dainty Touches.

Every we'll dressed woman will tell
YOU (if she is very generous. and
does not mind giving up her beauty
Secrets) that there are all sorts of
tricks in this game of being pretty.
Some girls seem to know these arts
instinctively, some could not learn
them If they gave up all their time
TO it, but most will catch on to these
little tricks quickly enough when
they learn about them.
One trick is to make the eyes look
distinguished" by forming the eye
browS into a thin, finely arched line.
The only trouble is that many Wom-
en- keep the line of their eyebrows SO
thin that the eyes lose all their
character. Thick eyebrows show
strength of character and will re-
deem an otherwise weak face. SO
while YOU may thin your eyebrows
if YOU want, be careful not to over
do it.
Tinted cold cream on the eyelashes
is q trick to make them seem longer
and the eyes larger. One of the
latest stunts in Paris is an enamel
which Is rubbed over the entire up
per eyelids. The skin does not alb
sorb it, but looks very shiny, its pur
pose being to make the eyes look
