Youthful Hair.Dos
For Square and
Round Faces
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

II you are a young thing and
went to one of the best hair stylists
in New York City for a new cutting
and setting, he would advise Sim
plicity" He would also advise you
to have only the ends of your hair
permanently curled rather than the
entire length of your hair. Young
hair should be permitted to have
its full growth before you begin to
destroy its strength through fire.
quent permanents and many set
tings under hot dryers.
One hairdresser said, please, Miss
Lindsay, caution your young read
ers that correct care of their hair
while they are young means lasting
hair beauty. The old-fashioned ad-
vice of brushing well every day still
holds good. And hair sets better if
it is shampooed, dried by hand and
brushed well the day before. That
allows time for the natural oil to
creep down the entire length of the
hair and gives it natural glossy
manageable texture"
This sensible stylist also believes
in occasional oil treatments which
you may give yourself at home if
you cannot afford salon treatments
He understands, too, how Miss Six
teen desires every once in while

Then she should put her head in the
hands of an operator who under
stands coif1ures in relation to face
shapes. A hair-do which looks well
with a square face is not becoming
to a girl with an oval face.
A square face may be heightened
by parting the hair on one side
and brushing top curls to where
the hair is thickest and having one
break the forehead line. Side hair
is drawn up above the top of the
ear and fastened by tiny comb or
by bobby pins which are cleverly
hidden. The back hair is brushed
down into a mass Of soft curls which
fill in the space behind your ears
and gives you pretty neckline
When you have your hair set re-
quest your hairdresser to twist your
hair into thick, sculptured curls
rather than in tight, tiny ringlets
which tend to be frizzy when combed
out.
Now for a charming coiffure with
a dash Of sophistication for the girl
with an oval face. The hair Is set
in smooth pompadour fashion and
held In place with a long, thin comb
or curved barret. The ends of the
soft curls are combed forward to
conceal the barret. Side hair is then
brushed away from the face, but not
high, and held by invisible hairpins.
The back hair is brushed toward
the ears and t1uffed to give the illu-
sion Of more width to the narrow
chin line. If you wear this coif-

and you might pin a real flower

Dorothy Dix Says >>~
Sick Woman's Morbid Fancies
Can Wreck a Whole Family

Dear Miss Dix: Can a home re-
main healthy for children when
the mother discovers she no longer
loves her husband and longs to be
relieved of her duty as a wife? We
have two lovely little boys who have
become my whole life, but I am
afraid to face the future time when
they will no longer cling to me, but
go their own ways as men. I want
to do what is right, yet long to have
the courage to tell my true feelings
to my husband. Could we be sep
arated from each other yet continue
to live in the same house and still
maintain a Christian and stable at
mosphere for our youngsters to
breathe? We have been married
five years. I am "a. My husband is
20. I am in poor health. RUTH.
Answer-If you can possibly man.
age it. leave your husband and
children for a few months and go to
some good hospital where you can
not only be treated for what ails
you, but also have a chance to let
time and distance give you clearer
perspective on your domestic diff
culties than you have now.
You are sick and nervous and in
no condition, mentally or physical
ly, to make a decision that will af-
feet so many lives. You have BROOD
ed over your attitude toward your
husband until you have become
morbid on the subject, and because
you are not as thrilnngly and ro-
mantically in love with him as you
were when you married him you
have decided that you no longer
care for him. Why, that happens to
almost every married couple in the
world. When they settle down to
the give and take of married life
and find that they no longer have
palpitations of the heart at the
sound of each others footsteps they
have wild moment of panic in
which they think they have ceased
to love each other. Sometimes ii

Remember that plenty Of fresh,
green vegetables, fruits and milk
are nourishing and tempting, while
still light and easily assimilated.
The best cure for that holiday food
hangover" is a diet that makes much
of these foods, and cuts out the
heavier meats, pastries, puddings,
and so on.
SUNDAY DINNER MENU.
Mired fresh fruit salad.
Frankturter rolls tOith cheese.
Sliced tomatoes.
String beans 1Dith shoestrino carrots.
Floating Island.
Coffee.
MIXED FRESH FRUIT SALAD.
Choose any fruits YOU wish-a
combination Of seedless grapes, pine
apple cubes, avocado balls and
orange or grapefruit segments is
refreshing. Have the fruit thor
oughly chilled and serve it in lettuce
cups, with your favorite French
dressing to which a dash of nutmeg
and marjoram and a "a teaspoon
chervil have been added. 1t also
improves this dressing if lemon juice
is used instead of vinegar. Chopped
mint may be sprinkled over each
portion of salad.
FRANKFURTER ROLLS WITH
CHEESE.
Sliced bread.
Frankfurters.
Quick melting cheese.
Butter.
Remove crust from the desired
number of bread slices. Spread one
side with quick-melting cheese and
wrap this around a frankfurter,
plain side out. Fasten in place with
skewers or toothpicks Brush out
side of each with butter and broil
slowly until bread is evenly Drowned
and frankfurters are thoroughly
heated Serve hot. If you wish, the
toasted frankfurter rolls may be
made with plain buttered bread and
served with a cheese sauce. Salt
the tomatoes lightly, but do not use
any dressing with them.

the mailbox-but Mother has had 1t
right along for the last three weeks.
A short, sharp session with the
checkbook may be mighty painful
but it's the long, hard pull that
gets Mother. And we know that
she is welcoming the return to rou-
tine, the quiet of the house while
the children are at school and the
chance to catch her breath, do some
cleaning and lunch on toast and tea
in coZy solitude!
Food has become nightmare
during the holidays. There are usu-
ally so many people to feed, so many
meals to plan-that the bare men
ton of eating is enough to sour the
soul of any housewife. So we're sug-
gesting that for the next week or so
you put the household on light ra-
tions-it will be good for them, as
well as a poultice for the budget
and your own disposition!
The markets are well equipped
to answer these simpler needs. The
rush for luxury articles is over with
the food dealers, too, and they can
90 back to such humdrum things as
turnips and caulifloWer. Just by way
of keeping up the morale, however.
they do offer, in some instances,
such delicacieS as strawberries and
wee bundles of fresh asparagus,
wrapped in cellophane. But their
heart isn't in it. They'd much pre-
fer to discuss the merits of a head
of cabbage!
Pork and lamb are still tops in
the meat line. They are fine in
quality and very low in price. Beef
steaks, too, are being featured at
attractive prices in number OF
markets-this is good news to the
woman whose family is satiated with
large roasts and would like less
heavy, but tasty cut of meat. There
are frog legs to be found-light and
delicate; fish should be especially
appealing for the next few days as
sharp and agreeable contrast to
the holiday meats. Include chicken
in your menus-perhaps a boiled
fowl with rice would please the fam
lily. Count on cheese dishes to sup
ply your protein. Eggs, too, are in
expensive and can be used in so
many ways as delicious main dishes.
Keep all meals as light and differ
ent" as you can; abandon the reg
ular courses and try out some new
lineup. Instead of soup, start with
a salad, as is done so much in the
West; follow this with a cheese
souffle, perhaps, or an omelet, with
two green vegetables; end with a
fruit compete, or a jelly. 1t may
not sound like much-but you will
find it entirely adequate and a real
aid to the digestion after the heavier
meals we have all been having.

Experiences
Gained by
Camp Life
Especially Good
For City.Bred
Youngsters
BY ANGELO PATRI.


For many years now I have
wanted to find a way to send all
children who wanted to 60 to camp
for two months to enjoy their wish
to the full. Children must learn
to live by gathering experiences in
living. Their experiences, especially
in city flats, are bound to be limited.
There is no room for children in
these homes. Mothers are glad
when the hour comes for them to go
to school, or out on the streets to
play.
The years of their growing
learning time are slipping away
and they have to find their way
by this arid route of school, home,
street. They need to learn how 1t
feels to waken in the morning with
the responsibility for the days living
resting on their shoulders. That
responsibility is welcomed gladly
when along with it is the opportu-
nifty for exercising it.
Last year one of the woman COM
missioners of education in our city
undertook to send some groups of
children to camp and some of those
in our school were among the lucky
ones to 60. They came back with
new light in their eyes, a new spring
in their steps, a new vision of life.
They lived in small groups, with
a counselor-guide. They helped set
up their shelter, they cooked, clean
ed, worked and played in the woods
far from any of their accustomed
conveniences and they grew In grace
and understanding.
1t is a fine thing for any child to
waken In the woods with the wood
smells about them, the sounds of
singing birds, running water, wind
swept branches in their ears. To
race with the group to the shore
and swim in the soft, cool water
and then race back to dress and get
ready for work. Cooking bacon on
campfire, setting the table under
the pines, eating breakfast in COM
pany with children of unknown
tastes, new opinions, new ways,
starts the day with enough Joy to
carry over until sunset and even
song.
The children gained in health.
Their weight was correct. They
walked with a freer stride and an
easier grace. Physically they were
greatly improved. But something
rarer they had found in that life
in the woods. They had found a
refreshed and re-created spirit.
They had learned the beauty of
human relationships while they
worked, played and adventured to-
gether.
Each cook had a chance to cook
her favorite dish and serve 1t. I
cooked spaghetti and everybody
liked it except Minna. So I didn't
cook 1t again. I did q pot roast
because she liked that and every
body else, too; II learned how to
help in the kitchen. I was glad to
have the girls help me. So many
potatoes I'd have to peel. But they
all helped. Now I know how my
mother feels. I give her a hand
with the vegetables" There are lit
tie things, but they show values that
are priceless.
Camp is a way Of life especially
beneficent In its effects on city chill
dren. If they can possibly get there,
send them.
For help In training your chill
dren to behave when visiting or
being visited, consult Angelo Pa
tri's booklet "The Child and
Other People," which considers
this and other problems Of .
child's social adjustment. Send
for it, inclosing 10 cents In coin.

they are passing through the phase
of development in which the love
of lovers turns into the friendship
Of friendships, which is the best
thing that any human being ever
knows.
Just how morbid you have become
you can judge by the fact that you
are already worrying over your
babies leaving you when they be-
come men. That is at least 20
years Oh, so 1t doesn't seem worth
while to borrow trouble so far in adj

you will want them to be men and
go about the business Of life for
themselves.
Your plan of being separated from
your husband yet living in the same
house and keeping up a pretense
of harmony to fool the children
is fantastic. 1t can't be done
because children are so keen
that they sense every shade
of feeling between their par
ents. But one thing you can do,
even if you are not romantically in
love with your husband any longer
You can be a good wife and mother
and make a comfortable home You
can do your duty, even if it isn't
wreathed with roses.
But again I urge you to consult
