Glossy Hair.

Glossy Hair.
There is permanent and a tempo
rary way TO achieve glossy hair. OF
course, you want the permanent way,
but there are times when you have to
use any substitute toward quick dress
ing up of yourself, an emphasizing of
your best points. So I'll give you two
suggestions.
The temporary way to glossy hair, OF
course, is with brilliantine. There are
lots of these lotions on the market;
they are nothing really but oil refined
to high degree. OF course, even the
best Of them will make the hair greasy
after a few days. But, for a time, the
mousiest, drllest and drabbeSt hair will
shine and CLEAN in a most becoming
fashion. AS for the brilliantine, being
oil, perfumed and refined, it cannot hurt
the hair or the scalp. But you must be
warned to. use only little. A drop or
two on the palm of the hand, which is
then rubbed over a clean hair brush. is
enough. The hair is brushed with this
and the oil goes into 1t and IL can be
combed or set and will look lovely.
The permanent way is brushing, also,
and rubbing fairly vigorously with the
fingers. You have to do 1t every day,
and do 1t thoroughly. You should have
two brushes, preferably a pair Of mans
brushes; you should bend over and
brush the hair every which way, letting
the deep bristles Of the brush clean and
stimulate the scalp. Then with the
fingers work over the scalp, so as to
keep it loose and to stimulate the circu-
lation Of blood up into the roots Of the
hair.
TODAY'S DIET.
This Is the third day Of the ls-day
diet. Breakfast as always-Half grape
fruit, slice of toast and coffee.
Luncheon-Haf q grapefruit, lots of
lettuce, one egg, six slices Of cucumber,
tea or coffee.
Dinner-One lamb chop, one egg,
three radishes. two olives. one half
grapefruit, lettuce, tea or coffee.
I'd suggest eliminating the cucumber,
having two cooked eggs for lunch and
none for dinner

Useful Buttermilk.

How wish every woman knew how
useful buttermilk is! In England and
IN most European countries they feed
1t to the pigs or throw it away-this
delicious, thick and most healthful of
drinks. Then they pay large sums for
fancy kinds of milk with Bulgarian"
or similar bacilli in, for liver or COM
plexion or colonic complaints. How
stupid of them!
Buttermilk is not as much used in
our country as 1t used to be. I think
1t remains too cheap-the fancy kinds
OF milk with fancy names and higher
prices are more impressive. In the
most expensive restaurants I can still
get glass Of buttermilk for 10 or IS
cents; the other kinds are 30 to 4Ol
But there is nothing like it for clearing
skin which is a bad color or which
has broken out because Of liver or
colonic troubles. Try It'll Externally.

Brittle Tingernails.

Dear Miss Leeds: I read your beauty
column every day and ind 1t very in
teresting and helpful. I am sure you
can help me with my beauty problems,
as you have many others with theirs,
My fingernails always were in good
shape and never brittle until Just re-
Gently, and now they are very brittle
and split. Could you tell me the cause
Of this and how can cure them?
M. j. B.
Answer-Brittle flngernails are quite
often an indication that ones general
health is not up to par, so 1t would be
wise for you to find out If the condi-
ton is warning signal in your case.
Then check up the local treatments
tina. you have been using. Do you use
a liquid nail polish that would cause
this trouble? There are various types
on the market, and while they are suit
able for one type Of nails, they do not
seem to suit each and every type OF
nail. Choose q reliable nail polish or
use a paste polish until your nails are
in better condition. Squeeze some cold
cream under each nail at night, leav-
ing it on until morning. Bind small
piece of clean gauze around the nails
at bedtime, after oiling them. In ad-
dition, soak the fiingertips in warm
olive oil several times week and have
your manicurist give you o special oil
manicure at regular intervals as this
helps greatly In making the nails
tougher when they are inclined to be
brittle and split. LOIS LEEDS.

Answer-You are about IS pounds
overweight for your age and height and
this may have something to do with
the excessive perspiration. Perhaps you
need to adjust your diet and take more

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.
Cold Meat.

Well cooked. cold meat possesses q
certain characteristic flavor that Is
not to be found in the same meat served
hot. It Is not necessarily betterAbut
1t is different, and good cold meat,
served now and then, adds that bit of
variety to the diet that We all crave.
Moreover, a meat loaf or roast in
the cold closet or refrigerator means
the backbone Of q meal that will be
easy to prepare. If you like to have
Sundays and holidays free from much
kitchen work, then know the value of
cold boiled or baked ham, some cold
boiled mutton, beef loaf or some
pressed chicken or veal. These things
may be made ready the day before,
and, with hot baked potatoes or potato
salad, make a meal that IL good ex-
cuse for dinner.
A good jellied beef loaf calls for five
pounds Of shin, with dash of sage,
thyme and mace, and salt and pepper
to taste. A more highly favored, jel-
lied beef calls for five pounds Of beef,
one tablespoonful Of vinegar, one tea
spoonful Of onion Juice, salt, pepper,
mace, sage and thyme to taste, and
three tabiespoonfuls Of gelatin.

James Mcneil Whistler, the great
American painter and etcher. equally
celebrated as a wit, was extremely caus-
tic in his comments on human beings,
but when animals were concerned, espe-
cially dogs, he was considerate. The
following anecdote proves that Whis-
tier understood dogs.
The painter, then In London. went
with Howard Paul one day to call upon
a friend who owned an alarmingly huge
dog. This animal ran out at them
precipitately. Paul, alarmed, prepared
to retreat.
Don't be afraid" said Whistler. eff
you will look at his tail, you will see
that 1t is wagging. When a dog wags
his tail he is in good humor."
THAT may be true" said Paul. whose
gaze was fastened on the open jaws and
eyes, "but observe the wild glitter in
his eyes. I don't know which end to
believe"
The dog didn't bite them, which
shows that Whistler had a good under
standing Of canine behavior.
The most famous anecdote regarding
Whistler and animals concerns the
painter and his pet poodle. He was ex-
travagantly fond of this creature,
though it does not seem to have pos
sessed any points Of particular excel
lence.

Diet for Children.


Lots of mothers write me and ask If
their fat children should be put on a
diet. I always answer: why not?"
The baby rolling in flesh is usually
very healthy, but as he or she de-
velops into childhood, that flesh should
turn to muscle, and q good figure,
rather than a fat one, should result.
Too much fat can be q definite all
ment with q child, as with q grown
person.

diet. Usually It eats what it Is given;
that is, 1t viii make little difference
whether the potatoes are plain boiled,
or friend. Boiled potatoes are not
nearly 30 fattening as fried, as you
know. A child will eat beef with as
much pleasure as the too-fattening pork
or ham, and a boiled egg with as much
relish as one fried with fat bacon.
You can also give child plain pud-
dings and sponge cake, rather than
complicated, fattening buildings full OF
sugar and cream, and cake with layers
Of chocolate icing. It may protest, but
