Hints for
Bleached
Dry Hair
Brush and Oil Two
Fine Corrective
Aids.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

EVEN the average head OF hair
~ has its woes and worries dur
ing the Summertime. The sun
dries out much of the natural oil,
makes the hair coarse, dull, diff
cult to manage. Hair that has been
bleached needs more than the usual
share of care to counteract the raw
aging effects of Summer exposure.
Bleaching at best causes a slight de-
terioration of the hairshaft, the outer
covering becoming roughened and
quite lifefless Add to that the harsh
effects of heat and light and you can
understand why bleached hair read
lily reaches the brittle. breaking point
Just about this time of the year.
I firmly indorse improving upon ma
ture. If bleached hair is more be-
coming than the shade Dame Nature
handed you, by all means bleach.
But do try to keep the hair touched
UP as frequently as necessary so that
there is no line of demarkation be-
tween new growth and the tinted
portion; also keep the hair a beauti-
fully blended, even tone. More than
that, keep it silky and polished.
The best way to accomplish this is
TO have corrective treatments in a rep
utable beauty salon. And supplement
these treatments by daily brushing.
The salon treatment should start with
a scientific brushing that lasts some
10 or Is minutes. Then trained
operator should give you meaningful
and resultful manipulations-begin-
ming low at the back between shoul-
der blades and on up to the crown.
This is to stimulate the circulation,
wake up the oil glands so that they
function properly.
Following the brushing and massage
routine, there's an oil treatment. The
oil should be brought over the hair
Instead of being confined to scalp
alone. 1t may be applied with a small
brush and brushed over scalp and
through every strand of hair to the
very ends. Bleached ends, by the
way, are usually very dry and brittle.
Following the oil treatment, you
should either be placed under steam
er or have hot towels applied for
S or 10 minutes to coax the oil to
penetrate. Then comes the shampoo,
which has to be a mild, bland, liquid
shampoo. thorough rinsing and last
of all drying by hand instead of under
a dryer. Now. I've purposely out
lined this treatment, step by step, as
It is given in some of the country's
finest salons, so that should you find
1t impossible to have professional
treatments you can attempt to follow
the routine yourself at home.

- NITTED frocks are favorites
X with the younger set all
n through the year, but offer
4 n most interest at the end of
Summer, when thoughts are turning
toward school and college clothes.
These two-piece dresses, with their
plain skirts that are easily adjusted
to the individual, show an endless
variety OF tops and, along with sweat
ers and skirts. prove the backbone
of many girls daytime wardrobe.
With this in mind We have been
scouting around and found an un-
usual line of knitted frocks, exclusive
with one shop in town, that are said
not to wrinkle and not to sag, and
bear label guarantee to that effect.
They are moderately priced at $10.95
There are three smart styles and the
popular Fall colors are well repre-
sented.
Sketched above you will see two
Of them. The round -collared blouse
of rust color has its collar bound in
green. and green frogs trim the front.
A braided belt of rust and green
makes a nice contrast.
Another model in green Is woven
to simulate boxpleats at the front and
has pockets placed very high. The
twin collars are of green over gold.
The other design sketched Is in rich
wine red and has lacey woven yoke
with high-tie neck. This Is just
a little more dressy than the other
two and has slight top fullness to
the sleeves and leather belt.
These dresses all have ample hens
and come in sizes from IL to 20. They
are excellent to pack, as they do not
wrinkle and you can depend on having
something ready to slip into In a
jiffy the minute you arrive at your
destination.

of desserts that have been recently
"done to death" Cold sweets are still
preferable, of course, and fruit still is
wholesome and inexpensive; the trick
must lie in the preparation of the dish
so as to offer its familiar ingredients
in complete disguise.
For instance, here is one that would
seem to fill the bill very nicely:
PINEAPPLE CREAM.
2 tablespoons granulated gelatine.
"a cup sugar.

l tablespoon lime juice.
/ pint heavy cream.

cording to directions on the package.

the lime juice. Let stand until mixture
begins to thicken and then fold in the
cream, beaten stiff. Place in q mold

that has been in our family for gen.
erations comes this one, which Is every
bit as good today as it was in great
great-grandmother's time:

Mix the sugar with the lemon juice
and the sherry. When sugar is dis
solved add the cream, and whip or
beat until entire mixture is a light,
stiff froth. Chill thoroughly and serve
in chilled glasses, topped with grated
nutmeg and cinnamon.
HERE is another one that will offer
a popular fruit in a new guise:

Dorothy Dix Says
Marrying Out of Your Class Is Almost
Sure to Be Disastrous.

and then we see a man marry a girl
young enough to be his granddaughter,
or an old woman take boy husband,
and they seem to live happily ever
afterward. as the fairy tale says, but
where one such marriage succeeds
thousands fail. Generally the elderly
husband finds that he has nothing In
common with his girl wife. They look
at life from different standpoints.
They have different traditions and
habits and tastes. They can't even
say don't you remember" to each
other.
The young wife is avid for the
pleasures of life. She wants to 20
about to dance. to go places and do
things. She is filed with the curiosity
Of youth. Things that are new and
exciting to her are old and boring to
her husband. Her idea of a pleasant
evening is stepping out. His Is sitting
by the fire and doing over his paper.
1t Is sacrifice for the old husband to
ease himself out of his chair and 20
somewhere to amuse his young wife.
1t is equally sacrifice to her to have
to sit at home with a husband to
whom she really cannot talk because
he is not interested in boy and girl
chatter.
ROTH are miserable and both might
have been happy If they had
married in their own age class-if
the man had married a woman of
his own generation with whom he
could have reminisced and who would
have wanted to do the things he cid,
and If the girl had married a playboy
with whom she could have run
around.
If it is important that people should
marry in their own age class, it is
still more vital that they should
marry in their intellectual class.
There are no tragedies of marriage
more bitter than those of the lonely
men and women who are married to
wives and husbands with whom they
can have no companionship.
A CLEVER, intellectual man Is
taken by a pretty face and mar
ries a girl who is nothing but a
brainless doll. She never reads a
book. She doesn't know anything
that is going on in the world outside
Of her own small circle. Her conver-
sational range goes from the kitchen
to the nursery and back again. She
bores her husband to tears and she is
equally bored by him. because she con-
siders him just as tiresome when he
talks about politics as he does her
when she discourses about q new
stitch in knitting. Marriage is q
failure for both because they have
married out of their class.
1t Is likewise hazardous for people
to marry outside of their social class.
and their moral class, and especially
out Of their religious class. The poor
waitress who marries a millionaire and
the society girl who elopes with her
chauffeur both almost invariably find
their way to Reno The Puritan wife
and the rounder husband ruin each
others lives, while not all the Nvices
can so disrupt household as q diff
ference in creeds in religion.
So would urge all youths and
maidens contemplating matrimony 20

The End of the Philly-Loo

1T is a well-known fact that the phil
Of the death Of the last survivor vary.
Larry Flint, Pennsylvania newspa-
per man says he saw the tragedy
while visiting in Wyoming.
"The phllly-loo vas ferociously fond
of the holes In doughnuts. His meth
cd of eating them was unique; he
backed up to them, slipped his tail
through them, then flicked the ap-
pendage around In front and fed him
self.
San old-timer out there, knowing of
this popularity, sought out the last
surviving philly-loO and laid several
doughnut holes down In front of the
bird. In order to eat the hole. the
philly-loo had to move his tail around
into the proper juxtaposition. This
brought about his end"
But F. F. Fuller of the Rhame IN.
d. Review has another version of the
story. He says that he and another
editor had the job of hunting down
the last survivors of the race to serve
at a banquet for some visiting news
paper men. Near mountain In the
Bad Lands they flushed covey of the
birds and started chasing them.
"The philly-loos began circling the
mountains" relates Mr.. Fuller. "As
they did so each bird grabbed the tail
of the bird ahead and as they mount
ed upward and the circle narrowed,
they swallowed to take up the slack.
They kept circling and swallowing I'M
til each bird had completely swallowed
the bird ahead, and they entirely dis
appeared from before our eyes. All
that is left are few tracks circling
the mountain that look just like those
made by an automobile driven by
One-armed driver. I've never seen a
philly-loo bird since that time"
