Highlights In the Hair

A4SAASAGO 4A OA0 0o4
Dear Miss Shelby:
My hair is blonde but mas
much as It is turning dark
would like to know how to pre-
vent it. wave the sides myself
and curl the ends with an iron.
I have been told that an iron Is
not good for ones hair, but it is
the only way I can get it to look
decent.
Could you suggest another
way to fix it?
How often must one wash the
hair. A. <.
Dear Miss A. K:
The only thing that can be
done for blonde hair that Is
turning dark, is to give it Q
lemon or vinegar rinse after
shampooing. This brings out the
hairs natural lights and makes
it bright. To make it blonde
again you would have to use a
bleach.
I would not advise washing
the hair more than once q week,
if it is oily, otherwise about
every 10 days. Using an iron will
not hurt your hair If you are sure
that it is not very hot when YOU
use it. Test it on paper before
putting it on your hair.
Underweight
Dear Miss Shelby:
Can you tell me the correct
weight for a girl 21R years
old, 5 feet ~ inches tall? I
weigh 113 pounds and am told
I am underweight.
Sincerely, w. B. q.
Dear Miss w. B. g.:
You are considerably under
weight for your age and height.
In fact, you should weigh about
125 pounds. AS you are very
young, however, you will prob
ably take on a little more
weight. Plenty of nourishing
food, fresh air, rest and sleep
will help, too. Three times q
day, add to your meal the fol-
lowing beverage:
Into two or three tablespoons
full Of heavy cream, blend one
heaping tablespoonful Of pure
strained honey. Fill a tall glass
to within two inches Of the top
with whole or unskimmed milk:
fill the glass to the top with gin
ger ale, stirring all together until
the drink foamS. The honey sup
plies wholesome energy, although
it is nonfattening in itself. The
cream adds weight and the gin
ger ale insures easy digestion Of
the cream.

What is the worth of a little
song
No one can truly say,
For sometimes its echoes may
linger long,
And sometimes they die in q
day.
What is the worth Of a smile,
q kiss?
Only a seer could guess;
Though often they bring but q
moments bliss,
Yet all of a life they may
bless.
Who can value a mood, a
word,
A passing strangers glance?
Whether the heart be cold or
stirred
Seems but the work Of chance.
Some must go to the worlds
far ends
Seeking life'S ardent fire;
Others find where their road
first bends
All Of their hearts desire!

before d e.
parture we would-if femi-
nine-be put to the torture Of
putting our hair up in rags"
and if Of the male persuasion,
we were forced to undergo a
wash and polish that made our
skin sore for days afterward.
However, all was forgotten in
the thrilling moment when we
greeted our host or hostess who,
sternly shepherded by Mamma,
seemed to us a complete Stran-
ger, due to fierce politeness and
spotless appearance.
The party" usually consisted
Of playing such games as hide
and-Seek, "button-button-who's
got-the-button," or, among the
more daring, ''post office" or
"clap-in-clap-out." Refreshment
appeared just when the game
began to pail, and we all settled
down to homemade ice cream,
and q large, somewhat topsy-
turvy cake, dripping candle
grease from the pink candles
stuck into it's icing. These We
blew out with great gusto.
In Those Days
# it was a terribly chic party
there were charms in the cake,
which caused much excitement
to the lucky finders. About the
only favorS were paper snap
pers, containing caps, which Ne
donned with much seriousness,
as the eternal badge Of juvenile
whoopee.
After gobbling up all the food
in sight, and even, in the shame
fu case of one little boy, whose
Mortified mother has never
forgiven hiIn-licking the last
of the ice cream off the plates,
and gazing about wistfully,
though futilely for more, we
were escorted home, limp, and
disheveled, in a state of nerv-
Gus exhaustion bordering upon
hysteria.
There we were put to bed, by
an irTitated parent or nurse,
who administered bicarbonate of
soda and sound advice as to
the wisdom of returning earlier,
in future, and not making "a
pig Of yourself, and behaving
like a red Indian"
NOW, all is changed. The
younger generation attends two
or three parties a week, and an
engagement book is part of all
well conducted nurseries. The
girls have decided ideas on their
festal garments. and object when
mother offers suggestions as to
less gaudy jewelry, etc. The
young gentlemen rather look
forward to appearing in sar.
torial Splendor, and there is
great rivalry, even at the ages
Of five and six, as to which is
going to sit on the right Of the
hostess.

ne, relative to the rank they

parties, and the same situation
of the young lady who is placed
by much older boys, Is the
height Of social attainment.
Entertainment Of the most
expensive kind now only pro-
duces bored yawns, and remarks
not at all "sotto voce" to the
effect that the speakers have
seen this marionette show at
least IA times, or that the movie
then being run off is so old it
has whiSkers. Every magician
has his life made a burden by
young smart alecks who an.
nounce that they know exactly
how he does thus and So-"why,
he has it under his coattail all
the time, you goof!"
If an energetic mother
stages a treasure hunt for
prizes, she soon relapses into
a nervous wreck, as her house
and furniture are systemat-
ically demolished in the pur-
suit, and the prize winner in.
variably looks scornfully at
the reward on which she ex.
pended much thought and
money, and remarks resignedly,
st have three of these in my
toy closet at home already"
Food Problem
The food presents the same
problem. Instead Of just ice
cream and cake, the children
are given an elaborate supper
of creamed chicken, peas, little
sandwiches and cocoa, fol.
lowed by ice cream in fancy
molds, and a huge confec-
toners edifice cake, decorated
and embelhshed on every inch
of its surface. The table is
Uttered with numberless gifts
for each child, and usually in
the center is a large Jack
Horner pie, with more pres
ents tied to the ends Of
ribbons stretching to each
plate.
The small guests languidly
examine all of these, the boys
see who can make hay out
of the table in the shortest
possible order, and the ice
cream is often untouched in
the end, from sheer safety.
One mother I know, exclaimed,
81 would rather give so grown.
UP dinnsrs, and have to seat
at them the rankiest people in
Washington, than to struggle
to entertain these kids once
a year. It leaves me savage
enough to eat my own young"
What a pity that what should
be one of the biggest thrills OF
childhood has become such a
lack-luster affair. It is all our
fault, of course, we have spoil.
ed them. and led them to expect
too much. I have been guilty
as the rest, but from now on,
my motto is going to be Fewer

Advice to the
Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

A Case Of Real Life, Not RO-
nance
Dear Miss Fairfax
I am a nursery governess in
a fine family and foreign born.
I accompany the children to
school in the car, and on the
way home, the chauffeur In
sists on making love to me. I
detest this man, hate his love
making and am afraid Of him.
I would leave this place and
take another situation, only /
am noticed in a very admiring
way by the oldest son Of the
family. He very seldom talks
to me, has never been in the
least degree fresh, but he
changes color when I am
around, and I am confident
that he likes me. He is leaving
to take a postgraduate course
soon.
I could love him dearly, be-
cause he is so well-bred and con-
siderate Of everyone in the
household. When I took the
position, the mistress said to
me: You are almost too pretty"
and If this is true, Miss Fair
fax, it has never done anything
for me so far. I am consider
ing leaving this situation.
NINETEEN.
It happens more often in fic-
ton than in real life, that the
young gentleman Of the house
falls in love with the pretty
nursery governess, and 7 think
it would be very disquieting for
you to hold the thought that
such a thing is likely to hap
pen in your case.
You tell me the young man Is
leaving the city soon, so you
would not have opportunities
of seeing him for some time.
But, you would be in a position
of receiving the unwelcome at
tentions of the chauffeur daily.
All things being considered,
it seems to me you might be
happier in another place. When
a girl is pretty, possibilities Of
making desirable friends are
endless.
Can't Offer Her the Car Now
Dera Miss Fairfax:
I used to meet my girl, who
is in a Government office, and
drive her home every day. Also,
I took her out every evening,
when she desired it. The car
belonged to my uncle, and now
that he has taken it away to
the city in which he lives, am
no longer able to offer her the
free use of this car. Now, she
treats me coldly.
I waited for her outside her Of
flee, one evening, and asked her
why she had failed to keep an
engagement, and had not both
cred to phone. AS she had no
valid excuse to offer, I told her
I was done with her.
Despite this fact, I love her
just as much as ever. I met her
a few evenings ago at a party,
and tried to make up, but she
declined to renew our friend
ship. j. w. L.
This young lady strikes me
as having some of the makings
of a gold-digger about her. Evi.
dently, she was more interested
in you as a chauffeur than as a
boy friend, and in your case, I
think it would be advisable not
to waste any more time on a girl
Of this type.
There are thousands Of girls
in this city, tucked away in
boarding houses and drearry lit
tie apartments pining for a little
human companionship. Try and
become acquainted with a girl
less mercenary.

TOSSING intra- party factional
Il feelings to the winds eighty
six Indiana Democrats and guests
joined together in one big golf
tournament Thursday afternoon at
the Speedway links and then re-
tired to the Indiana Democratic
Club for a banquet, prize distribu-
ton and funfest that lasted well
into the night Henry o. Goett,
president, presided. and there was a
prize for everybody.
Democracy was represented from
the highest executive in the state,
Governor Paul v. McNutt, who fired
an even 100, down through the ranks
to the precinct workers and voters.
Max Blackburn, a regular around
the South Grove municipal course,
captured the low gross trophy with
fine H. while Ed Sullivan, who
was able to punch out an 81, bene-
fitted by a seventeen-strOke handi-
cap allowance. came in first among
the net division with IS.
The low gross prize for guests
went to M. G. Gronendyke with
IS, while the four professionals who
were guests fired as follows: Ralph
Stonehouse, 10; Charles Higgs, II;
Russell Stonehouse, 70, and John
Vaughn, rs.
James T. Hamill, who won the
low gross trophy last year, relin-
pushed his title as he fired an 80
yesterday, and Sheriff Charles
(Buck) Sumner, who was low net
trophy winner last year, likewise
passed into the discard with a gross
go, twenty handicap and 70 net.
Plans have been completed for
Hillcrests second gold rush" of
the season today. A. S. Rove, di-
rector of publicity, announced yes
terday that the warm fall days of
the last week keyed up interest and
large field of Planners" is heading
westward by northeast.
Peter LambertuS, club president;
DR.. G. E. Cox and Jack Thibedeau
of the golf committee, and Roy
Smith, course pro, have been hold
ing meetings daily getting new
plans, stunts and surprises formed
for the field.
Plans call for the first players to
noon intermission, at which time
lunch with all the trimmings will
be served, the course will be re-
vamped to make way for the after
noon "razzle dazzle" event. Stage
money will be at stake and entrants
can expect to make shots under any
kind of trying circumstances.
The night program will open up
with a dinner and wind up, when
and how the boys prefer 1t is a
strictly stag affair with entertain
ment and the grounds barred to
women members of the club.
Prizes will be distributed at the
dinner and for this event the Off
GERS have gathered together list
of unusual awards. Don't forget
unusual awards, so if you have
not entered, do so at once. Hillcrest
members will be glad to sponsor
guest entries.
AS an added attraction members
of the johnson rodeo who are in
the city are to appear at the club
in the afternoon and give exhibit
tons of high class roping and other
cowpuncher acts. AS mentioned be-
fore, the Hillcrest officials plan to
keep you interested from the time
you arrive until departure.

IN JAIL 100 TIMES
Shanghai Derelict Again Sent TO
Prison Cell.

BIZ United Press
SHANGHAI, Sept. 22.-Many der
elicts haunt the river front here,
but the veteran of them all, the
King of Vagabonds," is Hans Han
son, 40, a Latvian, who recently cell
ebrated his Tooth Jail sentence for
begging and drunkenness.
It makes no difference to King
Hanson" whether he is in Jail, or
is permitted to roam the old Yang
tzepoo, Hongkew and Wayside dis
tricts in seach of some open-handed
tourist who will give him enough
change for a drink of waterfront
whisky.
In recent months the judge of the
district court does not even go
through the usual formalities. Po-
lice and court officials have gone
through the same old routine with
him so often they always know
what it's all about without word
being spoken.
