It is perfectly harmless for
her to turn the dryer on your
hair at the last minute, just to
make sure that the dampness is
out Of it. But the dryer should
not be used until the actual
moisture has been sopped up
with towels.
You might sometime try a
dry shampoo, if someone calls
you up at the last minute and
you have to hurry out, and look
your best just the same.
Although I do not approve OF
them as a general thing, at
times they will not prove harm
full. There are a number OF
cleaning fluids, popularity called
"dry shampoos", but they aren't
technically dry. Th ese are
poured over the hair and
allowed to dry.
The only objection to them is
the odor. They smell much like
cleaning fluids used for dresses.
The odor, however, leaves the
hair in a short time, and the
hair comes out clean and shiny.
Dry Shampoo
Orris root and corn meal
have been popular for years.
They are Sprinkled over the
hair and then brushed out.
And the dirt and oil goes
with them. If you are giving
yourself a dry shampoo with
either one of the above meals,
however, you will find it diff
ficult to brush out. And it
would hardly do to let your
hair remain a dusty color.
The trick in this kind Of
shampoo is to know the secret
of correct brushing, and to
know the quantity of meal to
put on the hair. If too little
is put on, the oil will absorb
it-when, of course, the re-
verse should be true. An
other product that is used to
give this kind of shampoo is
bran. It is usually used in
preference to either of the
other white meals, on dark
hair.
For excessively oily hair,
equal parts of cornmeal and
orris root and a little pow
dered camphor, mixed together,
form an excellent dry sham
poo. Those large salt sellers,
part of your kitchen depart
ment, are good for holding this
dry shampoo and will also serve
to sprinkle it evenly over the
hair.

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Invitation

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have been invited out to a
camp for a weekend. The
people who invited me have
asked re to bring friend with
me. Would it be perfectly all
right for me to ask a young
man to go with me, if it is con-
venient for the owners Of the
camp?
I am not engaged to this boy,
but we are very good friends.
The owners of the camp have
told me that it would be con-
Venient for them, but I want to
know if it would be in keeping
with correct manners?
The owners of the camp are
an elderly couple. M.
You must find out first from
these kind people if it would
be convenient for them if you
invited a young man to come
with you. Their household ar.
rangements might not be con-
venient for this. Thank them
for their gracious and generous
invitation, say that you would
be delighted to invite a friend
to come with you as they sug-
gest, and then ask them if you
should invite girl or a boy,
and which would be convenient
for them. Then you will be
guided by their answer.
If this is the first time that
you have visited them, I sug-
gest that you invite a girl to go
with you; just take it for granted
that this would be more con-
venient.

Shall She Tell Him About
Her Past

I wonder how many Of my
readers will agree with me about
a girl who has one Of ife's
hardest problems to consider.
know nothing of her past
life, whether she has been mar
ried, divorced, or called upon to
face that most crucial test OF
mother love-a young unmar-
ried girl with a child to care for.
She doesn't tell me anything OF
her previous history, only this
immediate problem. But here's
her letter:
"Dear Miss Fairfax:
IT am in my middle twenties,
but it seems as # I've lived a
thousand years of bitterness.
Real happiness is offered me at
last, but it looks like one more
hope come to mock me.
Il love a man as only a love
starved creature can. Some
times when see famished out
casts gazing in at a window full
of delicious-looking food, I have
felt like them. Only, my hun
ger is loneliness, and the food
on the other side of the pane
is life and love. Unexpectedly,
these things were offered to me
but there is still the thick
glass between me and happi-
ness.
IF I were to tell you Of my
life, you'd think I was trying
to Sell a tale of sorrow; it has
been so hard, so cruel. The one
bright spot in my life is my
little son, aged three. He lives
in the country with some people
who love him as their own. I
work in a nearby city, pay his
board regularly and dress him
as comfortably as any child. I
see him and spend one day a
week with him, and when he
comes to the gate and calls
Mummy my troubles are for
gotten.
Naturally I'm reticent and
7 have never talked of Sonny
at the office or among my busi-
ness associates. My private life
I have felt is my own. The man
who has asked me to be his
wife knows nothing of my child
when told him there were
things in my life he couldn't
forgive, he brushed them aside
with: Then, don't tell me-1ll
take you as you are But I
feel if he married me that
Sonny must make his home
with us. You answered letter
of mine once before-you've
probably forgotten it, but I still
have it. Please let me hear
from you again. NINA"
You will, of course, tell this
man about Sonny, and I have
a feeling that everything is go
ing to be all right, and you'll
have Sonny with you every day
instead of that one a week. It
is unthinkable to imagine you
marrying without being abso-
lutely frank about everything.
If you married without tell
ing about the boy, instead of
the joy he is to you now, he
would become whip held over
your head. Your constant fear
would be that your husband
might hear of him from some
one else. In a few years lou
will have to consider the ques-
ton of the boys schooling
the business of secrecy presents
too many obstacles.
This man has waved aside
the question of your past life;
take him at his word and tell
him. I've a feeling it will turn
out well-that's the only course.
Do my readers agree with me?

Too Fair for Sleep

100 FAIR 1Or SAecp
Too fair for sleep, this night.
The moon rides hi. =,
And swiftly fleet on fleet Of
white clouds sail
Along the tranquil ocean of
the sky;
Each galleon for a moment
draws its veil
Across that still, bright face
men call a world
Grown dead and cold, forget

A moment, then its glory Is
unfurled
To wake strange thoughts no
language can express.
Too fair for sleep, and so old
dreams return,
Vague dreams whose Splendor
troubled many a breast
When earth was young and

SUMMARY DISMISSAL
OF U. S. WORKERS HIT
Civic Group Urges Abandonment
of Practice of Giving No
Written Notice.

Deploring the fact that Civil Service
employees are now dismissed without
written notice, the Takoma Park Cit
izens' Association, meeting last night
at the Takoma Park Library, went on
record in resolution requesting that
months written notice be given before
any change In their status could be ef-
fective.
The president ordered the secretary
to forward copies of the petition to
President Roosevelt, the District Com
missioners and Congress.
DR.. Stephen E. Kramer, assistant su-
perintendent of public schools, outlined
the growth of the District high school
system, with emphasis on the conges-
ton now existing in the class rooms.
Some OF these students are being taken
care of by staggered schedules. DR..
Kramer explained that with the expan.
sion of the city still more children may
be expected to attend the senior schools.
The possibility Of a high school tn
the vicinity of Takoma Park was given
weight when DR.. Kramer said the De-
partment realizes the need and desires
to cooperate with the citizens to erect
one there in the near future.
A resolution was adopted commend
ing the School Board on the way in
which it met the economic situation
and the teachers upon their spirit of CO.
operation.
A letter is to be sent to the Commion-
erS asking that Fern place between
Blair road and the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad right of way be repaired.

ny tLc ASSOCIateQ fTeSS.
Representative Britten, Republican,
Of Illinois is advocating a special ses-
sion Of Congress If the eighteenth
amendment is repealed, in order to in
crease the $1.10-a-gallon tax on whisky.
Meantime, Frank Clark, president Of
the National Association of Retail Bev-
erage Dealers. said reasonable State
regulation of the liquor industry was a
better means to achieve temperance
than all the prohibitory laws that
could be enacted by the Congress or
State Legislatures"
Sees Action Imperative.
when the thirty-sixth State conven-
ton ratifies repeal" Britten, long a
leader of the House wet bloc said, "the
tax on distilled spirits and wines auto
matically reverts to $110 q gallon until
such time as Congress raises this figure
to an amount which will approximate a
tax of q billion dollars year from both
beer and distilled spirits.
Il would not be surprised If the
President calls us in special session to
40 this, otherwise the country will be
stocked with distilled spirits from home
and abroad in order to get this very low
rate of taxation"
Britten said If the session were called
early in December Congress could enact
new internal revenue rates on liquor and
bring into the Treasury an additional
100000 ,0O0."
