MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Cioffure for Growing Hair. , Dear Miss Leeds—I am letting my | hair grow and it is almost shoulder | length. Will you please suggest a way | o dress it? 1 can wear it parted in| the middle, but it is too long now to let it hang. ELSIE T. Answer—A pretty coiffure for hair lke yours is to part it in the center | and draw it back. Comb each section of hair smooth and flat. Fasten with & metal clip or narrow colored barette, | then fold the left-hand section over to | the right side of the head, turn the| ends of hair under and pin with in-| | | visible hairpins. If your hair is not| long enough to turn under, just fasten | it with two pretty, narrow barrettes at t.h.;l nape of your neck and curl the en If you have a fairly low forehead and small features, you may wear the following colffure aiso, for a change: Brush your hair straight back from your face. Have the ends curled in| ringlets and fasten them bagk ~with | three combs, one on each side and one across the top at the back of the head | Just below the crown. Let a small| strand of hair curl in front of each and make few small, flat curls in the center of your forehead. This will give you a dressy coiffure for parties or evening wear. The hair is smooth over the crown of the head and sides and a mass of smail curls-at the back. Be sure to brush your hair every night and and your scalp at least once a day. LOIS LEEDS. Renewing Hair Health. Dear Miss Leeds.—(1) My hair used to be glossy and naturally wavy, but since I have been having poor health for 12 months there is scarcely a wave left in my hair, and it is very dull and lifeless-looking. Will it improve as I gain my health and former phys- dcal condition? Would the warm-oil treatments help any? (2) I have um brown hair with red and bronze tints in it, hazel eyes and a light complexion. What colors are be- coming? (3) I am 23 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 100 pounds. How much underweight am I? ANXIOUS. LEEDS. Answer.—Poor general health is re- sponsible for the dull, lifeless condi- tion and for the lost curliness of your hair. Pirst you must build up your health and gain your normal weight. If you have not had & physical ex- amination I avise you to do so. Your physician will help you. The first thing to do 1s to find out the cause of your | poor physical condition and remove it before you can expect to build up your vibrant health again. Make sure that you are eating a sufficlent amount of nourishing foods and drink at least one quart of milk daily. Ask your doctor if cod liver oil will help you. I think that | it will. months. fresh air every day. Be sure that you have sufficient sleep and rest. Relax nervous tension by lying down several times a day. Do not eat when tired or nervous, but rest & few minutes hoth before and after meals. Eat slowly and masticate your food thoroughly, Avoid constipation by a wise diet and drink water between meals. Avold strenuous exercise, but take a moderate amount of exercise every ¢ay. Relaxing exer- cises in the evening before retiring and simple setting-up exercises in the morning wil be helpful, together with a daily walk out of doors. For local treatment you may give your hair the warm-oil treatment be- fore each shampoo. Massage your scalp every day for at least 10 min- utes. Brush your hair thoroughly every night and morning. This will stimulate the circulation of blood through the scalp and nourish the new hairs that are growing. When your physical health improves, the quality of blood will be improved and it will give to the blood the necessary elements for the health of the hair. A stimulating tonic may be used several times a week to help along with the local treatment. The following will be found useful: Two drams boric acid, 1 dram salicylic acid, 1 dram tincture of catharides, 10 drops tincture of capsicum, 2 drams castor oil, 10 ounces bay rum. Shake well. Apply three times & week and » the scalp as directed above. I would like you to have my leaflet which tells how to massage the scalp and how to apply tonic, and the dif- ferent treatments for unhealthy hatr, Please send me s self-addressed, stamped envelope and ask for it. (2) You may wear creamy flesh, peach, medium raspberry, plum, net and Bi , mustard, A deep yellow, ttle green, dark blue, peacock, 'wood and turquoise, nmp:rom madun, orcl]:‘l:l.“dm gray, pinks and mauve, and dark , black if relieved with bright trimming. (3) You need to gain about 24 pounds. Please ask for my leaflet on how to gain weight when you write me again. It contains menu sug- gestions and simple exercises that will help you. Do not forget to inclose your self-addressed, stamped envelope so that I may mail it. LOIS LEEDS. (Copyright, 1930.) Take it regularly for several OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI Henry W. Longfellow.

Their mother had a flair for clothes and exercised much of it in clothing her daughters as well as_herself, She was glad that more picturesque clothes were coming back into style, for she knew that young girls, particularly the awkward child in her teens, can stand ruffies and furbelows much bet- ter f-hlnnlnhe can the severe and simple straight lines ! ~One dress which she made showed the | influence of the Directorire period. That poleon swayed the worid. That was the day, too, of ruffies and coquettish sleeves and gloves, buckles and bows. In those days coats had triple caj or capelets about the shoulders. Today those capelets may appear on coats, but also on dresses, Here is a Spring dress for Claire which is distinctly Directoire in feeling, with its ruffied cape collar. Another dress had the pouf or s\lfl sleeve with a lingerie trimmi evident in the bow which finishes each sleeve. A fichu neck line was all important in Josephine’s day. Something of the same line is seen in the dress of Edith, Claire's special friend. Other traces of the Directoire style which are creeping in are high waist lines, long gloves, bolero jacket, which is taken the coat of the men who lived in the Directoire fl.:x'a. (Copyright, 1930.) I always think of the first run of maple sap as the most remarkable event in the month of February—the birth- days of two heroes notwithstanding. ‘While sentimentalizing over picturesque scenes in old Vermont, or, with breath- less interest, attending an_educational movie of maples, does it never oceur to an; to ask what it is that lifts the sap of the maple sugar? ‘Water rises to the top of an 80-story building, but it rises because man, with ire machines, forced it up there. mg engine fires die out and the water would fall to its own level. assume that sap rises in the sf,:lfln" under the supposed compelling influ- ence of pleasant weather. ruary the weather of Vermont would often compare favorably with Baffin Land.

Evaporation of water from the cells of the leaf will cause suction in each succeeding cell below, thereby giving a hand-up from the top. But at the mo- ment there are no leaves on the maple. So these are all helpful suggestions, but incomplete explanations.

DIAR DOROTHY DIX—Does marriage affect the quality of love?—S. M. B. Answer: The very fact that they belong to each other, that each is dependent upon the other, that their every interest is in common and that they must share the same destiny increases the affection of those who have really married for love. ‘The man and woman who have worked shoulder to shoulder, who have hoped and planned and saved and struggled together, who have known father- hood and motherhood, who have watched sick beds and wept over little coffins together, very often are drawn so ly together that they almost literally become one and even come to look like each other. It has been my privilege to know many men and women who after having lived together for 30 or 40 or 50 years were sweethearts still. During all those years they had kept the lamp of love burning on the altar and its flame was brighter in their old age than in their youth, because each had the memory of innumerable of that the other had shown him or her. Each knew that, whatever else fail love would not fall, and if all the world turned against them they would have each other to cling to. But If people who marry have not & real love for each other, it what draws L:re':l.l wnw gfir"ts merely a physical attraction, then marriage is practically certain 3 Many a man marries a girl because she has a pretty face. He does not try to find out if she has any brains, or even any heart. He does not try to find out if they are congenial, if they have the same ideals and purpose in nle.l!t.hqanmthumthfwnnflhlummm. He doesn’t try find out if she is industrious and thrifty and domestic_and fitted to make mmm»(w-mnw.uwm«mamwwhn life playing bridge and buying new clothes. It does not take long for marriage to kill love in a union like this, for Soon as the man finds out that his doll is stuffed with sawdust and that i‘!: head is empty, he discards it as a child does & toy whose paint has rubbed off. The living picture isn't so beautiful seen at close range. Besides, he gets tired looking at the same old picture. And he is bored by the lack of response that he gets from his object of art. And, anyway, no wife looks good to her husband if she is a poor housekeeper and runs up big bills, Marriage kills love in the selfish. It takes real love to stand the sac: s that marriage requires of men and women.

There is a room in the Grant man- sion filled with me- mentos of her noted father-in-law, many of them sccured on his round-the- world trip and gifts of foreign nations. Especially inter- esting are docu- ments which have to do with Abra- ham Linceln. There is one in particular—the papers passed between the two when Grant was made commander in chief of the Northern forces. But the story back of these docu- ments, as told by Mrs. Grant, is even more interesting. Grant came to Washington to receive his commission, a total stranger to the President. He had a short conference with Lincoln. Just as the conference was about to end, Lincoln said: “Gen. Graut, I shall have the honor and pleasure tomorrow of presenting you with your on..
