TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Today's native is firm, steadfast

Peasant linens, dishes of pottery,
wooden salad bowls, and electrical
equipment that makes service
without a maid simple has long
been recognized by wise hostesses
as much more in keeping with
such an environment.
In small apartments informal
or impromptu parties are popular.
They take little effort on the part
of the hostess and make it pos
sible for guests to enter into the
actual preparation of food.
Refreshments go more toward
sandwiches and quickly made
salads on these Spur-of -the-moment
occasions.
This demands well-filled pantry
shelf. But since only certain types
of refreshments are favored, it
means that choice can be limited.
Canned food that can be used
in sandwich spreads, fruits and
vegetables that are adapted to
salad making, olives, pickles,
salad dressings, canape
crackers and cocktail tidbits are
needed. It is wise also to have
in the refrigerator cans. of beer
that is chilled for immediate con-
sumption.
Here are recipes that I believe
you will like to clip for use at
your next party:

Beauty
Natural Color
Of
By DONNA GRACE

Nearly every m Id dle.age
woman and many young women
have asked this question, and they
feel that there must be some W :
to bring back the natural color
when it has faded.
There are some cases were
faded gray or white hair can be
restored to it's original color, but
they are very few.
Where the color has faded
Trough illness, it may sometimes
be restored, but even in those rare
cases it is not due to the changing

ing at middle age and we do not
know any chemical or lotion that
can be guaranteed to restore the
natural color.
This means there IS a choice of
two courses to take for the aver
age woman. The first is to accept
the .,ray or white hair and keep it
healthy and beautifully groomed.
Gray or white hair is sometimes
very flattering if ones face is ami.
mated and the skin is good.
The other course is to apply a
coloring as near as possible like
IT, natural coloring. This is, as
we know, the favored course.
Women in business and those
holding prominent social positions
know that there is nothing that
ages them as does gray hair. They
just feel they cannot afford to
have it. Many of these girls are
young in every way except their
hair, which seems to relegate them
to a class of the old or middle
aged groups.
Dyed hair can be made so at
tractive and natural with the
modern scientific methods that
there is no reason why one should
have gray hair. Suitable dyes in
a great variety of tints and shades
are put up ready for use, and they
are easy for any clever girl to
apply.

Or do you write: Cant you

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

that it is not, and, therefore, he

cause at times this is very embaS-

WANT HARMONY"
You are right about this. "a
woman should not help a man put
on his coat. And all manly men
growl, or feel like growing, if a
woman does this. They don't
want this "mollycoddling." Of
course, it's different If a man is
crippled or i'll. I'm taking these
exceptions for granted.
But women, bless 'em, should
always be given this assistance by
men, should always be given this
gallant and generous attention.
The well-bred man even resents,
and correctly, too, a walters help
ing a woman on with her coat, for
he knows that he himself should
stand behind her chair and help
her to take off her coat, when they
have just entered a restaurant,
and help her to put it on when
they are about to leave. And on
any other occasion, too, a man,
the minute a woman starts to put
on her coat, should spring to
helpful attention"
