Must
Be Rinsed
Thoroughly
To Insure Healthy
Scalp and
Luster.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

TELL a woman that her cleansing
methods aren't really thorough.
She will hate you for the remark,
but that remark will send her scurry-
ing in search Of newer, more modern,
more promising ways and means.
The other day we were told that
heretofore no head of hair has been
shampooed really clean, or at least
that no head was ever rinsed so
thoroughly that not vestige of soap
suds remained. That remained Ike
q too general statement, and We hate
general statements at best. So we
watched a head being shampooed
very vigorously, rinsed thoroughly
with warm water, then cold and then
a vinegar rinse. The hair squeaked
between the operators fingers. which
we always regarded as a sign of soap
lessness. And then new prepara-
ton that looks very much like salt
crystals was dissolved in water,
poured over the head and. presto a
lather. This In turn was rinsed away,
more of the dissolved preparation
added and this time not a sign of a
| lather.
With this demonstration, the
makers of the new product explain
that soap and water alone do not
really clean, particularly so in hard
water areas. Soap and water, IN
themselves contain and necessarily
leave in the scalp and skin pores and
hair follicles variety of insoluole
mineral salts and soap deposits that
cause imperfections in skin, scalp and
hair.
One thing that beauty authorities
have known for some time is that
hair that is not thoroughly sham
pooed can look positively dull and
even dirty. Also very often a peppery
dingy appearance caused by insuffi-
! clent rinslng is dismissed with the
time-worn excuse "dandruff." There
Is such thing as soap dandruff, you
know, that has quite the same effect
| on the hair as actual dandruff. It is
| this soap dandruff or soap scum
which clings so tenaciously, particu-
larly in hard water. that originally
created the need for acid rinses such
as vinegar or lemon. But, We are now
told, these acid rinses do no. serve
their purpose sufficiently. This prep
| aration leaves the water soft as silk,
the hair soft and shimmery. makes
soap lather more quickly and gener-
ously, may be used for manicures,
bathing and shaving
understand the preparation was
first introduced through beauty salons
in conjunction with shampoo treat
ments. This doesn't mean that lazy
ones are to be encouraged to cut down
on the hundred strokes of the brush
each day. But it does mean that II
you've been at all in doubt about
the out and out cleanliness of your
hair after a brisk shampoo you can
clear your conscience along with any
remaining soap curd.

Much Talk
May Defeat
It's Purpose
Few Terse Words Bet
ter Than Lengthy
Speech.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

WE TALK too much to children.
wv Their ears are deafened by the
sound of words descending upon them
In floods. A child makes a mistake
and the nearest person makes a long
speech about it. Then the next one
takes it I'D and the flood of words
spreads and spreads until the child
Is drowned out by them. And no
good has been accomplished.
what did your mother say?"
"I don't know. I didn't listen. The
whole family jumped on me and
talked at me until I'm nearly crazy.
I'm going of somewhere so I won't
hear them again for week."
More children than we realize run
away from home and school because
they have been talked into exhaus-
tion. Well-meaning people say. why
don't you talk to him?" AS if every
body within talking distance had not
already talked and talked.
Children are discouraged from dis
cussing their problems at home by the
food of words that are turned on at
the first suggestion from them. Whats
that? You want to go on the radio?
You must be out of your head. Such
foolishness never did listen to. The
best thing for you to do is to put that
idea right out of your head and attend
to your lessons. Father, did you hear
this? Lily Anne wants to be radio
star"
The idea so stirs mother that she
calls up Aunt Tillie, who says, Mercy
sakes! Do you suppose she is going
to take after Aunt Charlotte? Ill be
right over We must nip this in the
bud" So the words are multiplied,
and what may have been nothing
more than the casual remark of a
growing child becomes a stumbling
block to her growth.
This is so, many times on many diff
ferent occasions. Any expression by
any child calls for talk and plenty Of
1t. What children need most Is the
silence that follows the still small
voice of authority. This voice does
not break the silence until there is
occasion for it. And these occasions
are very rare.
Most of the things children do,
most of their dreams and plans are
passing phases of their growth. All
that is needed is the opportunity to
tell them to some listening, under
standing ear. A smile, nod, gentle
think SOP" is usually enough. Op-
position supplies power to budding
ideas. so If you think that an idea
ought to be nipped in the bud, just
let it talk itself out while you keep
still. Anxious parents and relatives
often supply the needed spark that
sets off some childish mistake because
they feel duty bound to oppose it.
Talking uses great deal of energy.
Children can afford that, but grown
people would better save theirs for
emergencies. BY talking out their
dreams and hopes and plans, the
children clarity their minds, and often
that is all that they want to do. Just
to get things straight in my head"
one child expressed it.
Try listening. Try letting the chill
dren do the talking. Speak with au-
thority when you speak and let that
be rarely.

r r AVE you been looking for a
street frock as smart as it can
be, yet easier than most TO
L i make? Then choose this
smooth, chic dress. that's not only
simple, but grand to wear.
You'll enjoy wearing it, too, whether
your choice is more conservative dark
ground print or festive splashy print
that can be worn for informal dress-up.
You'll adore the ample square neck
line when you come to slip the frock
over your head. and glory in the mill
taristlc air of the comfortable sling
sleeves. Note, too, the high-rising
skirt panel and narrow belt. As a
matter of fact, this design leads a
double life, for you can also make it in
house dress-use gingharn or percale.
And for street wear printed crepe,
cotton or silk. But. Of course. linen,
shantung and other fabrics are also
effective.

make its appearance in the mar
kets this week. 1t halls from Texas

cents. Another special We found con-
sists Of small punches Of asparagus
at 10 cents a bunch. Enough for two
servings (however, If one is especially
fond of this Spring vegetable, it would
be well to expand and buy one bunch
for each serving). Eggplant is ex-
ceptionally nice this week, appearing
to be one Of the weeks best buys.
Other inexpensive items include broc-
coli, dandelion greens, cabbage sprouts,
Texas beets and sweet potatoes. Okra,
although not in season, is strangely
plentiful. The green snap beans and
butter beans coming from Florida and
Cuba, are superior to any seen so far
this year. The Florida new potatoes
are being received in large lots now
and are considerably lower in price
than the former Winter shipments.
THE new arrival at the fruit coun-
L ters is garden rhubarb. We have

does not compare with the garden

comparison to those received the very
first Of the season. The current ship
ments, however, are red-ripe, beau-
tifully firm and full of flavor. Pine
apple. the Spring tonic fruit, is cheap
this week, and honeydews continue to
drop in price daily. Grapes. large and
small, white as we'll as the mammoth
black ones from Argentina, have ap-
peared again. 1t has been almost I'M
possible lately to find even the small

little straw bonnet bags to match
the f1ower-trimmed hats? They are

Tips on the Food Market
By LUCH EBERLY.

THE fryer and broiler season Is In
full swing. Though there was a
rumor that there will be scarcity Of
young fowl, due to the severe Winter, 1t
appears that there are plenty on hand
to meet the current demand. AS the
Summer advances the Easter chicks
will I'LL the increasing need. the mer-
chants say. So, after all, there is no
cause for concern and there should GER
tainly be no large advance in prices.
The buy the piece" plan has become
very popular in Washington. Almost
all the large stores and poultry stalls
in the local markets will sell you
pound Of breast meat or drumsticks,
instead Of the whole bird. 1t is an
economical way to buy, too, especially
for the small family. And when pic.
mic time rolls in it will be grand to
have enough Of those favorite pieces
to 20 around.

white, with pastel flowers and in
all one tone, the flowers matching
the background. Another tricky thing
about these is that you can get gloves
to match. The gloves are of fabric,
with felt cuffs showing little garland
of flowers on the upper side.
A MOTHER novelty is the water
snake skin bag with its fascinat-
ing scaly pattern. These are dyed in
peacock green, Chinese red and several
other popular colors and are shown in
a variety Of styles and prices from IS
to $3.50 These bags also have
matching gloves that are a bit start
ling. Snakeskin is used for the backs
of the gloves and plain kid for the
palms. They are priced at 1895.
Gloves and bags are so closely re-
lated this season that you will be able
to match them up without much
trouble. Speaking of snakeskin, belts
are also made in the same colors as
the bags and gloves and afford a
further opportunity for ensembling.
Wooden bead bags will continue in
fashion this Spring. A new one that
has just appeared is a rectangular
shape with imitation tortoise shell top
and diagonal rows of square wooden
pieces alternating with rows of smaller
Opaque white beads. This is q very
good model.
THE miser bag which was shown
in the early Winter in dark fab
RIGS is now out in its Spring dress of
linen with design of small beads
worked over its surface. It Is q little
complicated to open and sure proof
against losing any Of its contents
easily. Two bars with ball ends, on
which the linen IS shirred and stitched,
are held together by q bracelet-size
ring. The change purse and other
things inside are all attached to fine
metal chains, eliminating any chance
Of their dropping to the floor. These
come in a lovely array of colors, some
with beaded design in the same color
and others with contrast color. These
will be particularly smart for Summer
wear.
Evening bags make welcome Easter
gifts for the younger set. An es-
pecially lovely one Is the shell bag in
white beaded chiffon over pale yellow.
The clasp fastening Is q mother Of
pearl shell with a round pearl in the
center. Small circles of tiny lace with
bead centers give delicate, SPRING
like touch. Chinese red taffeta makes
an adorable party bag with lots of
gathers and rows Of perky ruching.
It Is wide at the sides, has a narrow
gold top and new-looking clasp and
handle.
We hear that monograms are as
good as ever and a medium-size round
letter is well liked. Very chic in
new white doeskin glove is one with
a colored upper fastening on the back
Of the hand starting midway down
from the knuckles and used for both
ornamentation and closing. 1t takes
the place of the usual three lines of
stitching, and the broad line of bright
color or black is noticeably smart and
different. Another new glove is a
half f-and-half affair of chamois and
tan leather. The upper side is chamois
fastening with brown wooden but
ton, and the under side washable tan
kid. This color combination can be
worn with q wide variety Of swagger-
type clothes.

will aff1ict him in later life.
If ever there is to be an end to this
perennial conflict between the two
sexes, women will have to undertake
the correction which will bring about
peace. Mans conception Of time is
fixed and Interchangeable. Woman's
may be, too, but she never will be able
to defend its fixity and unchange-
ability on the ground of its logic.
However eloquently she may argue,
her idea on the subject will be one
Of those things that exist lust be-
cause"
MANS conception Of time-and
women might as we'll recognize it
and adjust themselves to its an
economic imperative. Time is the
container in which he delivers his
talent to his employer in exchange
for the wherewithal to buy bread and
butter. 1t might be an eight-hour
container, ten-hour. or perhaps two:
the size varying in an indirect ratio
to the quality of the talent put into
the container.
The man you marry, therefore, or
the one you might marry, is con-
ditioned to think of time in terms Of
money. 1t may not actually be that,
OF course The time the wife. the
fiancee, or the girl with whom he has
a date that night may be entirely
divorced from the minutes in mans
life that mean money, but don't think
to get by with any such argument If
you keep him waiting.
The best story Of woman's late
ness we know goes back to the early
postwar days in Washington. 1t in
wolves two reasonably intelligent per-

? OF long ago made the asser-
ton in this column that the
sirens who break up so many
Loo,as v,oceoSced M knOUlc6pp

/ homes possessed no knowledge
of how to charm men that every
woman does not know. Furthermore,
I opined that if wives would only take
the trouble to practice the arts and
allurements upon their husbands after
marriage that they did before mar
riage they would not be confronted
so often with the problem Of the
Other Woman, nor called upon to
shed so many tears.
Commenting, upon this statement a
correspondent says: What you say
about holding q husband Is quite
true. There isn't a woman In the
world so dull that she doesn't know
the come-on in the love game and
how to please man. Especially does
every wife know how to work her hus-
band. She knows his every foible
and weakness, and can play upon
them as upon q harp with thousand
strings. She knows that in order to
keep her husband eating out Of her
hand she must have angels food in 1t.
She knows that she must be easy on
the, eyes; that she must be q gay
and amusing companion; that she
must be an expert incense burner.
"It isn't that we wives don't know
how to please our husbands. 1t Is just
that we get tired. We get worn out.
We can't keep 1t up"
OF course, you can't keep 1t up. Nor
did I intend to suggest that you
should. No woman can be perpetually
fascinating, nor could any husband
stand one who was always coquetting
with him. She would get on his
nerves, and he would wish she would
stay put and take marriage as it is
instead of play-acting about 1t. Nor
would any man in his senses expect
his wife to look as If she had Just
walked out Of a beauty shop when
she had been up all night with q
sick baby and was cooking breakfast.
Neither are many men so abnormally
vain that they would like their wives
to work like coal-heavers feeding
them on flattery.

MARRIAGE Is marriage. 1t isn't
AA courtship. It isn't putting on q
show. It isn't girl with perfume
behind her ears and q fresh wave in
her hair. 1T isn't q man bringing
his sweetie beribboned box of candy.
It Is q couple settling down to the
real business of life, and knowing
each other well enough and trusting
each other well enough to take love
for granted.
Just because most husbands and
wives spend their evenings discussing
baby formulas and the price of gro
ceries and how to meet a note in the
bank is no sign that they are any less
alluring to each other or that their
conversation Is less interesting than
it was when they put in the time prob
ing into the state Of their hearts.
But II there are allurements, such
as wearing pink silk and lace negliges
when she has to do her own cooking,
that q wife cannot keep on practicing
after marriage, there are plenty Of
other bits Of magic that she can work
that are just as potent in driving
rivals away.
She can be, for instance, the genii
