Hair Styles
Encourage
Brushing
Work on Your Hair to
Keep It Clean and
Well Groomed.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

FOR some years now, leading hair
dressers have maintained that
brushing should not destroy the line
of the wave; that it is splendid ex-
ercise for the scalp and hair; that it
stimulates the circulation through
the scalp, normalizes the action OF the
oil glands and their secretions, carry
ing the oil evenly along the hair
strands. Brushing is splendid
cleanser, too, next In thoroughness
only to the shampoo: 1t loosens dead
cuticle. dust, CRIME, dandruH scales
from scalp and hair and removes
them.
The more our hectic pace Of living
has played havoc with our hair, the
more exposure has made it dry and
brittle, the more artificial heat has
served to exhaust natural oils, the
more have We been urged by hair
dressers and scalp specialists to brush.
But all the while hairdressers were
assuring women that brushing would
not destroy the wave women were
skeptioal.
Now comes the new hair style that
makes brushing such a natural"
thing to do that We predict more and
more women will be doing It. The
smooth, shining crown with only q
shadow wave or no wave at all, ending
in the inverted curl, is one Of the
latest OF fashions fancies. 1t has
taken like wildflre and it is so beauti-
ful and so easy to keep that it should
linger much longer than the average
style. This Is the fashion that begs
to be brushed. First we brush up and
out as We have always been taught to
do, strand by strand. Then, still
brushing, we arrange the coiffure.
First we smooth down the underneath
layer Of hair, then the upper layer,
then brush the curl around and under
the flngertip. It's the reverse of the
usual order Of things and that much
easier, isn't it?
Brushing Is tremendously helpful
to the health Of scalp and hair. Even
In the case Of excessively oily hair.
contrary to common belief, brushing
Is helpful, as in time it tends to
normalize the flow Of oil For the
sake Of beauty brushing holds para
mount position as q halo glorifler.
Leading hair stylists Of this country
not only advise patrons to brush for
beauty, but actually show them how
to brush the hair between visits to
the salons for dressings. I have seen
hair-styling shows in which the brush
was used exclusively, without comb, to
arrange the coiffure.
Yes, once more fashion is helping
us to do the right thing by beauty

Spring bride. The models were rep
resentative Of all types OF women, tall,
short, slender, stout, the junior, the
matron and the frankly SO, so that
find something for their individual
needs. We could not begin to do this
show justice, but will mention few
of the most arresting outfits.
For the Easter parade was shown
a lovely chamois- -colored swagger suit
with deep Wine-colored waistcoat,
worn with hat to match the suit.
Many English-type suits were shown,
contrasting a plain color with
checked coat either in the short fitted
or longer boXy styles. Plain browns
with brown, yellow and green checks
predominated. The cape suit, con-
sisting of a black dress with three.
quarter gray cape and gray felt fedora,
was excellent on the tall matron.
The classic gray tailleur for tho
woman with gray hair was stunning,
with twin silver foxes and black straw
hat.
Lots of beige and chamois with black
were noted. The well-tailored black
REFER, worn with white scarf and
black turban with draped roll of white,
was the essence Of chic. The Spanish
bolero was shown in black and white
polka dots over black frock with a
bright red neck bow for accent and
matching red patent bag. OF course,
this outfit called for black Spanish
sailor hat.
THE colors were fascinating. A light
green woolen dress used a royal
blue belt and scarf. A dark blue crepe
dress had boxy coat and hat of lovely
powder blue. An amusing Scotch plaid
taffeta dress with pleated skirt was
essentially youthful. The gay '90s
were there, ostrich feathers and all
believe 1t or not.
The evening clothes were ravishingly
lovely. The all-white peasant ankle
length frock Of organza was picture
esque with its tiny puff sleeves and its
very full gathered skirt finished at the
hem with four bands of grosgrain rib
bon in bright green, powder blue, light
red and dark red. A charming black
taffeta made its entrance to the strains
of BocheriniS delightful minuet.
Wide shoulder revers of tiny tucks and
| lace crossed at the front and met at
! the waistline in the back over a
! princess dress with slightly bias hem
founce. Gray lace, gray organza with
lace, biege lace and biege over black
were all interesting. Enchanted April
was depicted in a floor-length apple
green chiffon cape over paler green
dancing frock

cession another time.

Daytime dresses are of particular
interest as season starters, and among
these are quantities Of attractive
printed and plain crepes and thin
woolens. The dashing Spanish bolero,
the f1attering slim redingote and the
shorter jacket frock are outstanding
types that every one will welcome for
their practical value either with or
without a topcoat. The dress with
removable jacket is the perfect cos
tune for sudden warm days in early
Spring.
Shown above are some variations
on this theme. The thin cloth cape
lined with the printed dress fabric is
an easy-to-wear fattering type. In
this instance there is some nice gath

not apparent from the photograph.

o AMERICAN women, for all
their boast Of freedom, still
crave caveman husbands? A
speaker at the American So

~f~~e~~>SA
Geological Association convention de-
clares that they do As he puts it:
"Super-ordination Of the husband and
subordination Of the wife appear still
to be the accepted status OF most mar
riages and what the majority Of wives
still want and expect"
OF course, all the married women
In the length and breadth of the land
Will rise up and with one voice DENY
this allegation They will saw:
Haven't We got the very word obey
expunged from the marriage cere-
mony? Don't lot OF us even keep
our own names after we get married
and go on calling ourselves Miss Jones
or Miss Brown, even after we have
houseful OF children? And we would
like to see any mere husband telling
us where we get on and where We
get off! The nerve of them!"
All of which is, Of course, more or
less true. No one can deny that
in this land Of free and emancipated
ladies' that the head of the household
oftener wears skirts than breeches
It Is the wife who decides where the
family shall live and what they shall
spend; how the children shall be
reared; whether they shall attempt to
climb the social ladder or sit con-
tentedly at its foot; who even buys
her husbands clothes and dictates
his politics and religion.
All Of us know plenty Of men who
abroad speak with the voice of au-
thority to which millions listen, but
who sing small in their own homes
with no one to lend them an ear.
We have seen heroes with their chests
covered with medals for bravery in
battle, but who tremble before little
twoby-four wives. And we could
point you to any number Of men who
are autocrats in their business or pro-
fessiors, but who wipe their feet on
the mat before they enter their own
doors and say yes, ms'am" to the
women to whom they are married.

HUMAN nature being what 1t is
and all Of us, both male and fe-

In us, it follows inevitably that a wife
will dominate her husband if she can.
But, curiously enough, while she can't
resist the temptation to boss him, it
doesn't make her happy to do it. In
her secret heart she wishes that he
had backbone enough to stand up for
his rights.
For, in reality, women are still

resistant to heat, and fine for success
sive paintings about three weeks apart.
They can be put In with that second
sowing of radishes, for radishes help
break the earth crust for the slower
growing yellow root. The older carrot
varieties are constantly being i'm
proved SO that no new ones have been
developed. Chantenay, Nantes, Dam
vers Half Long are standard sorts.
Carrots are rich sources of vitamins
A, B and c.
LETTUCE should be found in every
home garden, though 1t is Q cool
weather crop and hence not for Sum-
mer planting in most Of the country.
1t takes about six weeks to grow the
plants; so many people like to start
them inside, transplanting after four
or five leaves have formed.
Leaf lettuce has far more food
value than does head lettuce, q con-
soling thought since it is also easier
to grow. Early Curled Simpson and
Grand Rapids are two varieties good
all over the country. Cos lettuce is
seml-head variety, which stands more
heat than does head lettuce and has
somewhat more pungent flavor. Let
tuce is an excellent source OF vitamin
A, and good also for vitamins c and G.
"BEETS are very adaptable and not
especially sensitive to heat or cold. so
they rank high in the home garden.
Old varieties have been constantly
improved, Early Wonder and Crosby
Egyptian being two favorites. The
root is important for vitamin q, its
green's for A, B and G..
TOMATOES are usually boueht bv
nome gardeners as seedlings from
local greenhouses. They, too, can be
trained up the side Of the garage. Or
they can be set In where the lettuce
and radishes once grew. About rs
early plants and maybe so later ones
will amply repay any effort expended
upon them. The Pritchard Is a good
early variety, the Marglobe a fine later
one. The dietetic value of the tomato
can hardly be overestimated, for it is
one of natures richest storehouses of
vitamins A, B, c and G. When it
comes to vitamin c, it is the only veg
etable alternative for the citrus fruits.
Potatoes and sweet corn, both val
liable garden products, take up so
much space that they are adapted only
to large gardens. Some city folk like
to plant few parsnips, satisfy, Gu
cumbers, okra and lima beans. The
limas and cucumbers can be trained to
grow upon the fence or climb the side
OF the garage.
But whatever combination there is
in the home garden, 1t provides exer-.
else for leisure hours and an unfail-
Ing subject for conversation. It's bet
ter than an alarm clock for routing
out the owner to find what has taken
place over night; whether or not the
radishes seem big enough to pull, how
the pea pods are filling out, and how
many tomatoes are setting on"
