It's been a long time since we dis- cussed hair tonics. These days of felt hats. there are few women who do not need something to stimulate the scalp. Even with short hair that is easy to keep clean and fluffy and that blows in the wind and gets well aired whenever there is no hat on the head and gets sunned, even With all these advantages, a hair tonic is neces- sary to make the scalp really healthy. For a few hours a day of a hot tight felt hat will do a lot of harm to your hair. Here's the tonic 1 like best—it's in the Beauty pamphlet with a lot of other beauty formulas of mine, but perhaps you haven't got it: Precipitated sulphur, 30 grains; car- bon detergent, 30 drops; castor oil, 10 drops; alcohol (95 per cent), 4 ounces; tr. cantharides, 4 drams; cologne, 4 drams; rose water, to make, 8 ounces. This is just a general, awfully good tonic for hair that falls out, gets too oily or too dry, lacks luster or color, or life. Sulphur is to fight dandruff, the detergent is an antiseptic, castor oil lends sheen and also is for dan- druff, cantharides is very stimulating | Fold | when completed.

By taking the occasional overhand stitch the running stitches are prevented from getting loose. The Finis The neatest way to make these mats is to finish off each round of an oval braid portion. The loose ends should be slipped deftly in under the strands of the braid where the joining comes. rt each round at a different place from the preceding one and these join- ings will scarcely be perceptible. But, of course, the easiest way is to con- tinue winding the braid about the cen- ter in an ever widening circle. When this is done the final braid making the edge must be gradually slipped under the braided portion of the row just_finished. This will keep the de- sired oval shape well defined. Colorful Style. Use a_contrasting color for the outer row of braiding and you will have an excellent finish that accords with the present fashion for colored napery. For an old-fashioned dining room the entire mat may be of two strands of white and one of a color or vice versa, with a finish of solid-colored braiding at the edge. A green and white. a blue and white, pale yellow and white, | etc., make excellent combinations. The hue should accord either with the tebleware or the scheme of the dining room. ‘A set can have as many as three finely blended colors if these same tones are in the china.

A TORRESPONDEN! for in the man she m: Of course, the conventional reply to this question is that she should find out if her prospective husband is honest and honorable, thrifty and industrious, and that he doesn't drink or gamble or chase petticoal “What qualities should a girl looi But, as a _cold matter of fact, a man's manners have more to-do with s wife happy than any other qualities. Someof the best men in the world, judged by ethical standards, are the worst husbands. There are plenty of men who are leading citizens and who are held up as examples to the youth in the communities in which they live who break their wives' hearts by their coldness and neglect, and make It is no comfort to a woman to know that her husband does not lie or steal or philander if he is hard and unsympathetic and stern afid penurious and fault-finding and grouch: This explains what is popularly considered to be the crowning feminine Inconsistency, and that is the attitude that widows so often take toward their dead hushands. We see a wife “bear up” with amazing fortitude—even cheerfulness—under the loss of a husband who has been a perfect paragon of all the virtues, while another woman never ceases to mourn the death of a a hopeless derelict. And the answer is, that on of a husband he was. Therefore, if T were a young woman contemplating mateimony, the thing upon which 1 would lay most stress would be the man's disposition, for that is the thing with which the wife is going to have to contend every day of her life and that is what is going to make her marriage a success or failure. A man is cheerful and good-natured, if he meets the ups and downs of life with philosophy, he will make a happy home. But if he is pessimistic and gloomy and grumpy. if he flares into tempers over trifles and lapses into sul- len silences over anvthing that goes wrong, then he will make the sort of a husband who causes his wife to wish that some kindly assassin had killed her on her wedding day. Pick out for a husband a man who is good-natured and easy to get along with. If during his courting days you have to keep a boy placated, if you have to jolly him along and stroke his fur the right way to keep him in an amiable humor, and if you have to think twice before you speak for fear of saying something that will rile him and start a row, be warned in time. That sort of a chap will make a husband who will keep his wife walking on ezgs the rest of her days. And that's a form of exercise which will make ny woman mighty tired in a short time. Then obseive the man's attitude toward yourself. Is he critical Is he always finding fault with your little mannerism: Does he dictate to you about what you shall wear and where you shall go and with whom you shall be friends. and generally undertake to regulate your life? Beware of him. The naggers don’t all belong to the female persuasion, and a man nagger has nagging developed to a degree that no mere woman can ever hope to attain. This sort of husband bosses the life out of his wife and she has less freedom than any slave that ever lived. Nothing that she can possibly do pleases him, and when he is at home he spends his time snooping in the icebox and peering in the garbage can and raising ructions over everything she does and leaves undone. Any wife will make plenty of mistakes, €0 she had best pick out for a husband a man who will turn a blind eye on her shortcomings instead of one who is a ham- mer-wielder’ by nature and who will find his chief diversion in knocking her. Never marry a jealous man. There are girls idiotic enough to be flatter- ed by a man’s jealousy and to think it a proof of love. In reality jealousy is always an insult, because it betrays lack of trust. The man who is jealous of his wife has no faith in her. He believes that she is capable of doing the things of which he suspects her. There Is no living in peace with a jealous man, because no matter how straight and honest you are, he belleves the worst of you. No matter how discreet you are in your conduct, he imputes to you every vice his imagina. tion can conjure up. By, L8 BSERVE whether the man you are thinking of marrying is tender and sympatheti¢ or not. If he kicks every dog out of his way. if he calls all children brats, if he is rude to old women, if he sneers at sentiment, don’t marry him, though you are positive he is your last call to the dining car. There are times when you will be sick, when you will be down 2 luck, when you have done silly things that you are sorry for, when the only refuge life will offer you will be to sob it all out on the second button of your husband's waistcoat. And if he fails you then and tells you not to make & fool of yourself, marriage will be dust In your tecth. Watch how a man spends money. Marry neither the spendthrift nor tightwad.

EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Daily Talk on Diet. The Right Food Is the Best Medicine. If You Wish to Reduce. Starch, sugar and fat foods are en- ergy or fuel foods. These supply the steam to make the body go. A very few people who are above normal weight have some slight dis- turbance of the thyroid gland, and the normal functioning of the body suffers such interference they become fat, no matter what kind of food is eaten. However, the great majority who weigh more than they should for good health and good looks are eating too much of the fuel or fathaking foods. Body food is a reserve. When so much starch, sugar and fat are eaten that the energy supplied by these foods s not used, the body stores this energy away in a layer of fat. Pres. ently John Jones and Mary Smith be- come distinctly avoirdupois because the amount of fuel foods eaten is greater than the need. Because the following foods contain either a_large percentage of fats or of starch and sugar,_they are forbid- den on a reducing diet. One who is trying to reduce must not eat rice, corn, macaroni, white bread, pies, cakes, white potatoes, fried or peeled and then bolled; sweet potatoes, pork in any form, bacon, ham or lard, olive oll, cream cheese, grapes, figs, raisins, dates, bananas, chestnuts, walnuts, grape juice, alcoholic drinks, candy sirups, jam, jellies, marmalades or cream, either on cereals, as ice cream or whipped. Question. E. N. L.—Does oleomargarine have as many food calories as butter? Answer.—Oleomargarine and butter have approximately 3,400 calories per pound, but oleomargarine does not contain the very necessary vitamin A, which is present in butter. It can, however, be used as a butter sub- stitute, provided milk is used in the diet. For growing children it is well to give them butter two or three times a week in addition to giving them a quart of milk a day for each child, though oleomargarine may be served even the children at the other meals whero cost must be considered. Oleo- margarine should, of course, be of the highest quality. Neapolitan Mousse. Heat one can of pineapple and drain it.

You have used that expression any number of times, but perhaps you haven't felt the significance of it. If you are a real that-thatter, you have decision, you put your foot down, you settle matters so that they stay put. The trouble with most of us is that we are scatter-brained. Our brains are birds which fly from tree to tree, but seldom perch on a limb, and still less often build a nest. We are all like starlfngs, which keep hopping up and down whille they scratch for tood. The 100 per cent that-thatter is the person who refuses to have his at- tention drawn away from the object or purpose that is supposed to interest him. Such a person is like a wood- pecker, which finds an interesting tree and then bores his way into it. There are people who are just as scatter-hearted as they are scatter- brained. Thelr emotions cannot light anywhere, but keep them fluttering from place to place, from person to person. Their emotions are seeds which cannot take root because the heart has not enough soii for them. These scatter-hearted people are interested in love, ,ut they cannot concentrate long enough to have the heart get in its fine work. Such scat- ter-hearted loving isn't loving at all: it's only flirting, which consists in kidding yourself into thlnking that you're in the love class with all the Cleopatras, Heloises, Juliets and Marguerites. Scatter-brained people, xbo fail to apply the that-that method, are rarely a success in life. They are the vacks of all trades, the Jills of all jobs. T'hey cannot concentrate the way a rios- quito does when he finds an Interest- ing person asleep with the window open. They cannot get there the way the bee does when he makes a beeline for somebody’s nose. The scatter-hearted person is the same with persons as the scatter- brained is with things. He or she cannot bhecome attached to anybody for any length of time. This person never says ‘“‘that's that” or “he's the guy” or “she’s my baby.” Fickle is no name for such floating hearts. hen a man_ kisses you, does he glve vou the impression that he's settling something, or is the smack just a little touch that doesn’t get below the rouge line? A real kiss is like a seal set upon your lips to show that the kisser means to take posses- slon of you. Most kisses these days have ne authority about them. They are only near kisses from the mugs of the men who don’t mean business, but who are only amusing themselves. A rubber stamp does better than they do, for it leaves some sort of impres- sion. There's a tendency and temptation to be scatter-brained and scatter- hearted in these days when so much is going on and so many people are passing by, and perhaps we can be excused for our fickleness. But therq is room for the that- thatter who can make his thoughts count, his loves register and his kisses score a hit. Such a person has his ldeas and emotions well under control. It may be this thought, that feeling, or the other impulse, but it settles matters.

Sometimes readers ask me to pub- |lish a recipe for a bleach that will | make a_naturally dark complexion blond. This is, of course, impossible. 1t such a recipe had been discovered, the inventor would he one of the world’s richest men and the present ratio between fair-skinned and dark- | skinned people would be reversed. A legitimate use for skin bieaches is the removal of tan and sun freckles The latter come on naturally fair com- plexions and are accumulations of pig- | | | ment deposited over the tiny nerve ends to protect them from irritations caused by the sun’s rays. These blem- ishes may be bleached to a_lighter hue, but they will return if the skin is expvsed again to strong direct sun- light. The skin must be protected with a suitable powder base and pow- der, and should be shaded by a wide hat or parasol whenever one goes out- doors. In addition to this preventive treatment, a mild bleaching lotion may be applied two or three times a day Camping Shopper. Those who enjoy freedom from ho- tels, dressy clothes and being away from all appurtenances of civilization often choose to do thelr vacationing in camps. Camping styles have become rather elaborate, so that the shopper who goes shopping for an outfit may find that camping is no less complex than other ways of vacationing. The shopper who thinks that her old clothes are adequate will encounter many contradictions. She must have special shirts, blouses, knickers and sweaters. All items of clothing must match, as must kerchiefs, hose, gloves and so forth. The camper today may not care to be-.dressed up, but she does care about how she looks. The shopper has a_bewildering va- riety of camping outfits from which to choose. Some shoppers insist pri- marily on mosquito-proof tents, others wish plenty of space, and they demand the bungalow type of tent with win- dows and doors. Those intending to occupy a camping space for any length of time require a little porch along with their tent. Automobile camping presents a_spe- cial problem to the shopper. Most women prefer folding gear, so that it may be conveniently packed on one's car. These are usually made so that they form a tent about the car, or The | rmer Browa's Boy reached for him | Brown's Boy managed to hold | » where the roots had BY THORNTON W.
