Modern Coifures
Must Have More
Than One Part
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Two or more partings on every
head, the return of the French Roll,
quaint little girl partings straight
down the back of the head, and high
favor of the old fashioned pompa-
dour, are all predictions for coiffure
supremacy throughout the winter.
Partings which emphasize the
more alluring curves of a lovely
head will be the keynote to chic
halr arrangements. If the back of
your heaG is good. then you'll want
a part down the middle of the back.
with the hair drawn to either side
and caught by velvet bows or bar
rets. and rolled into smooth sleek
buns. Then you will wea- a direc-
tional part from your forehead to
crown, and its slant will be the most
becoming one to the shape of your
face.
Vertical schoolgirl curls across the
back OF the head, with the side and
front hair drawn up sleekly into
pompadour, is another fetching style
for the face that is not too old. It
requires compromise between
chlldishness and sophistication to
wear this extreme style so do not
ADOPT 1t If you are house frau" or
past your twenty fifth birthday!
The French roll. so beloved of the
first World War bellies, has returned
for smooth and high coiffures. It
Will contrast with a mass of soft
curls above the forehead. Girls with
long hair may have as many as four
French rolls at the nape of the neck.
The front is worn in soft feath-
cry bang and the side hair is twisted
into sleek side roll with the ends
brough low and rolled into the
highest bun. Long bobby pins hold
these thick rolls securely in place
One may wear flowers in place of
the ornamental combs.
The dark horse in this seasons
halr styles is the little braid. Some
times 1t trails down the side of the
head from center parting in place
OF cluster of curls, or it falls down
the back in place of a parting. If
you have thick luxurious hair. here
is your chance to indulge in a be-
gulllng new fashion-especially if
you have shoulder length bob and
40 not wish to cut your hair shorter.
Here are few general rules for
hair arrangement:
Have your hair cut no longer than
1our inches all over the head It
may be as short as two inches. if vo,,
prefer. These ends must be ner-
manented If your hair is not nat,,-
rally curly.
Always have your hair shaped and
cut before our permanent wave-not
after you get It,
Shine is the first requisite to
pretty head. Brushing from fifty to
one hundred times a day helps Won
to preserve it.
Learn to dress your hair in several
diHerent arrangements. If it is cut
properly this can be done.
Long hair may be arranged as be.
comingly as short hair. But select
your stylist carefully.

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Don't Glorify Children Too Much,
For It Gives Them False Ideas

Thus we have always with us the
"also rams" who never got any,
where because they are never willing
to 60 the pace for which thy are
gated by nature. They think
they are Derby winners when they
are only dark horses. They are
always out of work because they
expect to start out as bank presi-
dents. They are old maids because
they expected to make brilliant
marriages and no Fairy Prince came
down their ally. Or they are peevish,
fretful, discontented wives who look
down on their husbands and think
they condescended to marry the
poor dubs who supports them. The
unappreciated geniuses. the failures
who have never found any job to
fit their telents, the women who are
always wailing about not being
understood are virtually all the
result of having been taught to
think more highly of themselves
than they should when they were
children. DOROTHY DIX.

ASensibleList
On Serving
Good Form Must
Be Considered
At All Times
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: I hope you will
print the answers to my list of
questions. I honestly believe all of
them would be of interest to some
of your readers.
l. When serving without help, or
with an extra maid who sometimes
comes in to cook, is it permissible
to use a tea wagon?
Answer: Whenever practical, serv-
ice should, of course, be considered
from the angle of good form, which
takes special note of etiquette. But
II one maid going to serve IL or
IA people, then the use of a tea
wagon would be obvious, since it
would be impossible for one person
to carry so many plates from
kitchen to table and back again one
at time
2. Do bouillon cups have one ham
die. or two, as cream soup cups?
Answer: They have two handles.
3. May bouillon, or other soup
without solids, be eaten with a
spoon, or is it supposed simply to
be tasted and cooled with the spoon
and then all of it drunk? In other
words. is it bad manners to use a
spoon for the entire cupful?
Answer: The whole cupful can be
eaten with the spoon. OF course.
you may exasperate those who are
waiting for you to finish, but,
further than slowness, there is no
rule against slipping it to the last
drop.
4. When serving soup at the table
from a tureen, does the hostess have
stack of soup plates and stack
OF plates to stand the soup plates on
before passing them?
Answer: No, she Just has a stack
OF soup plates. The other plates are
either at the places or none are
used.
,. Should the meat platter and
the vegetable serving dishes be re-
moved from the table after the host
mas finished carving and nerving
or left where they are in case any
one wants a second serving?
Answer: They are left where thev
are, unless they can be taken back
to the kitchen and kept hot on the
range and then passed by the maid
later. Ideally, if the meal is short
and the family's appetites are sub
stantlal, two dishes of each item
are prepared and fresh ones put
on in place of those which were in
this case removed at once.
8. May tray be used to remove
salts and peppers and unused silver
when the table is cleared for des-
sert?
Answer: Not may be, but must be!
There is no other way to remove
them.
Z: Are butter plates supposed to
be left on the table after the meat
course If there is to be salad next
served with cheese and crackers? :
Answer: They are left on until
the table is cleared for dessert
Iaklng them off is what clearing"
means.
8. If dessert is served in the
kitchen, as it is if small-stemmed
glass dishes are used, how is the
dessert silver brought to the table?
answer: The. glass is put on a
ooliy and the dolly is put on plate,
ana the spoon is put at the side of
the glass on the dolly.
y. When are goblets better than
tumblers, and vice versa?
answer: A goblet is considered bv
many to be more formal than a
tumbler, but actually they are inter-
cnangeable and their selection a
matter of individual taste.

Manners
Of the
Moment

Perhaps it's just surplus energy
that makes the younger generation
such -slamming crowd. But
it would be nice if they'd take it
out on a basket ball rather than
on the doors.
During most of the week the rest
of us have to listen to door slam
ming only during the late after
Moons and evenings. But on week
ends merely the thought of all-day
door slamming is enough to give us
case of jitters.
Maybe the only way is to take
weeks complete rest and then
face the music through the rest OF
the time, armed with some sedative
powders.
But little cooperation from
the younger set wouldn't come
amiss. Couldn't you, my dears, try
to close the door quietly once out
of every four times at least? That
would help, you know. JEAN.

Answer-Theatrical gauze, the
very sheer, inexpensive linen gauze,
would be most appropriate with your
picked pine. You might use full
side draperies Of these which would
give you the soft effect, and If you
use light shade such as pale yellow
it will tend to increase the light
rather than absorb it. Finish the
curtains very simply with plain
hens or wool embroidery around
the edges, and I think you will have
a very interesting effect.

1t Is without doubt benevolent
provision of nature that makes every
old hen think she has hatchd out a
swan. Otherwise there would be a
marked decline in the population.
For most of us would be drowned
at birth If our mothers got clear,
unbiased view of us. They would
not think us worth the trouble of
raising.
Nevertheless. this ability of every
mother to see future President
of the United States or the wife
of a millionaire in her common
place little babies has its tragic as
well as its comic and sentimental
aspects. For it raises great expec-
tations that can never be realized. 1t
fills the world with embittered men
and women who have failed to
achieve either happiness or success
because they were always reaching
for the stars, while a street lamp
was their limit.
All of us know parents whose sole
topic of conversation is the wonder
full brllliance of their children. John
is a mathematical shark who some
day will be a great engineer. Mary
has Metropolitan voice. Tom is
born orator who will be a SPELL
binder when he goes into politics.
Sally is such beauty that people
turn to look at her on the street.
And We marvel that even fatuous
fathers and mothers can see these
shining qualities in their dull and
homely offspring. If the matter
ended in parents getting kick out
of believing that they had begotten
statesmen and trust magnates and
Miss Americas We might smile at
their delusion and think it a COM
pensation for all the work and
trouble of rearing a family. But
that isn't the end. 1t ends in the
pitiful sacrifice of both parents and
children to an illusion of grandeur.
Perhaps the chief harm that this
glorification of child does is to
initiate its ego and make it esteem
itself superior to every one else.
Home f1attery is the most potent brew
that ever was concocted. and the
boy and girl who have been drugged
on that from their infancy up never
wake up enough to see themselves
as they really are and to estimate
their real abilities.
