FOR DRY HAIR
For dry hair. hot oil treatment
cannot be beaten. Simply rub hot
olive oil into your scalp and the
dry ends Of hair, then wiring

Now place your elbows on a

liquid shampoo. Of course. and
rinsing thoroughly.
For exceptionally oily hair, .

plenty Of prepared shampoos
which contain quantities of pine
tar. And IL is possible to buy

What a Guest OF Honor Wears

What Guest OF Honor Wears
Dear Mrs. Post. A friend is
giving q large afternoon tea In my
honor. She is wearing a long after
noon dress and no hat because her
party will be at home. Two OF
her intimate friends are going to
sit at the tea table and pour tea
and chocolate. I am especially in
terested in my clothes. as to
whether I too should wear a long
dress. and go without a hat And
her friends who are pouring would
like me to ask about their clothes,
too. VIII you answer these ques-
tons for all of u.s.
Answer: Correctly. you wear a
hat; and q long dress. But II the
hostess were wearing a short one it
would be best to do the same. The
fact that she does not wear a hat
does not prevent your wearing one
IL you'd like to. Those who pour
at q tea table generally wear hats,
but again this depends upon local
custom, which of course vary in
different communities. The more
formal the community the more
likely is everyone to wear a hat.

shower for a newly married friend.

quirements.

tainly have worn our best evening
clothes, but my son tells us that
relatives are wearing street-length
day dresses and the men ordinary
day suits. This does seem very
strange to us at an eight o'clock
wedding, and I wonder whether
your advice would be that of when
In Rome -? And with day
clothes in the evening, shall l wear
q hat?
Answer: I would by all means
suggest an afternoon dress OF
conservative street length. i think
