Bv Nell Giles.

Since 1900 long before you
were born there have been
precious few hair styles that have
made history, compared with the
number of dress styles that bring
a lump in your fathers throat.
There was the rat, which was
nothing more than another way to
make money out of the Chinese.
Your mother wore rats fore and aft,
to build up fine outstanding pile
of hair upon which to set her tur-
ban or her "Gainsborough pieplate. !"
After the first World War, or
rather after Irene Castle, your
mother had the fapper bob to show
that she was daring and didn't care
what she did, and that she had little
time left for doing up long roll
of hair
Whizzing up through the years
to your time was Lynn Fontanne
in idiots Delight" wearing a wig
designed especially for her and
christened the page boy. You might
still be wearing your hair this way
unless Ginger Rogers has persuaded
you to make it half and half with
the next great hair style-the up
sweep.
On a very enormously chic and
very young women the up-sweep
gave certain soft charm to the
back of the neck and the sharp
planes of the face. But to every
one it adds years and in few cases
with grace. The up-sweep, there
fore, died a most natural death,
as do all fashions which call more
attention to the fashion than to
the person wearing It.
Evening star., 1941-01-17

A very becoming style is COM
promise . longer hair in back
an up-sweep on the sides and curls
on top. This is the general sill
houette of the head and is more
likely to remain in fashion for sew
eral wears because 1t makes women
look prettier.
Texture, color and style are the
three things about your hair that
make people want to touch it.
Texture actually means fine,
coarse, limp or wiry . and these
are qualities your hair is born with
and there is little you can do to
change them.
1t is impossible to say fine hair
is best" or coarse hair is
best" because while fine hair is
actually nicer to the touch, it is
the despair of the hairdreSser. 1t is
"millionaire's hair" and requires
twice the care. But there is some
thing to do about dryness or oil
iness, which affect the appearance
of the texture.
Dry hair is caused from inactive
oil glands at the roots of the hair,
from lack of rest and from improper
diet. Try this for month and

Dorothy Dix Says go
Third of All Divorce Cases Are
Traced to Mothers.in.Law

have seen too many men who took
to drink after they were separated
from their wives and children, too
many crushed women who lost even
a support when they lost their hus-
bands; too many orphaned children
whose lives were being distorted be-
cause they had no secure place in
which to grow up straight and
strong. And these mothers love their
children and want them to be happy.
So why do they commit this crime
Of breaking up their homes against
them? The usual explanation given
is that they are motivated by
mother jealousy. They can't bear
for their children to love any one
better than they do themselves.
They can't bear for their children
to be more influenced by their hus-
bands and wives than they are by
them. They still want to dominate
their children's lives. No doubt this
is true, but one of my correspondents
has. think. gone farther than any
one else in solving the mother-in-
law problem. He says:
For Is years my mother -in-law
has made her home with us and
she has made herself so unpleasant
to live with that at times I felt
my cross was greater than I could
bear. She bosses me, tyrannizes
over my wife, tries to run our chill
dren, tells the cook how to do her
joo, and generally manages the
whole show.
The other day showed her your
article on CTen Commandments for
Mothers -in-Laws) and she said: I
don't see why you call my attention
to this. 1 never do any of these
things
And then I understood her. She
isn't vicious. She doesn't purpoSely
make us unhappy. She doesn't even
know that she does it. She can't be
reformed because she considers her.
self perfect. And as l love her
daughter so very much I have made
up my mind to let the old lady do
as she pleases, and quit worrying
over it. And that is the way I have
solved the mother-in-law problem. :"
And probably it is the only way
in which it can be solved.
DOROTHY DIX.

Recently judge in domestic re-
lations court said that third Of
all the divorce cases that came be-
fore him were directly attributa-
BILE to mother -in-law trouble. This
is an appalling statement, but my
own observation bears out the truth
in it. I get far more letters from
unhappy men and women whose
homes have been broken up by their
husbands or wives mothers than
from drink, or infidelity, or trif1ing-
ness, or all other causes combined.
I'VE were so happy and our home
was so peaceful until Mother came
to live with us. Now We are in a
perpetual turmoil. She picks on my
husband and criticizes the children.
and they resent it and everybody
is miserable"
MY husband used to love his
home. He never went out at night
unless he took me with him, but
now he puts on his hat as soon as
he has had his dinner and goes
downtown. He can't stand listening
all evening to Mother babble about
how little Johnny had the measles
10 years ago. I don't blame him.
could scream myself when she
starts on her "reminiscences"
my mother is a religious fanatic
and nags my husband to death about
his soul" My mother whines and
complains and argues until she sets
us crazy"
Or it is: My mother-in-law feels
that she has right to boss my
house and rear my children" MY
mother-in-law tries to prejudice my
husband against me- My mother
in-law is always pointing out my
faults to my husband. and telling
him that when she was a young
wife she didn't belong to bridge
clubs, nor go to matinees, nor have
more than one dress a season. She
stayed at home and took care of
her children and saved her hus-
bands money" Il love my husband
and wouldn't have left him if 1t
hadn't been for my mother-in-law,
but I couldn't stand being perse-
cuted by her any longer"
So these letters 60 by the thou
sands. Each one a heartbreak, each
one sodden with tears, each one
written from amidst the wreck Of
a home that has been blown up by
an old woman's meddling just as
surely as if she had put charge
of TINT under its doorstep.
And it makes you wonder why
they do it. for these women are good
women. They are no malevolent
fiends taking pleasure in inf1icting
cruelty on others. On the contrary,
they are Christian women who are
the pillars of the church and the
salt of the earth.
They are not inconsequent fools
who do not realize what misery
divorce can bring on family. They

Preventing
Excessive
Sunburn
Keep Skin Covered
With a Cream or
Lotion Product
By Patricia Lindsay.

Sunshine, according to we'll
known health authority, is highly
potent, but 1t can also be detri-
mental to both health and beauty
If not taken correctly.
Sunlight is not pure benehcence.
AS every one knows, it causes pain
full, blistering burns. The surest
way to avoid sunburn is to stay
out Of the sun when it too hot to
gradually acquire a coat of tan.
Tanning gives protection against
the ultraviolent rays which cause
the burn. The best means of get
ting tanned, painlessly, is by pro-
gressive dosage Other Things being
equal. a good sunburn preventative
will enable you TO stay out in the
sun two or three times as long. par
ticularly the first few days. as would
otherwise be deSirable-an obvious
advantage to city people with lin
tied vacations who do not have the
opportunity to acquire protection
through taking protective dosage.
This same authority lists three
types of sunburn preventatives
which playgirls of the Southland
should use:
ID Those that defect light or
act as mechanical barriers to turn
back the rays so they will not reach
the skin.
% Materials which convert the
character of the rays to render them
innocuous by altering their wave
lengths.
80 Products which exert an &C
ton on the skin itself, perhaps
hardening it, to make it less Sus-
ceptible to the rays-tanning agents
such as tannic acid.
We are told it might be prudent
to avoid products which claim they
allow tanning and at the same time
filter out the burn rays on the
other hand, products which act as
mechanical barriers may be sunburn
remedies as well.
All of which salts down to taking
the sun with your skin well covered
with sunburn cream or lotion pro-
duced by reliable cosmetic firm or
drug company.
