Loug hair grows six inches
a year and fluffs away at the
ends six inches a year, always
remaining the same length.
The reason why the ends of
the hair are lighter in color
and the reason why the ends
split are because the points are
dead tissues, done for and on
their way.
Plump gals have not fallen
for the nipped-ip waistline,
thus exhibiting GOOD sense and
liberty Of opinion. The high
line accentuates body width.
It is only for the slender dar-

the thighs. If there is any

WHEN they whizzed down the
" long slide, Ardeth clinging
breathlessly, with tightly shut
eyes to Ken, they found Tom
waiting at the end of the rum
way.
He turned on Ken, laughing
but jealous. "You highbinder!
Switching a ride!"
There followed a scuffle in
the snow, which became a free
for-all when Fred and Bill Lane
were dragged into it.
More breathtaking rides
first with one then the other.
SNOWFALL fights when the men
pelted the girls and were Sc
cretly amazed at the vigor of
their defense,
Thens a peaceful twilight
hour, when dusk drove them
back to the cabin to sit around
the stove drying their wet feet.
Stamped forever on Ardeth's
memory, this hour. She lay
back in a low wicker chair,
comfortably tired in body, but
alert in mind. Alive to the
strange peace Of it all. The
last thick daylight Straining
through the turkey red curtains
at the window. Smell of pine
smoke and fresh lumber and
wet wool drying. Laughing, ef-
fortleSS talk. The sprawIing
figures about her-a lazy grace
in the slim bodies in the rough
sport clothes.
And under everything-the
thrilling consciousness of Ken.
Tall and trim, with the con-
fident poiSe of head, he made
Fred Eastwood look thick and
clumsy. Ken's serviceable rough
neck sweater and high-laced
boots made Bill Lanes elabo-
rate sports outfit ridiculous.
All evening her love was a
magnet, drawing her close to
him. Thrilling just to be beside
him, feeling that he was tire

TIMELY WORDS
ON PROPER
ETIQUETTE
DEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. Recently I attended a So
cial event where I was prac-
tically q stranger. My host
escorted me and q friend into q
room where both ladies and gem
tlemen were seated. He pre-
sented me first to the gentle
men and then to the ladies.
and my friend to the ladies
and then the gentlemen. Was
this correct or should he have
presented me to the ladies
first?
2. Should q gentleman pre-.
cede a lady when leaving q
room, q theater or q restau-
rant?
8. Please criticize my sta
tionery, letter-form and Eng
liSh? NTTA
Your host should, as you sug-
gest, have introduced you first
to the ladies, and then should
have presented the gentlemen
to you.
2. A gentleman stands aside
and allows a lady to precede
him, when they go from a room.
The custom is; generally, that
the woman follows the head
waiter and the man follows her,
when they enter a restaurant.
To my judgment, this is not so
helpful as when the man follows
the headwaiter so that he may
consult with him as to the posi-
ton of the table that is to be
assigned to them.
In a theater, too, I think
that the gentleman should fol-
low the usher so that he may
see that the usher finds the cor.
rect seats, and so that he may
be in position to help the lady
in to the row in which their
places are. However, the order
in a theater, as in a reStau-
rant, must be determined by
the gentleman, and the lady OBJ
serves which order he is ac-
cuStomed to prefer.
8. Your white, conventional
letter-paper is very good, al
though. to be in better proper
ton with your handwriting, I
think that it should be larger.
One question of grammar:
MY host escorted me and a
friend" should read, MY host
escorted a friend and me-" men
tioning, as it is good form to
do, yourself last.
Also, the word ''letter-paper"
or writing paper" shelter
than Stationery" which in
cludes all the details at a sta
toners, such as pencils, pens,
eraSerS, and so forth.

every inch of his body, though
he kept on talking to Mary or
teased Mazda and Phyllis in
turn. ....
The consciousness Of him put
a silver edge on her own laugh
when she sat beside him at din
ner. Her cheeks took on q
sweet, warm flush. Her hands
moved as she talked like flut-
tering birds. knowing that now
and then Ken's glance came
stealthily around to her with
q look which was a careSs.
In that moment the room re-
ceded to Ardeth and the others
became pale shadows. Only
Ken and herself here " vi
tally alive, thrilling to the mar
velous fact Of each other.
He was hers! She was filled
with pride at once staggering
and humble. Only Ken and
herself here, with this thrill
ingly sweet something playing
like q flame between them.
After dinner they went in a
group to the small town dance.
This was held in the room be-
hind the general store. A long
wooden space, heated by q
barrel stove and aromatic with
the evergreen branches nailed
up for decorations.
Tom looked down at her
tawny head when he had her
for a dance. Like it, Ardeth?"
He had a glowing look for
reply.

there was a serious note in the
mans voice.
Ardeth adopted a purposely
light tone.
"You mean I can have every
thing?" She waved her hand
at the rough store. "Evergreens
and all? Oh-not the ever
green's, Tom! that's too much"
Don't pretend to misunder-

"You know I'm crazy about
you, ArdethI"
"Oh sh.h-hl" She was sud-

LOyelOrn
Youth
By Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on Problems oG
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
A RE you seventeenP or per
A haps nineteen?-or even
sWentyone or twenty-five?
Then you are a member Of .
thrilling new race Of beings,
who are beginning to be known
as the Youngest Generation.
We don't know much about
you, vet. It must be admitted
that your publicity agents are
anything but active. But ! win
confess that we are Just o little
bit in awe of you. And ! viii
tell you why.
You see, for years we have
been hearing so much about
the so-called Younger Genera
tion that we seem to have for
gotten that young people don't
stand still, any more than their
elders do. The boys and girls
who made up that Younger
Generation seemed for a while
the youngest people who had
ever lived, because their youth
was so advertised and because
they were so successful in get
ting everything that they felt
belonged to Youth. They CAPT
talized it, just as I have done,
because they felt, poor children,
that they were Of tremendous
Importance and it was they
alone who could teach their
timid and conservative elders
how life really should be lived.
Year after year went by and
still these very young, young
people continued to enjoy the
"kick" Of being slandered aid
admired, envied, and revile&.
For, naturally, many older
people didn't accept them with
out protest.
But 1t couldn't last, though
that is what some Of us didn't
realize. Suddenly we stopped
hearing their Shrill voices. What
had become of them? Why,
they were marrying, Of course,
like all the rest Of the world,
and settling down and slipping
out of sight.
And their place is being taken
by a new race of youngsters,
which is you-and which is the
Youngest Generation Of all.
You took your place far more
quietly than your predecessors
did. Perhaps you meant to. For
they tell us that you wish to be
different.
After all, that generation that
succeeded in getting itself so
universally talked about did so
partly by virtue of being cour-
ageous and straightforward, but
also partly on the basis of the
hip-f1aSk and the petting party.
And from these last indul.
genceS we hear that your gener-
alton has cut loose. They tell us
that your dislike of strong drink
and Of intoxication is nothing
short Of puritanical, and that
your manner at parties is as
free from reproach as if you
were the youth of the ninetieS.
You are bored and disguised
when anything is carried too
far, whether it's drink or max
ing love or spending money or
making up ones face. ExceSses,
they say, seem stupid to you.
Already, you dear and wise
young creatures, you seem too
good to be true. But we've heard
still more about you.
They tell us you want to be
intelligent. That many Of the
things that were done by young
people five years ago, or ten,
seem silly to you, and that you
want to do your best to skip the
silly stage.

in 1922 was attached to the party OF

In my trip across the continent,

bout which I purchased upon my ar
rival in New York few months ago,
I was amazed to see so few flower gar
dens I was particularly surprised, as
no country in the world has such beau

seem to have greater love for flowers,
either, than the Americans, yet they
don't, as q rule, grow them themselves.
I'm London and its suburbs every Ia

perhaps over here the people are too
busy to give their time to gardens. And
again, many Americans who really can
afford a gardener will think the ex-

spend their money on other things. An

Often they slept out of doors in noun

said were usually clean and comfort

in praise Of American roads, declaring
that he found them excellent practi-
