Everyday Law Cases
Does Playing Cards at Pirate
House Violate Statute For
bidding GdmbHngP
BY THE COUNSELOR.

Five men sat in the home of Henry
Russell playing game of cards.
Alongside of each man was stack
of coins Two officers of the law
stalked into the room, and the peace
full game had a sudden ending.
Russell and his guests were charged
with violating a statute forbidding bet
ting at any game of cards. The men
defended themselves on the ground
that they were merely playing a
friendly game in a private residence.
When Russell and his friends were
convicted and fined they took an ap-
peal to the highest court in the State.
There the conviction was reversed,
the court stating:
whenever the question has been
decided in the appellate courts dis
tinction has been made between gam
ing at public resort and at a private
residence. From an examination of
the decisions it may be laid down as
general proposition that in no juris-
dictions where statutes against gam
ing exist is it unlawful to play or bet
at cards at private house or resi-
dence, from which the public are ex-
cluded, where those participating
come as guests of host not conduct
ing the game for profit and strictly
on invitation, and where games are
not conducted with such frequency as
in law to impress upon the private
house or residence the character of a
common resort or public place.

Feminizing the Bob.

There are endless ways in which
long hair may be arranged. but with
bobbed locks ones choice of coiffures
is limited to few styles. Since / am
rather frequently asked to suggest
bobbed coiffures for different types of
faces, l am describing three today
that are a little different from the
ordinary.
(a) The first coiffure is suitable for
a small. daintily built girl with
round, we'll shaped head. Her fea-
lures are piquant and delicate, her
ears small and shapely. To dress the
coiffure make part up the center Of
the back to the crown. Brush all the
hair forward away from the parting
Curl the hair and mold it into three
wide, fiat waves running across the
head from side to side The ends of
the hair on the sides curl up over the
cheekbOnes, exposing the ears. The
ends of front hair are Curled under
| like a bang that extends half way
down the forehead. All the hair is
kept fairly close to the head so that
| the natural contour is preserved. The
| hair about the nape of the neck is of
course. clipped neatly
tb) A second coiffure for girl
| with a long face and rather promi.
| nent nose requires bobbed hair that
! is not shingled behind. Soft blond or
! light brown hair of fine texture looks
| pretty arranged in this way: Make
part in the front hair, beginning it at
| a point above the center of an eye
brow and running it to the top of the
| head. Pull the hair forward over the
| temples and brOWs In few dips o,
waves. pnning each securely in place
with invisible hairpins. The hair
| covers the ears. Brush the back hair
| down straight and put one wave al
the end, so that it curls under, form
| ing a roll Of hair across the back OF
| the head. Adjust a hair net to EN-
| phasize the roll of back hair with the
aid of a few hairpins. and you have
a coiffure resembling the youthful
| long haired arrangement popular
among college girls.
| tc) fluffy style of bobbed coiffure
that is becoming to the tall, slender
| girl with a high forehead and large
features may be made with 'ntel
| part. The hair is marceled at the
| sides and across the back 1t is
| brought forward in waves down to the
eyebrows and over the temples and
! ears. Its distinctive feature is a
| group of three ringlets made from
the top layer of hair and pinned over
| each ear.

Trained Seals.

You don't have to visit the circus
to see the trained seals. They are all
about you, and they earn just so much
per week for their cute tricks. These
trained seals are among the young
men of this day and generation. They
know a few tricks, but they do not
impress the girls as being worth the
price Of admission.
The evolution of man has produced
many varieties and left as many fos-
sill specimens. You know the list of
male has-beens-the Java man, but
none of the real Mocha kind; the
Heidelberser and Pittsburgher; the
butter-and-egger and finale hopper:
the lounge lizard and apothecary's
cowboy. Evolution is now producing
the Cinderella man, which is as near
as they have come to the superman.
Step up. girls, but don't waste your
animal crackers on these cake con-
sumers. They are all trained seals,
but their tricks do not get as the way
they used, to make our grandmas say
OH and "Ah" No; for we prefer
something in the way of wild animals.
Don't be afraid of these smooth
creatures, with all the talcum on
their cheeks and stacomb on their
heads. They are slick guys and
trained seals of the post-armistice
period. The tough guys are still over
in France and Belgium, and / guess
they are there to stay until the big
bugle blows.
If we had remained where we were
or where our mothers used to be,
these specimens of the masculine spe-
cles wouldn't look so bad They'd
seem more like lion-tamers than
trained seals. But, still, think that
men could show little more pep.
We girls would like to have them
have them dominant. l guess that's
the right word.
But men are shy about dominating
us. They don't even pay attention
to US. or course, they give us the
once, twice. thrice over, but that's not
the kind of attention that I mean.
Say, listen. It's the men of the old
school who have escaped all this seal
training.

Good Speaking Voice Has Message
by LYDIA lie BARON WALKER

J a pleasing quality into them that they
become delightful to hear.
There are definite reasons why
every woman should cultivate this
pleasing voice. If she has to be ir

| Heads Of fine houses consider a gonC
voice as one point. and a big one, il
favor of applicants for positions. Il
! the woman has special ambitions, she

refinement ella ssifies her as mot up tc
requirements. Since culture is ar

/ Immediately in one of it's forms by the
beautifully modulated and correct

The Cultivated Voice.
How, then, is a woman TO learn to
speak with the requisite degree OF
fncness that distinguishes her as cul-
tured? 1t is an requirement to be
gained by listening to fine voices and
/ finding out what qualities they have.
Here are some guides. First. the
voice must he low without being in
distinct. This means that there is
good enunciation. Both of these
things lie within the power of every
woman. There must be no clipping
of final letters. such as the droppinC
of SIS" or the omission of final It's. -
Going must be pronounced as it is
spelled and not as If it were a word of
four letters. Must never is "muSs'

example "How do" cannot take the
place of gracious How do you du?"
Pitfalls.
Letters that are not in words are
never included, such as the letter r.
| added to idea. etc. The word mann.
ma" is not called "mommer." but is
given preferably with its accent on
the final syllable
Apart from the pronunciation of
words there is a beauty of modulat ton
that takes longer to acquire. 1t in.
cludes gracious element. as we'll as
an appreciation of grammatical con.
struction that prevents the raising
and lowering of the voice without re.
gard to periods, questions or com.
mas.
Quality
The pleasing voice is free from any
hlnt OF condescension. 1t has no taint
OF the obsequious. 1t is a sincere
voice with a quality of charm that
we sum up in the phrase, the voice
with a smile" However, this smiling
quality is not intruded when topics
are serious or sad, though a de.
pressing element is not introduced
Ihere is a mellowness about a cul.
tured voice that is instantly recoc.
nized by cultured people. 1t cannot

Shave under the arms, too, or use
depilatory powder. I'd prefer shaw
ing; it's easier and quicker. But de-
pilatory powders cannot be used on
the face. Nor can a woman shave
without bringing in these hairs
thicker and coarser than before. For
the face the tweezers are much more
effective.
Generally it is best to hold the skin
taut around a particular hair, using
the fingers of the left hand then with
the right take the hair firmly with
the tweezers and pull it out. Then
right away touch the place with a
little peroxide Of hydrogen.
This serves two purposes-it makes
the place antiseptic and it tends to
bleach any fuZZ growing around the
hair. OF course, a new hair will come
again after a time, but depilatories
take the hair off at the surface, as in
shaving. and next day there is stubby
growth already showing above the
skin; also the powder eats off the fuZz
and encourages 1t to grow also, MAX.

their skins freed in this way and

The Woman of Forty-Nine
BY CLYDE CALLISTER.

1t was when Maria Theresa was 40
years old that she was left a widow
by the death Of her husband, EN-
peror Francis of Austria. and became
joint regent with her son, Joseph II,
Of the hereditary states of Austria.
And thus began a period when she
exercised her widest influence over
Austrian and European politics. The
English writer, Carlyle, describes her:
Most brave, high and pious- minded;
beautiful, too, and radiant with good
nature, though of a temper that will
