Barrymore: There is moth
ing that lifts the spirits and re-
lieves tense lines like a good
shampoo. 1t is the best antidote
for temperament"
1t is a fact indeed, every
woman and young miss thinks
Of her thorough shampoo as a
real tonic. 1t will exhilarate one
mentally and physically; and
while we believe the beauty
salon is the best place for the
work, many girls like to do
an occasional home shampoo.
There are a few who tell us
they never have time to go to
a shop and are obliged to care
for their own hair. They become
quite expert, too. with not only
the plain shampoo but even
with rinses and hair tints.
One advantage in the home
shampoo, at least for those who
have porches or open spaces, is
the fresh air and sun treatment.
The ultraviolet ray is like a
Stimulant to any hair. The hair
responds to this treatment with
added new life and brilliancy
just as the eyes and skin do.
So, if possible, give your crown.
ing glory this breathing spell
from time to time.
HoID to
Do 1t
First, use the comb and brush
for five minutes to separate the
hair and remove the dryness
from the scalp. Have your
shampoo ready; it may be one
of the popular, Soapless kind,
or any of the well-known brands,
and even the melted soap will
do. The prepared kind, however,
is usually smooth and there is
no annoyance of soap particles
to be removed.
When the hair has been thor
oughly shampooed, cover the
head with a turkish towel and
rub for a few moments. Then
begin the brushing. Use the
comb to separate it in sections
and brush dry. Then go in the
open air and sun if possible,
and brush until the hair is dry.
Lift the hair with each stroke
so the roots will benefit by the
sun and air, and continue to
polish with brush even after it
Is thoroughly dry.
AUOid
Long Exposure
While the sun and air are
vital to nice hair, we will eau
ton you to avoid long exposure
to the sun. A half hours eX-
posure is too long, so make the
periods about 10 minutes at a
time.
Stay in the open air as long
as you wish, but remember, the
sun must be taken in modera-
ton.
You should haze my protes.

Boy Advises Girl
By George AntheiI

JUDGING from the letters receive, the one male
- accusation that makes girls writhe in resentment
is to be called Old-fashioned" And apparently, the
men know about this feminine weakness For, after,
they've tried everything else to bring girl to time,
SUCH as the absent treatment, broken dates no tee-
phoning, oral arguments, contemporary examples and
what-not, they it cncher. And the funny part
of it is that many of you girls fall for this ancient line

gagged. He laughed and told me
was old-fashioned; that all the
other girls were doing 1t and
mentioned some of their names.
Then he didn't come near me
for over two weeks and never
wrote or telephoned.
1.-THE next time I saw him I
asked him why and he told ne
that was too old-fashioned
and that he was going to get
himself a girl who wasn't. He
didn't say it mean-like OF nasty
and he was smiling all the time,
but just the same I know he's
serious and that he'll do what
he says.
II argued with him and told
him that my clothes, dancing,
and other things were as mod
ern as could be, but he said that
made no difference; that if 1
was old-fashioned in one thing
it made me old-faSh1oned all
through. And that none Of the
boys wanted to go out with an
old-fashioned lady, Those are
his very words. I can tell you,
it made me boil.
Nov, Mr.. Antheil, I don't
want to lose my boy friend. I
like to go out and have some
fun. But what shall I do? I
want to be as modern as the
other girls and not have the
boys call me an 'old-fashioned
lady, Won't you please tell me
what to do? TROUBLED"
Nothing to
Worry About
Get over your idea, 'Trou-
bled," that being called "old-
fashioned" is insulting. Then
let your predatory male know
of your changed attitude. He's
only trying to get you to do what
he wants you to. Furthermore,
his statement, that none of the
boys want to go out with ian

He knows it isn't true and prob
ably admits it to himself. So,
you stick to your principles,

1t was no easy thing to sell the
idea to Travers even though it held
out the promise of several thous-

all the amateurs who ever played

bible. He refused to capitalize on his

No one will ever know how the

they tell of him his must have been
