Manners
of the
Moment

COME people have a way of holding
anything that may spill over
your lap instead of DER their own.
Have you ever noticed? You offer
them a drink Of coffee from your
thermos bottle as you drive along In
trembling car, and they shove their
cups out over your spotless white
dress. Or you offer them sandwich
In a train, and they shake the crumbs
on you before they start to eat it.
Maybe these people really are mean.
But we think they're just wee bit
dumb. They don't realize that crumbs
on you aren't any pleasanter than
crumbs on them. They simply haven't
thought that far.
OF course, you could beat them to
it, by getting the thermos bottle or the
sandwich we'll poised over their laps
before you let on what you were up to.
But We think perhaps it would be
brighter Of you to take a neutral stand
Choose, a spot on the car rug or the
train floor which you don't mind
messing up bit. and hold out for It,
Either that, or give up eating in
dimcult places. We'd hate to be
responsible for anybody's white dress
In a transcontinental bus, for instance.

Essential
Once a Week Is a Fair
Average During the
Summertime.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

| Young girls in their late teens are
not only extraordinarily beauty
| conscious but are also beauty-critical.
| They are very often referred to as
"cats" or kittens" by the sterner sex
and that is not meant as an affection
ate term. Their constant comment
what an awful nose, what stringy
hair, what frightful skin" wins them
the feline soubriquet.
Often, however, their criticism Is
justified. The other day I heard a
young one say Of another equally as
young, She lives in the bungalow
across the fence from ours, and I
often see her in her back yard
curriers' on her hair - such fussing.
Mother says il she paid hall as much
attention to keeping her hair looking
clean and fresh as she does to keeping
it looking stylishly coiffed, her hair
would be lovelier She's natural
blond, but half the time her hair
looks dirty-blond, it's 50 oily and
grimy."
The very first essential to hair
beauty is cleanliness Brushing, tonic
and scalp treatments all help hair
health, but shampooing remains the
most thorough method Of cleansing
hair and scalp. Remember that the
scalp is constantly throwing of secre-
tions of oil and perspiration. Remem-
Der that dust and CRIME cling to an oily
surface. And during the Summer the
oil and perspiration glands are more
than normally active. Oil and dust
have a way of making the hair look
very dull, dank, unkempt. In the case
Of blond hair, the oil invariably dark
ems what should be truly q golden,
crovning glory.
Thick, oily. hair naturally needs
more frequent shampooing than thin,
dry hair, and those living IN dusty
atmospheres, particularly at the
beach, need more frequent shampooing
than those in clean country towns.
Don't let your looks become drab look
ing through lack Of shampoo. Once
week is fair average during the
Summer.
Of the hand. using soap in jelly or
liquid form. Do not rub the bar of
soap right on the hair or it will leave
curd or soap film too difficult to
remove. Soap every strand Of hair
generously. Rinse thoroughly. Re-
peat. Two or three soapings are not
too many during the Summer. And at
least as many rinsings. When the
hair squeaks between the fingers.
that's good sign that soap has been
completely rinsed away. For blond
hair you can make your own shampoo
by shaving a pure lemon soap and
allowing it to simmer in hot water.
And the lemon rinse adds golden
glints and helps to cut the soap. For
the brunette, green soap Is good and
the vinegar or camomile rinse brings
out the reddish lights.

Dorothy Dix Says
Middle Age Is Dangerous But Can Be the
Best if Prepared for.

1t nnds so many Of us unprepared for
it. We have known In the back Of our
heads that middle age was bound to
come to us, as to others, and that the
order Of our lives was bound to be
changed by time, yet We haven't done
thing toward making the transition
from one stage of life to another easy
and pleasant We haven't laid up
single resource on which We can de-
pend in our hour Of need.
X
P TO the time they are middle
aged the average married couple
have been too busy trying to make q
fortune and rear family to think
about anything but the store and the
house. They have got their interest
and excitement and thrills and amuse-
ment out Of their work; the cute things
the baby said; sending John of to
college and giving Mary a debut party,
and they have needed nothing else.
Then suddenly it is all over. The
children are married and gone about
the business of life for themselves.
The house that had been so gay with
the coming and going of young people
is empty and silent. The husband and
wife are alone together as they were
when they started out Only there is
this difference-that then they were
lovers and now, in the great majority
OF cases, they are strangers.
The man has been too much alb
sorbed in his business to keep in touch
with his wife. The woman has been
too absorbed in her children to keep
step with her husband. He has lived
in one world and she in another 50
long that they do not even speak the
same language and they bore each
other to tears.
That Is why 50 many men at middle
age become philanderers and why so
many women at middle age are
peevish, fretful, morbid and make a
cult of semi-invalidism. They are
lonesome in their big houses when the
children have left. They have no
companionship with each other and
the wife, at least, has nothing to do
but to think Of herself and worry
over imaginary ills. So often is this
the case that you can date the av-
erage woman's ill health from her
last child's marriage.
The moral Of all Of which is: In
youth prepare for middle age. Guilt
vate some hobby. And keep friends
with your husband and wives. They
are the ones on whom you have to
depend for companionship when your
children are gone.

My Neighbor Says:

Deep planting is common
mistake when setting out peonies
and is often responsible for their
failure to bloom. They should be
planted in well-drained soil in
September.
Never try to hurry or force
raising of dough when making
bread, or, on the other hand, do
not allow it to stand too long
between kneadings, and do not
add more -four during kneading
than absolutely necessary. Keep
dough soft.
A bare ironing board makes
good table on which to clean
mems clothing, though the ordi-
nary kitchen table will answer.
All spots and stains should first
be brushed off. II they are
greasy they should be rubbed with
gasoline, using a pad underneath.
This pad should always be placed
under the stains so that it will
take up the dirt forced through
by the vigorous rubbing.

cosmetics and there are so
- many delightful ones that it is
hard to make a choice among them.

general appearance. 1t is a nice COM
pact bag of rubber lined MORE silk,

handles, and looks for all the world
like handbag. The one we saw was
dark brown lined with coral, but there
is choice of colors. The bag contains
a complete treatment for cleansing
and nourlshing the face from the
cosmetic house which uses no creams,
but substitutes lotions instead. There
Is also a complexion brush to insure
a thorough job of cleansing, and
bottle of sun oil to protect the skin.

- PEAKING by and large, and Of
humanity in general, middle age

- PEAKING by and large, and Of
humanity in general, middle age
in not only the most dangerous
~ but the most unhappy period
Of life. 1t is the age of indiscretion
for men and Of phobias and neurosis
for women; the time when people
who have always been as upright and
conventional as church steeple, sud-
denly go haywire for no apparent rea-
son except that they are fiftyish.
We all know more than one man
who after being a devoted husband
and father for 80 years, as domestic
as the house cat and as reliable as old
Dobbin, without rhyme or reason kicks
over the traces and runs wild among
the wild women until he lands in the
divorce court.
Likewise, we know plenty of sane
and sensible wives whose middle name
was Prudence until they got to be fair,
fat and 40, when suddenly developed
a siren complex and went flirtatious
and began dyeing their hair and
painting themselves up like barn
door and dolling themselves up in
flapper clothes and making eyes at
boys young enough to be their sons.
X
\ ND as for the women who are hale
and hearty and cheerful until
they are middle-aged and then develop
mysterious complaints that turn them
into melancholy wrecks, their name is
legion. They crowd doctors offices
and fill sanatoriums and enrich high
priced specialists.
OF course, many explanations can be
offered for this curious matamorphosis
in their personalities that takes place
at middle age in so many people. One
is that it is the last flare-up of youth,
the final call to the dining car. A
man and woman have been jogging
along through the years, not noticing
that they were getting older and still
thinking that they are mere boy and
girl, then something happens that
jars them into the realization that
they are middle-aged.
1t throws them into q panic. It
makes them feel that they must grab
youth with both hands and hold on to
it; that they must have last fling;
that they must have another bite of
romance while they still have teeth
to chew it, and so We have the middle
aged men who forsake their wives for
happers and the middle-aged women
who create scandals with their goings-
on with gigolos.

age u that 1t tenpts Us to make fools
