BEAUTY CHATS
New Long Hair.

A nuisance. letting the hair grow.
But. fortunately, only the very young
women are doing it, those to whom
long hair is a novelty. and some older
women who find that very compli-
Gated. or a very sophisticated style of
dress suits them best. The new longer
skirts. the elaboration of evening
gowns. the general richness of all our
dressier clothes, is a part of this-a re-
action against youth, tailored simplicity
and short skirts. They had their day
but their day is not completely over
and their influence will go on for a
long time vet. Well not go back to
the bondage of long skirts and long
hair until our next burst of complete
insanity-some years hence. We have
these bursts every now and again and
get over them.
So please yourself about letting your
hair grow, You needn't. American
women, who go in for fads much more
violently than the continental women
who inspire the fads, are the only ones
letting theirs grow to any noticeable
extent. Very few of the smart French
and English people whom one sees at
correct" social gathering places wear
long hair. Their daughters, do, though
The growing process is complicated
though made easier by using a tonic to

having a fairly tight permanent wave
given when the hair has grown down
about an inch below the ears. The
wave takes up length and gives you a
| chance to comb the hair in several
new fashions-for instance, back from
| the face, to simulate the long hair style
while the ends are still short and curled
under. AS the wave comes out loosely
and the hair grows naturally, the ends
ha nQnoht
fine, small combs. And eventually pin
ned into real knot.
Miss M. G.-The hair should be
shampooed before you apply a bleach
as there should not be any oil or dust
do this sort of thing have the bleaching
done for them the first time and then
go ON with the work themselves if
need be.
P. A. P.-After adult age, hardly any
thing could be done that would correct
bow legs, as the bones are no longer
plastic. Braces force the bones into
shape If they are used in childhood. If
you dance well no one will notice that
your legs are not straight, because the
grace of your movements will be all
that any one would be conscious Of.
When seated, place one foot before the
other and learn to walk with your feet
straight ahead, just as If you were walk

Black Eyes-Until your hair is long
enough to gather it together in the
back, use fasteners or clasps to hold
the strands close to the sides of your
head. When very young person like

And she had little Use for small bovs

stances.
"FritZie, you must apologize tn Aunt
Tillie this minute"
Fritzie scowled at the wreck in his
hands and made no sign of repentance
This was awful.
"Fritzie, you heard what said. Either
you apologize for what you said tn vo,,r
Aunt Tillie this minute or I'll throw that
thing in the fire and you won't get an
other one in hurry. Come right over
here. Now you do what I say"
FTitzie choked and swallowed. Then

Tillie. But you hadn't orter've SAT-"
Leave the room, Fritzie. I'm sure
Aunt Tillie will accept your apology in
the spirit in which it was offered hut
I'm ashamed of you"
1t is very hard to get out of a tight
place like that and mother did Very
we'll under the circumstances. once She
had discovered her plight. But what I
want to point out is that there is no
sense in telling child to apologize to
a groWn-up person. 1t is far more likely
to do more harm than good
Repentance is an emotion that is
truly good for the soul that has sinned
but repentance comes not at the he
hest of another. It comes through a
realization of the wrong one has done.
The best way to get child to see that
he was wrong Is to wait until the mood
has passed and he is in that melloWed
mood that usually follows wrongdoing
Then as wisely as gently, and as
honestly as possible explain the situa-
ton to the child.
Aunt Tfllie is fat. She hates to be
told about it. 1t hurts her feelings. When
you hurt a persons feeling you some
how hurt your own soul. Perhaps it is
because you have cut off some of the
love that was loaned it by other kindly
souls. Love is very precious and great
~ needed. The more you shed of II
the more you will get. And you need
such a lot.
Nobody would like to hurt Aunt Tillie
She didn't see the airplane and II
really ought not to have been on a
chair in the living room. It embar-
raised poor Aunt Tillie so. People hate
to sit down on other folks things that
way. And then to be called fat by an
angry little boy. Too bad. Poor Aunt
| Tillie.
Maybe next time you see her you
can do something nice to show her
| that YOU really like her That Vol
wouldn't for the world hurt her. Eth?
Maybe you could think up something
to do that would please her and show
her your good will before you saw her?
| That's a boy.
Any emotion reused in child ought
to be spent in action. Words are
empty and often clothe hypocrisy. Make

Everyday Psychology
What Are You?
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

If you take a good look at yourself
you will discover that you are nothing
but an organization of your own pet
notions about what you would like to
be. This self-organization of self-ideas
has been going On ever since you were
a mere youngster. Naturally lot of
1t has taken place unconsciously, for
the ideas themselves were at first very
vague.
At one time, assuming that you are
male, you thought you would like
to be a policeman That was because
tests against the authorized wielder
of the hickory stick who presided over
family affairs. If you are a female,
the same vague complaints became
organized around the so-called teach
ing profession, which is another symbol
of authority.
AS you grew older you got other
notions perhaps. Perhaps! For most
people never stray far from the
authoritative life-plan. But whatever
your self-ideas were, they constituted
finally, to settle down to what is called
a vocation, you hardened to the loud
est of the calls" from your uncon-
sciouS to give your picture of your
self place where it could be seen of
men.
However, all this may be, you need
only to check up on the personalities
about you. You can nearly always tell
who's who by the way he talks and
walks. It must be poor observer who
fails to pick out preachers, teachers
and soldiers. even when you take away
all the trappings and suits Of their
professions
On the other hand it is hard to pick
criminals. In criminal cases the sense
of self is so small that it rarely asks
for room on the atage of life charac-
tiers; that's one reason why burglars
are afraid of lights.

NEW YORK, May 26.-NewS per-
tanning to business this morning is
quite colorless. However. in the week
end reviews and press comment gen.
orally there is noticeable under
tone of cheerfulneSS. Sentiment
seems to be veering more plainly to
the constructive views. Particularly
significant is it that this feeling is
shared by conservative and practical
industrialistS. While not as definite
in predictions as washington has
been, there is no mistaking the fact
that they believe trade revival is as
sured. Just when it may develop,
naturally no promise is Forthcoming.
We may we'll ask ourselves just
what is the basis for this more optl-
mistic sentiment, for certainly no
concrete evidence of any change in
business has appeared. While busi-
ness has not receded, We can not say
It has expanded particularly. Posi-
bly, it is the belief that all the I'M
favorable angles of trade are known.
Perhaps it is the assurance that
from business will soon be lifted the
uncertainty of legislation. No mat
ter what 1t is, to witness the action

Mrs. Breedlove will be tried

neglect for her abandonment of the
child on a country road near In

Harrison's withdrawal, his motion
said, was ION account of the char

reason I am not in sympathy with
the movement to make a heroine

Miss Bess Robins was appointed
by the Indianapolis Bar Association
to aid the mother. She announced
