Successful Hair Curling

A LEAST half Of the time spent
on practical work by the prospec-
tive beautician who is student at the
beauty school, is devoted to learning
the art of curling hair. To acquire CO.
ordination of the muscles necessary
for successfully curled hair much me-
chanical skill must be developed.
The growing insistence upon stressing
individuality has given the beautician
new problems to solve, for she must
understand facial outlines and contours
II she would produce waves that will be
individual enough to suit each patron.
Among the waves which are taught
i'm the beauty school today are mar
ceiling, water waves, finger waves,
paper curling, end curls, round curls
and permanent waving.
Although hair curling has become
an almost universal custom the trend
Of the times seems to advocate styles
that emphasize individuality. For this
reason the beauty student learns

different styles for each patron.

Long Skirts, Short Goats

WHAT sort of coat to wear with the
formal afternoon gown is a vex-
atious problem. With dresses of even
hemline extending only inches or so
below the knee, it may be solved by
the full-length coat. But you can't
wear a coat of this length with the
long skirt and not look dowdy unless
1t follows the lines Of the dresc, The
best answer here is generally conceded
to be the short coat of the same color

THE day after Christmas finds the
stores almost as crowded as the day
before. Women are out spending their
Christmas checks. For nothing restores
a woman's shopping faculties more eff
fectively than the possession of gen.
erous Christmas check. After weeks of
strenuous buying for other people she
at last is to experience the thrill Of
buying something for herself.
Some women think Immediately Of
something for self-adornment. Others
prefer to adorn their homes and thus
share the gift with others.
Perhaps these generous souls really
get the most fun and enjoyment out Of
their Christmas money. In its expend-
iture they do not feel called upon to
consult the taste Of any one else In the

Undoubtedly what a woman wants
most is some non-eSsential accessory
some furnishing that she has denied
herself for years because it was posi-
bic to get on without it. Yet how much

after years Of study of naturally curly
hair. For years he kept his method q
secret, but as he grew older he impaired
1t to others and its popularity spread
until it became q part of the duty of
every beauty operator. 1t is now done
with the marching iron and q comb
instead of fingers.
With our desire for speed and the
rush of modern times came an inten-
sive study of hair structure and perma-
nent waving was the result. Research
work demonstrated how many kinds OF
hair there are. how the cells Of natur-
ally curly hair differed from straight
hair and how the hair could be
stretched and the cells flattened after it
was softened with chemicals and baked
with electricity into permanent curls.
AS O. close second to permanent waves
came the demand for comb waving and
water waving. It has become so pop
ular that BARRIERS with sufficient knoWl-
edge Of contours have been able to en-
large their clientele and their bank
rolls by learning only these three
methods.

Heels May Vary
With OCCUPATION

Some girls are fiat-footed, even in
childhood, but many more acquire fiat
feet during the first few wears of mar
ried life as q result Of prolonged stand
ing incidental to homework. Standing
actually puts more strain on the feet
than walking and Is fatiguing not only
to feet and legs. but to the entire body.

rather debilitated, Is q result Of the Sc

more important still is the choice of
right shoes--and this means shoes
suited TO the occasion. Once the opin-
ion was prevalent that harm came from
changing the height Of the heels

Ing for tennis and high heels In the
shows that this change in itself does
no harm.
For tennis and gymnasium work,
where the entire foot must have free
play, low heels are necessary, while for
walking somewhat higher heel would
be more comfortable and really better
for the foot. Needless to say, a really
high heel is uncomfortable and injuri-
Gus for prolonged walking.
The flTmness and stability of the heel
are q factor that is as important to
consider in the walking shoe as actual
height. A moderately high heel that Is
straight and firm and keeps the. feet
from wabbling Is better than a lower
heel that does not give the foot a frm
support. High heels Of cheap construc-
ton that slips forward or sidewise
with every step can do serious injury
and may result in soreness of the leg
muscles as well as injury to the feet

fectly free play of all the muscles of
