Beauty Counsel
By DONNA GRACE

As we know, alopecia or fall
ing hair is the gradual thinning
of the hair In early life.
Sometimes illness is the cause
Of this, and again it may BE-
caused by improper care Of the
hair or scalp. I do not believe in
guaranteeing a cure for this trou'
BILE, but we all know that there are
many remedies and treatments for
this. There are beauty shops
which specialize in hair treatments
and many have excellent results.
It is possible for one to do a
great deal at home in reviving the
health Of the hair, but when the
hair begins to fall out, it is time
to consult a specialist.

"SOme time ago I had a date

A young man who breaks a date

the better for getting a jolt. But
it was unwiSe, not to say rude, OF
you to close the door in his face.

Correct Manners

Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:
when leaving the home Of

thing to say after having spent an

EIGH-THROATED SANDALS FOR SUMNER CHIC

YOU'LL WANT cool sheer
suits and frocks for the
early hot days, and with
them you want shoes that
are smart, but comfortable
and cool, too. Here are those
shoes, feminine but simple,
and in colors and feathers
for every costume. They
come in terra Gotta calf with
low heel, smart with navy,
black, gray or brown. They
come in carnelian calf with
high heel, again to be worn
a. contrast to many colors.
The same style in black
patent comes with either
high or low heel, and offers
great variety to your ward
robe. Black suede is high
fashion right now, and so
this shoe comes in it with
high heel. For later wear,
there is white calf, and
again with either high or
low heel. So you see, the
shoes are really suitable for
almost any spring or sum-
mer costume, in one leather
or another. They are avail

SMART as the kerchief which
~ must have inspired it is this
soft crepe handbag in navy and
white dots. 1t has a large curved
frame of white composition, and
two huge top rings, which serve
both as handle and to open the
catch. The bag is lined in navy
and fitted with mirror and a purse
on a chain. 1t is so soft and
Squashy that it suggests cool sum-
mer costumes, yet it is dignified
enough to carry right now. There
are a few bags in prints, too, but
the dots seem Smartest. The bags
are priced So, and as we found a
clever little handkerchief to
match exactly, we sketched it with
the bag. It is 12c. You can carry

Mend Your Own Runs
TIVE always said of hosiery mend
l. erS, ooh 1 couldn't do that my
SELF" but today I've really mended
a run with my own hands, and it
was successful. So I feel impelIed
to tell you about the automatic
run mender, which not only can
be seen in a downtown store, but
you can try it yourself, and make
sure you can use it before you buy
it. There are two members to q
set, a small one for hosiery and
a larger one for sweaters, wool
socks, and other coarse knitted
things. They work the same way,
and perhaps it will be easier to
learn on the larger. Anyway, if
you haven't much knack you can
practice on old stockings but /
managed to do pretty well with my
first run. The members are being
demonstrated all next week this
week too, so that you can actually
learn to use them before you buy.
It's just simple push-up-and-dOw
method that you've probably seen
done by professionals, and thought
difficult, though it isn't. Think
of the stockings you can salvage!
The set of two sells for so cents.

Wear Glasses Comfortably
THOSE of us who wear
l. glasses have all had trouble
one way or another, so it is good
news that at last someone is
doing something practical about
it something about the me-
chanics of keeping your glasses
on comfortably. The devices
are simple enough-just little
cushions for the nose guards of
your oxfords or nose glasses.
They are said to keep glasses
from dropping off, to prevent
the irritating red scars that ap-
pear from pressure on the sides
of the nose, to keep your glasses
from fitting and from slipping.
With "Nos-ease," as these
guards are called, the grip does
not have to be nearly as tight
as without. Then for people
who wear glasses behind their
ears" there is "Ear-ease," which
stops the torture of tight bows.
They give an air-cushion con-
tact that keeps them firm, yet
they needn't be tight. Either
type sells for just 25 cents per
pair, so they are we'll worth try
ing, as you can see.

udVS 10 UO Will OupAu Sbu4A1
You may not think it, but
there's a lot Of day-dreaming
wrapped up in statistics. For in
stance, that was quite bomb-Shell
at traditional romance that was
thrown by the Woman's Bureau
of the Department of Labor
several years ago, when a Govern
ment report informed us that mar.
riage no longer offered economic
security" to women.
Government reports are not apt
to appeal to young people who are
falling in and out Of love. The
"pulpS" furnish richer and more
appetizing romantic fodder, but
leave girls unprepared for the grim
fact that if they marry average
young men, they will have to con
tinue at work to keep the home
fires burning.
BATTLE ENDS
The long-drawn-out battle as to
whether the husband and wife
could both draw Government pay
envelopes has finally siInmered
down to reluctant eyes," the
argument being that If there are
children in the family one pay
envelope just won't do.
Jobs that lead to marriage
without too many detours-are
professional nursing, office work,
with stenographers carrying off
the palm, and mattresses following
suit right after them.
Contrary to popular belief, al
most as many school teachers as
nurses marry. The catch in the
statistical chart is that the teach
ers have embarked on their pro-
fessional career before marriage
This, among the general public,
creates the impression that
teaching is a spinster's job.
BOOM INCREASES
Another Government report
goes on to say that with the lift.
ing of such Objectionable terms
as "hired girl" servant" and
Giving OUT" the boom for girls
who go in for the domestic arts
has enormously increased.
For a girl to say she's engaged
in domestic SCIENCE" has a GER
tain dignity, which the old-fash-
Toned term Of Servant" or
maid" had not.
The influx of college girls into
department stores and shops is
too recent to carry convincing
statistics. Som e., department
stores in New York now decline
to employ any but college gradu-
ates.
The general impression seems
to be that these girls try it out,
but do not remain long enough
to become buyers" which seems
to be the ambition Of nearly
every girl becoming a sales
woman.
WOMEN GARDENERS
Increasingly women are in de-
mand as gardeners. There seems
to be a natural affinity between
women and making things grow
well. Several of the show places"
of the country now employ women
as head gardeners or assistant gar
denerS.
According to available statistics,
the have flair for marrying land
scape architects and men con-
nected with Government projects.
The most unusual profession to
enlist the ambition Of women is
that of veterinarian. Latest sta
tistics showed that there were only
II in the United States-and the
report did not state whether they
were married or spinsters.
Taking into consideration the
Government report that marriage
no longer offers economic secur-
ity for women" it is not surprising
that the average young man, be-
fore popping the question, assures
himself that his girl is able to hold
down a job.
