PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP) = The millinery shops and the dressmakers are hooking up more and more with each other. This didn't use to be. You got your dress one place and maybe your coat, but not always. and your hat another, trusting to luck you could match the two and if you couldn't you got some sort of a suitable contrast.
 Now you fix yourself up all in one place and all the matching and blending, or contrasting, is done right under. your very nose. And what , a pleasant state of costumic affairs the change has brought about. M. Jean Charles Worth is so particular about the new hat shop he has just opened for his establishment in the Rue de la Paix that he stays in it himself almost constantly.
 Right now the hatline of off, the-face is out-of- date, being replaced by the beret-type head gear which pulls forward over the brow, or tips slightly to one side or the other, but with same for ward motion. Brown deer skin is favorite Worth material and ante lope is another. Glossy feathers are used for trimming and the lux urious plumage of the Bird of Paradise. Velvet, fur and silky felt are choice materials from which, the seasons smartest models are being made.

How Late Should Bill

But in a few moments the whis- tling died down and Bill finished his work in silence which was most unusual for him.

Bill drowned at his plate and said little during the meal but the way he demolished my house. keepers pumpkin pie treasured me that he was all right physically! I was casting about in my mind to find some way of asking what was wrong when Bill himself planted both elbows on the table and de- manded, Doctor, am I a child or am I not?"
 That was rather poser, for at sixteen and half Bill is still 8 child to his elders but very much of a man in his own eyes. So hedged bit and replied that I should not exactly call him child but what made him ask? And then it all came out with rush.
 It appears that last Saturday Bill took some girl to a dance at the high school and did not get home until after one o'clock in the morning. His father had gone to bed but his mother was sitting up for him. She wanted to know why he was so late, for the dance end ed at midnight and it wouldn't take him more than fifteen min- utes to get home on the twelve o. clock bus. Bill explained that the girl took so long putting on her wraps that they had missed the

bus and been obliged to ask one
 of the older boys to drive them home. And what with seeing both girls home first, and then a final soda at the corner drug store (where Bill had stood host to the other boy), the time had gone by without their noticing. Bill said his mother quieted down at his ex- plantation, "but," he said, "why all
 the fuss? Does she think I'm go- ing to bed at nine o'clock for the rest of my life?"
 Well of course it was bound to come some time. And as a sym pathetic outsider I can see both Bills point of view and that of his parents. Late nights are bad for adolescent boys and girls be- cause they mean loss of sleep which lads to fatigue and irrita- bility. Boys and girls in their teens need more, not less, sleep and rest than they usually get. But after ali they are half grown up and we cannot treat them like babies. An occasional late night at the end of the week. when they can make up for lost sleep the next day, seems to be the wise solution. Besides this physical side of the question, here is the mental side. Unless parents are sympathetical- iy cautious, this business of late nights may be an entering wedge in the separation or parent and child Many a boy or girl has been tempted into deceiving a mother or father by giving a false excuse for lateness. Especially is this true where a firm foundation of mutual confidence has not been built up during the preceding years.
 To go back to Bill and his prob- lem, talked to him quite frankly and let him see that I understood the thrill of ones first dance and dawning independence. At the same time I reminded him that his mothers uneasiness was quite na- tural, since she could not know what had happened. I advised him to talk the question over with both his father and mother, tell ing them exactly how he felt and listening to what they had to say in return. shall make a point of seeing MT. and Mrs. Johnson and urging them to talk to Bill them- selves. This is critical time in Bills growing up process and only frankness and mutual considera- tion vii solve this and other ques- tions which are bound to arise.

DO you think" he went on, speak, ing to the girl and without waiting for an answer, that you feel well enough for all this? Don't you think it would be better to wait-?"
 She brushed aside his scruples. "Pm all right Denise said. q want to know what the police are doing. I want to know what
 they've fcsn nd out"
 Her eyes appealed to Bannister.
 He hesitated, then said, Well, as I told. you, the detectives are working on several lines. There's a new one that came up this after noon." He told them then about
 Joe Parrott-not the whole story as Al Drugan had related it, but the essential facts.
 As he talked it occurred to Ban-
 mister as curious indeed that girl
 like Denise Lang could be asso-
 ciated with anyone who was a
 friend of Al Drugan. Drugan had
 called Tracy King "the best pal a
 fellow ever had" and indicated
 that their friendship was of long
 standing. But Drugan and this girl
 with the golden curls did not speak the same language. They lived in different worlds. How had Tracy
 King climbed from the life Drugan had described to Denise Lang's ex- elusive circle? @
 For at least the dozenth time Bannister thought, '1f only I'd seen King just once while he was alive!"
 He hadn't seen him and there
 was nothign to be done about it. Coleman and Gainey were talking
 now, Coleman asking questions.
 Bannister noticed that Denise
 Lang did not ask questions, though
 she listened intently.
 Without knowing quite why he | did 1t, BanniSter leaned forward again. Miss Lang" he asked,
 when did you first hear about-er. your fiance's death?"
 My father told me-" she said
 Someone telephoned. It was about midnight, I suppose. Father came | to my room and told me" | The words broke off, but Ban-
 mister went on relentless1y. Had

 rupted. 1T glanced at my watch when I got into my car. drove to the club and sat around there | for an hour of so. Then I went
 home. I didn't know what had

 There had been no sound, but | involuntarily all four of them
 looked up. Standing in the open doorway at the side of the room
 was a slender man with gray hair.
 His eyes, dark like Denise Lang's, glowed with anger.

RINSING IMPORTANT IN HAIR
 SHAMPOO

Next to actually getting out all of the dirt and dust, rinsing is the important step in shampoo. Any soapy deposits left on the scalp or hair will cause scaliness and leave your hair streaked and dull.
 It is best to use a liquid sham poo. Rubbing a cake of soap on your hair isn't good for it and makes rinsing difficult. If you do not have a liquid shampoo, why not make one yourself? Simply put small pieces of castillo soap in a jar, add little water and allow it to stand until the soap is melted.
 First, spray out the loose par ticles of dust and then rub on the liquid shampoo. Whisk it around until you have a good father and then rinse it all out. Apply more liquid shampoo soap and begin massaging the scalp with the lather. Make sure that every spot
 on your scalp and every portion of your hair is actually washed clean. Then begin rinsing. You cannot rinse too often. Once or twice isn't enough. To do a thor ough job, you should use at least four basins of clear water. Of course a spray attached to the fau- cet is better than rinsing in a bowl. But if you don't own a spray, take plenty of time and keep refilling the bowl.
 Dry your hair in the sun if you can. Rub it lightly with rough, clean towel and then lift it up with your hands so that the sum- light will shine on the scalp as well as the hair.

I see that the Japanese have
 adopted Christmas as an omciaI holiday. Interesting, isn't 1t, when their three national creeds take no cognizance of Christianity? The reason given is that 1t Is good for the people and stimulates trade. For the same reasons vari- ous peoples all over the world have adopted our Christmas. It IS a good thing. Christmas is a holy day but it is still more than that. It has come to be epic
 in the human temperament, day
 to look forward to, one to look
 back on, a day, a week, a month
 even, when all other events pause
 and we get a chance to catch up
 with ourselves in the excitement
 of the big event.
 I sometimes wonder if Christ had not been born whether or not the races that have since grown up in the Christian religion would not have adopted 8 certain day in the year and called 1t perhaps,
 "Exaltus," for the simple purpose
 of elevating us out of ourselves,
 and giving us an interlude. some
 thing to take us, for a season,
 away from the drab monotony or existence, one of our own conflicts and responsi bilities, and make us as simple and gay as little chil-
 dren again.
 Psychologically it is a great re- lief. If we allow it to exert too much pressure and add extra lines to our faces that is our fault. It is hard for the very poor.
 The last few years many of us feel guilty being happy on Christ mas because it seems to bring, by contrast, still greater wretched-
 ness to the unfortunate. But I be- lieve this attitude to be entirely wrong. Let us go on with our holiday and take these others with
 us. To give all we possibly can, and an opportunity to work.
 These should be an essential part
 of our holiday plan this year. This editorial brings me to the point in question.

"We had dinner together-at the Fremont. didn't see him at all yesterday. We were going to play golf in the morning but l remem- ,bered I'd promised to go shopping so I telephoned and told him not to come. We postponed the golf until this morning"
 Again the words died away in a whisper. In spite of this Bannis- ter felt that the girl was exhibit ing marked control over her feel ings.
 He said-and cursed himself for his brutality as he did it--"Miss Lang, suppose you know there's been talk about girl-the one the police are looking for-who went to Kings rooms last night? sup pose you know"
 Ut isn't true. the girl broke in defiantly. "I mean if she went there it was someone he didn't know. Someone he didn't care any thing about! Tracy King was in love with me! He wouldn't even look at anyone else. Our engage ment was announced last week and we were goig to be married!"
 "Yes, I know" Bannister put in quietly. T know. Miss Lang. All I was trying to get at is whether or not he had ever spoken of any other girl, ever even dropped a hint-?"
 "Never! she insisted. eff girl went to see him last night I don't know anything about her. I don't even want to know"
 
 The shrill peal of the doorbell interrupted. They saw the maid hurrying to answer the bell and all three sat in silence. They heard the outer door opening and closing and a moment later man appeared.
 "Denise-!"
 He was a young man. He stood in the doorway, the single word dying on his lips as he saw Gainey and Rannister.
 Come in, Park" Denise Lang said. These men are from The Post" She said, turning to the others, "This is Parker Coleman"
 Bannister and Gainey. introduced themselves. Parker Coleman was, of course, one of the Colemans whose name figured prominently in Fremont society columns. Ban- mister remembered seeing him years before, only boy then. He had grown into a tall, broad shouldered young man with friendly brown eyes and well cut chin.
 : Coleman greeted the other men easily. He crossed the room to the fireplace and held out his hands to the blaze. Getting cold out, " he announced. There's bad wind from the west" He said it as though he knew perfectly we'll that none of them were interested but he was trying to ease an uncom- fortable situation.
 Bannister nodded. "Yes," he agreed, then plunged directly into the subject at issue. We've been asking Miss Lang a few questions. {"
 Coleman dropped to the sofa be- side the girl.
