WOMAN’S PAGE Fashion Influence of British Prince BY WARY MARSHALL ‘There are unmistakable marks of the Prince of Wales in the mascu- line mode of the land. Your prep school boy will never be quite the same again—at least so “far as the shape of his trouser legs is concerned, the contour of his soft felt hat, or the color of his collar. Too bad there wasn't a princess along with as much genuine pep and magnetism as the prince. We might have ex- perienced some interesting develgp- ments in women's clothe well. But the prince’s visit was not with- out some influence in the matter of women’s clothes. And merchants here and there tried to take ad- vantage of a bit of free advertising by offering coats of the sort of fabric used by the prince or something of that sort. One clever milliner went 8o far a to make the cre of three plumes, ated with a Prince of Wa we are told was first worn by the Black Prince goodness knows how many hundred years —a prince with as much perso as the Prince of Wales of ‘today— but a prince who never lived to rule + England. Some one ought some day to write a history of the ostrich plume. From early times men have hunted this giant bird for his feathers and have used _them for their own adornment. In England and France men seem once to have appropriated the entire supply. The kright in armeor did not feel completely dressed without a plume or so bowinz and bobbing from the top of his helniet, and there was one period they used to we n enormous bunch of them at the@h: of the helmet so that they fell and floated backward and downward nearly to the knight's waist. But now the ostrich the exclu- sive property of women, and the ap- peal of this graceful plumage is as strong as ever it was.

Or else she writes 1 r a tear-stained letter in which she pours out her woes, and mother gets a picture of John firmly fixed in her mind as a close-fisted brute, who takes a de t in torturing her dngel child. And she hates John accordingly. In the meantime Mabel has forgotten all about her accusations against Jonn. She loves him and he loves her, and in her heart she knows that in their quarrels she is just as much to blame as he So they kiss and make up and all would be well if only Mabel hadn't told mother about it. So every time that John complain But the thought of Mabel’s martyrdom rankles in mother's mind. She magnifies John's every weakness into a terrible sin. She throws a sinister light on his every shortcoming and she either reduces Mabel to a pulp of self-pity by her sympathy, or clse eggs her on to getting a divorce. Many ‘a man who considers himself a model husband, who adores his wife, and spends his life working to make her happy and to g her every- thing she wants, and who has never suspected but that his wife is also happy and contented, wonders why his mother-in-law dislikes him and looks upon him with a suspicious eye. . e FHE explanation would anmtaze him. It is because every time he and his wife have had a disagreement she has told mother all about it while s still in a rage he has let her anger color her story and long after forgotten all about it mother still remembers. The woman who rushes to tell mother every time she and her husband have a little spat justifies her lack of loyalty by saying that she has told nobody but mother. But mother is not always discreet. In fact, mother is so sloshing over with sympathy for her poor, persecuted child, that she is just bound to weep over Mabel's sad fate with her cronies. That is the way that, nine times out of tcn. the scandal gets started about the John Jones' fighting like dogs and cats, and Tom Smith being a brute who actually beats that poor, pretty, little wife of his, or Simpson being so stingy that his wife has to get every nickel out of him with a corkscrew. Therefore, T say, don’t tell vour troubles to mother, little bride. vou and your husband have family squabbles, referee your own fight without calling mother in. Ana_don't teil anybody, not even your mother, about your husband’s faults. That is something you have learned in confidence and that you are in honor bound not to reveal. Don’t teil your troubles to any one, least of all to mother. tell, the less we have to be sorry for. (Copyright, 1924.) BEAUTY CHATS Shampooing. If the hair and scalp are in perfect condition it shouldn’t be necessary to shampoo more than once in three weeks. But as they are not in perfect condition with more than one person out of 15, this rule has to be modi- fied and made to suit each individual case. If your hair and scalp are ex- ceedingly oily one week after they have been shampooed, you must sim- ply shampoo again, using something drying in the watér so that the oily condition will not return so quickly. If there is a good deal of dandruff ‘you are in an unfortunate position, for you need oil to fight the dandruff in spite of the fact that your scalp looks and is too greasy. In such a case you must massage the head the night be- fore you shampoo with hot crude oil or hot olive oil, or with sulphur oint- ment, and then the next day wash this all out very carefully, leaving the scalp clean and the hair fluffy. Oily hair must have soap used on it at least three times. The first soap- ing simply loosens the oil and dirt, the second takes most of it off, the third one will clear the scalp and hair of the last vestige of greasiness. Cas- tile soap made into a‘liquid by hav- ing hot water added and one table- spoonful of bay rum to every quar- ter pound of soap makes an-excellent shampoo, The hair should be rinsed in three basins of water, or, if DOS- sible, hot water gradually cooled should be hosed over the head for about five minutes. At the end the head sheuld be dipped in a basin of ‘When The less we DOROTHY DIX. BY EDNA KENT FOKBES fairly cold water containing the juice of half a lemon. For so oily a condition the hair needs a tonic.

Conditions, according to toda planetary aspects, are mainly ad- verse during the early morning followed by a short and fairly good period lasting until noon. This is the best part of the day. but even at that favors only ordinary and routine affairs. After noon the vibrations change, and the next on- coming aspect is Saturnine and adverse. The signs clearly indicate that nothing of a speculative or hazardous risk should be attempted and every effort should be made to avoid the making of any important decisions; the launching of any new enterprises along untried lines should be postponed to some more propitious opportunity A child born today will enjoy a normally healthy life, although it will be subject to one or more ag- gravating fillnesses, just subsequent to the period of adolestence. Its char- acter will be reliable; its disposi tion, more serious than gay: its men- tality, introspectively keen. This | child will, unfortunately, lack a sense of humor, and will take life alto | Bether too seriously. Even in its younger days it will be worried by problems that have. so far, remained unsolved. It should be compelled, as far as possible, to mingle freely with playmates of its own age in order to cure it, as far as practical. of an ever-present desire for solitude and unnatural introspection—breeders of morbidness. If today is your birthday, you like to lead and will never fill a second- ary place if you can possibly forge your way to the front. In your anx- iety to be In the vanguard, you often tread on others’ toes to their dis- comfiture and, sometimes, to your own disadvantage. You are philanthropic, and take a great deal of interest in social and public affairs. This ambition on your part is not subject to criticism, al- though you would possibly achieve greater success along the lines that you hav mapped out for yourself it your opinions were not so “down- right” and your expression of them a trifle more diplomatic. You are| very strong on conviction, but short| on your judicial temperament. 1f single, you should select, as a mate, one who will be in sympathy with your bread-minded interests, or, at_least, a good listencr. You are fond of travel, and enjoy reading books of the better sort. Well known persons—born on this date are: Wagner Swaynem, soldier and lawyer; Amos I. Dolbear, phys- icist and inventor; Henry van Dyke, clergyman and author; Isidor Singer, journalist and author; Winston Churchill, author; Alexander P. Moore, editor and Ambassador to Spain.
