It is surprising how quickly this

And this ain1less frenzy IS not
confided to the children. We
adults should plan our leisure
moments to mean a time to de-
velop interests for which we have
had no time heretofore. We.
should make 1t q time to learn
to live gracefully: to join the
sketching class at which we have
long cast wistful eyes; to explore
the rows of books which we have
previously only touched when we

PERMANENT
WAVE

Most people who have studied
the effect OF a permanent wave
on the hair believe it is really not
so hard on the hair as the Oft
repeated marcel, according to
Eileen Bourne in an article In
this weeks issue of Liberty Maga-
zine.
Indeed" continues Miss Bourne,
"oily hair distinctly profits from
a process which has drying ef-
feet upon the natural oils. 1t is
true that dry hair, on the other
hand, is threatened after a per-
manent wave with a tendency to
brittleness. Yet, II q woman
treats her hair to bath in
warm olive oil the night before
every shampoo and allows the oil
to remain on Gthe scalp till morn
ing; IL she brushes her hair two
minutes a day and messages her
scalp q little every evening
then, in nine cases out of ten,
every bit Of natural oil win be
retained"

I am protected by the hills: no

But the oak on the cliff grew
differently. Because its hold was
precarious it sent roots deeply,
deeply into the side OF the hill and
broadened its trunk till it was an
enormous thing, and flattened its
branches against the winds.
And the other day a raging
autumn storm came down the
river; such storm, indeed. that
the hill was small protection for
the oak in the valley, and its
proud head was brought low and
it was snapped off near the
ground and the future 1t refused
to consider was ended.
But the oak on the cliff still
stands, stronger than ever-as it
will stand for hundred years to
come.
