 Northampton, Mass, Aug. 3l-- (UP)--MrS, Grace doodhue Cool. idgc, widow of former President Calvin Coolidge, was the guest of Mrs. Florence 5. Adams here today after their return from Q European tour yesterday.
 Arriving ct Springfield from New York, Mrs. Coolidge r1otored to Northampton with Mrs, Adams and her daughter Jane.
 This danger waG reflected in the announcement Of the state depart Inent, issued after President Rooss eycIt, from tIs special train in Rapid City, s.

 Warning IS Impressive

idiosyncracies is the secret of keeping
a mans love. To my mind, it would
make for q dull and boring married
life If the husband and wife thought
and felt alike and had the same tastes
and desires. It makes it interesting
that each is different. Why, then.
should a wife try to make her hus-
band over so that he suits her pat
tern?
The wife who is tolerant and easy
to get along with viii never lose her
husband to any other woman. It's
the one who nags. who is critical,
who always complains and Is dis
satisfied, who turns her husband from
her.
After q days hard work, q man
likes to come home to a wife who
scothes and rests him, who gives him
strength and courage for the next
days grind, who makes the home a
comfortable, cheerful place In which
he can relax, and who gives him the
things which make him satisfied and
content.
One thing more: Every man likes
to have SOME woman to whom he can
tell his troubles, his joys and his
conquests. It is the little boy in him
that wants to be nothered and petted
and praised. S} Z

Permanent
Wave and
HairDyeing
Caution Necessary
When Applying
Strong Tints.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

MRS. c. A.: The questions you
~ ask about hair dyeing are very
good ones and should be of interest
to many readers. Many States do
not require a predisposition test, but
a conscientious operator in reputa-
BILE beauty salon will make such a
test, regardless. 10 make this test
the skin in back of the ear, or the
fold of the forearm is cleansed with
soap and water or alcohol. Then
the dye is applied to this area. The
patron returns in "a hours. If no
swelling or redness occurs ana the
skin appears unchanged, it is safe
to assume that patron WILL suffer no
i'll effects from the application OF the
dye over her entire head. Some people
are what we call "allergic may
suffer peculiarly or react peculiarly
to certain chemicals in the dye.
Your second question: Should an
operator refuse to apply dye to a
scratched scalp? Definitely yes. Once
the skin is broken the chemicals
may enter the inner layers of the
skin and cause infection. The op-
orator your nelghbor had was not
making any undue fuss, merely taking
the necessary precautions and 1t seems
to me that she knew her business.
Your third question: Which should
come first, the hair dye or the per-
manent? 1t really does not make as
much difference today as it did
few years ago because permanent
waving has been so perfected that 1t
has been known to be very successful
even on hair that has been repeatedly
dyed.

existence, that unless a girl could have
one chance to attain marriage. she
very often drifted into being an old
maid without having romance come
anywhere near her.
Both myth and history indicate that
this was very much the case. The
legendary. and more humorous ver-
sion of the origin of leap year is an
amusing, although far from convinc-
ing, one. Ireland is the locale, and st.
Patrick and st. Bridget are cast in
the leading roles.
x
TT IS related that after st. Patrick
= had driven the frogs from the bogs
and the snakes out of the grass Of
Erin, he was wandering along the
shores of Lough Neagh, when he was
met by st. Bridget.
The good lady was in dire straits
there having developed much diSsen-
sion in her nunnery over the fact that
girls must always wait for the men to
pop the question" She implored st.
Patrick TO aid her in this matter,
which he did, by offering to give to
the ladies one year out of every seven
in which they could offer their hands
and hearts to the gentlemen of their
fancy. st. Bridget was not satisfied,
however, with this proposal, and

Paris Millinery Notes.

The hat collections In Paris show
a definite tendency toward toasted
tones, such as blond tortoise shell,
burnt straw, natural beige. fawn and
also a lovely shade of tomato red
which is very often combined with
black and navy blue. Black and navy
blue continue, or course, to be very
important. There is a great deal Of
emphasis put on pastel colors for
Spring-particularly q soft shade Of
pale faded pink that is sponsored by
every one. This color Is known as
ashes of roses or old pink.
Among the fabrics shown for Spring,
there is a general tendency toward
rough weaves and a very strong feel
ing for satins and bright surfaces.
Bianchini stresses mostly coarse sur
faces and toile fabrics-but they place
very noticeable importance as well
on satins and lustrous finishes. The
Persian influence is seen in their COL
lection on both chiffon and heavier
grounds. They show changeable tat
feta and printed taffeta with very
interesting designs of stars, ears Of
corn, comets and Zodiac signs.

especially interesting it Is not a bad
plan to have some Of these fine pieces
plated. One matron we know did this
quite successfully-sheh had several old
large pewter plates that were beauti-
full as decorative pieces, but hardly
useful, as the pewter did not harmo-
niZe with her silver. She had them
dipped and now uses them for canape
and hors d'ouevre platters, and they
are the sensation of her parties! A
number of her friends have followed
suit and have had all types of pewter
ware silvered-old measuring cups
have been turned into mugs for bever.
age trays, water dippers into hand
some punch bowl dippers, nondescript
candlesticks into handsome silver
ones! Those little copper kettles of
grandmother's day were usually very
quaint-and they are lovely when sill
vered, too-they blend with almost any
type of service.
THERE is now shellacking process
that keeps silver clean and SPAR
king. The shellac is put on in thin
coat and is not noticeable. Ornate
pieces such as candelabras should have
this treatment to keep them immune
from tarnish. If flatware and hollow
ware that is used daily is cleaned regu-
larly once week you will find that the
initial finish is much longer lived.
Tarnish eats into the metal and opens
the pores of the surface coat of silver,
and when silver is badly tarnished it
is almost impossible to ever remove
the film from the crevices. 1t is a
good plan to keep small piece of
camphor in the silver drawer or chest
it helps tremendously in keeping
metal from discoloring.
If you treasure your silver. you will
only use reputable cleaner. We know
of number of excellent polishing
creams-also silversmith that can
turn some of your antiquated pieces
into lovely new ones. Bring out those
hidden treasures; enjoy and display
them in rejuvenated beauty!

every thought and effort in rearing
a child who makes all of their sac
rifices In vain by her refusal to CO.
operate with them and do her part
toward making something of herself.
And they are helpless before her in
ertia. They cannot educate one who
will not study. They cannot breathe
fire and spirit into fiabby soul. They
cannot galvanize into action what is
just lump of clay. They can only beat
themselves up against wall of pas
sive resistance that they can never
break down.
Parents are far more helpless in
dealing with good-for nothing
daughter than good-for-nothing
son. If the boy will not work, he can
be turned out of the home to work
or starve, but to turn q girl out into
the street is to thrust her into the
gutter. The challenge of necessity
will not rouse her to action.
We all sympathize with parents who
have worthless children, but they
should be more blamed than pitied,
because, ninety-nine times out of
hundred, the girl or boy is what they
made him or her They had the
shaping of the plastic clay, and if they
failed to make 1t into vessel of
strength and use it, that is their
fault.

p EADING between the lines of your
letter it is easy to see that from
the time of her babyhood you spoiled
your daughter. You waited on her
hand and foot. You demanded moth
ing of her. You denied yourself to
indulge her in luxuries. You made
her utterly selfish and you have no
right to complain. because she is the
logical result of your handiwork.
If you had taught her habits of
industry, she would not now be a lazy
good or-nothing. She would want to
work. She would be keen about de-
veloping her talents in music and
dancing. If you had made her study,
she would have got an education.
And If you had taught her to con-
slider you and her father, she would
be glad to get job and help out in
this time of need. DOROTHY DIX.

attitude is driving us to dis

give her good education, but she
hates school and brings home very
poor marks.
She is very high-hat with the boys
and girls and refuses to go out, buries
herself in trashy books and wants
nothing else. She will not drive the
car and run her own errands, and
her daddy must taxi her around. We
have given her four years Of dancing,
singing and piano lessons and spent
many dollars on costumes. but it is
too much of an effort for her to sing
or dance, though she has a good
voice and is a talented dancer. Al
though we have been hard hit by the
depression, we have skimped ourselves

4 L for old pieces of silver-per-
haps real heirlooms that merely need
replating or overhauling? Or Just TAX
ing an inventory of your fiat and hol-
low ware that you use every day to
see If it doesn't need resilvering, a
brisk bufing or general repair? Per-
haps that vegetable dish needs to have
the handle soldered-a tray, or coffee
urn should have a few dents removed
or maybe the prongs of the dinner
forks sadly need Strengthening.
It, is perfectly amazing how many
lovely old silver pieces lie around in
corners or packing boxes in the aver
age home just, because they are no
longer bright and shiny or because of
a minor dent or breakage. Generally
these old bits were made when silver
smiths were OF the opinion that silver
was too expensive metal to be used
for the expression of transient mode
and artist craftsmen fashioned ex-
quisitely classical articles. Some of
the old quadruple plate is highly ar
tistic in design and technically per-
feet, and most of it is handwrought.
THERE are, of course, some old
pieces that are not in keeping with
serving customs of this modern day
large silver soup tureens, for instance
Or condiment canisters. Many of
them. however, may be brought back
to usefulness to serve in different ca
pacities. The old soup tureen may be
used as punch bowl, or flower re-
ceptacle for the dinner party table
old spoon holders may serve as cigar
cite holders, and those lovely old cake
compotes make stunning canape plat
tiers.
If the piece in question has basket
handle or side handles, which seem to
mar the general line or design, they
can easily be removed by silyersmith.

piece may be transformed into beau
