Strong Defense of the Cut System Letter From Reade
New Permanent Here
Uses No Heat at All

To some women a visit to the
dentist or a trip to the hospital is
positively a picnic compared to
the ordeal of having a permanent
wave. That, however, is because
they have not been initiated into
the wonders of q new permanent
now being introduced to WASH
ington.
Believe it or not, and this Is
really one for Ripley, the process
uses no heat on the head, no clamps.
wi1es or other bulky machinery
In fact, it bocemes a period Of
relaxation and rest, with no dis
comfort whatsoever.
Widely acclaimed on the West
Coast, this process uses a special
solution with phenomenal success.
Here's how it works, as shown to
us in a demonstration the other
day. Metal curriers', like the ones
you put your hair up on at night,
are placed on the head From 30
to so may be used, depending upon
the requirements. To each curler is
attached thin rubber hose, which
in turn is connected to bottle of
solution. You are placed in a re-
Ginning position-the same as for a
shampoo rubber cap is placed
over the head, and the solution is
pumped through the tiny hoses into
the curriers' and consequently into
the hair. The solution is recircu-
lated through the hair for from 3
to Is minutes, depending upon tex
ture and other considerations. All
this time, of course, there is no
pulling, no heat, no uncomfortable
position, no weight to speak of. and
the whole process is as simple as
having shampoo
Vital statistics on the perform
ance include the fact that only one
test curl is required This Is an
inflnitesimal lock of the hair which
Is clipped of the head, wrapped on
a special curler and dipped into the
solution, thus insuring Chat you
won't have a whole block Of hair
done up In test curls which may
not prove just right. Any length
or texture of hair can be success
fully waved, and results have been
especially good on fine hair. The
soft, natural effect will last as long
as any permanent you ever had.

grow up without a bite to eat, hop

Danger from ticks lies largely in
their bite, for the creature exudes
saliva as it digs in. So. If 1t happens

a feeding tick more ominous.
This is the reason that people are

ldSnlOnS UnaG make our present Gay
styles look like the paragon of all
things smart, becoming and eco
nomical. Just two decades ago,
women's clothes had about as much
streamlining as grandmaS anti
macassar-and just about as much
eye appeal. They were frightful,
with silhouette that we could only
term "baggy" and a lavishness Of
detailing that lost complete track of
what we like to think of today as
smart simplicity" Yet, in a few
ways, the styles of 1920, particularly
this same detailing, have been
moderated and adjusted to our needs
this year.
Attractive summer dresses were
expensive, and there were none of
the well turned out little $5.95 COT
tons that the girl of 1910 wears with
a complete feeling of well being.
Silk dresses for "only s3e" were
featured in such creations as
georgette crepe in beaded design.
One store advertised q splendid as

Fashions newest vogue is navy blue
or black taffeta with white organdy
trimming" Sound familiar?
Lace trimmed embroidered organdy
collar and cuff sets were frequently
advertised, and when we think of
the number of times that stylists
have advised this same formula for
freshening up tired dress, it's proof
enough of the eternal popularity of
the idea. Many dresses had panels.
pleated skirts with billowing effects,
colorful girdles, and basque, surplice
and flchu bodices. All terms that
we hear frequently in the descrip-

though, we will admit that the vari-
ations of these same trends would
make them completely unrecog-
nizable.

fellows who couldn't bring dates
would have to stay home, and still
more people would be unhappy. You
are right, of course, when you say
some stays are inconsiderate in one
way or another. But 'Oldsters'
example of the boy and girl who
had to 60 home to dance with each
other, is an exception.
"I'u grant that now and then it
Is hard to dance without constant
cutting, but that really isn't a Sc
rious matter. The youth of today
wants his pleasure. The formal
code Of yesterday has gone, and the
unprecedented cut-in fits in with
the spirit Of modern youth.
Difficult to Find.

Third, program dances don't
work very well At some of the
larger school dances I have attended
they have been tried, and have
Topped horribly The most obvious
reason is that on a large floor, with
q huge crowd. 1t is impossible to
find your next partner before the
music begins. If the orchestra
waits until everybody is ready, you
might as we'll stay home, for all
the dancing you get done.
"Of course, things could be
changed so that we had the system
used when program dances were
popular. But that would mean 60
ing back to old-fashioned ideas, and
youth won't do that. I realize that
some people want program dances,
but I think the majority would
rather stick to the cut-in because
it fits their temperament better.
Fourth, you mentioned that
under the cut-in system the girl
has nothing to say about her
partners. But the smart girl of
today does drop hints every now
and then. and they seem to work.

To keep her home sanitary and
her family we'll and comfortable
every housekeeper must be on guard
against the invasion of household
pests. When insects get into our
homes they are rot only disturbing
to our peace of mind, but it is now
a matter Of common knowledge
that they are a menace to our health
or destructive to our possessions. In
dlvidually, We may not be to blame
Tor an invasion Of these unwelcome
Wsitors-they may come from a
careless neighbor's house or be car
rled IN on a package. But we are
at fault If We do not keep them
under control, since we are living in
an age when effective means are
at hand for their eradication.
The struggle between man and
insects began long before the dawn
OF civilization and will continue. no
doubt, as long as the human race
endures. It is due to the fact that
both men and certain insect species
constantly want the same things at
the same time. We commonly think
OF ourselves as the lords and con-
querors OF nature, but insects had
thoroughly mastered their environ
ment and established themselves in
the world long before man began
the attempt. They had, conse-
quently, all the advantage of a DOS
session Of the field when the contest
began and by virtue OF their num-
bers alone still retain that advan-
tage.
In spite of these handicaps patient
scientists in biological laboratories
and large-scale field operations are
making great strides in insect con-
troll.
Because the common house f1y is
a universal household pest and is
easily raised in the laboratory it

a countess living in the country, who
threw open her garage for dancing,
when "the party began at two in

scribed as wearing colonial pink

young that loped by occasionally,

that adopted by fraternities and
sororities. Some one always sees
that all the girls have their share
of partners. II the boys know that
they won't be stuck they'll cut in
on the less popular girls and every
body will have good time.

whom they should dance. If they

Thanks, B. NJ, for an able de-
fense OF the cut-in system. You
haven't answered several of the
strong arguments against 1t, but II
most young people don't like pro-
gram dances, and II the cut-in ex-
presses the informal spirit Of modern
youth, then all the arguing in the
world won't change things.
However, we're still concerned
about the plight of all the girls who
never even get to dances, simply
because It's so easy and convenient
for the stays to have a good time
without them. We'd like to hear
from these girls, who are probably
the chief sufferers from the system.
AS for the floor manager plan, it
is excellent for small dances, such
as fraternity affairs, but it obviously
would be hard to work at a big
school prom. And your argument
against the program system for such
big dances is valid only because the
orchestra and the dancers aren't
accustomed to such an arrange
ment A slight change in the length
Of time the orchestra plays and. in
the interval between dances would
straighten out this difnculty.
