Achieving
Variations
In Couture
New Permanent Not
Always Necessary
in Making Change.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

Mrs. J. G. H. wants to know: "1s
there an unwritten law or a ira
ditional something or other that pre-
cludes ones doing something dra-
matte to her hair. unless it happens
to be time for a permanent? I men
toned to q friend that I was tired
of the same old hair comb and in
tended having a stylist look into 1t.
Whereupon she expressed surprise
with. oh, hut you aren't ready for
another permanent yet. are you?'"
Mrs. ]. c. H. goes on to ask several
other questions, but let us cover this
point here by way Of reassuring her
and any other readers who feel that
q new coiffure is not to be considered
without new permanent. let me tell
you that the leading stylists right
through the country are creating new
fashions every day.
One reason for the impression may
be the fact that the permanent has
been stressed. and rightly 50, as the
necessary foundation for new hair
style or any hair style. Without q
good permanent to give 1t the neces-
sary lasting quality, the finest finger
wave becomes an overnight affair.
With q good permanent, on the other
hand, the setting not only lasts, but
even lends itself to variation.
I've seen many hair stylists at
work creating these variable perma-
nents and coiffures. One in particu-
lar has a penchant for finishing head
with every wave and curl In place and
lust es the patron is about to put on
her hat, flick goes his comb, the part
disappears, three curs become one
pun, two waves merge into q deep
swirl. And all the while he keeps
explaining to the patron how to hold
the comb, how to press the waves with
the fingers, how easy it is to keep the
setting in any of its variations.
But this does not mean that the
same styling cannot be done week
or a month after the permanent. In
fact, If you are contemplating re-
styling and permanent in one, bear
In mind that the styling starts even
before the waving and winding. The
right haircut, the proper thinning Of
the hair to follow the contour Of the
head; in other words, molding OF the
hair is the beginning. With the right
haircut, the waves Of the permanent
actually fall in place in much the
same way as they do In natural wavy
hair.
II you are tired Of your coiffure, by
all means do something about it..
Put your head In the hands Of an
expert stylist. Then, surprise not only
your friends, but yourself. It isn't
hard to do, nowadays, what with the
hair being swept SO dramatically up
from the nape; back over the ears,
emphasizing the lovely shape Of the
head and any fine points of the hair
line.
II you are preparing for perma-
nent, be sure to send self-addressed.

tongues to wag approvingly at

Astoria were black kid pumps with
square continental heels, flat-heeled

and black fabric sandals with three

customers, but occasionally one gains
the limelight due to an uncontrolled
desire for abnormal profits.
In many instances, Mr.. Roberts
says, these offenders are forced into
their roles due to pressure brought to
bear on them from "higher-ups" in
the organization which they represent.
Thus the manager Of a small store,
which Is a subsidiary Of some larger
concern, will be expected to show such
high returns IN his particular agency
that to keep his Job he must resort
to unfair tactics.

Routine for
Youngsters
Carefully Outline and
Maintain Health
Schedule.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE importance Of health Is always
accepted by parents and teachers.
"Of course, health comes first" Does
It? Always? A hundred per cent Is
never possible In the rearing Of chill
dren. They are the creations Of ma
ture and she scorns hundred per cents.
She lets the surplus die and coolly
kills of the UNIT. We have to COM
bat this indifference on natures part
and get as close to perfection in health
for children as possible. We can get
close and closer to the ideal.
To do this we must hold to the
schedule. This is not always possible,
but it Is so oftener than not. Our
laziness, our longing for peace in q
world where there is no peace, per-
suade us to let 1t pass this time. The
child will not ask for something to eat
between times tomorrow He can be
allowed to stay up late just this time.
He can have the cheap, highly colored
candy just this once. Let him lie abed
this morning while the morning chores
are attened to. Tomorrow things will
be different. Well, If ne doesn't want
to play outdoors, if he wants to lie on
his back and read in the dim afternoon
light-one gets so tired of the eternal
nagging. Let him wear glasses If he
wants to so badly.
1t won't do. There are plenty of
times when schedules must 60 by the
board. There are emergencies in the
life Of every family. High occasions
do come and the children should share
them. Sickness breaks all schedules.
There is no room for extra allowances
in the daily schedules If health rou-
tine Is to be preserved. Regularity is
the price Of health. Every break adds
to the cost and pain of acquiring it.
The steadier the rhythm of a childs
days the less trouble he and his guar
cians are going to have with health
problems.
Health routines are never very at
tractive. Children dislike any form of
restraint and there must be restraints
In the program. If they can avoid
them they will. They will skip the
handwashing before meals, skimp on
soap and water and the exertions of
washing behind their ears If there Is
nobody watching, teeth will not be
brushed, diet rules will go by the board.
bed time will be any old time and the
children will soon be so completely
messed up that only season in bed
with the doctor in charge will straight
en- them out. Every such setback costs
health.
20, he will make 1t up" is q vain
hope. Time is never made up. Neither
Is sleep. Growth once checked affects
all after-growth. There is a price on
everything wet get in life. and health
Is no exception. The price of that is
persistent watchful care. Annoying
and nagging demands these are, but
they must be met as patiently and fully
as possible.
Begin early. when the child is born.
Don't stop watching and guarding
when he is or 3. or wher. a new baby
comes. Keep after him. The longer
he goes without q break in schedule
the nearer he approaches the stage
where habit takes over the duty and
relieves all concerned There does
come time when habit compels the
care of the body and its span can be
considerably shortened by consistent
and persistent attention to schedule.

Trained Inspectors Protect the Housewife From Short Weight
District Regulations
Very Comprehensive
And Must Be Obeyed
Women May Help the Good Work Along by
Insisting on Getting What They Pay
for When Purchasing.

and regulated with the greatest of
detail and care. In England. the first
record of laws and rules regulating
weights and measures Is dated almost
q century before the invasion by the
Normans, and in the American
colonies the Massachusetts, Bay Colony
was the first to establish rigid laws
on the subject. As a matter OF fact,
I believe that Massachusetts, today has
the most severe regulations Of weights
and measures Of any State in the
Union.
However, the District law Is very
comprehensive, and with the increased
inspection force is becoming more
and more Of power for good in this
locality. Congress, having had It's
attention called to the work being done
by the Weights and Measures De-
partment in its effort to protect mar
keters from fraud, made provision for
four additional inspectors. These
men are chosen with great care after
they have passed rigid examinations,
and are given very careful training in
the calling which they are to pursue.
- **
AS A matter of fact, the housewife
= herself can help the situation a
great deal, Mr.. Roberts points out, by
being "on her toes" to see that she
gets full measure in every purchase
she makes. Many women are unneces-
sarily careless, and as a result the
family food bill would be several dol
lars less month If the purchaser
really watched carefully to see that
she obtained all that she paid for.
In buying meats, for instance, the
careful housewife should always ask
the total weight, and determine by
real calculation whether the amount
charged for same is correct, when
computed by the price per pound.
Also, she should insist that the meat
which is being weighed should be left
on the scales long enough for the in.
dicator to come to a full rest so that
she may herself read the weight re-
corded there. One of the best ways
to let oneself be done" is to allow the
merchant to remove the meat from
the scales before the indicator has
ceased quivering.
WHEN buying dressed poultry, have
w the bird weighed before the head,
feet and entrails are removed-other-
wise you can never know just what
the original total weight was. One
concern recently was found short
weighing more than half of its dressed
chickens-some discrepancies came as
high as pound!
Fruits and vegetables may not be
packed tightly enough in bags or
boxes to give true weight, and when
buying these the housewife should
bear this In mind and have the
boxes dumped" so that she may see
exactly the condition of the packing
in the lower layers.
With the inspectors on the lookout |
for inaccurate scales, and with the
on the lookout for her
own good, there should be great deal
less perpetrating of short weight on
an all too gullible public!

DEAR MRS. POST: What Is the

Gus reason such as deafness in one
ear SO that 1t Is necessary that his Cor
herr companion sit on his good" side.
Under ordinary circumstances he nat
urally sits nearest the aisle since she,
going first, takes the seat farther in.
When q man accompanies two women
he sits on the aisle, of course. But
If they have inside seats there is, no
rule as to whether he sits next to one
or between them.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is there any obli-
cation on the part Of friends Of one
or the other to invite engaged people
to everything together? And is there
any time when husband, or wife, may
be invited without the other to .
mixed party?
Answer III their engagement has
been announced, engaged people
should be invited together every
where. It would be very rude to In
vite one without the other. A hus-
band and wife m6st. of course, be
invited together, socially-unless in
the unusual case where it Is known
that they 60 their separate ways.

it on your right hand instead-or on
the little finger Of your left hand.
