way because that's the way poor,
faulty, inconsistent human nature Is
built And no doubt any man could
ask as many why's about the peculiar

We are all selfish and want to do the
way We want to do, and We are all TOO
conceited to admit our faults, and We
are all given to passing the buck and
laying the blame for our mistakes and
shortcomings on others.
That Is why husbands expect their
wives to write the letters they should
write, and don't, to their mothers,
and why they expect friend wife to
entertain mother when she comes on 4
visit and trot around with her to the
stores and the prayer meetings while

That is why every mother in law
considers her son too good for his
wife and doesn't see why the wife
doesn't think it 4 pleasure and q
privilege to pick up after Tom as shs

pride not to be able to support his

And it is because men like to splurge

Be Tinted
By Expert
Have R etouching g
Done Before Starting
on Your Vacation.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

MANY women come to grief during
their vacation jaunts because
they permit strangers in strange towns
to color their hair (by strange methods
perhaps.
There are few very reputable,
nationally, in fact, internationally.
known hair dyes, shampoo tints and
similar coloring agents, the manu-
factures Of which have gone to great
expense and trouble in sending
corps Of representatives to the better
beauty shops to train operators. The
shades are uniform. The technique OF
application fairly uniform. So that If
you happen to have one of those
coloring agents applied, you should not
have much difficulty finding an expert
to do the work properly
1t is always a wise plan, however,
to have the work done before you
start off on your vacation-have it
done by the expert who knows your
hair, who has given you predisposition
tests, who knows precisely what shade
you need and how long the coloring
agent may be allowed to remain on
your hair. II you are one who has
the work done regularly you probably
have found one or two operators whom
you prefer.
Women who make no attempt to
deny that they are particular to the
point Of being "fussy" when it comes to
hair coloring prefer to have their hair
tinted week or even two weeks ahead
OF time, If necessary, by their regular"
operator rather than entrust this i'm
portant work to one whose work they
do not know enough about. If you
can time" these coloring treatments
during the vacation period, SO much
the better. One woman I know comes
into town once a month, during the
Summer, from distance of $50 miles
just to have her hair tinted. She tells
a sad but true story Of how her hair
turned a carroty red one Summer
under the not-soknowing hand of 4
country tinting so-called expert.
Some women need retouch treat
ments only once every six weeks or
eight weeks depending entirely upon
the rapidity with which the hair grows
out at the roots. II the hair is very
slow to grow out, treatment Just
before one starts on ones vacation, or
even a Summer in the country, may
take one right through the Summer
without neoessitating a touch-up until
one returns.
The purpose Of hair tinting treat
ments Is not only to cover gray, but
to make the hair more alive if It is
drab, to enhance its natural color.
A shade lighter Is permissible; but
certainly the change should be 50
grsdual that even your best friends
won't know. That's the true test Of
successful hair tinting.

Must Be

Best to Ignore Minor
Fights Between
Ones Children.
BY ANGELO PATRI.


TOBY and Tiny are twins and, like
all little brothers and sisters, they
hght. Their mother tries hard to
teach them to dwell together in
brotherly, sisterly love, but no day
passes without = battle. Recently
they did themselves proud by staging
a scene before their august grand-aunt
who seems to think that little children
ought to come out OF glass cases, pink
as peaches and holy as angels.
Grand-aunt Ellen was paying a
state visit to the children's mother. OF
course she asked about the children.
Mother said they were playing out
in the sand pile and secretly hoped
that grand-aunt would not think about
them again. Apparently she had
decided to let them rest in the sand
pile because she did not mention them
again during her visit Mother con-
graduated herself upon their non
appearance and gracefully said good
by TO grandaunt from the steps at the
front door
Just as the old lady was about tc
step into her car there came sound
Of battle. Tearing around the corner
came Tiny, her face purple with the
effort she was making to escape
bearing Toby's woolly horse like q
battle trophy. Toby was holding haro
to the tail Of Tiny's sweater anG
pulling back for dear life His face
was red and swollen with the intensity
Of his emontions. Both were yelling
madly at each other. "Lemme go
Lemme go!" You gimme that You
gimme that" Then over they rolled
in a tangled heap at mothers feet
Grand-aunt gave one tremendou,
glare at the struggling mass on the
drive and banged the car door behind
her

difference in the durability Is 80 slight
it is really not worth worrying about.
If you have good box springs they
will only need 10 have the ticking
cleaned every so often. However. If
you are starting out to purchase q
new one, be sure to ask the salesman
II what you are looking at Is q real
box spring. The reason for this Is
that few years ago box spring was
the only one covered with ticking, but
today several firms have so encHed
their coil springs. and unless you ask,
you are very apt to hnd that what
you thought was box spring Is only
an ordinary spring covered. To make
certain as to which Is which, when
you are in the shop place your hand
on top Of the spring and slide it back
and forth. The box spring will remain
stationary under this movement, while
the covered spring variety will shake
like Jelly nsh."

the sake of looks, and then to purchase

The order should be reversed--spend
your money buying the best of the

funds to purchase just the bed you

one-well then, call in your favorite

from the original-presto, you have
twin beds.

springs are in good condition. Just
remember that every one sleeps 6 or 7
hours out Of every a. Although that
doesn't sound like such = lot, when
you realize that the average person
spends about Is years of their life in
bed, maybe you will be little more
careful in purchasing the best and
then keeping it that way.
At this season OF the year. when
many members OF the family are
away, Is good time to send several
Of your mattresses to a reliable firm
and have them clean the ticking and
fluff up" the interior. 1t will prob
ably be necessary to have several
pounds Of hair, cotton felt or cotton
added to put them in proper condi-
ton. II this is done every two or
three years it will cost less, for not
as much will have to be added as when
you wait five or six years; besides
your mattresses will always be In
perfect shape.
or COURSE, there are any number
OF excellent Arms that offer 4
variety Of mattresses for your selec-
ton, but actually there are only two
types, those that are filled with hair,
cotton felt or cotton land these are
the ones that must be done over) !;
the other type has the coil spring,
covered with thick layers OF either
cotton felt or hair, usually the former.
These should carry a five-year guar
antee and should last from at least
10 to Is years before it becomes nee
esSary to buy . new mattress. The
hair mattress will last you lifetime
If you are certain that the horse hair
Is a fne quality OF half name and
half tail" 1t is poor economy to buy
a mattress OF hogs hair, IS it will last
only 4 short time before 1t becomes
knotty, and Is practically impossible
to do over.
OF recent years the coil springs
have become very popular, for they
can be purchased in any degree OF
softness, and the best quality ones are
not as expensive as the all-hair. II
by chance your hair mattress needs
to be remade, and you think that you
would prefer a spring mattress, have
one fashioned to suit your taste, using
the hair Of your old mattress to cover
the coils.

My Neighbor Says:

Examine your nlacs, coton-
casters, hawthorns and Japanese
ounces for oyster-shell scale,
which has a special fondness for
these shrubs and often entirely
covers the branches. Lilacs In
particular are often killed by
this scale. II only few branches
are found to be infected, cut them
of and burn them. If the scale
has progressed to greater extent,
1t will be necessary to spray with
whale oil soap or with some
similar preparation to be obtained
at the stores. You can identify
the scale by the shape Of the
pests. They look like tiny oyster
shells.

There are countless wrapping me-

genious person. Transparent films,
colored tissue papers, crepe papers,
silk gauze, chintz-even oilcloth-are
among them. At a kitchen shower
held recently all the gifts were
wrapped in apple-green oilcloth, tied
with wide white satin ribbons and
decorated with sprays of artificial
orange blossoms. White gauze was
used at another similar party, with
white ribbons and lilies of the valley.
Crepe or tissue paper for paper we'd
