WOMAN'’S PAGE.' THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1929. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Dear Miss Leeds—I used to have very olly hair until I had two permanent waves, Now my halr is so dry that it all breaks off. It looks almost like hay! How can I restore the oil? DOROTHY. ANSWER—You should have taken stcps to prevent the dryness right after you had your first permanent. I do not think much can be done for the twice-waved halr, but you can make the new hair that is growing in at the roots better. To make your hair look less like hay you should have a warm oil treatment before each shampoo and then set your wave. Spray plenty of brilllantine on your hair daily to make it glossy, and brush it well. The per- manent-waving process tends to destroy the life of the hair, and it is necessary to keep it well oiled so that it will look Lealthy even if it is not. Massage your scalp for ten minutes daily. Put a few drops of the brilliantineor hair ofl in the palms of your hands and rub the ends of hair between them. Some types of hair can stand more permanents than others. LOIS LEEDS. Miss Sixteen’s Beauty Problems Dear Miss Leeds—(1) I am 16 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall and weigh 110 pounds. What are good measurements for my height and age? (2) I have dark brown hair, a dark complexion What shade_of rouge ould I use? I have a kheads and small pim- to have long curly hair, been bobbed it is straight. Do you k it will curl again 1f Ilet it grow long? I use water wavers. My hair is very oily and Has dandruff. Does tar soap make a good shampoo for this kind of hair? (4) I perspire and lipstick great many a good deal. Can you advise me about this? ORPHA. ANSWER—(1) You are three pounds below the average weight for your age and height. Good measurements for you are; Neck, 13; bust and hips, 32 or 33; waist, 25 or 26; thigh, 19; calf, 13 or 131%; ankle, 7 or 7l5. (2) You should not use rouge until you have rid yourself of the blackheads and pimples. My experience has been that when girls in their teens use make-up daily they soon ruin their complexions. The rouge settles in the pores and irritates and enlarges them. Keep your skin clean. Use just a little brunette face ' powder, Remove the powder with cold cream at bedtime and wash your face with plenty of. soap and warm water. Press out the black- heads. Rinse in clean warm water, then in cold water. Dry and pat on witch hazel. Avold constipation. Eat plenty of salads, spinach and fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink six or eight glassfuls of water daily between meals. (3) Yes, I think your hair would recover its natural wave if you let it grow long. Encourage the wave with water-waving combs, or finger-wave your hair. Wash your hair once a week, using the tar soap in liquid form. (4) It is normal to sweat, as perspiration is an impor- tant aid in regulating body temper- ature. If you did not sweat you would feel very uncomfortable. Take a com- plete warm cleansing bath every night and pat a little toilet water or a deodorant under your arms before dressing in the morning. If the sweat- ing is excessive, consult a doctor. . LOIS LEEDS. Straightening The Legs Dear Miss Leeds—I am 13 years old, 5 feet tall and weigh 97 pounds. I am bow-legged. What can I do about it? LILY D. ANSWER—Your weight is good You should consult an orthopedic surgeon about your legs. It may be possible to correct your troubles to some extent by the use of special shoes or special treatments. You must have expert scientific advice on this problem; you cannot treat yourself successfuly with- out such advice and the longer you put off seeking it the less will become your chance of straightening your legs without surgery. If your legs are only slightly out of shape you should not worry about them, however. Very few girls have perfectly straight legs. Ask your doctor’s advice as to whether yours really need straightening. LOIS LEEDS (Copyright, 1020 MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE By MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 5.— Fern Andra, German movie star, arrives in the village and takes the interest of the studioites by storm when she an- nounced that she is resting, not seeking engagement in pictures. And the way the beauty obtains this divine seclusion is by having a life- sized picture of herself and chow and Pekingese printed in the local papers, together with a headline blazoning the news that the Baroness Fern Andra is here but doesn’t want work. A dozen gentlemen were immediately after her to sign a name to a contragt. The best way to intrigue Cinemaville is 10 announce publicly that you will have nore of it. Now and 2gain a young lady achieves the impossible by getting into a nice, ripe lawsuit—getting into hot water of some kind or another—making the front page of the world's presses or by calmly arnouncing that movies do not interest her in the slightest. Follow this casual remark with an explanation that the.young woman in question is a society girl, has her own income and wemldnit think of movies as a poofession, and the chances are that she'll be dragged into an inner room for a camera test before she is off the lot. 4 ¥ Alma Rubens has been having a stormy time lately. Repeated hints that . her marriage with Ricardo Cortez was a failure were met with denials from both. They had. taken separate homes for artistic reascns, they explained, and while they continued to occupy these separate homes they met frequently for dinner in public, and were publicly af- ::ecscionm, which silenced most colon- Public affection generally does the work, and proves my contention that 100 per cent of the public has a 9-year- old mind, so far as propaganda is con- cerned. Recently Alma Rubens’ nervous trou- bles have taken strange forms, including a nocturnal stroll with a flashlight, to the great embarrdssment of the neigh- bors. It was explained that insomnia and overwork were responsible. Then there was her recent attempted leap from the automobile taking her to a sanitarium, and her attack upon the physician accompanying her. Which really swings Hollywood news back into the groove a good many of the public feel it should occupy. The stars are becoming puny in their tan- trums.

Why is it, a frlend asked me across her fence the other day, that some plants will keep green all through Winter and others not? Why, in the woods, is the Japanese honeysuckle evergreen, though it is but a foreign weed, when blackberries drop their five- toed leaves and ash and elm stand leafless? We are so used in our climate to trees that shed their leaves in Winter that we forget that total nudity in the tree world is the exception, if the forests of the world are considered as a whole. Obviously, in a tropical climate with plenty of rainfall there is no reason why trees should not be evergreen. Less obvious, but equally true is it, that in subarctic and arctic climates most trees have to be evergreen; if they were in leaf only during the few weeks of Summer the trees would die of under- nourishment, and would scarcely breathe all year, for the leaves are the lungs, the stomach and the liver of a plant. And so Norway has its pines and Brazil its palms. But, myself, I prefer the drama of our deciduous forests, dancing with airy grace with filmy greenness in Summer, leafless, solemn and fine-etched in Winter. To walk through the woods at this season of year is to walk the aisles of a great fair or bazaar after all is closed for the night, the fabrics laid away and only the gaunt and per- manent stalls left in their aisles. My Neighbor Says: ‘When peeling apples prepara- tory to making pies, drop each apple as peeled into a pan of cold water to which a few drops of lemon juice have been added. They will not then turn brown. When grease is spilled on the kitchen floor pour cold -water over it. You will find it may then be scraped off easily. If you run short of olive oil ‘when making salad dressing melt butter and add it to the oil. It makes a good substitute. The icy air of February and March is not good for chickens.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK (= BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER. THER.E is a young man in the United States Senate who does more, per- haps, than any other to make the life of the Vice President of the United States worth living. His name is Charles L. Watkins, and his official title is Senate journal clerk. A mere journal clerk does not add much to the happiness of Vice Presi- dents, but the fact that Watkins is an expert, parliamentarian and interpreter of Senate rules makes him dear to the heart of those gentlemen who must keep the Senate functioning in a straight line and in orderly fashion. Without his services, even “Hell an’ Maria” Dawes, with all his fearlessness of Senate recriminations, probably would feel the urge to abdicate the President’s chair when he sees. one of those furious Senate squalls approach- ing. But with Watkins at his side he sits tight, confident that he can weather the blow. Likes a Crisis. Now and then a crisis has arisen. One can never tell when one will arise in the Senate. Then decisions must be made quickly and the consequences suffered afterward. It is here that Watkins shines. Before the chair is asked to untangle a snarl, the journal clerk has sized up the situation, made his decision and called it over his shoulder to the Vice President. Sometimes Watkins is able to foresee complications.. When Senators begin to make faces at each other on the floor, experience has taught him that a storm is approaching. Such a situation arose not long ago. It was late in the afternoon and two Senators were getting deeper and deeper into a parliamentary tangle. It was apparent that only a decision from the chair could straighten them out. ‘That night Watkins went carefully over the situation and made his deci- sion. The next morning when Vice President Dawes reached his desk he found a typewritten report coverin; the whole affair. The crisis came nH right, early in the session. Watkins had not foreseen that a third Senator would get into the fracas, but the deci- sion he had prepared was adequate. An appeal was taken, but in the end Dawes was upheld. Rules Are Tricky. It is not difficult to understand how indispensable to a Vice President. Senate rules are fearful things and Vice Presidents are green. True, the rules follow an outline, but so many amendments have been added that it is almost impossible for a new man to keep them straight. Then, too, the Senate has the reputation of one of the most jealous and cranky legislative bodies in existence. Without a man like Watkins there is no way of telling just what would happen. Incidentally, Watkins is a Democrat and comes from Arkansas. He has long since, however, renounced party affiliations so far as his work in the Senate s concerned. MOTHERS “ AND THEIR CHILDREN. Paging. One mother says: Ever since a visit to a large hotel my young son delights in enacting the part of a page boy. When any member of the family may be wanted by another he trots all about the house or yard, crying out in quite a professional man« ner: “Call for Mary Green!” “Call for Mr. Fred P. Green!” or whatever the name may be. Other small boys might like to try a man as well equipped as Watkins is this. every family can have Frigidaire Yes, now is the time to see the New Frigidaire.
