a few treatments, if necessary, before

a mild liquid shampoo suited to your
type of hair Remember that perma-
nently waved hair needs just as much
care to keep it at its best as it did before
requires more. So do not make the mis-
take that so many girls and women
make and neglect the scalp massage
and brushing the hair regularly for fear
of spelling the wave. I shall be pleased

Reasons for Child's Home Tasks

Adults find it difficult to do things
about house arbitrarily without know

that children, who are always asking

ders without knowing reasons. This
does not mean that busy mother has
to be continually explaining things to
her offspring but that reasons for new

A metal clothes hamper painted in
pastel shades is shown in the upper left
of the illustration, and it would be diff
ficult to find hamper which would be
more nearly ideal for the modern bath
room. Those Of papier mache and
wicker are all very lovely, but thes
might not last as long as metal. The
fact that this holder may be freshened
up with a coat or two of paint and a
floral design is also in its favor.
The three other articles are for chill
dren'S rooms. No more do we shove
into their rooms those articles for which
we have no further use in the rest of
the house, thinking that the children
won't know the difference" You
would find it a lot more fun to put your
toys away in basket with juvenile de-
signs like that in the lower right than
in an ordinary wicker one. And waste
paper is much more likely to be kept in
one place If there Is a basket with a
rabbit or kitten decoration to. put it in.
Then there is that waste basket with

Treatments for Oily Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds: Cd What treat
ment or shampoo would you recommend
for my hair? 1t is inclined to be oily.
CD Is there anything that 1 can do to
make it wavy besides having it mar
celed every week? (3) Is there any
thing that can use that will make it
hold the wave longer? 80 What can
do to make my hair grow quickly and
make it thicker? ETHEL r.
Answer-G) Wash your hair every
week with a reliable shampoo liquid,
such as CASTLE soap liquid, olive oil,
cocoanut oil or liquid tar shampoo.
There are a number of good shampoo
preparations on the market. Always
use soap in the liquid form for washing
your hair. After Wetting your hair
thoroughly, apply the shampoo lather
and work it through the hair with the
tips of the fingers. Rub the scalp Wig
orously also. Rinse it we'll in tepid
water and larher again if the hair is
excessively oily. Be sure to rinse every
particle of soap from the hair. Dry 1t
by rubbing it between warm towels, then
finish drying it off in the fresh air and
give it sun bath.
ca You may have permanent wave
put in your hair, or you may use kid
curriers' at night.
80 Moisten your hair with a curling
fluid, and this will help to keep the
wave in longer. You may obtain a
curling lotion ready prepared, or make
your own at home of the following in
gradients: FlaXSeed or ounce seed, 8
drains; cologne water. ounce; oil of
cloves, IL drops; oil of lavender, IL
drops; water, pint Soak the seeds in
the water and bring it to boil; let
them remain in the water overnight.
In the morning. strain off the liquid
and add the other ingredients to the
resulting mucilage. More cologne or
rose-water may be added until thinned
out sufficiently if the lotion appears too
thick. LOIS LEEDS.

oxide should be diluted with sufficient
water to avoid injuring the outer coat
ing of the hair. One or two table
spoonfuls of peroxide mixed with two
or more quarts of water is strong
enough to brighten and tighten blond
hair.
(2) If your hair and scalp are in
good condition when the permanent
is given, it should not injure the
hair in any way, provided that you give
it the proper care after the wave has
been put in. If, however, your hair
appears too dry, your scalp too tight, or
if you have excessive dandruff, should
advise having the hair and scalp re-
conditioned before having the wave.

AT 20

Douglas Fairbanks, jr., plays
the leading male role opposite
Billie Dove in lone Night at
Susie's," the attraction now at
Warner Bros Earle Theater. In
addition to being an actor OF as
sured attainments, he has proven
his ability both as a .caricaturist
an daS writer.
Fairbanks was born in New
York city, December 8, 1909, the
son of Douglas Fairbanks and
Beth Sully. He was educated in
private schools, both in this coun-
try and in Europe.
Young Fairbanks early demon
strated an unusual talent for
drawing. At the age of 9, he
made a caricature of Raymond
Hitchcock. which was used on
billboardS announcing the Hitch.
cock plays.
After a period spent in France,
Mrs. Fairbanks, who had been di-
vorced, returned to Pasadena,
Calf, where Douglas, jr., was en-
rolled in a private school, al
though his interest was still cen.
tered in the study of art under
European masters. In the order
that his talent might be culti-
waited in the most congenial envi-
ronment, Mrs. Fairbanks and her
ambitious son located once more
in Paris, where they became
familiar figures in the Latin
Quarter. Although by no means
affluent, Mrs. Fairbanks made
sure that her son had every ad-
vantage of technical training in
the arts.
The motion picture debut Of
young Doug came in 1922. when
he was engaged for Stephen
Steps Out" Even in this early
production, he gave evidence Of
the talent that since has been
recognized in series of success

In THE Barker" the first of
the part-dialogue First National
pictures, Douglas showed himself
to be we'll adapted to the talking
screen. He followed this with ap-
pearances in "A Woman of AT
fairs" The Careless Age" Fast
Life" THE Forward Pass" "
Loose Ankles" and "One Night
at Susie'S." He gave another
splendid performance in The
Dawn Patrol" also a First Ma
tional picture starring Richard
Barthelmess. He is married to
Joan Crawford.
