TOURISTS

TOURISTS in England and in the
i countries bordering the North and
Baltic Seas buy amber, for the shops
are full of il, whole cases showing
necklaces and ornaments fashioned
| from this substance, whose color
varies from a straw yellow to ma
hogany brown, all of it possessing
| the rare beauty of .crystallized sun
| light, mellowed with the aging of the
! centuries.
The word "amber" comes from the
Arabian 'anhar," possibly through
Spanish influence. The ancient Greeks
ca He'd it "elektron." from which comes
our word electricity" from the fact
that amber acquires through friction
an electric charge. This fact was
first recorded by Thales of Mile us.
who lived from $40 to SAG BIC. Incl
dentally. it may he added that the
ancients had a heavy traffic in amber.
They possessed trade routes into the
north, whence they secured this much
priced substance. out of which they
cut and carved their ornaments.
The Baltic and the North Seas were
and still are the great sources OF
amber, for along their shores it is
still washed up, and is mined from
regions adjacent TO these seas. Ages
ago. huge forests of cOnifers or pines
reached their fragrant pinnacles to-
ward the heavens. their sides dripping
with resin and their submits tipped
with drops of it. for their trunks
and limbs are filled with the pungent
gum.
Then came the ice age. the forests
of pine being buried beneath enormous

leaving the nodules of resin to fos-
sliZe and form a golden strata for
the floor of the sea. In these de-
pusts are found beautifully preserved
specimens Of leaves, flowers, fruit
and the remains of insects.
Pieces Of amber torn from the sea

Men wade out into the incoming tide
with nets To gather the treasured
pieces. which due to their rolling in
the sand have acquired a dull sur.
face Often divers are employed to
gather amber from the deeper water.
Even the sea wood is pulled in, and
the masses of entangled amber are
removed from it.
The great amber producing country
is the pronontory of Samland in
East Prussia. There it is extensively
mined. the amber being obtained by
means of underground galleries, the
nodules having to be freed from the

sand.
Amber is worked by turning on a
lathe and is polished with rotten stone
or with whitening and water. friction
with a flannel giving it its final
luster. Much electricity is generated
in this last process.
Two pieces of amber can be welded
together by smearing their surfaces
with linseed oil, gradually heating
them and pressing them together

This increase Of color is still more
marked in the flora Of the Arctic

Some authorities favor the theory
that the flowers are more highly col.

are few bees and other honey-seek-

forth efforts to rival each other in
producing more vivid color in their
corollas.
Those who demand more practical
reasons ignore these arguments and
attribute the excess Of floral color to
solar light. During the relatively

the high regions flourish measure

Pursuit BY
Male Still
a Reality
BY MARTHA LEE

The element of the chase enters
into mems courtship Of woman, and
some women spoil the fun by sur
rendering too quickly and too COM
pletely. The love Of the chase, is,
of course, another hangover from
marriage by capture, and the highly
civilized male, who is looking for a
friendship of soul which the senses
share, will be interested in chasing
the object of his dfeSire all over
the lot.
But the vast majority of men are
intrigued by the will-o'-the-wisp in
woman. One roguish wife of my
acquaintance said to her enslaved
husband, do you think you can
hold me forever, darling?"
About as we'll as a man might
hold a creased pig, my DEAR" was
his reply.
But this was the secret of her
charm, for him. Some men need
this feeling of uncertainty to keep
them interested. Out of this phase
of masculine psychology the phrase,
keep EN- guessing" arose.
Last night 1 held council before
the fires with three beautiful flap
pers who are VIGOROUSLY successful
with "the boys" and I asked them
to tell me the secret of their sue
cess. Treat 'em mean" said one;
Let 'em alone" cried another;
Don't give 'em all the dates they
want" declared the third, and "Al-
ways hold something back"
When one reaches a certain age
one demands of love certainty, Sc
curity. Personally, I would not
care for a love that was not sane
tuary, a safe harbor.
But it takes all kinds of human
beings to make up a world If men
like to suffer for their love, then
let them suffer. The attitude which
I have been describing is best illus
trated by the remark of a man
know, who said: There are few
women whom I trust, and they are
not interesting"

Woe to Man

BY Women
RY MRS. WkLTER FERGUS

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSSsaA>
Women who organize and Elln
clubs have a perfect passion Gor
procuring some helpless man to
stand up and lecture them. Com
pletely surrounded by gorgeously
gowned and deliciously scented fe-
males the club entertainer who has
previously performed a notable
achievement in some line or other
is begged to bring his message" to
the women. They do so love to lion
ize man.
The general atmosphere into
which one of these educators steps,
is one of ardent admiration. He is
assailed with sweetest smiles and
pierced by adoring glances. While
he stands expounding some philos-
optical truth to the fair ones, he
should taste unalloyed bliss. NO
where else in life would it appear
that his vanity might so openly
preen itself.
Yet there is doubtless no creature
in the world SO uncomfortable, so
miserable, so anguiShed.
He'd Like to Run
Although this man may swagger,
inwardly he trembles. These alien
creatures, with smiling yet critical
eyes, he is not at home among
them. He would like nothing SO
much as to tackle them enmasse
and make a dash for liberty. AL
though they appear to reverence
his wisdom and learning, he can
never be sure that they mean what
they look.
One woman among crowd of
men is never so self conscious be-
cause the woman always feels, no
matter how unattractive she may
be, that the men are admiring in
her their dream of the eternal fem
mine. Al-d the man knows that
these women, no matter how rev.
erentisl, are always laughing at
him.
Why Do They Fall?
One wonders why any intelligent
man is ever caught in such a pre-
dicament. Perhaps the male pas
sion for lecturing has something
to do with it. However, if these wise
creatures could read the minds of
their listeners, how they would bolt
such convention.
And these women may never say
one single word except Of praise
They may gather together and rave
over his sartorial elegance, his Ian
guage, his wit, his charm, but just
the same, they will never relinquish
that inherent feeling of maternity
which subconsciously makes all men
nothing but small boys to them.
We may pat them and praise
them but no matter how wise they
are, we will never admire them so
much that we do not wish to man
age them Witness, if you please,

BRUNETS TAKE THEIR
OWN SHAMPOO
RY ANN ALYSIS

How shall the dark-haired girl
best bring out the beauty OF her
raven locks?
She should shampoo them as reg
ularly and as frequently as her fair
sister, at least twice a week. If she
wishes to keep her hair in primo
condition, she must exercise more
care in one respect, and that is in
her choice of soap, which should be
of the best quality, and contain no
ingredient that would be apt to dull
the dark color The glossiness which
is so much admired in brunei hair
is due to the natural oils present in
the scalp. Washing often removes
this natural hair dressing, so a few
drops of brilliantine applied by rub
bling with the hands restores it's
beauty.
BoraX, carbonate of potash, car
Donate of soda or peroxide of n.y.
drogen, which beautify blonde hair
and keep it light in color, take all
the life and luster from black or
brown tresses, and should never
be used by brunets.
Instead the dark girl must use
extra care to remove every trace of
soap. A very small amount of lemon
Juice in the rinsing water will serve
to neutralize any free alkali remain
ing from the soap used in washing.
Too much acid, however, is just as
injurious as too much alkaA.
If the hair is on the chestnut or
auburn order, a henna rinse will
add a little brightness.
