WhyGrowOld?
Question Box
By Josephine LoWma,.

!. I'm announcing your new ques-
ton department for Friday you did
not mention whether your men read
ers were to be allowed an occasional
one. A lady barber said that most
men part their hair too low down.
I have noticed that lot of BARRIERS
will do this unless checked. Do you
agree that it does look better parted
somewhat higher?"
Answer am glad to have ques-
tions from men readers. Where the
hair should be parted for the most
becoming effect depends on the
shape of the mans head and his
features. If his face is rather
round a part that is too low would
be unbecoming. 1t should be near
the top Of the head or combed back
in a pompadour. If a man has a
very long, lean face the hair should
be plastered down on top and he
could stand a part lower on the
temples.
2. Some one has claimed that
cutting the hair too short is cause
Of badness and produced evidence
pictures of olden days when mems
hair was left longer. Is there any
thing to this2"
Answer-It may be that very short
hair leads to badness because it re-
quires so little brushing to keep II
in place. A man should keep his
hair long enough to brush it well
and should massage and brush just
as a woman does If he hopes to keep
q good head of hair.
8. How can I permanently re-
move hair from the upper lip?"
Answer-If the hair is very fine
and there is lot Of it the best
method for removal is cosmetic wax
However, this is not permanent
The only way to remove 1t perma-
nently is with electrolysis. You
can tighten it by frequent applica-
tions of peroxide.
4. Where can 1 buy cocoa but
ter?"
Answer-At virtually any drug
store.
S. What are some exercises to re-
duce the ankles and shape the legs?'
Answer-For general contour this
is q fine exercise. Stand erect and
place the hands on the hips. Step
forward with the right foot. Bend
both knees until the left knee is
almost to' hing the floor. Now
straighten the legs and step for
ward with the left foot. Bend the
knees until the right knee almost
touches the floor. Continue STEP
ping and bending. Heels are lifted
off floor throughout the exercise.
Make large circles with the foot
one direction until tired and then
in the other.
6. What can I do to slim my
waist?"
Answer-There are many exer-
cises. Stretching ones are good
Kneel on both knees and raise the
arms over the head. Stretch up as
high as you can, feeling the pull
of the muscles.
