Dorothy Dix Says
Show Weddings Are Often Mere
Exhibitions of Human Vanity

To me a show wedding has always
been one of the most inexpli-
cable exhibitions of human vanity
Getting married is just as solemn
and awful and personal an expe-
rience as dying. Why any one wants
to dixie themselves up in finery,
and invite a gaping and critical
crowd to watch them go through
the ordeal that is to change their
whole lives and decide their future
happiness or misery is beyond ex-
planning AS well might we put
on our shrouds and summon our
friends and acquaintances in to see
us draw our last breaths.
OF course, I am aware that this
is not the popular view to take
Of the subject, at least so far as
women are concerned. Probably SO
per cent OF the poor, badgered,
frightened bridegrooms, who realize
that they are the Forgotten Man
at their own weddings and of no
earthly use except as an excuse for
the showoff, would agree with me.
But most girls would rather be old
maids than to be married in decent
privacy.
All Of their lives they have
dreamed of marching to the altar
in white satin and tulle and orange
blossoms, accompanied by ushers
and flower girls and ring-bearers
and bridesmaids. So they are bound
to have a display wedding, no mat
ter whether or not they can afford
it; no matter how much it wrecks
themselves and their families; no
matter how greatly they are going

HairBrushing
Restores
Beauty
Correctly Done, It
Stimulates the
Gland Action
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Despite all the warnings you had
from me and other beauty editors,
you have probably closed your ears
to advice and now your hair looks
like an abandoned birds nest!
Strawlike in texture, kinky and
faded! The sun, the sea and your
indifference have taken their toll
OF hair beauty, and unless You get
busy quick with the hair brush and
weekly scalp treatments your hair
will permanently lose some Of the
glory it had!
Even young things. still In their
early teens, cannot afford to neglect
their hair long, for nature gets a
little tired of trying to restore beau-
ty which has been robbed again and
again. One day. sister, you will
wake up to realize that your hair
is not as pretty as it used to be and
1t probably will be too late to CAP
ture again its natural gloss, elas-
ITCHY and color.
Scientific hair brushing, with flex-
lble wrist strokes up and away from
the scalp all over your head, does
much to preserve and encourage
hair beauty. If you will wipe your
brush on clean towel after every
10 or IS strokes you will see how
much dust and CRIME you are taking
OF your scalp and hair. You are
actually cleasing both. Steady
brushings each day keep the nat
ural oil from your scalp distributed
down to the very end of your per-
manent wave and thus makes 1t
more ruly and more beautiful.
Brushing does more. If done cor
rectly it stimulates the gland action
OF your scalp, which might tend to
be a bit sluggish Thus the pores
secrete what waste they are ex-
pected to and also the valuable min
eral oil which polishes and preserves
the color of your hair.
II you purchase a good make
brush it will be your friend for
years. You have been told this be-
fore. 1t is better to sacrifice a fancy
back and get better, genuine boar
bristles, which are long and flexible.
Those vanity sets of brush, mirror
and comb, usually have poor brush.
1t Is a better investment to buy a
lovely hand mirror separately, to
ornament your dresser TOP and TO
buy a comb which will not scrape
your scalp and a brush which will
do well by you. These should be
tucked away in a drawer after you
use them so they will not collect
dust.
A brush with resilient bristles ar
ranged In rows so as to catch the
shorter hairs, as well as the longer
ones when you brush will be a great
satisfaction to you.

so they rode around toun-

in Pups and Bingo's coats, but at
least it's pleasant. Besides, it can
and should be, washed out. But
salt water on the inside just doesn't
90. At least it doesn't stay. The
trouble being, among other things
that the more of it is consumed
the thirstier is the drinker. A
fresh-water dish, set in some con-
venient spot where sand can't get
in, is the ticket. Lacking such a
spot, fill it from the thermos when
desired. Crockery bowls keep water
cool and fresh at home But enamel
or some unbreakable stuff is best
while on the road. Whatever it is
keep it clean.

They couldn't afford a radiator

sit on the hood. Oh, they had
one Of those little round gadgets
which keeps what's supposed to be

it was the decorative angle which

course the score must be evened.
So they rode around town and
all the folks on the street gaped

they'd probably have passed the

AS have said. few men are keen
on making a public display of them

been so intimidated and bewildered
by all the fuss of the preparation
that has been going on around them
for weeks that they lost their nerve.

OUNCES.
"Parboil the ounces in q metal
pan. Pare them and cut them In
as large pieces as possible without
coming to the core. Put the peel
ings and cores in one bowl, and the
small trimmings in another. First,
boil hard the cores and skins in suf-

begin to thicken. Take them of the

through sieve. To every pint al
low pound Of sugar. When the
sugar Is dissolved, let 1t get cold;
stir in the white of an egg, well
beaten. Put mixture on fire and
let 1t boil for 40 minutes. Strain

jelly.
while the jelly is boiling, put on
the peels again we'll covered with

weigh the large pieces of ounces,
and to every pound put pound of
sugar. Take the water the parings
were last boiled in, dissolve the
sugar in 1t, and when nearly cold

enough water to cover them. Let
them boil one hour as hard as pos
sible. Put them in sterilized Jars

Flower Rings New
And Very Unusual.
The man who said, "You never get
something for nothing" evidently
didn't know about an offer by one
of the leading nail product firms.
They're giving away a cunning little
ring with an artificial flower tucked
through it. This, of course, with the
purchase of one of their fine nail
enamels. The ring is a most at
tractive one with the flower in
shade to match your polish and
what's more, it's designed to fit any
finger -. Seems as though Prin-
cess Eugene liked to indulge in this
type of romanticism, so the creator
Of these products thought it a wise
idea to revive the custom. From the
reception these rings have received, 1t
evidently was. -.

ginning to tire of your suntan. It

wasn't it? But with the approach of
fall and oh-so-ladylike fashions it
looks as out of place as ski shoes
with evening clothes. So, here's
what you can do about 1t. There
are several fomulas recommended
by a house that produces excellent
beauty aids. No need, they tell us, to
let a healthy brown turn into q sal
low, muddy tan, for you can quickly
and effectively revive the clear, fair
texture of your skin. First, cleanse
the skin thoroughly with their spe-
cial bleaching cream. Mold it into
the skin for five or ten minutes. Then
apply and leave on for about an hour
special cream to improve the cir
culation. {. :. This should recondition
and help to revive your somewhat
leathery summer complexion. OF
course, if you need more intensive
treatment you may cleanse and
then apply q bleaching stimulant.
Follow this with night cream. You'll
be surprised how much can be done
to get your skin back to its nor
mally soft and velvety texture. :.
