P, lately chief reporter on Warren G. Harding'’s newspaper, he Marion (Ohio) Star, was in durance vile “some- where in France.” And it was a long way from the old home town. ‘To be more specific, George was in the guard house at Le Mans, town of burning memories. A good many oth- er buck privates will remember Le Mans, and maybe one or two will re- call the hoosegow. George wasn't the only gentleman under detention. Pvt. Emerson had made a terrible mistake. It couldn't be called an error in tactics, nor yet an error in judgment. It was due to circumstances over which he had no control.

He wandered round and got acquainted with everybody, and he even evinced & certain interest in Oswall and Oscar, tHe two pet cooties which one of the men kept in a bottle. But finally, when George had in- vestigated all the possibilities of the place, the atmosphere began to pall on him a bit. Even Oswald and Oscar failed to give him a thrill, and while he got a fair amount of fun in doing clog dancing for the gang, he couldn't keep up that rather strenuous form of exercise all the time. So gradually his thoughts turned to extraneous matters, 50 to speak. Now George was a mnatty dresser, & bit of a Beau Brummel. He still is for that matter. It therefore was but natural that his mind should veer round to the subject of cldthes. He viewed with considerable disfavor the rather soiled and shapeless uniform he was wearing. It wasn't up to his usual standard of immaculateness. The more George pondered his “sartorial short- comings, the more dissatisfied he be- came. He wanted a new uniform. But how to get it? He might as well ask for a slice of the moon. For several days Pvt. Emerson wan- dered about wearing the expression of Rodin’s “Thinker.” The gang wondered what he had on. his chest, but they got no satisfaction. Then one fine after- noon George came l:wmxlank ncr:u the hoosegow, garbed a spick and span new uniform. The gang rushed about George chantly flicked an imagi- nary xpeci‘%? dust from his sleeve, and then: “Well, lads, gather round and I will spin the yarn. You see it was this way.

He must grow up mentally aad physically. Of course, that means that the baby grows away from his mother, away from his fathér, his fam- ily, school and all his childhood’s world. Every mother will say, “Why, natu- | handle Of course.” But actions s to do before moving in any: direction? Why do well grown children have to have their meat cut at table before mmn proceed to eat it? Why do mo insist upon having children depend upon them for - 3 trifling service long after they are able to per- form it for lves? mothers want to feel that mlacémdrenu:e ;:lm;"a them, de- nt upon them for happiness, safe- , life itself. There is reason enough for this. From the moment a child is born his face is turned toward the task set before him. There is danger in every step and the mother’s mind is keen to sense every danger, every trial, every experience that faces her child. In the early years she must keep close to the baby every step of the way lest he perish., But even then a wise mother will keep reminding herself that although this child must be protected when necessary, he must also be fitted for self-proteetion, which is forever necessary. She must know that the child is going from her steadily and help him to go forward in strength and pride and nobility. ‘This is one of the severest trials of a mother’s life. Every tear the child sheds, every hour of pain he suffers, every discouragement, every fallure, smites her with a blistering stroke. Twice she. suffers every pain—once for him, again for her motherly spirit. But in that very suffering, if she is wise, she senses the danger of weakening her child and holds fast to that which she believes to be good. #: ‘The mother’s day is a succession of struggles aguinst the baby's desire for risk’ and growth through experiment and her own desire to keep him safe, to keep him dependent. So she washes his face when he could wash it himself. She hangs up his coat when he could hang it up for himself. She buys daugh- ter’s clothes when daughter longs to buy them herself. She decides this ques- tion and that when the very life of her gnlfirld depends upon answering for him- Nobody is wise enough to tell a mother what to do for child day by day, but the experience of the race warns us all that dependent childhood must not be encouraged. Strength comes through effort and peace after battle. Let the baby grow up, day by day, lest he arrive at a fullness of years with an_empty place where his self ought to be.

One of them has asked me o “put & plece in hair is so spongy that it takes up too much of the dye. ‘When the hair has not been entirely the paper” about them, and I am glad | gnqde aii to comply, even at the risk of repeat- ing much that I have already said on the subject. There are no new ways to the problem. In the first place, let me remind you flf;’fl?@ffi hec:me a blonde t(u kla ithout becoming 4l blonde with dry, nnw-u,;fl:ed . The so-called peroxide blonde is just an example of overbleaching, usually done at home. The girl who Detoride through It without mBKing. & pero: mal a distinction® between the parts that are nnlymdln and the parts that have been before. Such treatment results in the overbleaching of the lat- ter. As the hair grows longer, the much-bleached ends become very light, the middle section is darker and the hair at the roots is the natural shade of ashen blonde or light brown. There are also streaks through the hair show- mx'ed how unevenly the peroxide was ap- plied. By the time a head of hair has reached the condition just described its owner usually decides that the natural color of her hair is much to be pre. ferred to its present unsightly state. She feels ashamed to appear in public with & colffure that advertises her lack of skill in bleaching, and she wants her” hair immediately restored to its original color. If she is so ill-advised as to attempt to dye her hair back to its former color by use of a metallic dye she may find that, although she selected a light brown shade, it turns her hair black. This is due to the fact that the texture of overbleached ove: quires considerable skill and artistry on the part of the operator, who must know just how much to dilute over !:w streaky compounds and should not be used. In cases where the hair will not take a dye satisfactorily or when the bleached blonde does not care to use a dye, the alternative is to give the hair one or more hot oil treatments every week to help restore it to health. The egg shampoo should follow the oil treatment. Gradually the hair will im- prove in dppearance and the bleached ends may be cut off. Another possibility is to bob the hair very short and wear a transformation until the hair has grown out its na- tural color. MOVIES AND -MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 17.—Pre- tall and slim and so simply dressed in mieres in Hollywood are responsible for more than one extravagance in style. Last evening there appeared the part down the middle of the head—but the back of the head rather than the con- ventional hair part. It made the gay young things of Movieland look like |lady signers of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. With it came tulle Plerrot collars and the down-in-the-back effect in the skirt. It created a down-in-the- mouth effect in the observer. A week hence it probably will be for- gotten. Movies are that way. But for the nonce it's the devilish thing. Dorothy Mackaill, looking a trifle plumper than of yore and sporting a coat of tan that was the envy of every woman in the audience—a nice, smooth, nut brown, against which the pale lav+ ender velvet of the frock was startling. Dorothy has abandoned the somewhat severe boyish bob of last year, and her hair was done in the fashion of the first cuts to show the shingle back, rather full and long in front.

It's like peeping into the carr] on the way to a court presen- tation to drive along the boulevard con- trary-wise to the waiting line. ‘There was Peggy Wood, her delicate beauty enchantingly framed by the darkness of her car. Ann Harding, a blond from the legitimate and another of the dread rivals of the old movie colony. Arliss will appear soon in a talkie. No_getting around it, some of these spoken things are going to be a creat boon to people in out-of-the-way places to whom this great actor has been but a familiar name. ‘Ten minutes’ intermission, and every one strolls through the foyer, getting in a word when possible.

Outside arrivals are complicated by the army of moths and daddy longlegs that, careening with joy in the Spring night, tra la, fluttered in thousands about the great Kleig lights arrayed be- fore the theater entrance. Hollywood stars are afraid of daddy longlegs. I made that discovery watch- ing ladies who will bang their dainty fists on the mahogany desk of any di- rector in the colony, but who uttered the prettiest little cries and had to be cir- cled by strong, protecting masculine arms before running the gantlet of mad night insects. A handsome young man, a little the worse for temper, dashed up to the pro- tecting berrier of rope which hedged off side streets for blocks on either side of the theater. One angry look and he darted under the barrier. “Hey, get back there!” Hollywood minions of the law take their premieres seriously. ‘The young man squared himself de- flantly. “See here,” he shouted, “I've got an appointment up here, and I've been trying half an hour to get across these lines. It's much more important that I get where I'm going than that these yokels"—with a disdainful gesture to- ward the thousands of gaping spectators —“see a few movie fluffs arrive at an opening.” He carried his point, while a few of us reactionaries weakly cheered.
