THROUGH A
Wmanls Eyes
By JEAN NEWTON
WITHOUT IDEALS THE SOUL
DIES"

THAT sounds like the title OF a
L sermon and that is what it was.
The sermon dealt with the import
ance of ideals from religious view
point. And it was from this view
point that the minister said: The
soul dies when ideals vanish"
And it occurred to me how true
this is from the most practical view
point of everyday life.
Ideals are regarded as matters al
most ephemeral. And yet they are
among the most solid, substantial in
fluences IN life. If you stop to think
about it, wealth may be very transient.
Success may be transient Fame usu-
ally is transient But the principles
we set for ourselves, the ideals to
which we adhere, If we adhere to them
strongly enough, are rock of refuge
In storm. And the point is that our
principles and our ideals are posses
sion for whose permanence we are
dependent on no other person, on no
uuirks of circumstance, but only upon
ourselves.
The older we grow the more we
realize that the things which bring
us the most satisfaction in life, the
solid, substantial, dependable joys,
those which stay and grow with the
years, are the fundamental interests
and pleasures like love of family and
old friends. These are really the
things that count. The most exciting
and glamourous life will come to lean
and drab days without them. Having
them, having love and companionship,
life may be very full with little Of the
worldly possessions.
And so holding to our ideals gives
a substance to life, a spiritual strength,
which is really life. And people who
undervalue their Importance are very
likely to find too late that without
them the soul Is indeed dead.

What Causes
Failing HAIR?
By DONNA GRACE

Among the questions we are
asked most frequently are the two
following: What causes my hair to
fall out? And what is a sure cure
for falling hair?
The answers to both questions
are: We do not know. There
are some direct causes of falling
hair, such as illness, anemia or
malnutrition and scalp infections,
but the malady may persist when
there is no evidence of any con.
tributing cause.
Many cases of falling hair and
even badness may be relieved and
cured, but we believe it is a mis-
take for any operator or hair
specialist to guarantee a cure.
The better class hair specialist
does not guarantee to cure any
malady, and we should not de-
mand such statements from the
scalp specialist.
We will give you some of the
statements from a release sent by
one Of the leading hair specialists.
He says:
THE hair is entirely dependent
on the scalp for growth as vege-
tation is dependent on the soil. So
the scalp must be kept healthy by
external hygiene and internal
nouriShment. He gives us q few
OF the exploded superStitions re.
garding hair, as follows:
Singing doesn't make the hail
healthier.
Shaving the scalp or cutting
doesn't cause faster growth.
When a white hair is pulled
out, two will not grow in its
place.
Badness is not hereditary.
Red hair does not indicate
quick temper.
Brain work is not a cause Of
badness"
It takes time to recondition the
hair, but when one has had 6
reasonable amount of the right
treatment, do not be too dis
treSSed if the hair does not re
spond to the treatment. Consult
a specialist or your family physi
clan and be advised by them.
Dear Donna Grace: I brush
my hair regularly, but it does
not shine as much as / would
like. What can I do to make
it shine? MARIE"
Dear Marie: When you finish
brushing your hair. cover the
brush with pieces of silk and
stroke it carefully. This will
polish the hair nicely. Then
pat or spray it with a little
brilliantine and you will be
thrilled with the result.

Youthful Throat. Chin

Double chins and scrawny necks
away with them! With one
simple exercise-safe, sane and
fun to do-you can chase telltale
signs of age. You can get back
on the beauty line, with a throat
firmly rounded, lovely, youthful!
It's an up and down nodding ex-
erciSe that has reduced the double
chin of the plump lady pictured.
Here's how to do it. Drop your
head back on your shoulders as
far as you can, slowly, pulling
strongly on the muscles up and
down the front of the neck. Then
lower your chin on your chest,
again pulling slowly downward so
you can feel a decided pull on the
back neck muscles. NoW-Wlth a
slow. rhythmic movement-do this
exercise four or five times the
first day. Increase gradually to
20 times. You'll look-and feel
amazingly refreshed!

Many of the fall vegetables can
be baked. This is, dietically speak
ing, an excellent method. All the
nutritive elements are retained
during cooking. Potatoes. sweet
potatoes, onions, squash are in
this class. Steaming is another
method of cookery that retains
minerals. Carrots, parSnips, beets,
turnips, potatoes and squash can
be successfully steamed.
However, not all of us have
steamers. and if you still prefer
cookery in Boiling salted water,
here is a tip. Parchment paper
comes in sheets approximately "a
inches square. Cooking vegetables
in squares of this paper not only
allows cooking without loss Of nu-
trients, but also lessons the num-
ber of cooking utensils to be
washed.
Retains Minerals
The directions for using the
paper suggest that it first be
sprinkled with water until damp,
then add the prepared vegetables
and seaSoningS. Salt, and butter
or cream are best.
The Juice from the vegetables
combines with the seasoning to
make a delicious sauce with the
vegetables. Then, of course, be-
fore cooking the edges of the
paper are gathered and tied in
place to form a paper bag. When
tender, the vegetable is seasoned
ready to be poured into heated
dish and served.
This method of cookery is to be
preferred for small children where
the retention of minerals is vital.
The length of cooking should be
timed. If vegetables are cooked
too long Vitamin C, and perhaps
B, are destroyed.
Sufficient quantities of vitamins
are especially valuable for fall and
winter days when fresh vegetable
and fruit salads do not feature our
menus.

rots may present to you a new
possibility. This recipe was worked

Museum pieces have been the
inspiration for most of our good
eighteenth century furniture, and
manufacturers have practically
combed the archives for fine de-
signs. But Williamsburg is a mu-
scum in itself, and is rich in the
best of American and English fur
niture Of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries.
Such care was used, and such
good judgment, in restoring the
houses and important buildings
there, that we can accept every
detail as authentic, at least as
characteristics of the period. Even
the colors used in decoration, the
fabrics, the small ornaments and
the books are either original, or
are exactly like the originals.
Exact COlorS
To illustrate, Helen KoueS Of
Good Housekeeping" magazine
tells how they decided on colorS
to paint the walls in the restored
governors palace. Those engaged
in the research that was neces-
sary went through the old files
Of newspapers and other adver-
tisements of paint dealers, check
ing the colorS advertised. Then
they checked again, listing the col
ors that were sold, in and around
Williamsburg. Finally they sent
to England for the exact shades
that were sold and used around
that time. Finally they decided
on the colorS.
It's interesting to note that
many rooms in Williamsburg are
done in the deep colors that are
being used right now. The CO
lonials were not afraid either OF
color or Of the bold combination
of colors. And today we are using
many of the same colors and com
binationS.
OF Modern Benefit
But to get back to our subject,
two or more stores are showing
fine pieces that are copied from
the furniture which now adds to
the charm Of the old Williamsburg
houses. And why not? So much
research was done to furnish
those houses, so much old furni-
ture was bought or found, so much
money was spent to make sure it
was not only authentic but beau
tiful also. We might as well all
profit by it.
If your house is in the volonial
or early American style, and you
want new pieces, or if you're
merely interested in fine design
you should certainly go looking at
these styles.

This is not because ne Su1IerS
from jealousy of his inamorata' S
possible past lovers or future ones,
but because he is an idealiSt in
regard to love, women, life itself.
For such q man tand sometimes
he is only a boy) it is not enough
to love paSsionately and to know
that his love is accepted. He must
be certain that he is loved in re-
turn with an equal rapture. He
must be able to penetrate to every
Granny of his beloved'S nature and
find his own image there. Love,
for him, must be on the grand
scale.
An Example
To show what mean, let me
quote a little from a letter that a
lover of this type has just writ
ten me.
"Confound the so-called 'mys-
terry Of women!" exclaimS this
correspondent. Its true that we
men adore that mystery. 1t en-
slaves us; it makes fools of US,
sometimes. But when you really
love q girl-when she represents
the whole universe to you-you
want to get behind that mystery,
don't you? Well, how do you man.
age it?
II am in love. My beloved,
being 10, is scarcely woman yet,
I suppose. But I can see that she
acts like all the women that have
ever lived.
"She says she love me; she re-
turns my kisses; she is exqui-
sitely sweet. But I want more.
want to be sure that she
couldn't live without me. How do
1 know that she isn't marrying
me just for the sake of getting
married?
IT love her with a tremendous
love of which any woman should
be proud to be the object. But
what is her own inmost feeling?
How can I get at my girls real
self and find out whether my
life is going to be glorious or
tragic?"
In one point this grand opera
lover is mistaken. It would not
profit him at all to remove-if
he could-the veil of mystery
from his young fiancee.
Though he does not know it,
it is part of what he loves in
her. And as long as he loves
her, even if it be a lifetime,
this mystery, this inpenetrable
charm, will stand between him
and a complete understanding Of
his beloved.
Unattainable
In fact, this sense of being
baffled, of not being granted a
complete understanding, is part
of the delicious, tantalizing. in
comparable experience of loving
a woman-any woman. It has
nothing to do with a woman'S
returning a mans love, or not
returning 1t.
A lovely woman, however ar
dent her own love may be, can
not alter the fact that to her
lover she will seem forever un-
attainable. That is the way we
strange human beings are made.
But we can at least hope that
the deeply loved young girl whom
our correspondent writes about
is one of the women who really
want to be loved in this ire
mendouS way. Not all women
do, of course. But a 19-year-old
girl, who is genuinely in love
with a somewhat older man, is

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

"IS it ever correct to rise when

A woman ordinarily does not
rise when man is introduced to
her. However, when she is a.

woman pays compliment to an
