Me and pop was coming out of the
circus Sattiday, and all Of a sudden
pop stuck his hand in his outside coat
pockit. saying. Blast it to smithereens,
my pockit has been picked. Me think
ing, G, I wonder If mine has? And I
quick felt in my pants pockit and my
nickel was still there, pop saying, Con-
found it to blaZes 1 knew was doing
a boobish thing sticking the change
from 20 doller bill in my outside
pockit when I bawt those checks for

away with his boots on. His name. If
ever known, is soon forgotten, and
others rise to devise fresh means OF
soaring the wits out Of folks.
An automobile race Is thrilling be-
cause the gray phantom CT potential
extinction rushes in the wake Of the
motors exhaust, reaching an itching
talon for those who defy safety. Dare
devils are inadequately compensated
for the risks they take. Prizefghters,
who take practically no risks at all,
receive almost fabulous purses.
The thrill producer regards himself
as an artist. He applies himself to the
perfecting Of a stunt which others are
either unwilling or unable TO practice.
There are fewer of these artists today
than formerly. Occasionally, though,
new "phenom" emerges with fresh
brand Col. Lindbergh furnished the
world with its last great thrill.
Thrills stir the Imagination Of the
onlooker, to be sure. Anything that will
accomplish that seems to us to be
worth while.
Shortly after the war, friend Of ours
new into the effete East. He had been
q lieutenant of aviation. His name was
Ormer Locklear He was quiet, unas-
Stunning, and might have been taken for
bond salesman. We are not sure
that he would not have run just as
hard as the next one in a traff1c con-
geSted thoroughfare. The air was his
domain. Thousands watched Locklear
leap from one plane to another in mid
air or hang by his toes from a rope
ladder, swinging violently in the high
winds. He strutted the wings of his
plane and sat on the rear of his fuselage
with all the ease in the world. He was
sure Of eye and foot. The papers were
soon filled with stories OF the bravery
Of the young Texan who shook hi'
gauntleted flrst at fate. He challenged
destiny once too often and fell with his
ship to his death.

Homemade Marcel.


The problem of the girl with straight
hair, who looks best with slight wave,
who does not like to ruin her hair with
hot iron, is solved by the cheapness
of the water wave combs which every
shop has on sale. For the straighteSt
hair can be given a soft and natural
looking marcel wave these days by the
most inexpert hands.
This is best done just after the sham
poo. Dry the hair as much as you can
by a quick rubbing with a soft warm
bath towel. Part 1t, take your comb
and pull it backward from the parting,
Insert a water-wave comb. Take your
own comb again, pull it forward. With
in two inches or so, insert another
water-wave comb. Continue this pull
ing or combing the hair forward and
back. as a marcel wave goes, holding
it at two-inch spaces with curved
water-wave comb.
Then push these combs together as
much as you can, TO raise the hair a
little from the head and to exaggerate
the marcel. Hold them with hair pins
Turn the ends of the hair under and
cover your head with a silk net cap.
Dry with an electric dryer, If you own
one, or sit out in the sun II 1t Is hot
enough to dry the hair, or near a radia-
time by bending a little over the top Of
an oil stove, which heats an occasion
ally-used spare room in my house. One
reader objected to this method as dan
gerous," but hare never found 1t so );
the flame is far away, and the stove
has a long funnel and a protecting
metal plate that spreads and covers the
wick.
But warm weather permits the best
way Of drying and setting the hair-hot
sunlight. There are setting lotions, by
the way, to keep the wave in longer and
make 1t firmer, but II the hair is nat
urally greasy, they seem to make it oily
in few days.
Chickie-Peroxide will surely bleach
the hairs on your arms II 1t has not lost
its strength. and II you apply It after
you have bathed the skin. Any skin
secretion or any soil will lessen the
bleaching tendency. The fats in dairy
cream are considered especially good
for the skin, but any other nourishing
oil will also be helpful and much pleas
anter to handle.

scheme this very vivid shade may be
used with very pleasing results, where
as she might spoil the effect of her
entire living room by touch OF this
color.
Pots, pans. knife handles, refuse cans
and every detail that one can possibly
imagine claim individual attention in
the way of color selection; but one Of
the most important items is the win
dow, for its treatment must be one
which is simple and in keeping with
the room.
In the illustration Is shown an ideal
window for the kitchen. The shade
is Of glazed chintz with yellow ground
and tiny flowers in red, black and

of yellow organdie to match the back
ground of the chintz, and they are
trimmed with tiny frills of bright red
organdie picoted in black.
