Remember how lovely you felt
Easter morning with your hair
freshly fixed to compliment your
new Easter bonnet? Well, now that
Easter is over, do you still feel as
lovely? Or have you gone into an
after-Easter slump without know
ing why, or what you can do about
it?
The arrival of Easter means that
new fashions come definitely into
vogue-something that some Of us
are apt to forget once Easter Sun
day has past. It's the wise woman
who definitely uses that date TO put
her drab, dark winter clothes away
and blossom out with touches of
spring in her wardrobe. This usu-
ally means that the Easter nat you
bought was the beginning Of a new
fashion season for you. Chances
are that when you bought that hat
you had your hair fixed in Deeon-
ing hairdress, and that when your
beauty operator fixed it, you botn
were amazed at the havoc that win
ter weather had wrought. How
ever, she probably fixed 1t up to
look presentable for Easter, while
you solennly resolved to yourself
that "just as soon as Easter was
over" you would really do some
thing about that drab, dull look Of
your hair. Now Easter has come
and gone, and you want to keep
that spring feeling you had Easter
morning-and prevent that after
Easter let-down," Let's see what
must be done.
Why not go into this rejuvenating
process head" first? Because
you're partial to pretty things and
because the men in your life prefer
YOU dainty and feminine, you prob
ably chose one of the many styles
of smart and flattering little" hats
that are destined for popularity this
season. These hats, of course, mean
one thing-your hair must always
be at its best because you'll show

Substitutes Used
For Silk Hosiery

N7HEN the source of our silk
w supply was cut last summer,
it was necessary for women who
had been used to wearing silk hos
iery to try other fbres. The hosiery
industry has agreed to give the
government all aid possible in
the present emergency, and thus silk
ordinarily used for hose is being di-
verified to other purposes.
AlI-silk hosiery may be found in
stores up to the end of this year,
Bernice Bronner reports in the De-
cember Good Housekeeping maya
zine, but the chances are you have
already noticed some changes. Stock
ing legs may be silk but the top hens
or the feet or both may be cotton
or rayon.
Although there is possibility of
the return of silk, both these fabrics
are being used to make stockings,
Miss Bronner says, especially rayon
which she predicts will be widely
purchased. Special finishes for this
type hose have been developed and
these should add beauty and longer
life, improve snag resistance and
texture. New constructions for cot
ton hose as well have been invented.
Sheer, novelty designs and some
plain with fancy cleeks are among
them.
Because of the possible difficulty
of adapting any one type of stocking
to all-wear purposes, Miss Bronner
urges you to consider the times
when each type will serve you best.
For instance, the new rayons are
suitable for general wear, If your
costume is of the tweedy, tailored
type, the fine cotton meshes will
look good. For home, gardening,
driving, shopping, active sports, the
various weights in cotton will be
acceptable and economical. For
dress-up occasions, your choice will
probably be nylon or rayon.

more Of it than you have for some
time. This also means that If you
want to do yourself over" for the
season, you'll have to start with
plenty of special attention to your
GROWING glory.
Take a little time and so TO your
beauty operator for a real treat
ment! Remember, she is expert
enced and will recommend ways to
bring new beauty to your hair just
as your doctor would prescribe for
a rundown physical condition, Per-
haps your hair needs a deepening
of color or slight touching up to
change your whole appearance from
drab to sparkling. It's process
that takes little longer than a
shampoo, and there are time-tested
preparations available that are
most satisfactory. Let your beauty
operator give you the benefit of her
expert advice.
After the condition and coloTing
of your hair is taken care Of, you
can plan new couture to start you
on the path to glamour. Here you'll
have to consider three things.
Choose hair-do that is becoming,
one that goes well with the type Of
hats you are going to wear, and
one that will be practical and easy
to take care Of in the busy life you
lead.
But don't forget, you can't let
down on beauty for a single mo-
ment. It's part Of your duty as d
woman to plan for, and keep look.

M. W.: Right now I am in need
of your kind assistance. Ny hus-
band and I have been married
about three years and we were get
ting along fine. He met a woman
with lot of money and he fell for
her. 1 love him so hard and want
to get him back home.
Ans: Give him enough rope and
he will hang himself before he gets
through with her. Talking and
pleading with him wouldn't do any
good. Fact is, don't let him know
you are too concerned about his
being gone. He's weakening now,
else he wouldn't insist on calling
you on the phone so regularly.
Your mans getting fed up with his
bargain. Sit tight and watch him
come dragging in like a lost chick
en- some evening very soon.
M. C. R.: I haven't seen my
father in six years. I have a dar-
ling stepmother and a sister ten
years old. 1 would like to go to live
with them. Would it be best to go
there or remain where I am?
Ans: A temporary change would
prove very pleasant. Your step
mother has her hands full looking
out for your sister and herself . .
if you want to visit with her for
the summer you must find work
when you get there. Your aunt has
been like a mother to you these
past six years, now that you are
out of school and able to work,
don't leave her permanently. Spend
your time between the two of them.
D. B.: Shall I continue to go
with the Mexican, he is not the
type of man for me but yet there
is something that keeps me from
quitting him. I want to settle down
and be a good wife to some man.
What should I do?
Ans: If you do not intend to
mean anything in the life of the
man you mentioned, do not con-
tinue to string him along. He's
been too kind and cOnsiderate for
you to take advantage of him. AS
long as you let him mOnOpOlize all
of your time, you won't be able to
meet other fellows. Therefore
spend less time with him and try
to encourage the new friend you
have just met.

about my renters. A man and his

wife rent from me, he has a good
job making good money. Why is
it that she pays me a little dab at
time and never pays me up?
Ans: She knows you will let
her get by with it and she doesn't
make any effort to pay the rent
as it falls due. Places for rent
are scarce around your district.
Tell your renters that you expect
your rent on time in the future or
you will have to get renters in
your place who can pay their rent.
A good scare is all they need to
make them pay up.
C. B.: Pm madly in love with a
young man have been going with
for six months. Gosh, but he's
pretty swell looking. Has a good
job, and tries to be somebody.
Everytime I get around him I
want to tell him how much love
him, sometimes I do. If I try to
kiss him, he will push me away.
Last night when he was here I
Rugged him and he grabbed me and
kissed me too. He said "you're
so d sweet" and left me stand
ing there. What can do to make
him take me more seriously?
Ans: You've done enough .
he knows just how you feel for he
is experiencing the same jittery
feeling you are but he is wise
enough to handle the situation as
it should be. Don't push the boy
too fast save those kisses and
warm affectiOnate embraces until
after you visit the preacher. You
have that boy running around in
a daze it won't be long before
you have him for your very own.
C. w.: I am in high school and
trying to finish my education. My
mother and father live in the coun-
try and I want them to move in
town where 1 can finish my train
ing. Tell me how to get them out
of the country?
Ans: They have no intention
whatever of moving to the city.
You and your people are dependent
upon the farm for your living and
they can't afford to pick up and
leave just to please you. Make
your arrangements to board in the
city with some reliable family I'M
til you finish your training. They
will readily agree to this idea.
