4 Few Beauty Hints for Your Hair

BEAUTIFUL hair frequently re.
- deems an otherwise plain per.
son from complete insignificance
and raises her to level almost OF
beauty, for hair is rightfully called
"woman's GROWING glory" Every
woman has a right to beautiful
hair, and can make good her claim
by care and study, even IL she has
not been gifted by Nature with
the hair she would choose. Color
is a comparatively small part Of
hairs beauty, for it is the life and
vigor in the hair which give It
tone, and no color Is lovely unless
1t has glow.
On the other hand, undertones
and sheen give an effect Of beauty
where the color is nondescIipt.

But she couldn't go alo.!O. They
wouldn't let her in at April Manor
If she appeared alone!
She found a telephone, gave the
number Of Moorelands; snapped up
the receiver before there was an
answer. Jamie mustn't know! In
his anger and hurt he might say
bitter things; Christy thus would
find an excuse to leave them; to
go her own uncharted way.
There was Penny. Would he be-
in love with her cousin, enough to
break IN on an affair with another
man-to drag her out of danger?
Or would he see only the evil look
Of the thing and hold Christy
cheap?
Gay couldn't risk that. Christy
cared for Pen: whatever she
did, he was the one Christy loved.
Well. then. sacrifice her own
pride; go against every instanct.

ject Of keeping company" makes
the following comments on this
subject:
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
"A young lady whose letter was
printed recently in your column
told how lonesome she is because
she lost the friend who kept
steady company with her for two
years.
Il would like to say that If a
man and girl are honest In regard
to the question Of matrimony
they can cut two years down to
six months when it, comes to
keeping company. II matrimony
Is not the motive impelling two
people of manageable age to
keep company. then neither has
cause for complaint If the asso-
citation comes to an end.
There are girls, of course-lots
of them-who are thinking Of
nothing but auto rides, theaterS
and other costly good times when
they accept a mans attentions.
If they wish to sell their com.
partnership in this way, they, also,
have no complaint If they eventu.
ally lose the man. Sometimes
they succeed in marrying for
money. Such marriage ventures
usually END, in the courts.
i am not yet married. But IL
1t takes me two years to find
whether I really love girl who
interests me, shall have myself
examined to find what IL wrong
with my thinking cap.
Model homes would often re-
suit from marriage IL women took
the right to pop the question.
Their sense of responsibility for
a marriage proposed by them.

for combing the hair and the fine

tial that a comb and brush should
be kept clean.
Adults can stand a sitter, longer

bristles should be grouped and ar
ranged at intervals. with longer
bristles in the center Of each
group. A brush with fairly long
handle and a narrow back is best
for the hair. The length Of the
bristles should vray with the

people have two brushes, a stias

WHAT happiness and hopeful.
w ness Is summed up in the
words keeping company" I
doubt whether this phase is
defined in any dictionary, yet it
10 well understood by the aver.
age girl and young man.
When a man and girl keep
company" they may be just pals.
But 1t is not unlikely that. con.
sciously or unconsciously, they
are slipping into love with each
other.
Keeping steady company" how.
ever, implies not only going about
together, but shutting out the at.
tentions Of all others. This re-
suits naturally in, becoming en-
gagged.
But the first thing many a
young man asks Of a girl who
interests him, is that she refuse
invitations from other men, and
keep STEADY company" with him.
This deprives the girl of oppor-
tunities to make friendships, any
one Of which might lead to love
and marriage.
On the other hand, it does not
in any way obligate the young
man with whom she ''keeps
steady company" to marry her.
Too often the result is that after
monopolizing 9 girl for a year or
several years, causing other ad.
mirers to drop out Of the race, a
young man grows bored, or be.
comes attracted to another, and
leaves his former STEADY" quite
alone and heartbroken, because
she has depended on him solely
for amusement, companionship
and affection.
