-BkAUTx~--' GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA servlce Sum Wrlter

 With the newest hats in the smartest collections looking like hats and not tiny saucefs or straw, ana many fashionables now rejecting the extreme upswept coiffure be- cause 1t makes them look ct least 10 years older, two entirely different hair styles are becoming increasing ly important.
 The first type makes use of very short locks. one whose hair is thick and slightly on the coarse side, may adapt 1t with or without curls, as she chooses. A skillful coiffure ex- pert can cut coarse hair in such Q way that 1t goes back from the face in Q kind of rolled effect without benefit of waves. If the top Is cut correctly and short enough, . charming piled-high arrangement may be managed. The back will fol- low the lines of the head. The nape of the neck will show, but there will not be 0 suggestion of the harsh lines of the old-fashioned shingle. If your hair Is fine and silky, you'll get Q permanent wave imme- diately after your long bob has been cut away and no hair on your head Is more than four inches long. You'll simply wear ringlets. Ringlets all over your head. And ringlets low on the neck just behind ears soften the hard line of the average jaw which an upswept reveals all too starkly.
 A happy compromise between Q short coiffure and on upswept or long bob, whichever you have been wearing, Is short at front and sides but long enough ct the back to al- low for flat, sleek surface from crown to roll In which ends are finished. Front and side sections are likewise arranged in rolls.
 The second important new hair style is known in Paris as "The Dauphin" and 1t combines the best features of the Edwardian upswept with on entirely new line at the back.
 For the Dauphin coifure, the hair Is brushed straight up from temples, with two or three thicks curls centered on the top and ct each side. These, of course, accen- tuate the impression of height--just as the upswept did
 At the back, oil of the hair is held firmly on the nape of the neck with any kind of buckle which happens to strike your fancy. The ends may be curled under or up to form two rolls. Or they may be divided into four smaller vertical rolls. Two curls or four, the idea is to maintain the illusion of Q tiny pigtail-such as the switches which distinguished the wigs of bygone days.
 The Dauphin Is particularly adaptable for evening. Wear Q sim- pie clasp or buckle during daytime hours, but, at night, tie Q wide, flat velvet bow around the hair and over the buckle.
 Or wear @ jeweled snood. Or tuck few fresh flowers through slightly more ornate buckle.

 But I still felt like 6 perfect "heel,' as the youngsters say. Her gentle voice put me to shame. Had It been myself, I probably should have gone right up in the air and let off Q broadside already ell cooked up in my smouldering thoughts, Instead she was heaping coals of fire on my own head.
 And, by the way, to digress a bit ths writer often tells parents what to do, or not to do, through her own shortcomings,I know my limits, my faults, my tendencies. l think that mothers and fathers who know they stnd with themselves, have an edge on others who don't face 1t. Why not correct, or try to correct, in our children those weaknesses that ob- sess us?
 Now I have used up @ lot of space in my introduction. Here is the crux of the matter, at least. What is Q lady? And what Is Q gentleman?
 One who scrapes his hat to his ankles, or in the lady's case, who knows how to wear her hat at the smart angle and how to sit grace fully on chairp
 My lovely friend, for she IS a friend, did not say word to any body. know that. I know her. l know that she is Q fined lady than a real lady, by instinct and by her training. She suffers her little hurts in silence. Even my apologies for a thoughtless act could not help the real wound. She is gentle, soft spoken, gracious. She has a man. ner, but 1t is a sincere manner. I who am impetous and hurried know tha she is of finer clay than I.
 So here Is a recipe for our grow ing girls and our developing stags too. Culture consists of sweetness while enduring hurt. It is made up of courtesy, one part, and of a native kindness the other two.

 Once in discussing a woman with a really great person, the latter in- quired, "Is she lady?"
 said, "What exactly do you mean?"
 There is an ear-mark that is un- mistakable," she replied. Every enc can tell the minute they look at a woman whether she is synthe- tic or real"
 Yes. knew that. Maybe had thought 1t was a secret; that I had exclusive ideas of what makes a lady. Now I was startled in to thinking. Yes, all people instinctive- ly know real lady the minute they see her. We should pass this on tc our girls.
