I walked along our own crowded thoroughfares the other day with a charming Viennese. We walked miles because as she explained if we drove we couldn't get such a good view of the tall buildings. And at the streot corners she would stop and I would feel her hand clutching my arm_excitedly. She was experiencing thrills. that I could hardly understand at the sight of some skyscraper or other that I pass almost daily without so much as turn- ing my head. Whether or not you like skysérapers uw'll have to admit that they have d a distinet influence on modern decorative art. Modern art furniture yakers in Europe have taken the Amer- fican skyscraper for inspiration in de- finlns book cases and other pieces, of rniture. The same motive is re- BEAUTY CHATS Hair Dyeing. Every mail brings me letters about having the hair dyed, the most difficult question to answer, for some people can have their hair dyed successfully for years and years, but most people can’t. It depends on the health of the scalp, on the kind of hair, enormously on the skill of the hair dresser, as well as on the kind of dye used, for certainly here one person’s cure is another’s poison. You can stimulate the hair if it is going gray before it should and you ‘can build up your general health; these [two things count a great deal. You ican use my special hair tonic, because 3t stimulates the color cells as well as DAILY DIET RECIPE ALLIGATOR PEAR AND TOMATO. Alligator pear, one, medium size. ‘Tomatoes, three, medium size.

And quite recently Goupy of Paris presented her frocks of black satin with an ap- pliqued design of white satin inspired as we were told by the silhouette -of an American skyscraper. Personally I have never seen a sky- sctaper that in any way suggested this elaborately angular applique, indicated in the frock shown in the sketch. But whatever its source the design is an interesting one and one that might be copied without difficulty by the amateur dressmaker. Black satin with white satin trim- ming is decidedly smart at present and | some of the new frocks show black satin skirt and white satin overblouse In one costume the white satin blouse was worn tucked in. The black satin of the skirt was laid in rather fine pleats which were stitched horizontally from the rather low normal waistline to the hips. This week’s help for the home dress- maker gives a little sketch to show how to take stitches in fur needed in apply- ign trimming bands of fur or in mak- ing over old fur 3 suit new trimming purposes. This th the suggestions given makes the task of amateur fur work not at all difficult. Please send me a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you would like a copy of this circular. THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Wednesday, October 24. Benefic aspects will dominate in to- morrow’s horoscope, according to astrol- ogy. which finds few adverse influences. Writers will continue to benefit all through this month, which will be marked by worth-while fiction, as well | as magazine articles of moment. Under this direction of the stars, all men who have places in the sun should benefit. ‘Those who seek public favor are assured of enthusiastic response, under this direction of the stars. Women should be careful, for they are subject to a sinister rule. It is wise for them to avoid any sort of promi- nence. ile a few women will win in the political race for office the many wiil remain in subordinate places, where the public_service is concerned, the seers foretell. It is not ‘an auspicious .y for love affairs, and suitors should not be en- couraged, astrologers warn, for romance is not well directed. Severe autumnal storms are fore- shadowed. Persons whose birth date it is may cxpect satisfactory financial develop- ments in the coming year. Journeys seem to be promised. Children born on that day have the augury of careers remarkably prosper- ous. Both boys and girls may show spe- cial gifts for the medical profession which offers these subjects of Scorpio opportunities to gain real fame. (Copyright, 1928.) BY EDNA KENT FORBES makes the hair healthier. You can, in the beginning, cover the gray hairs with henna. This is perfectly harm- less and if properly put on tints the white hairs reddish yellow, so they blend in with blond hair and merely look coppery in dark hair, brightening it up. For this, you use a paste made of ordinary powdered Egyptian henna and hot water, spreading it over the head and letting it stay on 5 to 10 min- utes before you shampoo. You can’t hurt the natural color of your hair by doing this. i Skilled hair ‘:;essfirs tint hair mmm, lessly by usi enna preparations \vhlcyh have in them—black, dark and light brown, blond, etc. They are mixed until a shade exactly like the real hair is obtained. This is paint- ed over the mewly grown hair with a brush, very hot, left on, then ordinary henna washed through all the hair to blend this and the rest of the hair. The first henna must not go over the already tinted parts, and here is where the skill of the hairdresser comes in. Never try this course if you cannot make a satisfactory job of it. A Reader—As you have stretched the ligaments about the joints of your fin- gers by that severe treatment of snap- ping them, it will take time and. care until you get over this cracking sound. Massage about the joints gently to keep up an active circulation, using a nourishing oil with the massage if the fingers need it. As the ligaments recover you will have less and less of the cracking sound. Mrs. J. B. S.—You had better wait until you wean your baby before you try to diet very much for a reduction.

(Copyright, 1928.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Is There a Criminal Type? Here is a question of the first order so far as the general public is con- cerned. Thousands of people confi- dently believe that some people look like criminals; that there is a criminal appearance in the face, jaw, eyes, ears, chin, or some other part of the an- atomy. This mistaken idea undoubtedly has a history as old as human observation. The anatomical approach to all.such character reading once enjoyed the benefits of scientific sanction. It was the great Italian anthropologist, Lom- broso, who in the last century tried to crystallize the popular judgment about a criminal type into hard-boiled fact. He supposed that a “born criminal” could be counted on to display an asymmetrical skull, pig-eyes, long lower jaw, a scant beard and an ability to endure pain. Lombroso’s teachings had the effect of extending the date for a readjust- ment of these notions about criminals. It is well to remember that science is often the parent of dogma, just as much as any other system of knowledge or _knowledge gathering. Recent investigations have tended to undermine the Lombrosian theory and to emphasize once again the errors of superficial observation. There is really no such thing as a criminal type. It is environment rather than heredity that makes one turn out to be a thief. What are the facts? A trusted bank official turns out to be a thief. His friends can't believe that he willfully became a derelict. An obliging serv- ant takes your jewelry, and you refuse to intimate his complicity until a de- tective has regained the and proved the case. The dapper little man, who rode beside you on the street car, later visits your apartment with intent ui steal. The type theory goes all to pieces. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Cultivate Gentle Voice. One mother says: A low, gentle voice will be much more heeded by any child than a shrill, nag- ging one, but it is especially useful in dealing with nervous children. One very successful mother always lowers her voice when making a request of her children and the little ones are remarkably obedient and courteous. After all, we cannot expect our chil- dren to behave better than we.

Princes and tradesmen—potentates on leave and B. B. & E. men out for a grand good time. They find a great big village sleeping in the sun. Getting bigger and bigger all the time. They hear a scream of sirens—motor cops flash by, and in their wave a truck with grinding cameras. Making pictures on the boule- vard. Now and then Hollywood utilizes home industries and local backgrounds. ‘They hear a sound of band music and rush boulevard-wards. The entire life of the colony is built along this street which is not more than fifteen blocks long in its main stem. A float bears what is proudly captioned “The Largest Washing Machine West of Chicago.” Glaring red letters on a white canvas ground retail the praises of the indus- fries which are growing up with the motion picture business. ‘The blood-red shirt makes its appear- ance in the shops. The flowers that bloomed this Spring, tra la, were wild enough. Bright blues and vivid greens. And the orange and yellow that one wondered who would wear, and went discreetly dumb at discovering who did wear. The black shirt came next, worn with a white tie. This—one promised one's self—is the ultimate whimsy. But the ultimate may yet be reached. And how. And, in the meanwhile, blood- red linen is being shown in those shops that shamelessly cater to the latest. I thought the nadir had been reached when I entered a drug store and found the soda counter manned entirely by blonde young men clad in apple green smocks. One was negligently polishing the green glassware with a daffodil- yellow towel. There should have been a muted orchestra. Pan-pipes playing the “Afternoon of A Fawn” or something equally sympathetic. Claire Windsor and Bert Lytell are not subscribing to Hollywood’s friendly divorce idea. When they encounter each other at parties Clairie draws her- self to the full dignity of her blonde loveliness and passes Bert with a glacial stare. Bert Lytell's expressive face goes as blank as such a face can go. But ask one about the other. Then each launches into gallant compliments as to the char- acter, charm and fineness, etc. 2 All of which makes the discerning think that there’s very good material for a reconcillation. The friendly di- voree is the one that nine times out of MERRICK. ¥ ten remains a friendly divorce. Marie Prevost and Kenneth Harlan made up. They were one of Hollywood's friendly divorce couples. But the much-mooted friendliness which was observed in fre- quent luncheons was really the pre- liminary to “kiss-and-make-up.” Nils Asther is Hollywood's hope of the moment. He is the actor slated to sup- plant John Gilbert when that worthy retires or decides upon a life of literary endeavor which he now and then threatens. As this eventually threatens to be a long-lifetime away, Nils Asther has plenty of time to get ready for the big moment. If Gilbert leaves the studio where he has made pocture these several years—and he declares he will unless there is a great shaking of sheckels in his vicinity—Nils Asther will take his place. Asther is handsome. Over six feet in height. Was discovered by Mauritz Stiller when that director was making a picture which called for some ski-jump- ing. One of the professionals taking part in a tournament in the ‘vicinity was a poem in the air. The figure hurtling through the white silence was captured and brought before Stiller. He proved to be an amazingly hand- some young man. Got into a picture. Was thrilled at the idea. Became an actor of the legitimate. Has one of the loveliest voices I have ever heard.

My Neighbor Says: A tough fowl may be convert- ed into very delicious dishes if it is first boiled for soup then minced when cold for croquettes. In boiling allow a quart of cold water for each pound of chicken and set it on the stove, where it will heat very slowly. Always make sure that an omelet is loosened from the sides of the pan before turning it out. Hold the omelet pan firmly while slipping the omelet onto the platter.

CRAIG. October 23, 1857.—The firing of pis- tols and other small arms in the streets of Washington has become so common of late that the police have determined to break up the custom. Tonight, for instance, a number of young men were amusing themselves in “street pistol fir- ing practice.” Capt. Mills happened to come upon them and attempted to dis- cover who had done the firing. The young men refused to tell, One of the young men even wanted to know what right Capt. Mills had to interrogate him on this subject. The officer, knowing that a pistol had been fired from the party, arrested two of them and took them to the guardhouse. He informed them that, after a night’s rest, they might be more willing to an- swer his questions. They are to be fiha{ged ‘with rioting and disorderly con- uct. ‘The city streets in some quarters have been unsafe for some time because of the practice of firing pistols indiscrim- inately.
