back = to-the home for women-ers, Is
because they have taken mems Jobs
away from them and the poor dears
can't afford to marry. That is a
plausible alibi, but it doesn't bear
checking up, since women, as rule,
fill only the lowest brackets in indus
try and on the pitiful wages they
earn no man could afford to marry
unless he felt, as did the optimistic
gentleman In the old story, that he
had as good a right to starve a wife
as anybody else.
But why all this bother about the
working woman? It seems to me it Is
the simplest proposition in the world
and 1t resolves itself into the right of
every human being to life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness, irrespective
OF sex. If girl wants to work and
has the ability to do so, let her. II q
girl needs the money she earns, who
shall say her nay? And, If she fills
a good-paying job that some man
would like to have, why is she in
fringing on his rights and preroga-
tives any more than a man rival
would? Why should men be protected
from competition from women and
not from other men?
Much is said about the nefarious
conduct of girls who 60 into business
when they have fathers able to sup
port them, but the number of those
who do this is so small as to be neg
ligible. Girls are not 50 industrious
that they work for the fun of the
thing Nor have they a queer taste
that makes them prefer toiling in an
office or store to going to parties and
playing golf and otherwise leading
the life of Miss Riley.
FOR many, many years have been
intimately associated with working
women and I have not known a dozen
who did not work because they had
to support themselves. Nor have I
known six who did not have family
responsibilities and who were not TAX
ing care Of old parents or a sick hus-
band or helpless little children.
Those who would force women out
Of all the gainful occupations and
make marriage the only way by which
they can make living would make
marriage a vocation instead of an avo-
cation. They take from marriage
everything that is sacred. For the
woman who marries just for q support
Is no wit better than her sister who
sells herself on the street No girl
now has to marry for livelihood. She
can make one for herself. And gen.
orally she does. And it will be an
evil day for the world when woman's
economic freedom is taken away from
her and she has to marry for gain in
stead OF for love.
I agree with my friend that mar
riage is the best and the happiest ca
reer for q woman, but it Is only that
way when she chooses 1t. When it is
forced on her she is very miserable
and makes her husband miserable.

was a buffalo moth that Minnie found
In the coat closet, or could buffalo
moth have made those diamond
shaped holes In Tommy's golf stock
ings? It gets to be pretty upsetting
after awhile, this business of being
the buffalo moth lady" 1 really
think the entire tribe of insects should
give me big bonus for being such a
swell publicity agent for them!
In self-defense therefore (though
not without touch OF mtsgiving) I
again take up the subject Of buffalo
moths, their habits, their diet and
their control Gf any. If any Of my
readers do me the honor Of following
this column with some degree of regu-
larity. they will be familiar with what
am going to say, and can knock OF
70: this evening! But there must be
innocent souls who have yet to en-
counter the demon Of the insect world,
or who have just been introduced for
the first time, and to them this effu-
sion Is sympathetically dedicated!
nONT, you poor dears, sit mugly
back and think that because you
have screens in your windows, moth
balls in the put-away clothes and an
energetic vacuum cleaner that you
are safe. Not q bit OF It, Mama
Buffalo Moth cares not a flick OF
dlster for any Of them. She enters
serenely into your domain through the
cracks around screens-even through
its meShes IL she is of the petite type.
She looks like very small ladybug.
but Is brown and beige instead Of
black and red. Brown and beige Is
very smart this year,
She fits gaily about your best room
and looks for the darkest spot-pref-
erably with stuffing or q good bit Of
matted dustin which to set up
housekeeping. As the columnists say
coyly, "She Is nursery shopping" and
your home has been picked for the
blessed event.

slightly lower In water content. Raw
fruit and vegetable salads are another
good idea. Fresh cucunbers have a
water content as high as s5.4 per cent,
and cantaloupes hold 89.5 per cent
water. These foods form the best way
OF sliding into the low-calorie group,
which predominates during the real
Summer weather.
The cup of tea at meals end is sug-
gested as particularly good idea, be-
cause tea is practically 100 per cent
liquid. Having high vitality content
and almost no solids to be digested, it
therefore develops energy without put
ting any tax on the digestive system.

into business, and to impress upon
them how much nicer it is for them
to sit on q silk cushion and sew
up q seam and feed upon strawber-
ries, sugar and cream than it IS to
stand behind a counter or pound a
typewriter all day.
I would be glad to comply with my
friends request except that, in the
first place, it is superfuous and a
waste Of time to persuade girls to
espouse men instead of jobs They
are only too eager to do it. And,
in the second place, it is an imprac-
tical suggestion because the poor work.
ing girl has no silken cushion to sit
upon at home and not even bread
and butter to eat, to say nothing of
strawberries and cream, unless she is
her own meal ticket.
Possibly there are young women
who prefer Offices to vine-wreathed
cottages; who dream OF mahogany
desks and adding machines instead
of blue and white kitchens and peram-
bulators, and who would rather dis
cuss the stock market with q man
than to have him tell them how
beautiful and wonderful they are and
how different from all other women.
But, if such there be, they are a
phenomenon of nature, just as rare
as hens teeth.
THE great majority Of girls want
to marry. They intend to marry.
Most OF them regard their jobs as
just bridge Of sighs over which
they must pass from the school room
to the altar, and the reason that so
few Of them make success in busi-
ness is that they are giving one lobe
Of their brains to their work and
the balance of their minds to the
husband chase.
The reason it is 50 hard for women
to find husbands nowadays, say the

quite . simple matter to the oper-
ators, who receive special training be-
fore being allowed to give permanents
test curl before proceeding with
the whole head.
IF YOU do not care for the machine
less wave there are other modern
methods that produce an equally good
wave and also eliminate the overhead
apparatus. The principle Of these
waves is a compact unit which Is used
for heating clamps that are trans
ferred and placed over the hair. which
has been carefully rolled ON the usual
rods. There are several different kinds
of heating units, all Of which involve
much the same idea and are well liked.
Now, may we make q suggestion
about having q few reconditioning
treatments before you have your per-
manent? This often insures much
better results, especially for those re-
turning from the South, when the
hair has been exposed to sun and
wind and has become more or less
dry. The best OF permanents have
drying tendency. 50 why not take
some precautionary measures and be
on the safe side?
- ~
ON THE same subject Of recondi-
tioning we might mention the
good home method OF thoroughly
brushing the hair night and morning.
Brushing Is very beneficial to the
hair and scalp, provided you have a
good brush with stin, yet flexible
bristles. Usually such q brush Is an
expensive proposition, as many are
imported from England. But we found
one the other day that measures up
to all the requirements and yet Is
not high in price. These brushes are
sort of q tradition In q good old
Quaker family, where they have been
made through successive generations
for the last 80 years The bristles
are good black boar bristles, the kind
that come from the best bristle region
OF Northern Russia. They are hand
strung with copper wires into the
back OF the brush and are used in
uneven lengths so that the short ones
comb the hair while the long ones
massage the scalp. The brushes are
long and narrow, light as . feather
and widely used in beauty salons
because they stand up 50 well under
continued sterilizing. At $l.79 these
are real buy.
The photograph above shows soft,
fattering arrangement Of curk pro-
duced by the machineless waving
method. 1t features high corona
ton hairdress with one large, loose
curl on top Of the head. Although there
is much ado about the Page Boy coif-
fure with its reverse roll at the back,
it is style that is difficult to get we'll
done and more Difficult to keep looking
well after it has been set. We hear
that by Fall the hair is going to be
piled high on the head, with the long
ends made into a mass of puffs and
curls. Fashion always swings to ex-
tremes 50 that those who do not favor
the very long hair styles Of the mo-
ment may look forward to q swift
change that is more to their liking.

very few calorieS, so that storage
comes easier for you than most
people, but it is an indiSputable
scientific fact that an excess of
food as compared with your needs
is responsible for your overweight.
Indeed with endogenous abesity
the term used for glandular over
weight-it is more important than
ever that there be a decrease in
the fuel foods of the diet. No
change is made in the quality of
the menu, but the quantity should
be lessened to correspond with
with your extremely low calorie re-
QuirementS.
Whether or not you need to
take something to speed up your
metabolism is a matter for your
doctor to decide. In any case,
however, thyroid or any product
containing thyroid should only be
taken upon medical mans ad-
vice and under his constant Su-
pervision. Although thyroid
speeds up the metaboliSm and en-
ableS you to burn more food, it
is as dangerous as dynamite and
should be used with the same
caution. 1t is a risky remedy, and
its use-as one doctor expressed
it's to correct one evil by Gre
ating another"
Only one person in 100 has
glandular obesity. So, before you
blame your glands for your lack
Of streamlines, try cutting your
total calories to 1900 or 1,400 per
day. This will eliminate poly,
phagia - excess eating as the
cause Of your overweight.
Since most people love to eat to
the same extent that they hate to
exercise, storing calorieS is a
natural consequence.
You may not eat too much, but
if you are above normal weight you
at least eat too much of the wrong
food and exercise too little to burn
all the calorieS, for every last
calorie you take must be burned as
energy or stored as fat.
The answer to your weight prob
lem is more exercise or less food
and probably both measures
Taking less cream, butter and fats
in general, less sugar and starch
and more fruits and vegetables

Down Memory Lane!

NV very first recollection goes
back to when Memory Lane was
only a footpath. 1 can remember
lying in my crib and crying,
"Momma! Momma! 1 want my
bottle!" Next day the mailman
brought me letters from Jack
Benny, Fred Allen and Phil Baker
telling me to stop using that line
Immediately because they had orig
mated it years before!

ater revolve about Charlie Chaplin.

holding contests to find the best
imitators of the lovable little guy

one which l entered and won. 1

overcomes their usual caution.
