Individualized
Hair Styles
Popular
Correct Couture
Will Minimize
Bad Features
by PATRICIA LINDSAY

Usually hair stylists are men,
Don't ask me why but all the ia
NOUS salons Of large cities seem to
hire men artists. Now . woman
has come along who definitely is a
hair stylist and not just a hair
dresser-Lura Degez. And she
seems to know pretty much what
chic women of today want in the
way Of individualized coiffures.
"The Duchess Of Windsor, Eve
Curie, Claudette Colbert and Bar
bara Hutton are the most initiated
women OF the hour in coif1ures
says Miss Degez. Their sleek in
dividually designed hair styles (all
upD prove conclusively that the
long flowing bob Is no longer con-
sidered soignee.
"The fact that all these women
have definite feature faults i'm
presses the average woman with the
practicability of high hair for every
type Of face II 1t is styled well. The
Duchess OF Windsor overcomes her
exaggerated jaw line by wings of
hair high at the sides, accomplished
by deep dips in the wave. She bal
ances the jutting Of her profile by
brushing her hair in q swirl in back.
Eve Curie daughter of Madame
Curie) wears a glorified adaptation
OF the severe high-brushed hair-do.
Only women with heart shaped
faces, regular features and mag
nificent intelligent foreheads can
really get away with It. It Is merely
q halo roll made by brushing the
back half forward, and the front
half backward-parting the hair
across the head from ear to ear and
making the front and back rolls of
hair meet at the ears!
"Claudette Colbert's coif1ure is the
most practical as it may be worn
four separate ways after only one
setting! 1t requires cutting the hair
to a three-inch length all over the
head, waving 1t, and setting it in
ringlets. The crown Of the head is
straight giving the effect Of a tiny
skull cap surrounded by three rows
OF ringlets. Miss Colbert often does
not part her hair but if a part is
more becoming to you 1t may be
worn. The ringlets may be worn as
curled bangs over the forehead, or
brushed high into a sleek smooth
roll around the head. Or they may
all be brushed out in a carefree
fashion and allowed to fly free or
held into place on either side by an
Alice in Wonderland ribbon or by
flowers. This style looks we'll with
the flshnet snoods so popular this
summer.
Barbara Hutton's is, extremely be-
coming to thin and full faces but
it requires two settings a week at
least for its beauty depends upon
every hair being in place, and a
perfectly groomed face beneath it!
Her hair is set in fairly chunky
ringlets, a triangular portion from
the crown to the temples is set in
small ringlets. The two sides are
set high over the ears. The back
is set in two rows of ringlets low
at the nape Of the neck. With this
setting the hair may be combed in
one continuous roll which brings the
ends at a high side part, or 1t may
be brushed into high smooth POM
padour in which flower is set for

spoon OF water-then coat with fine
dry bread crumbs or cornmeal.
Have a skillet ready with half an
inch or more of well-favored fat,
Plenty of fat is needed to fry chicken
without burning. Heat this fat
but not to the smoking point. Then
put the chicken in, the thickest
pieces first. Leave plenty of space
around each piece so that the fat
may come up around the edges.
Partly cover the pan-to keep fat
from spattering-so that the steam
may escape. Turn the chicken when
brown. Keep the heat moderate so
that the chicken will be tender and
JUICY. Remove it from the pan as
soon as 1t is done. Allow about 20 to
Is minutes for the thickest pieces Of
3-pound chicken (market dressed
weight, AGAIN..
When a number of chickens are
fried at one time, and skillet space
is limited, or where the birds are
rather large, some cooks like to finish
the chicken IN moderate oven 900
degrees Fahrenheit. Take the we'll
Drowned pieces from the skillet. Put
them on rack in pan. Cover and
continue cooking in the oven until
there is no pink next to the bones.
Remove the cover about the last Is
minutes of cooking.
Deep Fat
Method.
Another good way to cook flyers
especially the smaller ones-is in
deep fat. Chickens fried this way
are usually cut in quarters. Then
they are either coated with an egg
and crumb mixture or dipped in a
thin batter. Proportions for a thin
batter are l egg, q cup milk, cup
slfted flour, and y teaspoon salt
Have enough fat in a deep kettle
to cover the chicken without over
flowing the kettle Heat this fat
to $50 degrees Fahrenheit. A deep
fat thermometer clipped to the side
OF the Kettle will help to keep the fat
at the right temperature.
Lower the chicken, piece by piece,
carefully into the hot fat. Do not
overcrowd the kettle. When the
chicken goes in, it will cool the fat
somewhat. Regulate the heat so
that the fat is between 300 degrees
and 325 degrees Fahrenheit through
out the frying.
Quarters of 21a pound chicken
dressed Weight-should be done In
10 to Is minutes. Drain on absorbent
paper and serve on hot platter. Or,
take the rhicken out of the fat before
1t is gu Ue done, drain, then finish
cooking on rack in a covered pan
in moderate oven. Uncover for 4
short time before removing from the
oven.

Harmony Is
At Stake
Silent Treatment
For Quarreling
Youngsters
BY ANGELO PATRI.

When brothers and sisters quar-
rel, as they frequently do, silence
between them until they cool OF, is
good thing. When this situation
is in force 1t is just as well for the
rest of the family to ignore it. If
nothing is said about it the COOL
ness soon passes and the old re-
lationships are established once
more.
But there Is sort Of child who
loves to nurse a grudge. He takes
offense easily and holds it as long
as possible. He stops speaking to
some member of the family and
holds his silence long past the time
when he should have forgotten and
forgiven. If this is allowed to go
on matter that ordinarily is trivial
becomes serious and the family har-
mony is threatened. Something
must be done about the grudge-
holding child.
Take him aside. Make clear to
him that he is one, just one, of
a group who must live together
peaceably, and that he cannot take
more than his share of unpleasant
ness. He would, and does, object
to anyone's taking the lions share
Of pleasure. The same thing holds
good on the other side. Everybody
is allowed a limited amount of
meanness and he has had his share.
He must let go now and forget 1t.
Cheer himself up.
He won't take to the idea read
lily, for parting with his grudge
seems to make him lonesome. But
make clear to him that he must.
He has reached the limit. He Is
to speak to every member of the
family when spoken to, and do his
share of the speaking first. To help
him over the hurdle of his self
consciousness-and it is exaggerated
self-consciousness that ails him
give him something to do that puts
him In contact with the other chill
dren 50 that speaking is easy and
comes naturally out Of occupation.
Don't make the mistake OF trying
to force him to speak to his sister,
or brother, or to apologize. If you
do anything like that the seh-con-
scious child is driven further into
himself by q feeling of resentment.
His ailment is heightened. Broth
ers and sisters usually give as good
as they get, and they can be left
to settle their own disputes. The
grudging one is to be forced to let
go his grudge, not by direct order
to address his brothers and sisters
whom he has sent to Coventry, but
by sending him into the kind Of
action that will lead, naturally, to
his addressing them. He is told
he must let 60 Of his grudge, and
get busy. and forget this business.
But he is not forced to 60 to his
enemy of -the-day and apologize or
otherwise humiliate himself.
What we are trying to do for
this afiicted young person is to
help him to relieve himself Of an
imposed burden which he has car
ried 80 long that he doesn't know
how to get rid Of 1t without loss
Of face. We show him q way out
and give him the necessary shove
to start him OF.
We don't magnify the quarrels of
children, but we don't let them be-
come permanent barriers to fam
lily relationships.

appointed in their wives as there are
women who are disappointed in
their husbands, but most men refuse
to let their matrimonial blunders
wreck their whole lives. They alb
sorb themselves in their business, or
some hobby, and push their regrets
into the back of their minds and
get along very comfortably, thank
you. A woman under the same
circumstances broods over her regret
for what might have been until she
lets 1t shut out all the sunshine of
existence for her.
Men are also less critical of their
wives than wives are of their hus-
bands. A wife's little personal pc
culiarities do not get on her hus-
bands nerves as his do on hers.
After the average man marries a
woman he virtually never sees her
again and doesn't notice whether
she is getting fat or stringy; whether
she dresses like trump or a mani
kin: nor does he listen to her enough
to know whether she is spellbinder
or bore. But a wife is always
acutely conscious of her husband
and the way he looks and acts. That
is why she can let his passion for
red neckties or the way he eats his
eggs blind her to all the virtues of
a noble nature and spoil q good
marriage for her.
Men, too, have more sense Of re-
sponsibility in marriage than women
have. When woman buys some
thing in shop and gets 1t home
and looks 1t over, If 1t no longer
appeals to her fancy she sends it
back. If a man has bought some
thing on his own judgment he feels
he has to keep it. The two sexes
take pretty much the same attitude
toward marriage. Business has
taught men that they have to stick
to the bargains they have made
and make the best Of them. but
women feel that they have the in
anenable right to change their
minds as often as they like. Hence
Reno.
Taking 1t all in all, men are better
losers in marriage than women.
And that is because, perhaps. mar
riage means less to q man than It
does to q woman.

giving, the following suggestions may
come as timely reminders.
First step in getting good fried
chicken is the selection of suitable
bird. If this is to come from
home poultry flock, the getting
should be simple matter - the
catching of cockerel, obviously just
right for Independence Day eating.
The buying of a chicken, however,
will take more care-if less footwork.
Age and Weight
Important.
Most important points in buying
chicken for frying are age and
weight. Weight Of fryers runs from
~ to 312 pounds, market dressed
weight. That means, plucked but
undrawn, with head and feet still
on. The age of fryers will range
from IA weeks to about S months.
One reliable clue to the age of
chicken is the feel OF the breast
bone. If this is very flexible, the
bird is young enough to fry.
Chickens that meet these age and
weight requirements should be soft
meated enough that they'll cook ten
der by frying. The best chickens
for table use are short and stocky,
rather than rangy. Breasts and all
bones are we'll covered with flesh so
that the bird has a meaty look.
Since there is limit to the weight
OF a chicken that's classed as
fryer, buying for a number of per-
sons usually is a question Of how
many. The answer depends partly
on the appetite of every one con-
cerned. But a 3-pound fryer ordi-
narily may be counted on to serve
about four persons. That's three
pounds OF chicken as it's bought
market dressed weight.
Most common way to fry chicken
is In a skillet in shallow fat. But
chicken fried golden brown and
done to turn is no common prod
uct. 1t requires simple, yet ex-
acting, technique.
Simple Frying
Instructions.
Cut the chicken into serving por-
tions. How much it should be dis
jointed depends on its size. With
large fryers it is a good idea to
separate thigh from drumstick and
to cut the breast in two or more
pieces. Often the back Is cut In
two also. Cut up this way chicken
will yield about 10 pieces, not count
ing the neck and giblets. In the
large fryer class would be a chicken
that weighed 31a pounds, market
dressed weight. This should serve
about five.
Salt and pepper each piece of
chicken and roll in flour. Or dip the
pieces in egg beaten up with a table

Ddllh 1A1lN wiz WAN bAoAAAS VAASAAA'
Millinery this summer is not the
uninteresting type we've become all
too used to seeing. Instead. it fea-
lures detailing that marks it FASH
ionable, Chic, Smart, Unusual and
all the other adjectives that fashion
writer's scatter to the four winds.
OF most interest since the summer
season started have been turbans.
They're in every size, shape and fab
ric you can mention, and women
have taken to them with great glee,
especially for travelling. If you've
ever taken trip with several of
these hats you can appreciate the
fact that they are so comfortable you
don't even know you're wearing
headgear: they stay firmly in place,
anchoring all stray locks of hair, and
they pack like something that was
born and bred to a suitcase. Over
and above that, even the inexpensive
ones are smart and look equally well
with tailored sport or more fussy
daytime frocks. The famous john
Frederics has draped an evening
turban of pleated pink chiffon from
which two full-length scarf ends
hang to the floor and give the ap-
pearance of cape. However, the
usual styles seen here are of jersey,
crepe or flshnet In white or white
with colors. Some few colored tur-
bans are to be found, but they seem
to take second place in the field led
by the whites. This type of hat may
have streamers down the back, may
be tilted over one eye or placed far
back on the head Often they are
anchored by snoods, but always the
Evening star., 1939-06-28

important thing to consider Is the
draping of the hat.
Flower Turbans
Are Seen Here.
Some time ago we received news
that tiny flower and fruit laden
turbans were considered THE
THING IN summer millinery. With
very fancy afternoon frocks this
type of small hat has somewhat
replaced the big-brimmed picture
style, and with dinner dresses the
trend has become increasingly pop
ular. We looked at some recently
and must admit that they are most
attractive. One style we liked was
a turban made of wide grosgrain
ribbons, the ends of which cascaded
down the back. The entire crown
what there was of twas covered
with pink or white gardenias, and
we could just picture it with q
smart black dinner gown. Others
boast fruit and yelling and all are
perfect for those formal but not too
formal occasions when you dine and
dance on local terraces or roof gar
dens.
Big brims have attracted quite
a bit of attention in fashion centers,
but they still do not seem to click
as well as the smaller hats. OF
course, there are many sold, and
they are undoubtedly one of the
most fattering styles possible, but
we do believe that too many women
have found automobiles, doors and
sudden gusts of summer breeze a
bit trying on the large-hat situa-
ton. Be that as 1t may, If you are
considering big -brimmed hat, we
believe it worth all the trouble it
may involve.
Fabrics Do
Not Vary.
Fabrics do not change a great
deal IN summer millinery. Felts are
still being sold for sport wear, but
straw-especially the rough va
riety-remains the favorite. White
is by far the best seller in Wash
lngton, but we caution you to watch
the Importance of navy and black
in accessories-for it is big, even
with light costumes. There has also
been some report of homburgs, but
we've noted very few here. How
ever, trimming on all types of hats
is to be seen, and we will say that
it's very we'll done, with just enough
to keep us from looking overladen
and disgustingly warm.
When you boil down the whole
picture of summer millinery, these
things stand out as important:
Turbans, because they are smart,
comfortable and adaptable; white
because we find it the most refresh
ing; small brims because they are
convenient and easy to wear; flower
laden turbans because we all like
something new and novel and smart.
Hats off-or Onto the milliners
today. They've got something there.

Dorothy Dix Says
Men Stand the Gaff of Marriage
Much Better Than Their Wives

Do men stand the gaf of marriage
better than women do? Is it the
patient, devoted husband whom we
should venerate instead of the
patient, devoted wife we have been
weeping over and writing poems to
all these years? 1t would seem so,
for from the recently collected sta
tistics on the subject it appears
that women are the home -wreckers
who get two-thirds of the divorces
and that, as rule, husbands are far
more contented than wives.
This state Of affairs may be ex-
planned in a number of ways. It
may be gallantry that makes q meek
little shrimp of a husband let his
Amazonian wife charge him with
cruel and inhuman treatment in her
divorce petition. Or 1t may indicate
that wives are better wives than
husbands are husbands. Or that
men are more gifted pickers OF
mates than women are. Or that
men meet the wear and tear OF
matrimony as they do of life-with
more courage and philosophy than
women do.
OF course, the average hump
shouldered, middle-aged husband,
with his pockets bulging with un-
paid bills and a wholesome fear of
the little woman in his heart, doesn't
give the impression of one who is
finding domesticity a picnic. But
then you never can tell about the
inner reactions of people to any
situation. And we must give men
credit for this, that they seldom
complain Of their matrimonial woes,
If any. In which respect they differ
from women, who broadcast their
husband troubles to the world.
You rarely hear a husband discuss
his wife's faults and foibles, but at
hen parties their husbands peculiar
tiles and weaknesses provide the
chief topic of conversation for wives
who enjoy nothing so much as q
secret sorrow that they can tell to
all and sundry.
It cannot be doubted that there are
just as many men who are un-
happily married as there are wom-
en-: lust as manY men who are dis.
