JOURNEYS IN
BRIEF
BY Temple Manning

Women of the Western world
would he shocked at the idea of
showing their age by their
coiffure. For one often cannot
tell the difference between the
grandmother and her flapper
granddaughter. Both sport the
latest shingle bobs. Not SO, how
ever. among the Chinese women.
Almost every stage of their life
is designated by a different colt
fure.
From the infancy the hair of
the little Chinese girl Is shaVen,
save in one round spot about a
quarter of an inch above her fore
head. There her hair is permitted
to grow into a long thick plait
At about 5, when she has lost
her milk name" and has taken
on the more important one of
''mellowing age" her hair is al
lowed to grow. 1t is divided care
fully by a part through the mid
die, and one part is braided and
coiled about the left ear. the other
part being braided and left to
hang loosely at the other side.
This style of headdress signifies
that she is ready to be asked in
marriage and lasts until she is
about IS. II, however. she is still
unmarried after that time. she will
braid her hair ami wear it in two
coils over each ear denoting that
she Is ready for marriage.
Her marriage state is proclaimed
by a coil worn behind.
The hair of the Chinese woman
Is indeed her browning glory" ="
and the possession of shining,
luxuriant locks are more impor-
tant to the Chinese beauty than
lovely features and form are to her
Western sister. Indeed, she often
uses glue on her head to give the
effect OF satiny glossinesA

conductor was beginning to fling
a mean adverb himself.
The lady glared, snorted and
prepared to descend the steps.
How dare you talk to me like
that! You'll hear of this. What's

think that passengers have no
rights. Well, I'll show you. I'll

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. BiscIl-

WHAT a pity that nursing
w the baby at the breast is
Stunned or abhorred by 50
many mothers.
True 1t is. if the mothers milk
is impoverished, scant or absent
that no cause for alarm exists.
Physicians are mighty expert
with food formulas these days
and a bottle-fed baby can be made
to grow up strong, healthy ana
lusty.
Nevertheless, there is no deny
ing the truth. Mothers milk is
the best for the baby. Bottle
feeding must always remain a
substitute, No matter how per-
feet it may turn out to be, it can
never be quite as good as the
breast.
Bottle-fed babies do not possess
the resistance to disease that
breast-fed babies have. During
the first year of life the death
rate of the bottle-fed infant is
three times as great as that of
the breast-fed!
You. a mother, surely want to
follow natures laws. You don't
want to give your baby handi-
capped start If you possibly can
help it. do you? No sensible
woman, if she stops to think the
matter over, is deliberately going
to serve her own convenience at
the expense of her child
Don't be influenced by the gos-
sip YOU may hear. Nursing breasts
need not necessarily become per-
manently distended and flahby,
provided proper care is taken OF
them.
A proper brassiere, for support
below and under the breasts, helps
great deal. But whatever you
do. don't wear a brassiere, elastic
or otherwise, over the breasts so
as to compress them. Women
sometimes do that, thinking they
will prevent the breasts from
growing large. What it does is
cramp the milk glands, distort the
shape of the normal breast and
seriously interfere with normal
function.
Bear in mind that regular
nursing as prescribed by your doc
tor keeps the breasts emptied and
light anyway.
Unfortunately, an overabundant
milk supply is not problem with
the average mother. quite the
contrary is the case.
With the advance of civilization
women have become highly strung
in their nervous organization
They have become more and more
unstable. E,motionalism has be-
come the rule. And the conse-
uuence is that the ability of the
mother to feed her own baby mas
become lessened.
Count yourself lucky. then, my
good mother, if you find you have
milk for the most precious thing
there possibly can be in the world,
your own baby.
Suppose nursing is a bit of
bother at times. Suppose, espe-
cially in the early weeks, that IT
interferes somewhat with your
work. your daily habits, or possi.
bly, your social engagements? is
it not better to be the proud pos

flows with joy and energy than
to have a sickly or difficult baby
over whom you fret and worry
and wonder whether or not he 1s
finally going to pull through and
develop into Healthy adulthood?
Finally, not only be certain that

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

HyHE only "line'' that holds any
vital interest for a girl these
days IS the stag-line.
The older generation openly sus-
poets that the younger generation
is getting hardening OF the neart;
and the younger generatlon
secretly believes that the older
generation is getting soften1ng OF
the brain.
"A popular fellow" is the one
who is skilled in the art Of tell
ing a good story to the men
and a good lie to the women.
Just about the time woman
has learned to pack mans suit
case so that he can find his
shaving things in the dark, and
has learned which are his hooks
in the closet, they discover that
they are incompa tible.
No matter how many leading
ladies there may be in a mans
life, he always likes to think that
there are a few extras" waiting
around, too.
It is safe to make a man Ieel
that he is appreciated, that he is
admired, and even that he Is
Ioved-but never that he is ind!s-
pensable.
A man may take a sensible
heel'' to golf. hike or camp with
him; but. it is usually the "silly"
kind that walks beside him to the
altar.
Alas. the ashes of his dead
loves strewn over his path never
kept any man from skidding!
"Swank." When in Rome, do
ing as the Romans do-when in
America, doing as the Londoners
do.
