 GlOritying Yourself
By ARela Rart

Some of the pretties colffures to 10 with new fall hats are masses of ringlets instead of rows Of waves. This Is a season to brush your hair of your face and not too far up- ward from the back of your neck, then to finish ssae back with little curls which extend over the edge of your hat, softening an otherwise hard line.
 You can be thankful that the era of very shallow crowns, which had to br held on with rubber bands or, worse yet, ribbons, is past, This fails hats stay where they are put without the aid of Q band to break your hairline and ruin the looks Of Q row of curls.
 When you have picked your new fall bonnet, take 1t along to the beauty shop with you. Ask your laairdresser to suggest coiffure that will set of this particular hat in becoming manner and which will be s-irly easy for you to keep In place between visits to his salon.
 "A really good hairdresser will more than likely do Q cutting job befo:s he even starts to arrange swirls and curls. The most conn potent, like one especially fine Fifth avenue hair expert, cuts your hair In such way that the curls are bound to snap back into place when you use Q hairbruSh properly. Such mattresses, therefore, are easy to manage.
 If you have Q high wasted, form fitting evening gown, reminiscent of the Directoire period, your formal coitture certainly will be piled high on your head. You1l brush all of your little daytime ringlets upward aj far as thej will go, lump them together and make three or four thicker, longer curls. One will be on the crown of your head at the back. Another may be posed above your forehead. A third can extend crosswise, above one ear or, dt" agonaNy, from front curt to back roll.
 If your hair Is long, you can do 0 Gay NiNeties hairstyle without much help from anyone, You simply brush every strand upward oil the way around and arrange a high, rather flat bun. Fringy bangs are optional, of course, but utterly charming.
 There is some talk about using pure white flowers, like gardenias, camelias, tiny orchids or carnations, in evening cultures. However, clus- ters of multi-colored posies, and gawdy, too ornate jewelled orna. ments are decidedly paSse. The new evening gowns hattcr your figure and make you look very feminine and lady like. Freakish gadgets h your hair will spoil the effect.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ever Have a Crhmn sleanlnR2

Following Q suggestion in your column, as quickly as possible when I feel leg cramps coming on ct night, I take from one.third to one- half teaspoonful of baking soda in water. It seems to prevent further cVamps. (Afrs. M. O.

Child Appreciates Tact

Child Appreciates Tact
 The most interesting homes ! have been in were those where father or mother or both, made Q point of seeing humor in tragedy. Or ct least what would ordinarily have been construed as tragedy. Mother, for instance, smells an awful smell. She finds long.dead worms in Johnny's pocket. Instead of gagging over her dinner and making Johnny feel like c hangnan, she embellishes the story for the rest. Soon the whole family iS con. vuised, and Johnny, whose worst fault is forgctfulnesS, could kiss her for her tact And the chances are that said son will remember not to forget again. Merriment in1presseS Itself on memory.
 To sing and smile and turn the mouth up, that's the secret Of happy homes. To be born without Q sense of humor or Q twinkle Of the eye b Q real curse. But something can be done about t. That is to keep still and not ruin everyone eige's fun.
 One thing should like to add Cruel fun is outside the pale. sar. casm or joking at anyonc'S expense b worse than a whip. It sears and burns itself into memory with vengeance. Pure fun Is kindly boosts imagination and inspires The family that can laugh it's way short of being silly or cruel, is tound to be the best. Its members have bonds in common; but the family without the ties Of common interest soon prefers other people and other homes for It's own.

Removal By Surgical Operation Seen As Only Cure For Cataract In Eye

other easy method. Only actual re-. moyai of the cataract by surgical operation after 1t has fully dcvel- opcd is seen aS a cure.
 4 cataract is any opacity Of the jcns Of the eye or Of itS capsule. Obviously, this interfcreS with VI. sion.
 Specialists classify cataracb ac- Cording to the portion Of the eye which k concerned; the conSiSt- cncy of the cataract, whether hard, soft, or fluid; the extent Of it's dcs yelopmcnt; whether partial, com" plctc, stationary. or progressive; and finally, whether t Is the Kind of cataract that occurs in most old people aS they get well along in years.
 When cataFacts develop in pco- pic under 35 years Of age, the catar' acts usually are goft. In older pco- pie, there develops a form known aS BcnIlc cataract
 This is a degcneratiVc condition. the cause Of which B not knoWn' 1t B quite common after 60 years Of age, although occasionally t may Dc seen ifi younger people. Both eyes almost always arc ifi- VolVcd when cataractS are present Usually one devclapS before the other.
 Sometimes CataraCt8 develop fully in q few months, In many CascG years are required for complete development. Tn many instances C cataract will become stationary. | Doctors find that the correction of errors Of rcfraction by the usc Of suitable eyeglasses is important for treatment in the inCipicnt or early stages. Sometimes the sight can De improved by wearing smoked glasses, which aid in diiatiHg the pupil Of the eye, permitting more light to enter.
 There gre isolated instances in which cataracB have shown BD0n- tane0uS improvement
 There seems to De some evidence that q persons nutrition plays q considerable part in control Of q developing cataract, Sometimes people with cataract feel better f certain drops Of local anesthetlcs, or similar substances are place din the eye ct fairly free quent intervals. However, there does not seem to be any certainty that such method Tealjy helps.
 Hence anyone with [ cataract should get immediate advice Of ( competent specialist in diseases oi the eye. The physician viii care fuIIy watch the growth ard devel. opnient Of the cataract afld will, at the proper time, arrange for IA removal

ARE YOU A HIT AND RUN DRIVER OR A STOP AND

DRIVER OR A STOP AND
 STARE PAssER.BY?
 What makes the hit and run driver behave that way2 Fear. But driver of good character, good education or training, good judg- ment, can ordinarily restrain the impulse to run away and does SO However, g:Ye that same person q few little drinks of liquor and hi' or her good judgment is for . while in abeyance. In an emergency Buct driver, under the influence of the arcotic, acts upon the impulse and tries to get away. Not every hi' and run driver is under the infiu' ence of alcohol, but believe this narcotic effect of alcohol is Q factor in most cases. Our laws are lenienl --as long as the driver under the influence of alcohol can walk and talk the police readily acquit him or her of responsibility for what c few little drinks have done. The public, too, sanctions killing oE inaiming aS long as the culpr1t can bring witnesses to testify he or she had only Q drink or two and on in. dulgent police officer Swears he or she could still walk and talk fairly well.
 Not quite SO low, but yet low enough in all conscience Is the stop and stare pasSer-by. I mean the ghoulish person who rushes up to make sure of Q front seat when- ever any one is badly injured. This type of ghoul iS scarcely human, but obviously degenerate.
 There should Do rigid rule re. quiring the gh0uls to ram9in not less than ten yards away from the scene of an accident or the point where first aid or resuscitation is being given; and good swift kicks for thos ewho venture closer with out being asked to help. Casual witnesses of street accidents usually deal with the hit and run driver when they see the accident; the de. cent public should be educated and urged to deal with the stand and stare degenerate in like manner.
 There is Q vast difference between being overtaken by disaster to one in your own vicinity or party, and hurrying Up from Q distance to gloat over some lucklesS strangers plight.
 Too many good people are unpre- pared to render intelligent or help ful first aid in ordinary emergencies. They have never received any in- Struction in simple first aid and they have only vague, perhaps futile or harmful ideas of the proper methods of caring for any ono in an emergency. For example, 1t is safe to say that the majority of you
