So Peter Stuart Ney, who was either
a great soldier in exile or a half-mad
country schoolteacher suffering from
delusions. lived out the long years. He
wrote copiously, in strange shorthand
which is now being deciphered and
which may yet prove that his boasts
were true. incidentally, Mr. Blythe SUBJ
mitted samples of Peter Ney's hand
writing and of Marshal Ney's hand
writing to handwriting expert in the
u. S. Treasury Department, and got
from him the verdict that they had been
written by the same man.
He died, at last, in 1846, and was
buried in country churchyard. And
MIR. Blythe has shown that the romantic
legend about him has the backing OF
enough evidence to make it worthy of
further investigation.

With Gifts

Don't forget your dog at
Christmas. He will appreciate
q show Of Christmas spirit as
much as as anyone else in the
family. We suggest these
doggy" gifts to please him:
Something special for him to
eat, something which doesn't
come his way every day. Some
thing for his special comfort, a
new bed for instance. And see
to it that there are toys and a
little something to pander his
vanity, such as a pair Of clippers
or a brand new brush.
Be sure he has a new outfit
to show off around the neighbor-
hood to his friends, a spanking
new leash in rich red Morocco
leather, a harness or a collar,
handsomely studded with nails.
Just for fun, you might add rub
bers and a raincoat so that he
will be ready for any old sort Of
weather that comes along. And
be sure his presents arc tied up
in the fanicest Christmas paper
so that he can chew them open
at his leisure all during the day.

Our professional talk today
will be on haircutttng, which, as
you know, is one of the most
exacting and artistic branches
Of the profession.
All men hairdreSSerS should
know how to shape and cut the
hair for individual styling, and
we believe the girl student would
be well repaid for thorough
course in the work, too. It is
not easy and takes endless prac-
tice Until you reach the stage
of perfection where your sciS-
sors or the razor operate with
the ease and efficiency Of q
sculptor's fingers.
The first thing to learn is to
know the contour most suitable
and flattering to the face, then
the outline must be in SYM
metrical proportions so the hair
will conform to any pattern in
hair-styling.
Every good operator knows
how to protect the customer
with the haircloth and neck
band. The neck is always busted
with talcum powder as it may
be brushed off easily and re-
moves all the short length that
might adhere to the neck. Hold
the shears with the thRd finger
of the right hand with the thumb
in the ferrule Of the blade that
is moved in the work. In this
way you let the thumb do all
the moving Of the blade, while
the other blade is held in place
to parallel the comb.
The hair must be combed out
thoroughly so as to be familiar
with the thickness, or lack Of
hair at any point.
You will then separate the top
from the rest and begin to cut
at the lower layer or neck line.
Then. shear upward in layers
that overlap without any divid-
ing line, as q smooth surface.

Burgundy NeW
AS Basic Color
In DECORATING

Burgundy is one of the prime
colors in the decorators palette.
It combines smoothly with other
colorS and both men and women
like it. 1t is a dramatic color,
used either as the basic room
theme or to point up a pastel
scheme, but not one of which
you tire readily. This is be-
cause it is intrinsically sound.
It is equally successful in pc
riod or modern rooms, in town
or in the country. 1t will not,
from all present indications,
date quickly. 1t has been popu-
lar for a long time and shows
no signs Of losing ground. It
is a practical color to use be-
cause so many good fabrics and
rugs and wallpapers incorpo-
rate it. Nor does it show wear
and tear. 1t combines well with
blues, from horizon to turquoise
through into the deeper shades.
It combines with the clear New
England yellows, with subtle,
dusty pinks, with green, and
especially chartreuse, with al.
most any shade of gray you can
think Of, and it is breath-tak-
ing with white.-From House

There is less chance for

I expect shortly to marry

when I could claim my little
daughter, but now I am madly
in love and wish to please the
boy who is to be my husband.
What shall I do? Ny mother,
who is only 43, is crazy over
baby and takes fine care Of her.
Shall I insist on separating
them? WORRIED.
In a case like this, the first
thing to be considered is the
welfare of the little girl. She
needs home where she is loved
and wanted, and evidently your
mother supplies this, so I would
by all means leave the child
where she is.

You don't tell me what kind
of wedding it is to be, and what
you wear depends on whether
the wedding is to be formal
or informal. A house wedding
can be Just as formal as q

whether it is to be formal or
informal by the kind Of invita-

formal, engraved invitation,
then you know that the we'd
ding is to be formal. and you
wear formal evening dress. with

is, say, in the form Of a note or

then you wear informal clothes.
