Beauty Tips

QUESTION: please tell me II
there is hair dye that can be used
Without first bleaching the hair.
"A Reader"
First Of all do not attempt to dye
your hair at home. Go to an expert.
If penetrating type of dye is used,
and this is generally more salts
factory, the hair must be "softened"
first, not bleached. If preparation
like true vegetable henna Is used,
this Is not necessary. OF course, II
you wish to dye your hair a lighter
shade, as is sometimes desirable
when the hair is thickly streaked
with gray, the hair requires a
bleaching treatment first SO you
will get uniform coloring. The new
growth requires retouching in the
same manner as the original hair
was dyed.
QUESTION. MY face Is fairly
good looking. although I am in my
Jorties. The thing that troubles me
most Is my eyelids Dhich hare be-
come dark In color and crinkly IN
appearance. Is there any tpdy to
correct this aging fault?
Mrs. v. T."
A good cream smoothed on the
lids at night should help this con-
dition. During the day you might
like to use one Of the unlimited eye
or Q little glycerine on
your lids. This gives them . sheen
and will help soften the skin.

THEY DINE IN LONG SLEEVES

Long sleeves are dining out
these nights. Miss Gloria Rel
singer, New York deb. recently
wore q chalk white gown with long
tight sleeves and q deep square,
neck. Her belt was OF silver SCI
quins and her wrap Of white fox.
At the same place was Miss
Patricia Suydam In red lace. Her
dress had q TERED skirt and deep
V-neckline.

smith or driving a delivery truck.
He means 1t when he says that he
will do anything.
This is very painful to David's
parents. They have their hearts set
on making a professional man Of
some sort out of him. no matter how
long 1t may take or how much It
may cost. The mother, who was q
school teacher, and the father, who
Is dentist with a good practice,
are deeply disappointed and even
ashamed Of the youths refusal to
continue his education. Naturally
they are doing everything in their
power to dissuade him. which only
makes him more headstrong.
It is not unusual for q youth OF
nineteen or even older to be In
doubt over q vocation. Only when
he has some rare or outstanding
ability Is 1t possible for a child to
know all along what he Is going to
be.
II David's parents were wise, they
would agree to let him experiment
with a job In the immediate future.
He must find out what his abilities
are, something which home and
school failed to do for him up to
now. After having his fling. he may
even decide to go back to school and
study to be an engineer or teacher.
But In any case. the parents must
remember that he has to live his
own life, and they should help him
realize his goal even though it may
differ from their ambitions for him.
Every young child should be en-
couraged to have hobbies. It Is only
through taking UP various occupa-
tions that he, and his parents too.
can gain an insight Of the direction
in which his real abilities lie.

Wage Control Held

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Mrs. Frank

wage control seemed unfair and
might be regarded as involuntary
bondage"
Declaring in sponsored broad

while prices are rising, hearings on
the emergency price control bill
were being held in 'leisurely fash
ion" the Presidents wife said:
There is naturally an appeal
made when prices are controlled to
control wages, but it seems unfair
on the whole. The 18th amendment
makes many people doubt
whether doing so might not be in
certain instances classed as invol-
untary bondage.
1T would seem better, perhaps. to
protect the worker from rising
cost of living not only through con-
troll of price on foodStuffs but
through some kind of rental con-
troll, and then appeal to his demo-
cratic patriotism for a voluntary
stabili2ation agreement. arrived at
