10 OFTEN at this time there is a
general let down in ones ap-
pearance. Summer clothes have
lost their best lines through fire.
quent laundering, white hats are no
longer snowy white Summer shoes
are rather ad-looking," faces are
tired, and permanent waves are not
what they used to be It's time to
snap back and get ready for Labor
day and the next season.
Those Straggly ends of hair on the
neck. that too buShy look under the
hat, should receive immediate atten-
ton, for it takes a well-groomed head
to look smart in the new Fall hats.
The arrangement of your hair can
make or ruin your whole appearance
1t is really such an easy matter
nova days to have a few extra curls
put in where needed, and it takes
such short time, besides being so
very inexpensive that there is no ex-
cuse whatever for bad looking neck
lines. Using that as a starting point,
you will probably also need a little
couple of inches off OF the ends will
improve matters wonderfully, for hair
does grow SO rapidly at the back Of
the neck, and If it is too long it is
more difficult to achieve pleasing
contour.
THIS brings us to the always-inter-
esung subject of hair arrange
ment. and to the ideas now being en-
ployed by Dimitri, newcomer to
Washington, with a background OF
much experience in Paris. He has

believes in adding inches to the short

He couldn't sit on Runty. now,

The girl who says that she does not
want to go to the party has reason
and she is hiding it. She may not
want to go because her dress is not
right, because the boy she prefers is
taking somebody else or perhaps she
dlslikes the girl who is giving the
party. Any one of these reasons is
hard for her to tell because they
either reflect some failure of her own
or make some reflection on somebody
else, and her training has made her
repress such expressions. A grown

TINE main thing that is the
matter with the feminine sex
and that is responsible for
most women's nerves, i'll
health peevishness, fretting and nag
ging is that they are never satisfied
with the station in life which it has
pleased God to call them, as the
Prayer Book says.
Life is just one struggle after
another to them-to have dates; to
be admired; to get married; to hold
their husbands; to be beautiful; to
retain boyish figure, to dress like a
hint from Paris: to keep up with the
Jones; to be the president of their
clubs; to keep young, and so on ad
infinitum. The first real rest that the
average women ever gets is in her
coffin. Why we should say of our
deceased friend how natural she
looks" none Of us know, since it is the
f1rst time we ever saw her with a
calm and peaceful expressin on her
face.
Now, of course, all of this discomfort
and striving has doubtless made for
progress, and women wouldn't have
been sitting pretty on the top OF the
world as they are now if they had just
been willing to take things easy and
stay put where they happened to land
II Grandmother Eve hadn't got tired
Of steady diet of citrus food and done
some apple eating, we would still be
lounging around in the Garden Of
Eden drinking orange Juice instead of
cocktails in night clubs. Which would
have saved us lot of work and worry,
but which would have assuredly cut
us out of lot of good times.
DE THAT as it may, no one can deny
that 1t Is womens constitutional
inability to accept things as they are
that is at the root of most of their
unhappiness. Take marriage as an
example of this No sane woman be-
lieves that q marriage license is q
guarantee OF perpetual bliss. She has
seen too many miserable wives, too
many quarreling households. too many
divorces not to know that husband is
just As often a liability As he Is an
asset. But she seldom gives up the
husband chase until incapacitated by
age.
Yet how delightful life can be for
woman who, realizing that she has
no allure for men, says to herself:
well, what Of it?" And goes about

nified appearance, combined with a
softening effect about the face that
is very fattering
The physical features to which he
pays most attention are the forehead
and chin, working in each case to
bring out the best points and over
balancing any weak spots. The style
shown in the photograph above is one
OF his favorites, which he calls So
phisticate" 1t is an easily arranged
and natural looking couture that is
quite generally becoming to all types.
The large shadow waves over the fore
head are softer than smoothly brushed
back hair and the soft puffs will be
just right under one of the new Fall
turbanS.
F. YOUR permanent wave is in good
condition, or if you are renewing
it. one Of the most popular hair styles
OF the year is a center part, with the
hair waved softly back and the ends
turned up. not in separate curls or
ringlets, but brushed up and left to
go its own way. The upper part OF
the hair is held in place by bobby pins
just above the brushed-up ends.
For formal evenings the same hair
may be combed high on the forehead
with soft ringlets brushed back over
the ears at the sides, and again set in
natural-looking curls at the nape OF
the neck. A good permanent can al
ways be made to do double duty when
you need it.
II you like to fuss with your own
hair and try out new effects, YOU
would proba bly, enjoy vave-setting
lotion that dries in one-third of the
usual time. 1t is quite time saver,
and in addition to that 1t has an anti
septic effect and is said to improve
the appearance OF the hair. 1t is en-
tirely free from faky deposits and
may be used as effectively on dyed
and bleached hair, both OF which have
tendency to become very dry and
brittle.
This lotion helps train newly ac-
quired permanents and NAV be used
to overcome extremely dry and kinky
conditions, bringing more gloss and
sheen.
WE MIGHT remind you that if
you are looking forward to hay
ing permanent wave before going
away to college this Fall it is a grand
time to do little reconditioning of
your own. Be faithful with the old
hairbrush and use 1t religiously every
night and give yourself some hot-oil
treatments. Here's a lesson in hair
brushing from an expert on the SUBJ
ject.
Grasp the brush firmly near the
back, then bending from, the hips
extend the head forward; this allows
the blood to circulate more freely
through the scalp. Brush from back
hair line forward over top of head,
then take small strands from top OF
head and brush out from the scalp,
This loosens the scalp and stimulates
circulation. Let the brush sweep
across the scalp, as we'll as the whole
length of the hair, so that every
strand goes through the brush and is
left clean, soft and silky. Wipe brush
on towel after each strand is
brushed. This acts as dry shampoo
As well rs scalp treatment.
Also wash your hairbrush fire.
quently, using any good soap and
warm water. Swish the brush up and
down-never let it soak in suds. Rinse
In plenty Of cold water and allow it
to dry in the sun or fresh air, resting
on It's side, and not with the bristles
down,

The Old Gardener Saws:

Garden makers should be par
ticularly careful to keep the bird
bath filled at this season. A few
hours of Augustus hot sun and
available supplies are evaporated
and the gardeners feathered
friends suffer. On hot DAYS the
baths should be filled more than
once, for birds are just as ap-
preciative OF cool water as are
human beings. The gardener
should remember that birds do
not like deep water or slippery
surfaces. A bath should not be
deeper than five inches in the
center and not more than
quarter Of an inch at the edge.
A stone In the center on which
the birds can perch between
plunges is appreciated. The gar
den maker who is thoughtful of
the birds will find that his efforts
are more than repaid by the
quantity Of insect pests they will
devour.

OF thousands OF others that I get
from men and women who see and
appreciate what is fine and good in
the ones they love, but who have the
glory OF their romance dimmed by
the Prince Charming gargling his
soup, Or the Lady of his Dreams say
ing pleased to meet cha when in
troduced to a stranger.
OF course, there are more important
things in marriage than for a hus-
band to know his way among the
silver and how to enter a room. or for
wife to know how to dress and be
a gracious hostess and a good con-
versationalist. but nevertheless we need
the graces Of life AS we'll as the virtues
In marriage, And it puts a hard
strain on affection if woman has
to keep her eyes on her own plate in
order not to see how her husband
gobbles his food, and if a husband
has to keep reminding himself how
good and kind his wife is even if she
does murder the kings English.
Nothing Stays love quicker than for
either husband or wife to be ashemed
Of his or her mate and always having
to explain his or her blunders and
apologizing for them
1t is one Of the strangest and most
unfortunate peculiarities of marriage
that very few husbands and wives will
take any criticism from each other.
For thereby they deprive themselves
Of the help that would enable them
to correct their faults and shape
themselves nearer to the hearts desire
Of the men and women to whom they
are married
