Oil Is Used as
Remedy for
Dry Hair
Steady Treatment
COunteracts Any
'FrizZv' Look
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Even the best hairdressers will
tell you that there is no certainty how
hair will react to a permanent wave.
Your head might be one of those
exceptions which comes out from the
waving process in dry frizz-it can
happen to any one! But fortunately
such a mishap may be righted
through proper treatment.
Oil, and more oil, is the remedy
for hair that is too dry and frizzy
At least once a week apply hot olive
oil to your scalp with absorbent cot
ton by parting the hair systematical-
ly. Then take some of the heated
oil in each palm and rub the frizzed
ends with both hands. Tie up your
hair in a cap, or wear loose shower
cap, to allow the oil to soak the
hair overnight.
The next morning you should rinse
your head in cold water before soap
ing. Then draw basin of quite hot
water and shampoo your head with
a liquid soap. Rinse it with clear
warm water and repeat the soapings
three times. After the last soaping
rinse your hair very thoroughly.
You will find that after even three
soapings little Of the olive oil
clings to your hair-which is good
Brush your hair dry in the sunshine
if possible with a clean brush) and
allow three or four hours to elapse
before you set your hair or go to
the hairdresser to have it set. Then
give it a second good brushing and
massage the scalp with your finger
tips to encourage the natural oil.
1t is imperative that you do not
use prepared shampoo that is too
astringent or too stripping. If you
are in doubt about which to use buy
a bar of the best CASTLE soap, shave
it into a quart jar with a screw cap
and melt it with hot water. This
should serve you for at least six
thorough shampoos.
If you feel you need some dressing
for your hair, when you set it,
experiment with one of those pomade
hair creams which may be applied
when the hair is wet or brushed
onto dry hair after it has been set
I suggest that you have your hair
set with water only and the day
after apply little of pomade hair
dressing by brushing 1t on. Take a
minimum amount of the cream on
a finger tip and rub it over the
bristles of your brush. Then brush
your hair. just very little bit
should be sufficient to add a gloss
to your hair and to make it appear
less dry.
If you have not the time for the
treatment suggested above, you
should resort to one of the recon-
ditioning oils, which may be applied
heated to the scalp and hair, and
then steamed by a machine for
10 or IS minutes while you are in

Worry No More Over the Very Difficult Problem Masculine
BY DOROTHY MURRAY.


An excellent gift for the travelling
man is a pigskin case for carrying
ties. 1t has upper fastening and
the interior is fitted with a swing
ing hanger. This case could also
be hung on the closet door and used
daily. -.
Another fine case for travelling is
one for holding handkerchiefs. This
Is square in size, is fitted with a
upper fastening and comes in many
kinds of leather to match your
travelling set.
Speaking of cases, there are
several the women folk of the house
will just "oh" and "ah" over on
Christmas morning. For instance
one is canvas aerOplane case with
washable finish that is beautifully
lined in striped material. Then
there is the rawhide luggage that
is among the finest in appearance,
style and service. In this materia,
one can secure fitted overnight
cases, as well as wardrobe hange<
cases.
An expensive but necessary article
for the kitchen is an electric auto
matte portable mixer. The set con-
sists of the portable mixing unit,
the base, large and small bowls and
fruit juice extractor. The necessary
equipment for the extractor is also
included in the set price and con-
sists Of juice bowl, strainer, pres
sure lever and an Oil dropper with
which to prepare dressing for
salads.

and smart bracelets. It would take
hours to 60 into detail in describ-
ing all of the various styles, but

particular fancy include a perfume

with small place on its back that
| resembles spot in which one may
retain ones favorite perfume; a
bracelet that twists around ones
wrist in the fashion of a snake and
has crystal ends, one containing
| clear-faced watch. You must agree
that this does sound interesting and
different"
A semi tubular shoe rack made of
steel and finished with baked chip
proof enamel will hold seven pairs
| of shoes. 1t is built low to give
extra space in the closet, but wide
enough so that it will not tip over.
1t comes in several colors to match
your closet fittings. A thought just
came to us that maybe We all ought
to look into our closets, take stock
of our shoe supply, decide which
pairs we need to keep and which
ones we could very easily do with
out. Then, don't you think it would
be good idea to give these to one
of the less fortunate persons about
whom we read every day?

Attendance in
Very
Unbroken Rhythm
Sets Good Habit
For Children
By ANGELO PATRI.

The short, dark days OF winter
do not draw children into the open
for work or play. They are slower
in their movements, more inclined
to sleep late. sit about the house
and get along with as little effort
as possible. If they can skip school
attendance for a day they seem to
be elated. Winter has that effect
on them and unless the teachers and
parents are on the alert to combat
the sluggishness it will get the best
of the youngsters and school attend
ance will fall off.
Regular attendance at school Is
highly important to the children.
They need the steady rhythm of
daily living that school sets. To be
on time they must rise at a regular
hour, eat breakfast at the set time,
start for school by the clock, work
according to schedule for the school
day and home again. That regular
ity sets a rhythm of action in their
bodies. and they need it for growth
and health and comfort of body and
mind.
When the rhythm is broken and
the child stays out of school for
even one day he is as uncomfort-
able as a fish out of water. He
trifles about the house going from
room to room, from window to win
dow, getting in everybody's way and
complaining that they are in his
way. Discomfort fills his soul and
he is hard to live with Everybody
is glad when he gets off to school
next day.
That lost day is costly. The
rhythm of his growth is broken. 1t
will take days to catch up the ends
and get back into it again and, in
the meantime, the child has lost
step with his class. He has missed
points here and there and there are
holes in the fabric of his learning
that can never be filled.
Children grow in rhythms. These
are set first by the forces within
their bodies, then by the regular,
punctual practice of work. The reg
ularity and the punctuality have
much to do with the steady growth
of child's mind and body and they
are to be interrupted only in grave
emergency. Illness and accident, re-
ligious observances must be allowed
for whenever necessary, but beyond
such happenings school attendance
should be sacred. Writing a note
does not mend matters. 1t only
checks on the absence without in
any way erasing its effects.
Regular school attendance becomes
a habit. Some children never think
of staying home on school days be-
cause they have never done so.
Habit carries them along even when
they do not feel as fit as usual. Duty
and action and the familiar things
of the school are so much a part of
them that they go along with the
clock. These pupils are rarely left
back and are often found in the top
quarter of their group.
Keep sick children at home until
they are fully recovered, but keep
the healthy ones attending regularly
and punctually in spite of weather,
faint-heartedness or personal con-
Venience.

Have you seen the new Christmas
gift boxes for men? Some of them
are really good looking and make
swell gifts if there is a flock of men
down the Office who have to re-
ceive some tiding of cheer from
you, the boss.
For instance, there's one tan
leatherette box for travelling which
can be used long after the shaving
aids inside have disappeared. 1t
looks like fine leather and has
that expensive appearance that
doesn't follow through with the price
tag.
Most of these sets contain tooth
paste, lather shave cream, brush
less shave cream, after-shave To-
ton and tale. Needless to say, all
are typically masculine items that are
as practical as they are good look
ing. There are several styles
of this popular priced merchandise
and they're all sure-fre successes
for Christmas giving.
If you've been wondering why
you pay more to have that camelS
hair overcoat cleaned. the explana-
ton is that such coats require a
delicate process to turn them out
looking almost new instead OF like
something great-grandpa willed you.
Takes about 25 to 40 minutes to
steam one of these sporty jobs after
it has been cleaned and spotted. ..
Steaming brings up the nap of the
fabric and lays it in one direction
which is the only way it looks and
feels right.
The only reason we've brought up
the whole thing is that we want you
to take your good coat to reputable
cleaner and not be surprised if he
charges little more than you an
ticipated. It'll be worth it in the
long run,

talking, and perhaps considerable
dancing. Unless you're sure you
can find decent radio music during
these hours-favorites of the child
soaring and news-analyzing experts
you'd better rely on records.
There's probably a store in your
town or neighborhood that rents
both the dance discs and the ma
chine to play them, in case you have
none of your own.
Any games you use should be of
the short and slightly mad variety
which can be started and stopped
quickly. We suggested some good
ones for last New Year eve, which
we'll be glad to send you. If you
have a ping-pong table in the rum
pus room encourage the guests to
drift down there. You might also set
up darts game, that faithful stand
by of English pubs and air raid shell
ters. Or just let the boys run little
Willie's electric train and try out
his new ring toss game-if you can
bribe little Willie to cooperate.
Since eating much too much food,
of appalling richness. is an accepted
Yuletide custom among the younger
set, you will do them a favor if you
don't tempt them too far with your
refreshments. We'd suggest setting
up the dining room table with a big
fruit centerpiece or small deco
rated Christmas tree. f7anked at one
end by a pitcher of hot chocolate
and cups and saucers, and at the
other end by a bowl of punch or
hot spiced cider, with glasses.
In between, you can set out plates
of Christmas cookies and thin slices
of fruit cake and dishes of salted
nuts. For the guests who stay late
and obviously expect to make your
refreshments take the place Of din
ner, 1t might be a good idea to have
on hand some turkey sandwiches,
kept in reserve until the strategic
moment for producing them.
We think you'll find this type of
party is easy to give. and lot OF
fun. People will accept invitations
for it which they might have to re-
fuse if your affair occupied an en-
tire evening And you can pay of
a lot of party debts, because at a
gathering like this it's the more the
merrier.
Now let us tell you what other
ideas we have available for your
holiday entertaining. Our "Six Sue
cessful Parties" booklet contains
complete plans for a fun-with-gifts
party, good at any time during the
Yuletide season. 1t also outlines a
clock party for New Year Eve. as

occasion parties and general sug-

Also, "Our Favorite Party Games

Desk ornaments make delightfully."-
impersonal and strictly impressive
gifts for the gentleman. Book ends
to suggest his hobby or profession
are available in all price ranges;
desk sets including pens, inkwell
and often clocks, are very good look
ing in onyx. A different" gift is
the solid bronze sheath holding
scissors and letter opener. 1t makes
a most attractive addition to his
Office. Masculine stationery is per-
feet and if he does a great deal
of travelling, there are completely
equipped writing kits which take
UP almost no room at all, yet hold
everything from stamps to unan-
swered letters.
Portable radios appeal to the gen.
tlerlen jitter-bugs, especially those
radios which are tiny enough to
hold in one hand and which start
to play when the front is opened.
These may be initiated, too. ANY,
thing to further his hobby, whether
it is stamp collecting or shooting
big game is safe choice. If he
strenuously objects to military brush
sets, as so many men do, settle for
a leather shaving kit containing all
the essentials. It's topped by an
easy-to-read clock, is compactly de-
signed and Upper fastened.
If he has "wrinkled necktie trou-
ble," try one of the new restoring
gedgets which rejuvenates old, tired
neckties in about thirty seconds. It's
composed of fat blade like broad
carving knife which is slipped inside
the tie and fits perfectly. Then the
electric cord on the presser is
plugged into a socket Git works on
either currenD and the presser is
allowed to remain in the tie for
about 30 seconds. 1t operates per-
fectly on ties of every fabric and is
one of the most practical and in
genious ideas for that little gift"
The shops are simply full of smart
ideas for masculine gift-giving. You
can even choose a hat, pay for it
and present miniature in tiny
box on Christmas morning. Then,
''he" can go down and select the
real style later on, for the miniature
hat box holds a gift certificate as
well as a tiny version of the head
gear he will find. It's clever
thought on the part OF some Of our
best manufacturers.
