I have asked a lot of the lead- ing hairdressers and written to a lot more, and the answer seems to be, that while a certain number of people are letting their hair grow, they are almost always very young girls who have never had a chance to wear their hair long and therefore want to try it as a nov- elty. The short-haired style has been going on for so many years that a lot of us forget the excitement, about 1914 or 1915, I think, when Irene Castle sud- denly appeared with her pretty hair trimmed like that of a little girl. I remember storms of protest, and T also remember how the first women to wear the hair like this were stared at when they went out on the street. The children of those days have been grown women for some time, and the babies of those days are the ones who are experi- menting with the long-haired style. So the tables have turned, and the youthful fashion now is having the hair iong, but though it is being adopted by young girls it is not a fad that older ‘women can copy so easily. A well cut ‘bob will make a woman look 5 to 10 years younger. The woman of 30 to 40 will think a long time before she discards so pleasant a way of disguising her age. However, there are some types that should never wear their hair short—the very tall, dark, slender girl is one of them. She should wear her hair straight or with the least bit of curl, with the knot at the nape of the neck. This lends grace and dignity; it also makes a girl look taller and is only imprac- ticable for the woman who has a reced- ing chin, She must wear her hair with the knot on a level with her nose to disguise her bad profile, or else she had best stick to the always becoming bob, because she can fluff her hair in back and so disguise a weak chin line. ‘The best thing about long hair is that you can always cut it off again.

Granulated sugar, 115 cups. Flour, 6 cups. Salt, 1 teaspoon. Nutmeg, 1 teaspoon. Vanilla, % teaspoon. , 1 cup. Makes about 41; dozen dough- nuts. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Combine slightly beaten egg, milk, vanilla and melted fat. Mix liquids into dry ingredients light- ly. Shape into a ball and kneed in just enough extra flour to pre- vent dough from sticking to board. The softer dough is han- dled the nicer doughnuts will be. Roll out dough to quarter-inch thickness and use uit cut- ter to shape. Have the dates stoned and each date stuffed with a nut meat. Quickly and lightly roll doughnut dough over the date. Drop, or rather slide, doughnut (so &s not to splash the fat) into deep fat, which regis- ters 365 to 375 degrees F. The doughnuts should rise to top of fat quickly. Turn as soon as they rise and leave this side down until it is browned. Then turn back and brown first side. Remove when Dbrowned and drain on paper. To sugar, shake them in bag containing some powdered sugar. The whole process of frying should take 31 to 4 minutes. If the fat is too cool doughnuts will absorb fat and be greasy and indigestible. If fat is too hot doughnuts will be- raw in center. One-half teaspoon jelly could be substituted for date filling. DIET NOTE. ‘Recipe furnishes protein, starch, sugar, - fat. Lime, iron present.

L.: You can bleach the dark- | ened skin under your arms by rubbing & piece of cut cucumber over the skin every day for a few weeks. F. M. W.: One part white of egg and six parts water will make an astringent which is to be reserved for special treatments, such 'as those given when there is any tendency to’ sagging. An astringent of this kind is not for daily use, as it would be very drying to the bath, tones the skin and keeps it firm, a strong astringent treatment such as that when the white of egg is used. ° Helen C.: If you send a self-addressed, stamped envelope, 1 shall mail you s formula for a hair tonic that will help your condition. Meantime, massage your scalp every day until you feel the blood tingling through the scalp mus- cles. I am assuming that you have stopped bleaching your hair now and are giving it a good chance to recover. You are fortunate to have your hair starting to come in again, even though it is thin and only three-quarters of an inch long after three months. However, it will gain because of this and become thicker after you use the tonic for a time. Perhaps the people who gave you the permanent wave did not know what you had used for bleaching your hair or they would not have risked having it drop off your scalp following the wave. Naturally, it will take time and very good care for it to recover. s Oyster Sandwich Filling. Chop a quart of oysters fine, season with zalt, ?eppet and nutmeg, add half a cupful of melted butter, half a cupful of cream, the whites of three eggs beaten and eight powdered crackers. Cook until a smooth paste. Set away to cool, then cut in thin slices and spread between bread. SHE was one gitl who was going to be slim and beauti- ful—s0 she began a strenu- ous reducing diet.

Upon a fine and cloudless morning he'd sniff the atmosphere, and give us all & solemn warning that storms would soon be here. And storms would straightway come kerwhooping, and blow our haystacks down, and leave the tall trees rent and drooping, and ruin shacks in town. He said he never placed reliance on superstitious signs, his work was always based on science, on stern and rigid lines. His prophecies came true 50 often, 50 oft he made the grade, that critics soon began to soften the stric- tures they had made. His reputation kept on growing, and wise old savants said his record made as fine a showing as they had ever read. The public prints began to boost him and called him truly great, and in the village that produced him the boys would celebrate. Then all at once while Fame was hanging her garlands on his neck, his reputation went a-banging, & flerce and total wreck. He made a string of punk pre- dictions, he guessed wrong every time; then all the claims he'd made seemed flictions, his “science” was a crime. If he predicted balmy weather with sun- shine all around. a dozen storms would come together, the landscape would be drowned. So he became the theme of jokers, the butt of village fun; at all the jamborees and smokers men laughed at what he’d done. The gods seem often most malicious, they let us climb a while, and then they come along and | dish us, and do it with a smile. ‘WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1920.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CRILDREN.

Movies and Movie People BY MOLLIE MERRICK. Special Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., September 26 (N.AN.A)—Lon Chaney, recuperating from an operation for removal of his tonsils, still has not solved his difficul- ties with the motion picture industry. Chaney will not “go talkie.” And the producers of this village have invested their millions in audible films. The professional circle has only two loyal adherents to the old-fashioned silent film. Charlie Chaplin and Lon Chaney have steadfastly refused to “talk” in their film appearances. For Chaplin sticking to his theory has been an easy, if somewhat expen- sive, matter. King of comedy, Charlie Chaplin had to do when the issue became vital was to r from United Artists and go in for indepen- dent production of silent films. Lon Chaney is not producer. He is an actor, under con- tract to Metro-Goldw! And that studio is an * cern. Even Greta Ga Lon Wages His War. For a time it looked as Chaney's career were coming to & sud- if Lon g | den close. His friends talked of failing health, of serious iliness requiring in- stant rest and change. Off he went to Sobobo Hot Springs, and on went the picture for which he had been sched- uled, with a substitute actor, chosen by Lon Chaney. PFrom a distance the war against talkies was waged. Lon Chaney insisted on a silent version for his return, and the studio was adamant in its insist- ence upon a_talkie. And from high places drifts the rumor that Chaney, favorite of all the uni- verse, young and old, rich and poor, men and women, is not in as high esteem with the powers that be as he might have been had he not been so faithful to his ideas and his ideals. ‘The matter will be patched up. Chaney is too valuable a box-office attraction to be dropped from the lists. But he may have to meet his producers’ ideas of the change in artistic standards if he still wants to keep in the foreground of gelatin interest.

V. 8. writes: ay a 22%- month-old healthy baby have raw to- matoes? And if so, would one-half of one a day be too much? “I give him one tablespoon of scraped beef a day. He is very fond of it and could eat more. How much may he have? “One day in the near future will you write an article on how to encourage an c;ver-uuve child to play with his t0ya?” Answer—I fear, from your letter, that | POO. you are carrying caution to the extreme. There is no reason why a child of two | years can’t enjoy raw, ripe tomatoes, even more than one-half at a time, As for scraped beef, give him a small lamb chop, a plece of broiled steak, chicken, fish (carefully denuded of bones) and liver, rare roast beef, cut finely and in amounts up to several table- spoons. A child nearly two years old needs attention to his food and care in its selection but he has a very well rounded diet, and his appetite dictates, in most cases, the amount he eats rather than a measuring spoon. ‘The 2-year-old needs more attention to developing the large muscles than he does playing with small toys. If he has a wagon and other toys upon which to ride, large, heavy blocks, for build- ing and ecarrying, bags or heavily stuffed paper bags to throw, or rubber balls, these will occupy his attention now perhaps better than smaller toys. If toys are placed in convenient places —that is, on a shelf which the child can reach, or in a low drawer which he can open—he will be encouraged to go there and bull out the thing he wants. At this age there is no very lengthy attention wasted on anything, The child goes from toy to toy, playing with it a moment, then throwing it down. He will be much more apt to stick to his riding, climbing and throw- ing at this age, and this is just as it should be. It is difficult for the mother to accustom herself to seeing everythi thrown about, but she should safe- guard toys and possessions by giving the child objects which he can throw with impunity in an environment which can't be injured by his throwing. Later on he'll take more interest in building toys and crayon and pencils, but we can’t cheat nature out of her natural stimulants, and each phase of develop- ment has to be satisfied before its gives way to the next. A Sermon for Today BY REV. JORNN R. GUNN. “Reacheth Unto the Clouds.” “Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heav- ens; and Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.”—Ps., xxxvi5, | ‘We readlly recognize the divine mercy and goodness in the clear, blue heavens. We feel that God is and gracious when the sun shines and our lives are filled with gladness and -theerfulness. But the heavens are not always open and clear. Not all our days are days of sunshine. Sometimes the skies are overcast with clouds. And when that is true some of us allow ourselves to be- come possessed with a feeling of mel- ancholy and despondency. That ought | not to be, for God’s mercy is not only manifested in the blue heavens, but His “faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.” There are times when our/lives are overshadowed by the cloud of sin and consclous guilt. But, even though that =loud results from our own willful trans- | gression, God's faithfuiness faileth not. “I will blot out thy transgression as a | thick cloud.” | Ofttimes our sky is darkened by the cloud of temptation. But the divine faithfulness reacheth unto that cloud. “God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape.” There is the cloud of disappointment which often casts its shadow over our path. But disappointment makes us think. The result is that we attain to a wider and wiser discernment. And so our disappointment proves to be but “the shadow of the Almighty.” | Other clouds come, and what dark clouds they often are—misfortune, ad- versity, affliction, sickness, sorrow! But “let not your heart be troubled.” “The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break ‘With blessings on your head"— for His “faithfulness reacheth unto the Icloud ' BY LOIS LEEDS.
