|Tints for
The Hair
Initiating Natures
Blend of COlOrs
Always Best.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

I'VE done a little secret detective work
myself. I've asked a fairly repre-
sentative group of about 200 women
their reactions to hair coloring and
hair tinting In general. Some OF these
women are quick and frank to admit
that they color their hair. Some have
never used . hair coloring and would
not want to. Some would like to. but
hesitate out OF fear that the change
may be too sudden and drastic. And
there I think We have the chief rea-
son why more women do not attempt
anything to accent the color Of the
hair.
Makeup for the face Is far ahead
Of color for the hair. We accept make
up and 80 out Of every 100 modern
women use makeup and achieve q
very beautiful, natural effect with it.
That, to be sure Is the reason why
makeup is accepted. can remember
the time when it was frowned upon,
when women used rouge in secret
much as they use hair coloring today.
1t Is true that Nature painted . mas
terpiece when she gave us our facial
coloring: the lights and shadows, the
shiny and dull surfaces, the eyes and
lips. cheeks and se-forehead- chin
contrasts. And 1t is true that the hair
Il more or less one tone.
But is the hair one tone? Or Is 1t
. subtle blend Of color? Doesn't it
have golden glints on brown: or red
dish tones on black; or copper lights
suffused with black or brown or red?
To true experts in hair coloring. their
work Is fascinating study. They con-
slider their work successful when it
comes nearest Natures own, when it
is so subtly done that no one can de-
tect the color as artificial.
There is now available q new set of
three oil shampoo tints made by an old
reliable family. We might refer to
them as triplets, because one series
merely acts as enlivening, brighten
ing. conditioning shampoo actual
color. Another series with color does
a very subtle job of pointing up dull
hair, smoothing out streaks, and SINH
lar blemishes or color irregularities.
It's a gradual, progressive change,
neither sudden nor artificial, 20 that
you yourself are not consciously aware
Of the change. For those who wish q
complete change of color, . complete
covering Of gray there Is still another
series that does its work with high
speed!

into the dust to be discarded like an
old garment whose looks and useful
ness are ended.
Besides this, marriage IS woman's
vocation as we'll as her avocation.
Running her home Is the trade by
which she makes her living and, If this
Is broken up, it nearly always forces
her to lower scale of living, for there
are comparatively few men who can
pay enough alimony to support their
ex-wives in comfort.
Likewise, women cling to the archaic
view that when . man marries
woman and takes the oath before the
altar to love. honor and cherish her
until death shall them part that 1t Is
= binding contract that he should
keep.
There are also many answers to be
made to your question as to why wives
don't make it easy for their husbands
to leave them for another woman.
One is. as I have said. that the wife
probably still loves the poor creature.
The second Is the children. She
doesn't want her children half
orphaned and deprived Of . fathers
care. for many poor husbands are good
fathers, and robbed of the education
and start in life he could give them.
Nor does she desire to give up all that
she has worked for in the years since
she married q poor boy and toiled and
scrimped and saved to help him make
q fortune and place in the world
She feels she has q right to share in
his prosperity as she did in his hard
times. and that 1t isn't fair that she
be turned out like q poor old work
horse that has served its purpose.
So you see there are q good many
reasons why this wife doesn't divorce
husband 20 you can have him. And
there Is still another reason that you
do not seem to have guessed and that
Is that the man doesn't want you and
he Is sheltering himself behind his
wife's skirts. Most philanderers are
like that. The last thing in the world
that they want is for their wives to
divorce them.

"Well, hurry up" said Bruno.
1t was no hurry-up job, and Bruno
grew impatient. "Aw, hurry up, will

up"
Let me alone. I can't hurry with
you nagging me all the time. Shut up

Bruno looked around to see what he
could play with that would annoy Carl
most. His searching eyes lit upon
Mac, Carls adored Scottie. Joyously
he pounced upon Mac. lugged him to
the sofa and began stroking him the
wrong way. Mac jumped down and
tried to get under the sofa. but Bruno

Instantly Carl was upon Bruno.

seemed peaceful enough, but Gran

she thought It dreadful for Carl to
slap his brother and to threaten

of the combatants.
Nonsense, mother. Carl never hurts
him. He rarely slaps him. He needed
slap. He knows better than to tor
ment the dog. He didn't care what he
did as long as he could attract Carls
attention. I can't slap him, but If his
brother does, in simple justice, it is
quite all right. You see, he thinks so,
too, for he isn't making any complaint
and he would be right here with his
tale If he had any"
Children profit by each others criti-
cism and correction. It does not do
for brothers and sisters many years
older than the children to boss them
and slap them and push them around.
The older ones are too close to being
adult. But between those Of compare

change Of brotherly and sisterly ad-
monition ts not ut all bad.
The same thing happens on the
playground. One child will try to
get attention, or perhaps the best of
situation. by unsocial ways and the
other will slap MIN. That is no crime.
Let them settle things between them
selves. Interfere only If one child
Is much older than the other. That
Is where education stops and bullying
begins.

isl But there's plenty more to
the story than that admission.
Any merchant will tell you
that a woman will drive o
sharper bargain than a man :.
be pestier over details de-
mand the most value out Of
every penny. Nor is this true
only of American females. The
housewives of the old world
French. German, Italian, Rus
sian and English - are even
keener Penny Pinchers. But
why? There's a reason and a
plain one.
It's the woman who is the
spender and saver in the home.
Nine out of every ten dollars
earned in the U. S. A. are in
vested or banked by the moth
ers and wives Of America Ask
any great advertiser to whom
he directs his printed appeal
and he will say, every time-"To
the women"
But is this necessarily a sign
of greed? Or does it prove that
women is, at heart, a selfish,
cold-blooded grabber?
1T DOES NOT!
1t merely means that woman
is on her job performing
her ancient and hereditary
duty.
It is as natural and compul-
sorry for a woman to conserve
money as it is for a man to
make it. AS no normal man can
keep face" without working
and adventuring, so no woman
can run true to form unless she
turns his venture into an in
vestment.
Even when some nitwit Eve
Squanders her husbands hard
earned shekels on gilded gee
gaws, she is still expressing her
urge in a warped form. And this
peculiar balancing Of Get and
Grab and Keep is one of the
most marvellous and blessed
contrivances of Nature. without
it, the race could not go on. It
is as vital in its way as the urge
to perpetuate the species.
So the next time Mabel asks
you, Bill, why're you holding out
that $1.23-there's the answer.
She's a pest-I admit it. And a
flea in the ear. But If hard
times come, you and the young
sters will bless her for that itch
ing finger.
