Not for long can we remain away
from the subject OF the hair aud its
most becoming arrangement. For IL
the suinme,--tlie barehead season
tie couture forms a most important
part of Ute tic'rte.
one OF tire tic5t attractive arrange
ments for summer is, of course, the
fern;nixcd mode which is so delightful
iof he verg young, charming for the
NOT so young, and gracious indeed to
the matron who is not young at all
For the very young il can be
achieved by soft waves, distractingly
impudent tight curls, and even soft
feminine bangs on the forehead ar
rangedEif you please-witll the skill
and art of master! For the matron
chignon and Transformation are very
much the vogue.
One couture that is extremely at
tractive for the slender, youthful type
is that wherein the hair is parted in
the center, worn with bangs very
slightly curving on the forehead and
having a soft side wave terminating
IN blunt ends which are brought for
ward on the cheek. Pointed ends are
slowly going out. General usage has
killed them for the smart woman.
A second arrangement which is par
ficularly good for wear with evening
clothes is very much the same, ex-
cept that the bangs are not in evidence,
and medium-sized chignon appears
At the back. --

Tiny tight round curls completely
cover the back of the head. The sides
are curled over-stot Under, which is
denlode-and are arranged with exact
precision. In the couture the pointed
back APPEARS. Incidentally, it is an
effect especially adapted to the smart
woman with a rather long and slender
neck.
Some Partisan masters choose to h.
terpret the style with the loose clns-
tered masses of ringlets. which yod
may perhaps have seen in pistures OF
the Empress Josephine. The fashion
is distinctly Empire-and very fem
inine--but your hair must be shoulder
length to achieve it.
An interesting although somewhat
radical hair arrangement is already
much seen in Paris and is beginning
to take hold in New York and other
cosmopolitan centers. It resembles

RED TAPE FOR CUPID

While certain publicists deplore the reluctance
of young people to marry, other upfters are busy
ing themselves with plans for making it harder for
those who are matrimonially inclined.
An example of the latter activity is seen in
the recommendations of the Woman's City Club of
New York, committee of which has been in
vestigating the subject Among other things it is
recommended that girls under sixteen be not per-
mitted to marry except upon consent of judge.
Also that of any age be allowed to wed until
five days after the license is issued.
There may be sound logic back of the first re-
striction but the wisdom of the latter is open to
question To require mature persons to obtain
marriage licenses five days ahead of the wedding
date would often cause inconvenience, and possibly
embarrassment
A glance at the personnel Of the investigation
committee is hardly convincing to it's competency
to prescribe red tape for the restriction of Cupu,
anyway. There five members of the committee

Editors at .tMain Street"

For the third time within six
years the Northern Minnesota Edi-
torial Association has chosen the
hospitable city of Sank Centre as
the place for holding the winter
meeting, and upon their latest in
vasion last week the scribes found
that Main Street had lost none of
its charm. It isn't every city that
can boast Mrs. Stewart, an Asa
Wallace and a DR.. Dubois.
At the State Home School for
Girls where the editors were the
guests of Mrs. Mary Stewart, sup
erintendent, program was pre-
scented that made the editors mar
vel at the wonderful work this
state institution is doing for hui
mainly.
The banquet at the Community
Club is an event always looked
forward to at Sank Centre. Here
the Herald Angels Sing, Asa scin-
tillates and DR.. Dubois electrifies.
An outstanding feature of the
program that was enthusiastically
received was the talk by Rudolph
Lee of Long Prairie on the tsMin-
nesota Plan" of farm aid that he
and some hundred other rural
newspapermen are sponsoring

fifteen to twenty years and all of whose quail
fcations have been reviewed within the past
four years by Governor Christensen before he
appointed or reappointed them), is that they
do not know what is going on"-"three-
fourths of the regents are not familiar enough
with matters to act intelligently." The Re
gents, in their statements before the House
and Senate committees, showed that more than
one of the alleged analyses of University fig
ures submitted by the "Big Three" involved
something perlously close to deliberate mis-
representation.
Representative Henry A. Johnson ('20:'21L)
voiced the sentiment of the alumni when he
protested, as member of the House Appro-
priations Committee against any effort to make
the University political football.
There are enough Statesmen in Minnesota's
legislature to make short shrift of the smoke
screen squad and to settle down to consid-
Grafton of the University's case on its merits.
The University is the servant of all of the peo-
pie of Minnesota, as teaching center, as re-
search center, and as a center applying spec
ialized knowledge to the immediate needs of
citizens of the State. The representatives of
the people in the Legislature can be relied up
on, this session, as in all previous sessions, to do
the fair thing for the University.

Editorial Comment

The Northern MINI Editorial
association met at Sank Centre
Friday and Saturday. In spite of
the blizzard which no doubt kept
many at home the attendance was
good. 1t was an enjoyable meet
ing and the renewal of friendships
and acquaintance was not the least
of the pleasurable Incidents. At
noon Friday the party was enter
tanned at the Home School at
lunch. This excellent institution
is doing splendid work under the
direction of Mrs. Mary Stewart.
The school population is now 273
with 800 girls out in the state
on parole. The work done at the
school is calculated to train the
girls for useful life work and the
records shows that better than rs
per cent of them go out to make
successful home makers or in Other
ways to become useful and valua-
BILE members of society. After the
luncheon girls of the school put on
program of music and also a
style show to illustrate the sewing
done at the school. The editors
were much impressed with the
school and it's work. AT the dinner
served at the Commercial Club
rooms Friday night, very large
number attended. The Episcopal
ladies served the banquet and Asa
Wallace presided as POSTMASTER.
With his clever humor he kept
things moving in a lively manner.
There were a number of talks by
DIR. j. A. Dubois, introduced as
Sank Centres "first" citizen, and
''the only democrat in the state
now at large" George w. Chris
tie, of Red Lake. Falls, was elected
president of the association and
Asa Wallace, of Sank Centre, Sec
rotary and treasurer. Sank Centre
is one of the fine little cities of
Minnesota. 1t has developed fast
the past few years though living
somewhat in the reflected glory of
its illustrious son, Sinclair Lewis,
author of Main Street, neverthe-
less it has hustled itself into a
very progressive and up to date
town. 1t has an unusually live
community organization with club
rooms which make it envied by
all neighboring cities.-Long Prai-
RE Leader.
