Are Never
The Same
BY DOROTHY DIX.

A famous critic says that women
are becoming standardized. What
nonsense! Not only are no two
women alike, but one woman is not
like herself at two different times.
Every woman changes her looks,
her age, her character and her
disposition as often as she does her
clothes. and that is why she is never
a safe bet. You can never tell what
she is going to be or do next. It
is ridiculous to talk about women
being standardized when the indi-
vidual changes so from time to
time that If you don't see q friend
for six months or 50 you are liable
not to recognize her when you meet
her. For when you parted with
dear Sally she may have been a
fat lady with q billowy figure and
triple chin, but when you encounter
her again she has become a slim
creature who Is q perfect 80. Or
she may have had sandy hair that
was straight as a poker and now
her face is framed in wavy locks
OF Titan red, and likely as not the
next time you see her she will have
changed into a brunette.
It is the same with vomen,s
characters. All of us have known
purttanical women who suddenly
tArned into racketeers and fire.
quenters Of night clubs and who
boasted Of getting drunk. We have
known domestic women, staid
mothers Of families, who, after walk
ing the collie for 20 years, faced about
and went mad over having wild
times.
We have known the reverse Of
this. Fool women who in some
crisis acted like Solomon himself;
wild women who settled down into
being the sheet anchors Of their
homes. Extravagant women who
turned into dime-nursers and
penny-pinchers.
1t doesn't do . man q bit Of good
to decide beforehand that what
he wants In wife is an old-fash-
1oned girl, or = home loving girl,
or q girl who Is 4 good cook, or 4
thrifty girl, or . girl who knows
how to make her own clothes.
Nor does it profit him to pass up
as a wife the girl who is gay and
frivolous, or the girl who dances
holes In her slippers, or the girl
who dresses like 4 fashion plate.
Likely as not the girl who has had
q wild time is tired of dancing and
wants to settle down, while the
girl who has never had = chance
to step out can't get enough Of
running about, and never wants to
stay at home.
There you are. Every man is
not married to one woman, but q
hundred women, and he never
knows which one Is going to meet
him when he comes home. Which,
perhaps, explains Why msu under.

Accelerator.
Unfortunately, however, all the
community's leading citizens were
also going to the tournament, and
We passed most Of them with great
speed and very little ceremony.
Naturally, Papa heard all about this,
with exceedingly unpleasant results.
If you simply must indulge this
love for speed, try to show more
sense than we did. Maybe you actu-
ally can learn to do your flying in
q plane, where increasing the speed
doesn't increase the danger. II you
can't do that, at least have some
consideration for your fellow pas
sengers and for other motorists.
Your life may mean nothing to you,
but they undoubtedly feel differently
about theirs. So do your demon
driving alone, and on a deserted
road.
Speeding Car Can Be
A Deadly Weapon.
Every Sunday and Monday morn
ing you can pick up any newspaper
and read where some carload of
young people has cracked up, dis
tributing themselves all over the
landscape. In many Of these cases
the driver was entirely to blame.
Others in the group may have real
lied they were going too fast. Per-
haps they protested and were un-
needed; perhaps they kept quiet
rather than be accused of being
"sissies." In either event, they are
equally dead.
Unless you're unquestionably
mental case, you wouldn't pick up
a loaded revolver and point it wildly
at your friends or at people you met
on the street. Yet automobiles kill
thousands more people every year
than do firearms.

greatest queen of all time-the
American woman.
One of those accidental BRAIN
storms occurred the other day when
we were shopping for Fathers Day
gifts. Noticing the rubber-lined,
Upper closed leather tobacco
pouches, we decided that they would
make wonderful purse kits for cos
metics. And so, by gosh, they do!
No button closing to come off. no
danger of spilling out, and they

one OF our better cosmetic nrmS
has originated a gay new summer
makeup that is packaged in novel
manner. The lipstick looks like a
red and white candy cane, while
the round compact has swirls of
red and white that make it look
like a large and delicious cinnamon
drop. Both are ideal with bright
summer togs and, what is even more
important, the color Of the npstick
is perfect-a bright, flashing red
with just enough pink in it to cor
respond with pastels as well as bril-
liant shades.
Speaking Of stripes, the other day
We saw one Of the smartest little
kits also in red and white stripes
to help you continue your strictly
feminine attire. However, you can
get this in a variety of color COM
binations. The item is about the
size of q makeup kit for your
purse, but it holds instead all the
fingernail aids you'll need for a
weekend jaunt. Roomy enough to
also hold your npstick and probably
q few odds and ends such as a pow
der puff, rouge. handkerchief and
mad money" this new item is per-
feet for trips to the beach and for
travelling, when you must consider
the problem of getting all your
clothes into your luggage. It's Of
fabric, of course, inexpensive and

beauty equipment line.
One of the most interesting dis
cussions about perfume that we
have heard originated from the old
est perfume firm in existence. They
are wise enough to know that wom-
en- love to keep secret the name Of
the perfume they are wearing and
like to feel that the chosen aroma
Is = part Of their own distinctive
charm. Many women have told
this firm that they want a perfume
that will reflect their own PERSONAL
tiles, no matter what mood or dis
position they may have at the mo-
ment. A pretty big order-but the
creators Of fine products have filled
It.
A new aroma has been imported,
and, If the word Of this department
is any criterion, it certainly is every
thing that women could desire of q
perfume. Light without being in
ane, pungent without being over
towering, long lasting without "hit-
ting you in the face" it is to us one
OF the most outstanding fragrances
we've discovered in a long while.

imagine a lovelier gift for 4 debu-
tante, graduate or bride-for it

/ It's interesting to know, too, that
the originators of this fragrance
have been creating excellent per-
fumes for 165 years. OF French
origin, their first perfume shop,
known as ''The Sign of the Basket
of Flowers" is said to have been
frequented by Marie Antoinette, Ma
poleon, Du Barry, Louis XIV and
XVI and was also gathering place
for ladies and gentlemen of distinc-
tion.

Don't Mix Alcohol
With Gasoline.
AS for the young muddle-wits
who mix alcohol with gasoline,
they're probably beyond hope. The
only thing you can do Is to protect
yourself against their criminal folly
as best you can. Don't 60 out with
fellow who drinks and drives. If
you are already out with him when
he starts drinking find some other
way to get home or insist that some
one else drive the car.
There's not much you can do to
protect yourself against the other
driver who has been drinking-as
We know after being practically
plowed under by a drunk three
years ago. apparently your only
protection against that sort of anna
teur criminal Is to keep of the
streets and highways where he is
most likely to operate.
OF course we realize that the lame
Drained and reckless automobile
drivers aren't all young. But statis-
tics show that motorists in their
teens and twenties have far more
than their share of accidents. Now,
youngsters are naturally better driv-
ers technically than the middle
aged or elderly, so the explanation
is evident. They just don't think!
The next time you feel like prov
ing your courage or acting smart
by driving too fast just remember
that there's nothing either cour-
ageous or smart about q murderer.

Nj a n n e r S
OF the
Mo m e n t

If your date stumbles over words,
and gropes around for phrases when
he is telling you some exciting de-
tail of a book he has read, don't
start offering him missing words
and phrases. Pretty soon, he'll give
up talking entirely.
If he says, And then they came
up to the place where the horses
are taken before they go out on
the race course" it's not up to you
to say, The paddock, I think you
mean" unless he asks you.
After all, you can't expect him
to enjoy constant coaching. If you
persist in it, one of three things
will happen. He'll become entirely
dependent on you to complete his
stories for him and will have to
have you with him whenever he tries
to utter sentence-which will
become impractical. Or he will stop
talking entirely, leaving all talking
to you, which will become lonesome
Or he will leave you for a girl who
likes to hear him stumble over his
words, which will become even more
lonesome.
If you like the lad, listen eagerly
to his halting English, and try to
get the sense of it if there is any.
