BON VOYAGE

BON VOYAGE
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
'My husband and 1 are plan
ming a trip to Bermuda, and as
we have never made a sea voyage
before, we are a little uncertain
as to tipping just how much
and to whom? AS we are in mod
crate circumstances, this will
mean SO much.
"WOuId it be proper to wear
Sunday night dress to dinner and
for evening wear? GA"
The amounts one gives for tips
depend on so many things-one'S
circumstances, ones inclination,
the kind and amount of service
one receiveS-that it is difficult
to suggest exact amounts. But, in
general, for a short cruise, one
would give two or three dollars
to the chief steward, two dollars
to the table steward, two dollars
to the cabin steward or steward
ess Cor one dollar to each, if you
have both). a dollar to the bath
steward, a dollar to the deck
steward, a half-dollar to the
lounge or library steward if they
give you service.
Yes, you may appropriately
wear a Sunday evening dress to
dinner and for evening wear.

These are of felt with appliqueS of

HUSBAND is CHEF
Dear Miss Fairfax:

"My wife and 1 both work, 1 as
a construction engineer and my
wife as a beauty parlOr operator,
But as 1 get home first, 1 prepare
our dinner, and she is fairly good
humOred after being fed, just az
any normal human being is.

The Washington times., 1937-03-10

She was quite a chatty person,
and she went on to say:
"The world is not so full of su.
permen-NapOleonS, ShakespeareS,
Bernard Shaws, EinsteinS and
Lindberghs-but that a clever wife
generally can take her raw-huSband
material and model 1t into some
thing worth WHILE"
I wondered what the lady'S hus-
band would have to say to this
line. He has an outstanding Gov
ernment position and imagines, 1
believe, that he had something to
do with his own career. But not
the lady wife, who continued:
MEN UNCERTAIN
"Half the time these men don't
know what they really want.
They're ambitious, industrious, but
they don't know enough to cOncen-
trate their energies on the thing
they want to achieve.
I'm my husbands case it was
politics, but he didn't even know
enough to sign up with the win
ming party. He was too full of
vague impulses to make the world
safe for something - he didn't
quite know what"
Then came the true confession,
much boiled down, which went
something like this. Young man,
clerking in a general store, with
post office on the side.
She. the daughter of local
farmer, teaching a rural school
and making daily trips to the post
office for mail, flour, cheese, sugar,
molaSses and bread, if the corn
pone gave out.
BOY BASHFUL
Young man (now enjoying fine
Government position) then VIC
tim of such chronic bashfulness
that he couldn't even tie up a
paper parcel if the customer hap
pened to be a girl,
But this bunch of raw material
seemed to the young school
teacher as if it had "makin's" of
something that might be pushed
and pounded into success. So she
cured him of his baShfulness by
making him talk to her, as he tied
up the tea and sugar.
She prodded his secret out of
him. He hungered and thirsted to
go into politics, but felt he could
never make the grade because he
couldn't make a speech.
The young clerk was afraid of
the sound of his own voice. The
young school teacher suggested
e elocution. He had to drive six
miles to get it. but that didn't
phase him.
READING HELPS
Next the young lady suggested
that he read to her. She made
him read Bernard Shaw, Shake
speare, Edna Millay, Dickens,
Thackeray-books he had never
heard of, authors whose names he
had never come across in the
grocery-poStoffice.
By that time he proposed to her,
or she to him. She isn't certain
how it came about. They married
and lived over the store. She was
not above taking a hand at the
counter or the postoffice, after her
father bought out the old pro-
prietor.
He made hundreds of speeches
to her, which she criticized, some
times from the floor below, some,
times with the door of the room
in which he was speaking, shut,
to see how his voice carried. And
finally she got him into the State
legislature.
The lady concluded her re.
marks by saying that unless a
woman picks out a moron or an
iron-bound egoist for her husband,
she can make or break him.

Daily Care of
The. Hair
BY DONNA GRACE

BY DONNA GRACE
It is so easy for us to make
noble resolutions when it comes
to regular care of the hair. We
tell ourselves how faithfully we are
going to go through with the daily
or nightly brushing, and we may
even go through the 100 strokes
with the best approved method, for
a night or two, but from what l
have observed, there is just one
good brushing. Then the next
night we have to go out, and we
are too tired, so we will skip a time
or two and take it up again.
The trouble with us is we cannot
afford to disturb our hairdreSs
more than about once or twice a
week. The shampoo and finger
wave will cost from ST to SO and
it takes lot of time, too, so we
expect to keep it in place for a
few days at least.
We know the first-class hair
StylistS arrange the wave so it can
be brushed without destroying the
pattern, but we cannot indulge in
vigorous brushing every day and
expect the wave to last.
AS a matter of fact, the hair
does not need vigorous brushing
every day, but it should have at
least one and better, two thorough
brushingS every week. The best
time to do this is the day or two
days before the regular shampoo.
The structure of the hair is the
same as the nails, and they both
need plenty of oil unless the nat
ural oil is supplied. Friction and
brushing will stimulate the oil
secretions, but it will not afford
sufficient fabrication to dry hair,
and we must have oil treatments
if we expect to avoid the harshness
that is so often found in dry hair.
When it is not convenient to
have regular oil treatments, one
may keep the hair in good condi-
ton with a little oil or vaseline
rubbed on the scalp and then
brushed through to the ends.
Do not use too much lubrica-
tion. 1t will do no harm to the
hair, but just a little on the scalp
will be sufficient when it is
brushed well to the ends, and it
will not interfere with the wave.
A real oil treatment will remove
all of the wave and must be fol-
lowed by a shampoo.
Helen L. H.-When superfluous
hair is so conspicuous as to need
bleaching, we believe it should be
removed. You may bleach it with
peroxide, however, if you wish.

For Better Coffee

66NEEASURE both coffee
V1 and water carefully,
all good cooks will tell you
but many of us fail to do So
and therefore are apt to serve
bad coffee to our guests and
family. One of the reasons we
are so careless is that we
never have the right spoon
handy, or we fail to level it
off. So news of an accurate
coffee dispenser is good news,
and it may be all important
to your reputation as a house
keeper. 1t is called "X-Zact, "
and measures one tablespoon
exactly or however many
tablespoons you want. Furth-
ermore, such excellent direc-
tions for making coffee come
with the dispenser that you
can't 60 wrong. But to get to
tit is a can that hangs on
the wall. and has a glass to
catch the coffee as it comes
out. A mere touch of the lever
dispenses the coffee. and if
your coffee is running low,
it will refuse to work, but
will still have enough inside
to use, so that you won't be
out completely without know
ing it. 1t keeps coffee grand
and fresh. The dispenser is
good looking, painted in col
ors to harmonic with your
kitchen scheme, and sells for
$1.45.

0EEING is believing. and when
- someone who is in the beauty
business recommends the product
of another person, there again is

and scalp tonic on the market that
has been used by several people
who are in the beauty business,
and who have recommended it to
me so highly that l pass the word
on to you. They have shown me
the good it has done for them.
and as said before, seeing is be.
lieving. This new tonic and sham.
poo has a camomile base. which is
blended with other beneficial in
gradients, and is said to be a short
cut to beauty for your hair. It
is an absolutely pure shampoo, and
is an invigorating tonic for the
scalp and skin even recon-
mended for use on the face in
cases of acne or pimples. Herbs
alone are used, and there is no
alkali, which is injurious to the
scalp and hair as you no doubt
know. 1t is said to prevent dry
scalp, to restore the natural color
to the hair, which often disappears
as the result of the cells being
clogged by alkali from strong
soaps and to check falling
hair. It is recommended for both
men and women, and you need no
rinse after it. It comes in two sizes,
8 OF. for soc and 16 OF. for 81. For
a short time a small bottle will
be given with the big bottle. You
can carry it to your hairdresser if
you do not shampoo your own hair.

ADMISSION
DAY

California celebrates the S7th anniver-
sary of its admission into the Union on
September 9.
This great state at the continents end
has travelled far since those pell-mell
days of 1850 when the discovery of gold,
bursting upon a dazzled world, started
a feverish stampede westward. Those
were the days sailors deserted ships by
the scores in San Francisco Bay to flock
to the gold fields, when signs on the
prairie schooners bravely cried, Cali
fornia or bustl''-and California was 81
days from Missouri by fast Overland
stagei
Gold made California;" says the old
slogan. But that vital artery of economic
life, transportation, has played an equal
ly great part Though one of the richest
states California is farthest removed
from the big population centers. Fast
transportation has been her life-blood.
for the speedier, cheaper movement of
goods by rails has carried California's
rich produce and manufactures to dis
tant eastern markets and brought back
wealth to thousands of farmers and
wage earners. Increasingly efficient,
low-cost rail service has been accom-
panied, moreover, by railroads payment
of increasingly greater taxes to Federal
and state government. Rail transporta-
tion has been indispensable to the pro-
gress we celebrate at this time.
In 1850 you could tell the story of
CALIFORNIA; land transportation in terms
of the stage-coach and creaking oX-carts
with buttonwood wheels. From San
Francisco to Coloma wagon-freight rates
were $500 a ton. Today the railroad
haul is S15O a ton-one-thousandth as
muchl
That's another reason this year finds
California entering upon a new, we'll
grounded prosperity, vaster in scope
than that dreamt of even in the gold rush
days when sturdy little prairie schoon-
ers, pulled by Missouri mules, came clat-
tering down the pike into the Golden
State.
