Waves Not
Injurious
Choose An Operator
With a Reputation
for Success.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE majority Of women today de-
pend upon permanents, rather
than Mother Nature, to put waves in
their hair. And where once tho most
courageous Of the fair sex attempted
one or two waves a year, today most
women get four and fve-depending
upon how quickly the hair grows out
! from the roots. One reason why we
are getting more permanents anl with
less fear or qualms Is the precise,
professional manner in which perma-
nents are given. One needs specialized
knowledge and experience to give
| permanent wave, and because Of the
keen competition in the beauty field
only the fittest survive Women know
that. And in sitting for permanent
/ they choose an operator with a repu-
tation for success
Another reason for the increase in
the number of women getting perma-
nents and the number of permanents
that each patron has per year is the
fact that permanents are more and
more successful. BY successful l
mean two things: One, the sureness
with which permanent takes; two,
the ease with which it keeps"
Until year or two ago there were
many so-called problem heads"
Baby-fine hair; dyed or beached hair;
blond or gray hair; abused hair
Now there are comparatively few
heads that cannot be permanent
waved Special solutions have been
developed; test curls are gwen in the
better salons that predict pretty well
in advance, whether the permanent
will take" and how well. If one
strand or test curl doesn't take the
wave, another strand is treated to a
different solution and different steam
ing time. Finally the operator hits
on the success formula and it's no
hit-miss proposition. either
Special oils have recently been de-
veloped which, added to the regular
permanent wave solution, make the
wave stronger. If you've never had a
really successful permanent before
that doesn't mean that your hair
won't take a good wave. If your wave
has always been weak, your hair COM
ing out rather limp without spring
TO it, the new type Of oils added to the
solution should make for a tighter
wave. This doesn't mean a kink by
any means. What's more, these oils
actually have conditioning effect on
the hair, making it more vital, more
lustrous
There are a few things you must
do, however, to cooperate with your
operator and make your wave that
much more certain of success First,
condition your hair all you can.
Second, tell the truth-if you have
had henna treatments, dye or tint
treatments, if you have had an opera
ton short time before your wave
if you have been Ill, particularly with
fever Anything that might affect
the health Of your hair might affect
the success of your wave, so help
! your operator intelligently.
My bulletin The Permanent-Long
May 1t Wave" will give you specific
hints on care of the hair before the
permanent and care Of the wave after

seems to be the elimination OF the
perfumer's art in so far as floral
fragrances are concerned, and re-
quires much skill and patience.
AS we have all read in the books
about the bees and the flowers, Mo-
ther Nature has hidden her rarest
perfumes in white flowers as the more
gayly colored blossoms attract at
tention by their hue, and nature sees
to it that her favors are equally dis
tributed. So we find the deepest and
most lasting flower fragrances in
nations, white gardenias and camel
lias. white roses and the ochi chorni,
a tropical white tobacco plant grown
in South America
Of course, almost every one loves
gardenia perfume and practically all
the best perfumers now have their
interpretations of this delightful odor
This week in one local shop you will
find an entire aisle devoted to various
presentations of this fragrance, a
really beautiful display. But what
we want to tell you about is the new
essence Of Russian white violets which
has just made its appearance in time
for Easter, and we do want you to
know about it. 1t is the favorite of
its creator, whom We have just men,

representing endless labor IN gather
ing these elusive blossoms and cap

be done at night when their odor is
most potent. Attractively bottled
and incased in dusty pink suede
box, here is one Easter gift already
planned for you.
IF YOU like the idea of white gifts
for Easter, you will appreciate the
charming white carved plaster f1acon
of cologne which is shown in the
sketch. This very unusuf design " IS
created by the sculptor Guerycolas, in
Paris last Summer. The idea of carved
plaster over glass is most unusual and
the fact that it is washable and not
easily broker add greatly to its value.
Although this is not floral fragrance.
it is very sophisticated odor and

preference in wives was a dark and
unfathomable mystery, and the best
the poor creatures could do was just
to go on guessing at it and praying for
luck in hitting some mans fancy.
Now, however, light has been thrown
upon the subject. A group of scien-
tiic investigators who have been
questioning men as to the type Of
wife they desire report that 81 men
out of a hundred want to marry an
fashioned girl who likes to stay
at home. cook and take care of
babies. Twenty-SeVen per cent of
the men interrogated wanted woman
of social distinction for a wife.
twenty-five per cent sought one of
spiritual character. Women with
artistic leanings had few or no takers.
Career women were simply not in the
running at all.
That the quiet, domestic girl who
is mothers little helper should lead
all the remainder of her sex in mas
culine favor and be the peak Of
masculine preference in wives is
startling and amazing news. No one
will be more startled and amazed by
it than the aforesaid quiet and do

My Neighbor Says:

An atomlzer or small spray
| should be used when watering
seeds planted in the house. The
| spray keeps the soil moist enough
and does not bury the seeds as
water sprlnkled from watering
can is likely to.
Keep all cleaning rags that
have been treated with oil in a
covered container before putting
away in closets. If this is done
fires may be avoided.
To preserve leftover pickles or
pimentos, put in glass tumbler
and cover with salad oil.
If stove polish is moistened
with vinegar instead of water, the
stove will have a brighter polish.
When applying a liniment, in
stead of filling ones hand with
liniment and slapping it on the
patients skin. the proper method
is to remove the cork and, care
fully pouring away from the label
side of the bottle Ito save it from
being stained, pour a small
quantity of the liniment directly
upon the affected area. Then,
with firm but gentle pressure and
a smooth, circular movement, the
liniment should be rubbed into
the skin until it is absorbed.
There is danger of garden
products crossing. This is par
ticularly true in the case of
squashes, cucumbers and melons.
If one wants to keep his variety
true, he must choose seeds from
plants that have not been grown
near other varieties. This applies
likewise to corn.

Business
Peoples S
Luggage
Suitcases That Keep
Clothes Wrinkle
Free Necessary.
BY HELEN O'HARA

| BY HELEN O'HARA.
TINE travelling salesman who is
| on the road most of the time
and the buyer who goes to New
Il York periodically have been
well taken care of by the luggage
manufacturers. The one lives out of
suit case and the other takes only
| enough luggage for A few days, yet
each has one thing in common, the
necessity of always looking we'll
! groomed.
The appearance of the average
sales-repreSentative means great
deal in the winning of his daily bread,
so he must have practical bag for
carrying his clothes-one that will
keep his suits Wrinkle-free and is
light in weight. One of the newer
types of bag for man whether he
travels by train or automobile is the
folding Gladstone, sometimes called
by other names. The chief advantage
in this Gladstone is the fact that it
can be hung up either in trains or
automobiles while en- route and the
clothes will remain in press just as
though they were hung in a closet
Furthermore it saves the bother of
unpacking or even opening the bag
when you arrive at your destina ton
There is a generous pocket in the side
for shirts, etc. Shoes can be carried
in the bottom of the bag. When
you're ready to start on trip, you
don't have to worry with locks and
gadgets, you simply zip it up and
presto it's closed This folding Glad
stone comes in canvas, cowhide and
pigskin, ranging in order from mex
pensive to expensive.
AS companion piece, salesman
should not be without the combination
brief-case and overnight bag This
bag, as its title implies has an index
compartment for papers on one side
and space on the other side for toilet
articles, pajamas and the like.
With these two bags, a travelling
representative can look like a picture
from Esquire and feel just as de-
bonair
THE buyer (feminine) who goes to
New York frequently on buying
trips must look her smartest and the
correct luggage plays big part in
her appearance. For two or three
day trip, a four-dress hanger case
which has plenty of space in the
bottom for shoes, lingerie and hats
is an ideal piece of luggage. This is
light in weight and she can carry
it herself. There are gayly striped
effects, solid-color linen and rich
leather-covered cases to suit the in
dividual taste and pocketbook No
Well-dressed woman can offord to be
without fitted case which carries
her beauty aids. One of the newest
styles is one which has jars and bottles
and which has a separate compart-
ment for her papers and money. This
Is combination fitted brief-case
which also acts as a handbag. It is
lined with waterproofed fabric and
comes in fine boroso (baby shark
leather.
These two bags, the hanger case
and the aforementioned fitted COM
bination will carry all the buyers
effects in a minimum of space and
will give her clothes that well-cared-
for look which is bound to make her
feel assured and confident. With this
handy twosome, she can look like
q picture from Vogue and feel Just as
smart.

Fancy Eating

Lobster Thermidor is difficult
sounding affair but don't let the
name fool you, it's easy!!! For the
housewife who has no desire to
plunge a live lobster in boiling
water. fish markets (many of
them) have on sale, Holsters al
ready cooked. Just bring home the
lobster, clean out the body cavity
and repack with the lobster cut up
in pieces one half to three-fourths
inch. Meat loses its character if
minced. Fill in with a medium
thick white sauce, favored with a
very little onion juice and mustard.
Sprinkle grated cheese mixed with
breadcrumbs on top and bake in
hot oven 44O-450 F. to heat and
brown-about six minutes. Serve
one-half lobster to a portion!

The Snack" And Its
Place In The Daily Diet

Regardless of the definition of a
snack most everyone enjoys a mid
morning, mid-aftemoon, or late
evening snack.
While some of us may believe
that eating between meals, or be-
fore retiring, is a bad habit and
apt to ruin the appetite and the
figure, the truth of the matter is
that most people, who partake of
between meal snacks eat no more
food, but instead distribute their
daily ration into five instead of
three parts.
Recent experiments conducted at
one of the large eastern UNIVERSE
ties point conclusively to the fact
that many of US would be more
efficient if We would take five
meals day, instead of three"
These findings should prove in
teresting to mothers when the chill
dren come home hungry after
school. She should neither urge
them to wait until dinner without
eating, nor let them fill up on
sweets. A cracker or piece of bread
spread with peanut butter, cottage
cheese, or jam, and glass of milk
will serve nicely for this light
repast.
Mothers also can speed up their
daily duties by pausing in the mid
die CT their morning or afternoon
work for glass of orange or to-
mato, juice.
