If Your Hair
Is Red
BY DONNA GRACE

The new vogue Of red hair will
mean we are going to need a lot
Of Egyptian henna. There are
also the auburn dyes that will pro.
duce a satisfactory shade Of red
hair, but the favorite titan tint
will be the Egyptian henna.
Girls have always felt safe in
using this coloring, as it is not a
permanent dye and gradually
wears off. Each shampoo re-
moves some Of the coloring, but
it can always be touched up and
renewed.
There is another kind Of henna
that we hope will not be confused
with this vegetable coloring. It is
the compound henna. This hair
coloring is really not a vegetable
henna coloring at all, but q
powdered dye made up Of chemi.
Gals and some henna or vegetable
stain, and its action is more like
a dye than henna.
Although it is an old coloring
and well-teSted among the hair
specialists, it is no longer q popu.
lar coloring and should not be
used by the amateur. We have
found it unsatisfactory in that the
results may be quite diSappoint-
ing, as 1t is likely to turn dark or
even black when exposed to the
air.
If it is used at all, it must be
in the hands of an expert, so be
sure you select an Egyptian henna
If you are doing your own.
French blueing, or even the com.
mon household blueing, was al.

but as far as know, the modern
hair specialist does not use 1t.
They may use a blueing rinse,
however, with all hair tinting and
bleaching.
When you do your retouching,
apply the mixture to the new
growth next the scalp only, and
not to the length of the hair. The
henna will wear off an fade, so
from time to time the whole head
application will be repeated.

Last night I was invited out
for supper. When I arrived
the table was set, glasses filled,
butter and celery on the table
but no other food in sight.
Being accustomed to the de-
lcious moments of anticipation
whetted by the tantalizing aroma
from the kitchenette Of Jane and
Mary, I was a little disappointed.
Suddenly the door bell rang, and
supper arrived.
The meal, it seemed, came
ready to serve-fried chicken,
fried crusty brown, and toasted

bread, crisp French fries, and
buttered pecan ice cream.

DINNER FOR EIGHT

U4GNENGS 9OES G4On4
''Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am going to have Q dinner
party for four couples, including
my husband and myself, at Q
fashionable hotel. How should
seat them at = long and narrow
table? There win be no guest Of
honor. When / serve q dinner my.
self, should ! serve from the left
or the right? I'M"
Since you are the hostess, you
would sit at the head Of the table.
And when we are seating eight
guests at a long narrow stable, it
means that opposite the hostess q
woman would be seated. For this
place choose the woman whom
you wish to honor most, even if
you don't exactly nominate her
guest Of honor" Then, at her
left, have your husband, since this
will mean that he will be ct your
husbands right.
At your right place the man
guest whom you wish most to
honor. And seat the other guests
according to congenialits. But re.
member not to seat q husband
and wife next to each other-this
should never be done at q dinner
Rather than carry out the plan
Of serving either to your right or
to the left, I suggest that you
serve them according to the honor
you wish to give them. This is
q charming and hospitable way to
do your serving at table. Let's
say that you serve first the
woman guest Of honor, the woman
at your husbands right.

II extensive modernization Of

private financial institution which
operates under the modernization
credit plan and holds q contract
Of insurance with the Federal
Housing Administration.
A home was modernized and the
owner attempted to create q model
nursery, but at the same time
every effort was made to keep the
cost Of the room within the range
Of the average home-owner.
Plaid Wall Paper
The walls were covered with
paper Of q light pastel plaid. The
woodwork was painted a deep
cream and a corner Of the room
which protruded had a guard
placed to prevent the wall being
chipped when games were in
progress.
A composition floor, resembling
planking, was laid. This was easy
to clean, thus safeguarding the
health Of the occupant. It also
lessened the burden Of the person
who cleaned the room. Venetian
blinds, also washable, were hung
at the windows and there were no
curtains to hold the dust.
No ceiling light was used and
wall brackets had shades which
completely eliminated any pos
Sible glare. No wires were strung
about the room to cause falls or
other injuries to child or home.
The furniture was finished in
the honey color so popular in
modern rooms, but borders of
turquoise blue removed any air
of Sophistication. A Juvenile de-
sign was appliqued on the head

was taught to put things away

Famous Authority on Problems OF
Love and Marriage
Is your theme song: Back
ward, Turn Backward, Oh,
Time, in Your Flight?
If it is, and you're q young
person, crying for the good
old times" you've heard Of, but
really know nothing about,
you're apt to be left stranded
when the boat with the happy
voyages leave the shore.
Young men and women, and
more particularly men, spend
some Of the most valuable years
Of their lives looking for some
thing which is as extinct as the
dinosaur, and being miserable
because they can't find 1t.
The following letter Is an
example:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"I've worked hard, and my In.
come is about $4,000 . year. I
am very anxious to marry, II I
could only find the right girl,
but it looks as il she had ceased
to exist. I don't want q bust
ness girl, or one who knows any
thing about politics, or has had
a college education. In fact, /
should prefer q wife who has
never gone through high school.
SHE OBEYED
"My mother looked up to my
father as her lord and master.
His lighteSt word was law. The
neighbOrS said he was q hard
man, and maybe he was. But
she Obeyed him.
81 don't want to establish .
home for one Of those modern
he-wOmen who hold radical views,
smoke cigarettes, know about
drinks, and make up their faces.
81 want my wife to wear an
apron always when she's at home,
a pretty one of evenings, q serv-
iceable one during the day. An
apron consider q badge of
femininity.
'T've been in love with several
girls, devOtedly In love, and Suf-
fered cruelty when I broke with
them. But do not want q woman
of the type they represented to be
my wife or the mother Of my
children.
"DO you think I'm asking too
much, in hoping for . wife who
resembles my dear mother?
BACHELOR"
/ really believe, my dear man, If
you got wife according to those
specifications you would not like
her. She wouldn't fit into the
modern picture.
And much as we may wall about
it, time goes on, and we have to
keep up with the clock.
Married for better or worse to
a woman such as you describe as
your ideal, believe you'd feel as
queer and conspicuous as If you
walked downtown in the cooked
hat and breecheS Of George Wash

REAL COMPANION
Good roads, telephones, bath.
tubs, the movies have about elimi-
mated the woman who regarded her
husbands lighteSt word as law.
Such ladies were like pale carbon
copies Of q notvery-intereStiI1g orr
ginal.
In the place Of these, modern
man-if he chooses wisely-has q
real companion, woman whose
comradeShip is an inspiration.
And when adversely knocks at
the door, as it did pretty fire.
quently in those bitter years Of
the depression, 1t Is not unlikely
that the modern wife with buSi'
ness experience may be able to
turn her hand to something which
will help boil the pot.
Humor is one Of the great-if
not the greatest-assetS Of modern
life, and a girl such as you describe
as your ideal would be woefully
lacking In humor.
There are millions Of modern
girls, clever and capable, who want
husbands, homes and babies as
much as you do. Try for one OF
these.
Doubtless she'll agree to wear
an apron as q bit Of domestic
property.
