The straw-hatted head goes color
full, so say latest reports from the
powers-that-be. Most of the new
summer models are woven of rare
native rushes, South American in
origin, and others are done in palms
and grasses. All have a range of
natural color from mellow tan to
deep cocoanut browns.
Some of them have been dyed
with native juices. as we'll. Even the
traditional bleached white panama
takes on a new hue with an essence
extracted south of the Rio Grande
from the bark and shells of the
walnut. Loks well and harmonizes
with summer costumes. Good idea
is the use of light sand or cream
colored puggree bands on dark
brown straws. Colorful trims on
bigger brimmed hats are recon-
mended for casual outfits, sport
togs and the like.
OF course, the experts hasten to
add. there's still nothing more

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman


Faces often are youthful in con-
tour but old in lines about the eyes.
The finer the complexion, and the
more animated the woman. the more
carefully she must guard against
the onslaught Of these little enemies.
Often squirting is the reason for
the formation of these little lines.
II you squint a great deal, see an
oculist and ask him if you are sub
ject TO eye strain. Some authorities
claim that the light shining through
thin eyelids makes you Squint when
you sleep, and that Lhis causes crows
feet.
If you feel that this might be true,
buy one of the black eye covers to
use when you sleep in the daytime
People with light-colored eyes are
most likely to need dark glasses
when going into the glaring sun.
Dark glasses are safeguard against
squirting for blond and brunei alike.
Wear them whenever you go out
into the summer glare.
Eye pads may not do things for
the eyes directly, but they cid indi-
rectly and give the eyes more
sparkle. They help you to complete
relaxation and rest. and they are
refreshing. Dampen them with iced
boric solution, witch hazel or face
tonic.
Whenever you are reading or do
ing close work, stop at intervals and
look far into the distance. Then
close your eyes and put your hands
over them so they have a rest from
light and work.
Be careful not to souint when you
are worried or tense or excited.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Sweet Temper Is the Greatest
Asset Woman Can Possess

What is woman's greatest charm?
A group Of Girl Scouts are debating
that important subject, and they
ask me for my opinion on it. Well,
my vote goes first, last and all the
time for amiability. A sweet tenn
per. Being easy to get along with.
OF course, there are other attrac-
tions more spectacular and alluring
ct first sight, but for good. re-
liable conjure that never fails to
work on all sorts and conditions of
people. and whose potency never
wears out, there is nothing that
equals good nature II beats even
beauty. for good looks depend upon
sweet disposition. 1t avails a
woman nothing to have a willowy
figure. peaches -and-cream COM
pleXion, violet eyes and classical
profile if her expression is cross and
sulky or if her eyes are as cold as
ice and her mouth is distorted by
sneer. No woman looks pretty TO us
If she doesn't also look pleasant.
Intelligence is another great charm
in woman. We are attracted TO
the woman with keen and alert
mind who has studied and read and
who is a witty and entertaining
conversationalist We admire the
woman who has understanding and
who catches everything We say at
the half word and whose wisecracks
keep a dinner table in a roar.
But intelligence is also dependent
upon good nature for its drawing
power. For just as there are no
women so courted and so admired
and so beloved as are those who
are sweet as we'll as wise, so there
are no women who are so feared
and dreaded as those whose clever
ness is stepped in gall and who are
as cruel as they are witty.
We admire women for their de-
votion, for their unselfishness. for
the sacrifices they make for others,
but even goodness has to be cou-
pied with good nature before 1t
sells itself to US, and, alas, there
are so many peevish and fretful
saints.
So in the end We come back to
good nature as woman's greatest
charm and one that endures to the
last. Beauty at its best is feeting.
Often we feel like turning our eyes
away when we behold the ravages
that time has made in living pic
ture, but the woman who is sweet
and amiable looks good to us, no

Let Father

Him From Life
With Youngster
shape OF stars.
By Leffice Lee Street,

-
Love of children is not an exclu-
sive feminine trait by any means.
Some fathers have more Of a feel
ing of devotion and responsibility
toward their children than the
mothers. 1t is a rare man who is
without pride, ambition and deep
affection for his sons and daughters.
The father should be regarded in
his true light as a loving and need
ed influence in his baby's life, and
not as just the person who pays the
bills. The baby is as much his as
the mothers.
An understanding wife can ap-
preciate the hurt that a sensitive
man would suffer if he is not al
lowed a share of the duties and
playtimes of the baby whose ar
rival he has gladly welcomed and
guarded.
When a man comes home from
work at night he should see his
baby if he wants to. The infants S
daily routine can be adjusted 10
allow for the time without harm.
If a father is permitted to be with
his children when they are babies
and toddlers, he will understand
them better and consequently can
help guide them wisely and SYM
pathetically when they are older.
If a father hints, or comes right
out and asks if he can help in car
ing for the baby, by all means let
him. Egg him on! Some mothers
are so overmeticulous they do not
trust a man with the delicate ham
ding of a young child. But remem-
Der the most delicate of the world S
work is accomplished more skill
fully by men than by women. such
as surgery. the fashioning of intri-
cate jewelry and countless other
exacting problems OF professions
and trades.
Bv the time the baby is 2 years
Did he can be expected to realize
that there are other people in the
world besides himself, and to begin
to find out that his actions must
be acceptable to these people. He
learns very rapidly from all he sees
and hears.
If he is equally influenced by
both parents he has more chance
of laying the foundations for a
nrooer cociol attitude
A happy home means happy chill
dren, so be on your guard lest its
most important member. your hus-
band, is made to feel disconsolate
by being left out of the fun of
bringing up your babies. There are
many ways in which you can show
him that you are not the only one
who needs and wants him, but that
his children do, too.

matter how old she grows or how
her complexion fades or her eyes
dull.
We may tire of the brilliant
woman, but none of us ever weary
Of listening to the kindly, good
natured woman who says pleasant
things TO us: who tells us how be-
coming our new hat is. who listens
sympathetically 10 our tales of woe
and who is interested in all the
little things that concern us.
Her discourse may not be high
browed, nor worth broadcasting
She may not have profound
philosophy to give TO us, but never
theless We go away from her
soothed and comforted, feeling
somehow that God is in His heaven
and all is right with the world just
because He put such women in it..
We seldom hear of husband for
saking wife who is good-natured
and jolly and easy to get along
with, who laughs at his shortcom-
ings instead of lecturing him about
them and in whom he isn't afraid
to confide when ne does a fool
thing. She may be neither clever,
nor beautiful. nor yet a good cook
or manager. but she has a charm
that outweighs them all and that
keeps him tied fast to her apron
strings.
And so I say that amiability is a
woman's greatest attraction. With
out it all the other arts and graces
are but tinkling brass and sounding
cymbals. They depend on good ma
ture for their chief lure, but good
nature will suffice of itself alone.
Whatever other qualities they lack.
we are still attracted to those who
are always pleasant and agreeable
and easy to live with.

volume is really a laundering ency-
clopedia, and deserves a prominent
place on the household bookshelf
Eleanor Ahern. who is laundry re-
search expert and adviser to one of
the country'S biggest soap manu-
facturers, lecturer and writer on
home laundering, and a consultant
to home economic teachers and
home specialists, has covered every
phase of the weekly wash from
a study of the fibers that make up
the different fabrics, to practical
designs for placing laundry equip
ment. In her book you can find the
answer to why that silky summer
dress that was really an acetate
material looked as if it had been
waxed after it was ironed; why the
color ran in those embroidered nit
tens AFTER they had been squeezed
out and set to dry: what bleaching
agents may be used with safety

efforts to keep the family belongings
