Yes, bathing caps are on the list
of things 1--WE will probably have to
do without" So periodically, we
must put u feminine ingenuity to
work to plan a summer of sun and
fun on the beach or at the pool
without using up vital war mater
ialS.
This means the same thing to us
who love to loll in the sun at the
waters edge as well as to those
who enjoy diving and speeding
through the cool, clear water .
we must all take extra care of our
hair so that it will be presentable
when we get outdoors.
After all, water itself is certainly
not harmful, even to the finest hair,
though we will admit that many
public pools do use harsh chemicals
not particularly beneficial. However,
even this shouldn't give you too
much grief if you use precautionary
measures on your hair before you

What precautions should you
take?
First -. please go to your beauty
operator regularly throughout the
summer months and let her check
the condition of your hair from time
to time to give it the necessary
treatment it needs to combat the
summing and swimming you are ex-
posing it to. There are many fine
products on the market that she will
recommend to keep it in tip top
shape. In fact, the cosmetic industry
realizes the devastating effects Of
summer sports on your hair and has
developed oils and shampoos that
will eliminate the worry Of dry and
falling hair. These preparations
must, Of course, be used regularly
to have the desired effect and to
keep that summer dryness from get

tied demurely over your head when
you are out for a long time . . it
keeps your hair from burning from
too much exposure.
Then, if you have even the slight
est touch of premature grayness in
your hair, you'll want to have spe-
cial attention given to that. The
summer sun is unkind to grazing
hair and your reflection in the
water is anything but lovely if you
have bold gray streaks on your
head.
In a bathing suit you are what
you are and nothing else. You can't
hide figure faults, nor can you cover
up a bad complexion with a lot Of
makeup. The same is true of your
hair the elaborate couture
which often helps hide grayness is
out of place on the beach.
So if you do have tell-tale streaks
in your hair, you'll want to have
them touched up before you go out.
For this, let your beauty operator
recommend a time-proven product
that is not affected by water. She
will help you make your hair look
its original loneliness at very little
expense to you.
Thus, with just a little care and
very little trouble on your part,
you can be sure that you will be
lovely and attractive all summer, no
matter where you are or how much
you get out in the open.
So do your part to take care of
your looks. Help the government by
not moaning and groaning because
Uncle Sam wants swimming cap

the government that the women Of
America al do without as easily
and cheerfully as the fighting men
overseas.

the development of the United
States from a weak pawn in the
chess game of international politics
to the leadership of one side in the

describes.
Even in more peaceful times,
much of the romantic atmosphere
the leis and the bands on the pier
playing Aloha Oe-was a Chamber
Of Commerce product designed for
the tourist trade. But the great
modern port at the crossroads Of
the Pacific needed no glamorizing.
Mr.. Gessler tells the story of the
bold Polynesian voyagers who sailed
eastward from island to island,
daring the vast unknown ocean in
their frail craft. He tells of the old
kingdom, of the great Kamahameha
and his weaker successors, of the
white men, sons of sea captains and
missionaries, who finally deposed
Queen Liliuokalani.
He tells of the exploits Of seafar-
ing men, of wrecks and piracy and
mutiny. murder and riots ashore.
And if he skins lightly, almost
apologetically, over the economic
domination of the islands by the
big Five" or the problem Of the
unassimilated Japanese minority,

Kismet, or fate, plays the domi-
nant role in this story. told in the
first person, of a young girls up
bringing in a noble household of i'm
perial Russia. Tamara VSevolod's
great grandmother. Dominica. was
gypsy, and the passionate ways of
the Romany tribes are depicted as
recurring in her descendants char
acter.
With strange admiXture Of
moving biographical narrative and
interpretive acuteness, Trina Skar-
latina tells the story of Tamaras
childhood, which occupies the most
important part of the book. The
gradual stages Of her development
toward maturity, interspersed with
such events as her running away to
join a workers parade and her
crush" on her history teacher, are a
combination of gay reminiscence and
the feminine counterpart of Have
lock Ellis confessions. Throughout
this psychological study of adoles-
cence, the unifying link is the strug-
gle between abe conservative and
dutiful part of Tamara's heredity
and her gypsy blood. The former
governs her choice of life, but the
later makes her miserable.
The last few chapters, dealing
with Tamara's disirusionment by
her unwise marriage with an alco-
holic and degenerate young officer,
are not so skillfully written. But the
climax of the novel, an account of
the birth of Tamara's child. is a
profound and possibly enduring
revelation of a woman's innermost
feelings. T. H.
