they are creating tastes and habits
in them that they will not be able to

l. and no amount Of familiarity
with it makes us like it. but there Is
no denying that its hardships bite far
deeper into those accustomed to soft
living than it does into those who
have never known anything but the
seamy side Of existence.
Naturally we all have a craving for
luxuries, but for all of that we do not
miss the things we have never had so
much as we do the things that we
have had. It's not such a hardship
for the woman who has always done
her housework to cook and wash when
fate is unkind as it Is to the woman
who has always been waited upon by
servants. Those who have never had
anything to wear but hand-re-downs
do not loathe ill-made and ugly
clothes as do those who have always
worn French confections. Coarse food
does not offend the palate Of the man
who has been reared on corned beef
and cabbage as it does that OF the

sorrows crown of sorrow Is remen-
bering happier things"
To prevent this catastrophe be-
falling those he loves and for whom
only too often he works himself to
death, every man should see to it that
his family does not spend all that he
makes as they go along, but that
something Is laid up for rainy day
so that they may not be left destitute
when he is gone. And he should rear
his children with tastes and habits
that accord with their income. No
man has q right TO bring up children
as If they were millionaires unless he
can give them q fortune so that they
can live like millionaires.

Making Out
Christmas
Unjust" List
Let Holiday Giving
Feature Beauty
Items.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

NOT long ago beauty was considered
q luxury. Certainly only limited
few thought Of it as necessity. But
-the general attitude to beauty has
changed delightfully."- and decidedly.
And it took the depression years to
emphasize this change.
During those years received thou
sands upon thousands of letters from
those who had to make some sacri-
dces, big or little. All were reluctant
to give up beauty. Some asked for
substitutes, not that they were con-
tent to accept them, but felt they
had to. Some asked for inexpensive
Or homemade recipes. But one had to
be In dire need to consider giving up
every little beauty aid. And I dare
say that for the majority of women
beauty was among the last things to
be sacrificed during those dark years.
Ill wager that women cut down on
clothes before they cut down on
beauty aids, perhaps they cut down
entertainment and other things first
before curtailing the beauty budget.
And now that the pendulum is
swinging in a happier, more pros
porous direction, beauty is among the
first "muSts" to be reinstated. A buy
ing boom is expected. And beauty
should certainly get its full share.
1t should for many reasons. Beauty
holds an important niche among
women's interests. Beauty, according
to our modern concept, isn't handed
you at birth on a silver platter. 1t
Is something you achieve. Apart from
Its actual effect on ones good looks,
the psychological effect produced by
a good cream or lotion, the lifting in
fiuence of perfume, the exhilarating
effect Of good facial or a scented
self that a change of hairstyle Gre
ates (why it's almost as valuable to
one as change of scene)-that
psychological effect is worth all one
has to pay to procure it.
So, since beauty has such a uni
versal appeal and acceptance what
better gift for women to give other
women, and to themselves. too, for
that matter. than beauty? How many
women on your gift list? Why
bother rushing from counter to
counter to check that list off Put
them all on your beauty list and put
beauty on your must list. You'll save
yourself precious footsteps: you'll null
tiply the sincere votes of thanks and
genuine appreciation. For beauty

Of q more modern attitude to beauty
aids and articles. It's mark of good

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Smoking.

THE alleged injurious and beneficial
effects Of smoking have been put
to the test. The harmful effects are
not important. Neither are the benefi-
cial effects. On the whole, you might
say that smoking is q harmless habit.
So much for smoking from the physi-
illogical point Of view.
Brain workers, especially writer's,
generally maintain that there's ifnag-
inative power in the pipe and the
cigarette. They allege that smoking
has its psychological Justification.
And they are correct on that score.
There are ways to account for the
psychological "pick-me-up" in smok-
ing.
In the first place, smoking, like any
other habit, calls for satiation. In the
case of tobacco, the calls are frequent.
If a habit Is not at ease, one becomes
nervous until it s satisfied. Take
smoke, appease the habit, you may
then concentrate on the mental work
at hand.
Another explanation for the psyche
logical benefits Of smoking Is offered.
Certain areas Of the body, when stina-
ulated, yield pleasant experiences.
The most important Of the zones Of
pleasure is the region Of the mouth.
Infants suck their thumbs for that
reason. And, as adults, We never
quite outgrow the infantile resort to
pleasure. Smoking Is, therefore, re-
garded as the adult substitute for in
fantile habits. Smoking is on that
score an outlet for diffused energy,
nberating tension and promoting con-
centration Of thought.
This second theory seems o little
far-fetched. But, nevertheless, it has
received the approval Of conservative
psychologists who have little respect
for Freud, its originator.

no SAVE some time for your
self before Christmas to
have all those little per-
49, sonal matters of hair, face
and fingers carefully attended to in
plenty of time, so that you will look
your loveliest through the holiday
season. You owe this to yourself and
to your family, and satisfactory re-
suit depends largely on planning out
Immediately just what you need to
have done. and making your appoint
ments early.
Perhaps your last permanent wave
has reached a rather weak state and
needs a few extra curls around the
back or at the sides to pep it up"
Perhaps it is entirely gone and needs
renewal. Either of these processes
should be attended to at once. A few
extra curls is a simple operation, takes
only a short while and is not expen-
sive. With the machineless method,
you hardly realize that it is being
done at all, and the results will be
most gratifying.
If your hair Is dull and looking
for any reason, why not try a harm
less color rinse to give it more life
and high lights. This may be in the
form of a simple vegetable rinse that
is poured over the hair Immediately
following the shampoo, while the hair
Is still wet, or 1t may be . longer
process, such as q blend of oil with
a slight amount Of coloring matter,
which must be left on the hair for a
longer time, and Is used when more
color is needed than can be supplied
by a vegetable rinse. Even this should
not be confused with q dye, as 1t is
not permanent and will gradually
fade off. 1t comes in a wide selec-
ton Of natural hair colors, from light
ash blond on through the darker
shades. It leaves the hair soft and
lustrous, due to the large amount Of
oil in its composition, and, in fact,
reconditions the hair as it tints it.

slightly from overbleaching or un-
satisfactory home attempts to change
its color. there is now way to re-
move the undesirable color and start
over again using the oil tinting pro-
cess mentioned above. This has been
proving most satisfactory and Is done
in a large number of shops in town.
Both the removing and renewing
must, however, be done by professional
operators.
If you are planning to have a per-
manent wave as well as some color
work, it Is advisable to allow several
days after the color treatment before
the permanent. They should not
both be done on the same day.
It is good time to try one Of the
new coiffures, especially If you have
been adhering too closely to the old
forms. Back from the face, off the

~ NE of the common tragedies In
American Life Is that OF the
family that Is reduced from
~ riches to rags, as the phrase
goes, by the death Of the bread win
ner. We see it happen every day. A
man has been a good money maker
and because he loved his wife and chill
dren. and because he got q kick out OF
indulging them, he let them live up
to his earnings.
They had a fine house in the right
neighborhood. They gave swanky
parties. They had the latest thing in
streamlined automobiles. They dressed
beautifully. The boys and girls were
sent to camps and colleges and had
trips to Europe. They lived like rich
people. Then one day the husband
and father died. After the expensive
funeral was over 1t was found that he
LETT them nothing but debts and bills.
Not even little insurance. Not even
a home.
The family was penniless. and, added
to the sorrow of losing one they loved,
the widow and orphaned children
faced the black terror of a poverty
that they had not been prepared to
meet. They were as helpless and for
lorn as a pampered lap dog thrown
suddenly out in the snow to fend for
itself.
WE ALL know women who used to
ride in their lmousines with
liveried ehauffeurs who now walk to
save car fare. We have seen them
move from the avenue to a back street.
We have seen their jewelry and an
tique furniture and rugs sold to pay
the rent and the butcher. We have
seen girls who queened 1t in society
standing behind counters. We have
watched the futile efforts Of middle
aged and elderly women who had never
done anything in their lives but spend
money now trying to make it.
And we have thought that of all the
cruel things q man could do to his
family the cruelest was to let 1t live
beyond its financial means. The fact
that men almost always commit this
crime through love does not palate its
results. Because q man so adores his
wife that he cannot say "No" to her
when she keeps him strapped trying
to keep up with Joneses, and because
he cannot bear to deny his children
the cars and clubs and clothes they
want and that other children have,
his purse is empty when he dies. His
philosophy does not keep his wife and
children from being hungry when they
have no money with which to buy
food.
Many men think that they are
being kind to their families when
they indulge them in things they can
not afford and let them live beyond
their means, but, in reality, they could
do nothing more brutal to them, for
