TheWages Of Sun
By Evelyn Hayes

case, you simply stretch out on the
beach and let the sun and sand do
its stun. To repair the damage
it's up to you to stand up and do
your stun.
Yes, we said stand up because al
most the first motion you should
make after you get back to town Is
to reach for q hairbrush. And the
best way to brush your tresses Is
to stand up, bending from the
waist so your head drops forward
said od-balance gesture intended
to rush the circulation to your
crown and its glory. In the case
of sunburned hair, brushing not
only stimulates the circulation but
also helps to stir up ye natural oils.
Another thing-if you've been neg
ligent about welding the brush
la good brushing bout will sweep
out the sand that has managed to
cling to your skull. If you doubt US,
wait until you see the sandstorm
you stir up once you start brushing.
Next step In pampering your pate
Is an oil shampoo to restore the oil
that old man Sol has drawn out. II
you have more energy than time
and money at the moment you can
do it yourself. Start by heating the
oil different from burning the mid
night ditto. Any good mineral oil
will do, although we prefer q special
reconditioning oil that you can buy
In town. Rub 1t well into your scalp
with cotton, parting on small sec
tions Of hair at q time. Comb 1t out
through your hair and then wrap
your head in hot towel for q few
minutes tthe heat to be applied to
the towel via immersion in hot
water and wringing OUT. This hot
oil application is so relaxing you
may have to be prodded to continue.
Anyway after few minutes of soak
ing in, wash the hair thoroughly
with = plain good soap like CASTLE,
taking extra care to rinse 1t out
carefully.
OF course, If you want q super job
and you need it after q stay at the
beach-you should treat yourself to
a reconditioning oil shampoo at one
of the local salons which has made
a Nationwide reputation for itself
because Of its good headwork. So
well do they do their job that you'll
leave there feeling atingle and
aglow, your hair a mass Of lustrous
loneliness. OF course, as we said,
you can buy the reconditioning oil
and give yourself a workout. How
ever, the big advantage Of having
your hair done professionally-at
least until it gets back into shape
Is that the operators massaging and
brushing OF yeur hair supplies stim-
ulation to your scalp that would be
hard for you to achieve unless you
were double -jointed and tireless.

Emily Post Advises

Not often-but it does occasionally
happen-we are made surprisingly
aware of some one who seems to
have no idea that there is q war on.
The following letter. for example,
reveals that this woman has moth
ing more serious to worry about
than that her friends do not come
to see her as they once did. In fact,
her letter says:
I'm beginning to feel very neg
lected and hurt because my many
friends who used to come to see me
regularly hardly ever darken my
door,"
OF course, If the writer of this
letter is a "shut-in" invalid, then
her being left very long alone is
UNDERSTANDABLE dispiriting. But If
she is an able-bodied person it is
hard to imagine how she herself has
been living with so much time on
her hands. In the first case, couldn't
she perhaps start a workroom in
her house? In the second, she can
certainly find plenty of companion
ship and work to do at the nearest
Red Cross workroom. Even at home

In return for many helpful sup-
gestions and splendid recipes NAV I
offer one of my favorite recipes for
branded peaches, in answer to q
request. =.
Select firm unblemiA1ed peaches,
peel and place in layers in jar or
crock. Cover each layer with sugar
flling all crevices between peaches.
When jar is full, place plate inside
on top of peaches, weight it, cover
jar to keep out dust and let stand
overnight.
Next morning peaches will have

sirup will be present. Add more
peaches and sugar to refill lar. Re-
peat for a week or until, after stand
ing overnight, jar remains full. Gov
er and do not seal for 6 weeks. Keep
peaches submerged in sirup at all
times and put crock in pan, for sirup
will run over. Do not expose to ex-
treneS of heat and cold and remove
any scum which forms on surface
After 6 weeks, seal with layer of
hot paraffin directly on peaches and
store in cool place. Or place peaches
IN glass jars, fill jars with sirup and
seal. Use as a relish with hot or
cold meats.
Although I do not believe this is
what the writer had in mind, fol-

As our co-workers and friends
have returned all glowing and
golden from their summer vacations
we've buttonholed them to find out
what beauty aids they felt they
needed first as they prepared to
go back to work. To a girl, they
said, Something for my hair-I
can't do thing with It," As one
friend explained it. II always have
such fun on my vacation, I never
want to waste precious time taking
care of my hair"
Not only do the gals often over
look their regular shampoos and
brushings but, even worse, they ex-
pose their poor sca1ps to the scar
ing summer sun with the result
their hair usually acquires both the
color and dryness of straw, which
may be all right for a scarecrow
but is most disconcerting when you
try to shape your unmanageable
mop into the semblance OF q slick,
smooth coiffure.
To be sure, the road back to hair
beauty isn't as easy or as much
fun as the downward sunlit path
to dry hair, but at least you should
be glad to know that the damage
isn't irreparable. In the former

Dear Mrs. Post: I am q doctors

what would be the solution to this
problem? We could afford to pay
and ours is not q war situation. ]
add these facts in case they would
have any bearing on your answer.
Answer-It is a long-established
rule that one physician never sends
a bill to another physician. But II

be willing to accept a War Bond
since 1t will be made out in his
