I know 8 pair of twins, seven years old, and I think they are ex- cellent examples of habit.
 This boy and girl are identical twins" And they have unusually wise parents. Yet there is such a difference between them, that many amusing things happen.
 lister Waits on Davie
 Davie is still 8 baby as far as thinking for himself goes. Susie IS regular little mother to him. She tells him what to wear, ties his shoes and acts as guide on the way to school. Without her, he doesn't come home. He plays about some where until she hunts him up, or, if she Is sick, an older brother locates him.
 This errant lad is just as much a man as can be. He is smart and everybody's sweetheart, just as his sister is. But something changed him, or rather interrupted his in- dependence in babyhood. Just what, don't know. rather think it was not one or two happenings, but merely the slow growth of habit. Susie, perhaps, with her latent motherly instincts, began to wait on her twin. He let her do it. It evidently was sheer labor of love on her part; if she had protested or demanded some service of him, he would probably have snapped into it.
 Time will even things up, because this young lazibones has fine stuff in him. He may be doing the favors a dozen years from now. But this is not the point I have in mind now. It Is rather that too much atten- ton in little things robs our child C independence.
 It is so natural for us to let any, one who will make us comfortable The mother who won't let her child dress himself when he is little be- cause he can't do 1t quickly or well, Is going to be dressing him until he is far past the right age. If she doesn't allow him to take his own bath when he is three, he may or may not be bathing himself at six.
 Easy To Be Dependent
 If your small son or daughter were able to dispense with your services overnight, and quickly adjust them- selves to the new order, 1t must .- be remembered that there is always certain percentage who have formed such fixed habits of de- pel. dence that to hand them over to themselves amounts to hyzterias

WHAT are they saying of the
 w famous Mrs. Simpson in Bal timore today?
 "Oh, yes Wallis Warfieldl" a young woman, prominent in Balti- more socieity, exclaimed. "I didn't see her that time she was here for the races in 1884. I wish I had. They say her husbands right handsome. Do you think he'll be knighted?"
 Said a member of the family now occupying Mrs. Simpsons home at PIP Riddle St.: T guess those War fields had to struggle along just about the way we are now. Gosh, wouldn't it be funny if one of us should ever see palace!"
 Mrs. Simpsons closest relatives here-Henry M. Warf1eld, an uncle, and Mrs. Zachary Robert Lewis, 8 cousin-are among those who have no comments to make about their relative in London. They do not wish to be quoted.
 There Is little doubt that when Wallis Warfleld Spencer Simpson next visits her home town, her ar- rival will be greeted with a display of interest equal to, If not exceed ing, that occasioned when Marie, Queen of Roumania, was enter tained here dozen or so years ago. WILL Wallis warfield come back
 w as Lady Simpson? This ques- tion is in the air whenever the for mer Baltimore debutate is mention ed among those who knew her in the days before her first marriage. Among those who know her still, the view is, generally, that such honor for Earnest Simpson is alto- gether likely.
 The Simpsons friends here feel that, in discussions of Mrs. Simp- sons frequent appearances with Ed ward VIII, the English monarch's friendship with her husband has been under-stressed.
 THERE is interest, too, in Bal
 Il timore, in Mrs. Simpsons new home, at No. 16 Cumberland Ter race in London. Those who have visited the Simpsons apartment in Bryanston Court hope they'll be in- vited to the new home.
 They don't expect Mrs. Simpson to be stand -offish or "upstage", now that her name appears frequently in the British Court Circular. They point out that she never has been stand -offish.
 Although the Simpsons have entry to the most exclusive society in Lon don, they always have lived with comparatively simplicity and lack of display. Their Bryanston Court apartment was notable for its home like atmosphere. The drawing room had apple green walls and ceiling. with curtains and carpet to match. There was a fireplace, shelves lined with books, plenty of easy chairs, a

GI0riting Yourself
By Alicia Hart

s"The only way of keeping the hair clean is by washing it with soap and water" writes Dr. Oscar l.. Levin in his new book, Keep Your Hair On"
 "Washing never did and never will harm the hair," Dr. Levin con- tinues. Tt does not dry the scalp, it does not destroy the hair growth and it does not cause or increase dandruff. On the contrary, soap and water simply clean and do not lose their historic property when coming in contact with the scalp and hair.
 Normally the hair should be washed twice a week, but. if 1n- lection is present, once 8 day or even more often is not too much. People with dry hair claim that washing is not good for it. The truth is that if they washed their hair more frequently the scalp con- dition which causes dryness might then have chance to be cured"
 In the same chapter ,Dr. Levin says that massage of the scalp night and morning-should become just as much a ritual as brushing the teeth. He points out that mas sage stimulates hair growth by causing a freshening rush of blood to thescalp, nourishing all the tis- sues that have to do with the growth of the hair. He explains that 1t loosens the scalp generally, assures good circulation and promotes the growth of the fat pad under the scalp, thus preventing the degenera- tion of the scalp and hair follicles. In addition to the 10-minute massage twice a day rule, Dr. Levin lists several others which. from a medical point of view, are impor- tant to men, as well as women, who want to keep their hair and keep 1t healthy and attractive. Here are some of them:
 "Each member of 6 family should
 have his own comb and brush and use no other. Brushing cannot be overdone, and 1t must become part of a daily routine.
 "The best soaps to use on the scalp and hair are castillo and tinc- ture of green soap.
 For hair with tendency to dry ness, the white of an egg may bs used in the water. After the sham poo. olive, almond or cocoanut oil may be rubbed into the scalp tr advantage: or a cream made from

any such society is to be formed believe it should be one for the uni versal acceptance of the golden rule of hygiene. Tn the simplest words this is the rule that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Unfortunately, in order to live up to that rule you have to call it cri, and few of the big noises in public health administration would agree to that, seeing l pro posed it in the first place.
 Yet, after all, any one with fair conscience may adopt and follow the golden rule of hygiene and promulgate 1t among his friends and inculcate 1t in his children. Indeed, thousands of square-hooting Iolk are doing this now. Despite the vague and vacillating attitude of the politically subservient public health administrators, thousands Of fam- flies have found that adoption of the golden rule of hygiene mater ially decreases the occurrence of respiratory infections in the house. hold.

THE END
Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

Paris, (UP)-Short-sleeved wed- ding gowns are back in favor agaln for the good reason that they readily can be converted into prac- tical dinner gowns.
 The old-fashioned wedding gown which was worn at the church and then laid away in lavender and rose leaves to be looked at sentimentally every anniversary, no longer exists. In its place is 8 modern gown that, once the train is chopped off ana the back slit, becomes suitable for evening wear.
 In white Hawaiian crepe, a modern wedding gown is fashioned with a high round neck. finished with a small roll-over collar that has been cut on the bias and doubled. The elbow-length sleeves are attached to the shoulder seam in groups of small tucks so that the fulness puffs out to broaden the shoulders slightly.
 The same fulness is repeated to a lesser degree in the front bodice where 1t is pulled into the waist by shirring and finished by a small, tailored belt of ivory crepe. The skirt is moulded closely to the body as far as the knees, then flares out into a long train in back.
 The Parisian bride who wore this gown had a long tulle train which was suspended at the nape of the neck from coronet of real gardenias. The coronet did not cross over the front of the head, leaving a simple hair coiffure un- spoiled.
 Stiff white slipper satin often is used for short-sleeved wedding gowns. This satin has more body than the ordinary variety and is well adapted for full skirts or trains.

 In some cases people are as- phyxiated while working in tanks which formerly contained benzol. Others are poisoned gradually by benzene fumes inhaled during the course of their work. Benzene poisoning occurs more often in cold than in warm weather, be- cause ventilation is greatly re- duced by closing of windows and doors. Women about to become mothers, and young girls seem es- pecially predisposed to benzene poisoning from inhaling benzene fumes.

H. M. F. B. FOR THE CRI.
 Perhaps you have noticed at one time or another when coming down with coryza, sore throat, laryngitis, bronchitis, grip, the flu or the measles. how much your trouble was relieved when you got snug in bed. Much of the local and the general distress of such illness is due to un- balanced circulation, too much blood (congestion) here, too little there. With warmth and relaxation in bed the circulation becomes eoualized and the unpleasant symp- toms are relieved.
 This is one reason why physicians universally advise remaining in bed when you are getting the cri. Shucks, even if were the only doc- tor in the world who calls it cri, who has a better name for tte Don't answer until you have read the It. tie lesson in the ways of health "Call it Cri." If you find anything in the booklet that shouldn't be there, or if you fail to find anything that should be there, please give 8 friendly tip about it. for the good of the service. I am particularly anxious to build up public con- science, by making one aware Of the golden rule in hygiene.
 A correspondent proposes the formation of an anti-cri society to educate the public in the prevention of respiratory infections: says that among my disciples are many who would like to pass along the good word and help make this the 'healthiest and most healthful city,. But no, the idea does not appeal to me. I suppose the attitude of the public toward respiratory infections (the cri, as would say) is like that of the pastor who preached about sin-he was against 1t. Societies or movements set up to oppose some thing, organizations of antis. some- how do not have much success. Ii lanolin, glycerin and rose water in equal parts.

Use firm pillows rather than soft ones, as the latter tend to overheat the head. As soon as any unusual symptoms appears, such as dandrufI or incipent badness, consult a der- matologist for scientific advice" | NEXT: Care of the hands.

The first signs of benzene poison ing are headache, dizziness, loss of appetite. fatigue. and general weak ness. Later the benzene affects the blood. As soon as there is any Sus- picion of poisoning from benzene or other gases, the person should change dlis employment, preferably to open-air work, to avoid contact with the poison.
 Doctors treat such cases with plenty of rest, fresh air, and sum- shine; and with foods and drugs planned particularly to build up the blood. In very severe cases, blood transmission may be necessary to save life.
 Gasoline poisoning resembles that caused by benzene, and drowsiness is a prominent symptom. Occa- sionally children drink gasoline or coal oil. These substances seem to act like alcohol, except that they produce much more irritation ot stomach and intestines.
 Following drinking of such poisons the first thing to do is to get as much of the poison as possible out of the stomach.
 Vomiting may be brought on by any of the common methods. such as putting the finger down the throat, swallowing salt water. or having the doctor inject drugs which cause vomiting.
 After collapse the patient irn- mediately should be put at rest and kept warm and quiet. Coffee may be given as a stimulant.
