Hot Under Collar?
By Eveiyn Hayes

"Hot under the collar describes
our feelings many of these hot days
and we're not implying that we are
in perpetual peeve. It's just We olde
heat, and the fact that the neck is
one Of the first places anybody feels
the heat. That's why it's a good idea
to cool the back of your neck If you
want to lower YOU. personal Fahren-
heit. ~
One good way to beat the heat is
to take those pretty curls and pile
them on top Of your head. Fortu-
nately for those who worry about
such things, the really new chic
coiffures are also the smartest this
year. What they may lack in a kind
Of pretty pretty fattery they more
than make up in their cool, sleek
look.
There's plethora of pretty hair
dos to choose from without resort
ing to that Zulu number of a couple
of seasons ago-i.e., combing all your
hair to the top of your head with a
mass OF curls, rIngleCs or just plain
frizz sticking out in front Why

the center of the back, combing each
section away from the part toward
the ear where you secure it with
combs? Then brush the front hair
up, turning the ends under to form
a roll and to cover the back hair
ends. To look right the roll must be
full and If yours seem bit sparse
or lies too close to the head, back
comb (viz: rat or tease) the hair
underneath, and then brush it
smooth over the top before turning
the ends under, fastening same with
pins.
Or YOU might want to essay this
coiffure which you've admired in the
| fashion magazines. Skin your hair
up sleekly to the crown of your
head, first having combed and
brushed it thoroughly so that it's
absolutely snarl-free Secure it that
way with a piece of dark string or
narrow ribbon that won't show
against your hair. OF course you can
use rubber bands, but they tend to
break the hair and there's no point
in that. Next, tie ribbon over the

easily, remove the whole amount to
a large sheet Of waxed paper. Pull
out into strips, much as you would
for molasses taffy, and cut with the
scissors into conyenient-sizedp pieces.
Wrap each in waxed paper and if
weather is warm and the candy
tends to become sticky keep in the
refrigerator; but otherwise, it usu-
ally keeps a more chevy consistency
if left out OF the refrigerator. The
secret of the chewiness, much like
caramels, is the peanut butter. If
you make it a few times, you will
soon get the knack and it will come
out neither too hard nor too soft.
This can be used as an icing for
cake in these sugarless times-or
for cookies also. Cocoa or choco-
late can be added for variety if
liked. If maple sirup is available,
it can be used in place of part of
the molaSses or in addition. Con-
sidering the amount of iron and
other minerals in the molasses as
well as the proteins of the peanut
butter, this should prove more
healthful for the youngsters than
the white sugar candies which have
almost no mineral content.

ends fall to the back streaner- wise.
Carefully comb all the hair ends

then spreading them into a bun or
fan on top Of your head. Finally.
fasten all ends securely. Do this
stunt with ribbons to accent your
costume. Very effective.
Here's seaworthy coiffure for
the bathing beauties who want to
swim sans caps and want to be as
decorative as they are dripping
when they emerge from the hriny
deep. First, part and section the
hair from the crown straight down
to the nape of your neck. Don't

sure to lock the ENDS of the 'braids
with a piece of string or rubber
band to prevent unraveling; else
youll literally get caught with your
hair down. At this point, part your
front hair leither on the, side or in
the CENTER and bring it, straight
back, pinnipg the ends under the
braid. Finally, to insure your coIo-
net against drifting" anchor the
braids securely with bobby pins. or
bone hairpins. For specially neat;
sleek job, secure the sides of the
braids, too The trick for aquatics
is to brush and brilliantine your
hair before you dive in. Then before
you dress, rinse your hair and re-
brush and rebrilliantine back into
shape. There's a good solidifled
brilliantine, non-greasy and deli
cately scented, that they say works
like a charm.
More than ever in the summer

bility depends in great measure on
your shampoo routine. We've heard
good reports of liquid shampoo

it soft and easily manageable. Halt

It's just not worth the struggle if
your hair is less than luStrouS.

MOTORING WITH CHILD;

From Mrs. X. L. McC., Arlington
To Mrs. L. M. N, Washington:
While we haven't had actual expert
ence yet, my husband I plan to leave
for Southern California with our 2
year-old daughter about July Is,
and have been gathering ideas for
the comfort of the trip. The level
play area suggested for the rear Of
the car was also on our list. I have
decided to take as many garments
of seersucker, /. e., sunsuits and
pinafores, as possible, since they will
require no ironing or very simple
pressing. I am also taking at least
one package of disposable diapers
to alternate with the training pants.

which have come on the market in
the past few weeks. These are much
superior to the old rubber ones.
NV pediatrician has advised me
to stick to my child's favorite foods
for the trip-she Is still on the
strained baby foods. Since 1T viii
not be possible to prepare the
scraped steak for her, I'm taking a
bottle of well-known beef extract
with iron added (this last to substi-
tute for the egg yolk which she
would ordinarily get each day In
her milk. Another source OF iron
in lieu of the egg yolk is raisins.
These can be washed and put in

eating them like candy. am going

u understand Is excellent when a
small child has to be put to bed
suddenly in a "growpup' bed.
I have enjoyed the RICH so very
much and hope find a similar
service in a newspaper in California.
Now, If I haven't already con-
sumed more than the space al
lotted to one contributor, may an
swer query which ! read about
a week ago? Some one inquired
about a remedy for sickness in
starch. A few shavings from cake
of yellow soap dropped in imme-
diately after the boiling water is
poured in will do the trick. Also
there Is commercial product which
is extremely inexpensive and easy
to use and does even more for starch
than just keep 1t from sticking. If
the interested person will phone me,
I'll be glad to give her the name,
since I understand brand names
are banned from these columns.
Please phone Immediately because

From Mrs. w. L. B., Washington.)
In answer to Mrs. L. M. MS re-
quest for suggestions for her trip
to California. While I have never
driven as far as California, in our
prewar trips, my husband and I
found that when driving with a
child it was much easier to travel
at night. I would suggest that they
make a bed as comfortable as pos
sible for the child in the back of the
car (using the crib mattress on top
of suit cases. and start about 9
o'clock in the evening. Drive
through the night (when it Is much
cooler and there is much less traf-
fic) and stop about 7 or 8 in the
morning. After breakfast together,
the one who has been doing most
of the driving would go to bed and
sleep until around 2 in the after
noon. In the meantime the other
one would exercise the child, give
him or her luncheon and get him
down for the nap. When the child
awoke, the one who slept all morn
ing would take the child for walk,
ETC., with the morning "exerciser"
sleeping. About 8 all would take
dinner and start off.
While the adults would not get
quite their full quota of sleep un-
der this arrangement, I feel that
this would be compensated for by
maps during the night and lack of
nervous strain.
Any one who has Travelled with a
212 -year-old child knows that the
most thoughtful planning cannot
prevent crossness and boredom after
a time.
