If you're one of those fortunate
people who can look demure and dan

quite trick-you'll work up tre-
mendouS enthusiasm over dotted
red and white organdy with a red

The sleeves and collar are also ruffled
and piped in the same color.
ROLERO jackets are still out In the

so adaptable. Leave your jacket on

Embroidered eyelet piques are hold
ing their own and doing very nicely,
thank you. They're especially good for
dinner dresses. One, really outstand-
ing, is Of white, embroidered with blue
flowers and boasting a blue patent
leather belt. If you prefer darker
colors, there is navy that looks
so much like lace that it takes close
scrutiny to detect the difference. This
particular gown is trimmed in white
pique and is very striking, especially
for the older woman.
So, you see, there's no end to the
possibilities of cotton for evening wear.
Whether you like 'em fluffy and
demure, bold and striking, or quiet
and conservative they're there for the
asking. And if you don't have at
least one. you're not the smarty We

MRS. RUNNLE. your boy. Jack

ly bad boy. I don't know what you
expect to do with him, I'm sure, but
We neighbors do wish you'd train
him to let helpless animals alone. :"
Jacks mother turned pale. She
heard the irate neighbor hang up the
receiver with a smart click that spoke
of anger aboiling. Her boy. Jack, had
stoned puppy and crippled it. Aw-
full! He had been showing violent
temper lately. The teacher had sent
home word about him Whacking a lit
tie boy on the head with a chair
rail-for no apparent cause. He was
having tantrums at home. And only

Jack, did you stone Phils puppy
and hurt its back?"

Did you mean to do it?"

Didn't you know it was bad

Yes"

about you. of what the teacher and
the children will say How could

Il don't care. III kill them every

them. hate everybody. I'm not
going to school any more. I'm never
going anywhere any more. l wish

When the storm subsided mother
took Jack to the child specialist,
who looked kindly at him through
his specs and said, How are you
Jack? I'm glad you came in.

We won't need to keep your mother
She's got some work to do and can
just as well leave you and me here

a bell, and a whistle, and goes by
electricity. Hitch her up while I do
this job over here You'll find cars

This is what the specialist found
out about Jack that afternoon: He
was 5i2. He had been taught to
read when he was 3; he had been
sent to school at 4; he had entered
the first grade at S: he had been
coached at home to keep we'll ahead
of his class: he was sick to death
of books. study. discipline. home rou-
tine and his life in general He was
tired of being made to stand No. l..
After he had rested and played for
six months in the country free of
books. free of school standards, free
of any of the artificial standards that
groWn-up people had imposed upon
him. he was a bright-faced, cheerful
willing, little boy-friends with all
the world.
You cannot cheat child of his
childhood and expect him to enjoy
the process. You cannot beat Ma
ture. But you can cooperate with
Nature; you can help a child grow
according to Natures plans for him.
And that is the better way.

Cotton clothes have so many ad-

Burnish Hair

Belief That Wave

Is Erroneous.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.


More and more progressive hair
dressers are not only educating
women to use the brush at home, the
hairdressers themselves use it for ar
ranging the hair thus dispelling the
notion that brushing may destroy
the hair wave. That, to my mind
(the silly notion, mean. Is the chief
reason why women still seem re-
luctant to brush the hair. Another
reason, though it's no reason at ALL
is sheer laziness.

Brushing does three important
things: 1t cleanses the hair of sur
face dust, dead cuticle, dandruff scales
and CRIME. 1t helps to distribute oil
more evenly along the hair shaft
1t polishes the hair to a high, lovely
luster.
However, to be really effective
brushing should be done the right
way. There is right way, and there
very definitely is wrong way To
begin with, unless good brush is
chosen for this work and unless it is
kept absolutely clean at all times, the
brushing becomes worthless.
A brush with fairly long, flexible
bristles is recommended, so that it
will reach through the hair and to
the scalp and give the scalp a rotary
massage while the hair is being
brushed.
Do not brush the hair nat down.
Do brush up and out, away from the
natural direction in which the hair
falls. When you have finished you
can comb and brush the hair into
place as you press and arrange the
waves in the line of your coiffure.
Do not wait until you have finished
brushing to cleanse the brush. After

Whales on Jack Spot.
A month or 80 ago reports started
coming in from Ocean City, Md, that
black whales had been sighted or
shore. particularly at the famous
marlin hole. the Jack Spot. At first
local anglers were inclined to be skep-
tical and said that they were not black
whales at all, but were Maryland
rye whales. The reports persisted,
however. and now it Is generally well
established that big school Of whales
is cruising of the Maryland coast.
A captain Of coast liner
reported that he ran along .
school for 10 miles.
After De Witt Harry, president of
of the local chapter of the Izaak WAL
ton League, reported that the two
whales he saw were so and 10 feet
long, Talbot Denmead of the Bureau
of Fisheries said they were not black
whales, but probably sulphur bottoms.
OF course, whales cannot be caught
by anglers, but they affect fishing

by the powerful bird and would be
