GlOrifwng Yourself
By Ancla Hart

Your coiSfure for holiday parties can be as impressive as the jewel in the toe of Q movie stars Christ. mas stocking, demure as the angel on the greeting card to grandma Of sophisticated as the Wrappings on the package from an art student iHl Paris. But whether it's spectacular demure or dramatically smart, q win be handsome. Never have hair- dresses been more alluring,
 The prettiest heads these gala evening are sleek on top, then m. ished with halo rolls or frames oi loose curis, PoInpadour effects ore fashionable, but don't attempt Q severe version. unless your features are fairly small and just about per- feet, The average face needs curls or fluffiness placed low behind eart to soften the otherwise hard lint of the jaw.
 Making PompadSur
 If your hair hasn't been cut tot short at the back, you probably car arrange pompadour at home Simply brush your hair upward al the way around, tie c thread oi slender ribbon around the ends that are gathered on top of the head then arrange those ends in loost ringlets, making sure, of course, that the thread is well covered. If lNtlt ends persist in falling down ovei your neck, fasten them in place witl' Q tiny jewelled pin or with . little jewelled comb
 Tiares and bandeaux of feathers jewels and ribbons are seen Q great deal, And flower headdresses witt wells to cover all or part of the face continue to hold their own. II you want Q 1ieaddress for the biggest ball of the holiday season, do spend much time and care selecting it make sure that 1t Is becoming tt you and in keeping with the kint of gown you plan to wear. It's mistake indeed to get c frothy, ultrl feminine, most formal headdress tt go with your white glamor gir gown, then to wear 1t with c long sleeved black dinner dress.
 Col0red Looks
 A famous hair stylist reports tha women in Paris are going In fol colored hair. Using Q light rins' which can be washed out tho nex day. they achieve attention-gettint | light blue. green and orchid effecti which contract handsomely witt black, the favorite costume color o' parisiennes,
 The authority says also that many French women are wearing twists those vertical rolls which 90 iron the nape of the neck up to the tor of thead. And that earrings ar' becoming increasingly important be- cause they take away from the eari that bare look which the new haii styles tend to emphasize.

beauty, her galety kusn Ms"e" --all in the name of love, she must eventually realize that she has short- changed herself. We are loved for what we are-- more than for tho sacrifices we have made. And the sooner all young women realize that the fewer cheat ed and unhappy middle-aged wo. men there will be In the world.
 Don't always put your children first. Tho mother who makes old clothes "do" for herself 30 that her children can be dressed within an inch of thier lives isn't being fair to either herself, her husband, or the children.
 Men want to be proud of their wives. It is much more important to- them that their wives be we'll dressed than that their children look as though their pictures could be used In the pages of an expen- SiYe style magazine. Children want to be proud of the mother, too. And any woman will admit that nothing In the world is 50 depressing as shabby clothes. Few things make 0 woman less sociable. The old refrain 'T can't go because I haven't Q thing to wear" is all too often true even today where mothers are con" cerned.
 But even more important than . mothers spending her share of tho family check on herself Is the need for her to bo tho person she was before she ever changed her name. She hes to be someone besides her husbands wife and her children's mother.
 If you are . young woman just starting the job of wife and Moth- or never let 1t be said of you, "she lives for her family" Have the cap- acity and desire to live, at least ia part, for yourself.

wHAr ro DO ABOUT TNE FLU

At present tho pathologiStS and research Investigators seem to favor tho conclusion that influenza. at any rate the malady that attacked 500, 100000 people and cost perhaps i6,000,000 lives In 1918 Cn many parts of the world) is Q virus diS. case" By that they mean that the spread of the disease is due to the passage of c virus from one person to another (just how the virus spreads they do not all agrec) and not by e germ. At least no specific germ or bactcrium has been proved responsible for influenza. That q virus IS concerned is proved by tho fact that it infectS ferreb and mice, when inoculated, producing charae. teristic diseases in both species.
 If the scientific Investigators are right. 1t S difficult to account for the periodic outbreak Of influenza epidemics or pandemics. They sug- gcSt that perhaps these sporadic cases or small epidemicS occur be- cause rot oil of the population be- came immune ct the time of the 1913 pandemic. This would imply that influenza infection itself pro- duces some immunity agalngt Sub- sequent attack. Formerly we be. lieved that such infection did not confer any immunity; in fact ab. sence of leucocytosis tincreaSe in number of white corpuscleS ln the blood was regarded as ono Of tho signs distinguishing severe ifl. huenza from ordinary pneumonia.
 It is my firm belief that the practice of taking afi alleged "cold cure" at tic first indication of on. coming "grip" or "fu" b A common predispoglng facter of influenza. Especially # the medicine contains acetanilide or pheiiacetine or ns. pirin or antipyrin: It is my. belief that resoyt to such drugs gravely interferes with whatever natural itnmunity.developing capacity the individual may have, no matter whether the infection B influenza or pneumonia. ,, ,Me, fft'
