WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
By MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

Perhaps you do not agree that the
bridegroom Is more nervous than the
bride at the wedding. If that Is the
case, let us hear from you. In the
meantime we will try to account for
the observation and testimony OF many
who say that the bridegroom Is usually
more nervous.
At times the bridegroom's nervous
ness is pathetic. One correspondent
asserts that at wedding which he at
tended the bridegroom was so nervous
that he could not go on with the cere-
mony and tainted.
The bride Is usually less nervous. be-
cause she Is more interested in what Is
going on. She is thinking Of the beau
tiful decorations, the guests In their
best finery and OF her own appearance
and of her maids. For her II Is one
grand occasion. the greatest Of her life.
The ceremony Is enjoyed for Its own
sake. while for the bridegroom the cere-
mony Is a means, something to go
through with and have over as quickly
as possible.
The bridegroom is more nervous be-
cause he Is inclined to be self-conscious.
Men as rule do not receive the same
amount of attention as women. They
are less at ease In mixed company,
especially when all eyes are turned In
their direction.

BEAUTY CHATS
Details.

Be as careful Of your appearance as
you can. Don't go aroung with a shiny
nose when compact powder cases can
be had as cheaply as 10 cents. A shiny
nose these days makes the face look
unwashed. Don't have wispS of hair
hanging around in sloppy fashion.
Bobbed hair will save you that way,
for those ugly bits that won't tuck in
or behave can be cut off and kept cut.
Don't wear your clothes in a careless
fashion. These days the girl who Is
naturally slipshod in appearance can
buy herself straight, one-piece frocks
that hang properly no matter how bad
ly she puts them on. In fact, the more
carelessly you put on some of these
casual little silk or cloth frocks the
better looking they are.
Here are some things to be careful
about. The newest danger, since the
light silk stocking fad, Is ankles COW
cred with black spots where the black
shoe has touched the stocking and
rubbed mark. I'd advise thin weight
gun metal stocking with black shoes,
and as another hint. in many cases,
black shoes can be cleaned with white
shoe cream to keep them polished,
which prevents black from rubbing off.
Also, patent leather is safe with beige
or nude stockings
BY the way. never let shoes go un-
polished. The safest thing to do, when
you remove a pair for the day, is to
slip shoe trees In and at once give them
a quick rubbing with shoe cream and
a flannel. and then put them away,
clean and polished and fresh for the
next use. Keep the heels in repair, for
a worn-down heel will make you look
very badly.
Be careful of gloves. You'll save
money in the end by buying expen-

Everyday Law Cases
May Party ImpeGch the Truth
OF His Own Witness?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Jack Brown, In a suit at law. claimed
damages from Charles Lambert for an
alleged assault and battery.
The day of the trial arrived and
Brown brought with him a number of
witnesses. One OF his witnesses was
Harry Scott, upon whom Brown relied
for important evidence.
When Scott got on the stand and be-
gan 10 testify both Brown and his at
torney were amazed. The testimony was
so different from that which he was
expected to give that Brown was nom
plussed. All of 1t was In favor Of the
opposing side, considerably damaging
Browns chances Of obtaining a ver-
dict.
It was In vain that Browns counsel
endeavored 10 get Scott to change his
story. The attorney then placed an
other witness of Brown on the stand
and started to question him as TO
SCOTS reputation for veracity, intend
ing to show that 1t was very bad. But
the lawyer for the other side. taking
advantage of the situation. refused. with
the permission of the court, TO allow
Brown to irnpeach the character Of his
own witness.
The. court ruled In accordance with
the following well established principle:
"A party may not impeach his own
witnesses. The reason Of 1t Is this, be-
cause 1t would be unfair that he should
have the benefit OF the testimony If
favorable, and be able to reject 1t II the
contrary. He should not hold q person
forth as worthy of belief whom he
knows and has witnesses to prove to be
to the contrary"

lists who believe that twice a week is
not too often. The hair catches dust

its roots are collected the secretions of
the oil and sweat glands and also scales
OF dandruff that are constantly becom-
ing loose from the scalp. This debris
remains on the scalp unless 1t is washed
out or brushed out with q clean brush.
The best way to tell when your hair
needs washing is to look at your hair
