WOMAN'S PAGE. Attention to Trifles Required BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘The lttle things that combine to make up what is known as “order” are often so trivial that they seem scarcely worth doing or paying attention to. Wet it is the ommission of just these wery small details that causes disorder. It a person once this, the in- -unlgim. trifles become significant. ;hly assume new proportions. the per- rmance of them becomes important.

Pirst your hair is washed most thor- oughly, to make it as clean as possible, and rinsed most thoroughly so no alkall from the soap remains in it. Then the still wet hair is divided into thin strands and each one is twisted round a curler. Here is where your money counts, for a good shop will employ skilled people, and skill is needed to wind the hair properly. Most use the half-twist meth- od and flat winding as well. (Flat winding needs a little finger waving after the shampoo each time for real beauty.) Once wound, spools are put over the curlers and the heating begins. There days little borax is used, some use an oll process. Heat need not be applied more than 15 minutes. Don't let it be. If they tell you it takes longer for your hair, go to a shop with newer methods. The worst of permanent waving used to be that the long steaming harmed the hair. But 15 minutes is all right, and some heads take less than 10. ‘What really happens is that the char- acter of the hair is changed. Real wavy hair takes up moisture and curls; this steaming process so opens the cells of each hair that they stay open and take in moisture, while the winding fixes thg‘n in a nicely done wave to begin with. After the spools have been removed, the curlers unwound, the hair is washed again and set in place with a finger wave. To keep a permanent nice look- ing, you must before every single sham- poo use a lot of olive oil. Otherwise the hair looks crisp and dull after the washing. But by using ever so much oil on the scalp some hours before the shampoo, your permanent will have no bad effects and your scalp will be healthy. V. G.—Gray hair at 18 years of age shows there is something wrong eXther with your nervous system or your scalp. Better have a specialist examine your scalp, and he should also know if the trouble is coming from your general health. Mrs. J. K—Henna alone will not give you an auburn shade. To get that you would need to have some dye added. Mrs. A. F.—If you have any tendency to grow hair on the face or throat I would not advise using lanoline or any- thing else except a cream made from fine vegetable olls, or the ofls by them- selves. If you have the formulas for the fine cream and the one for the cleansing cream you should have_ all your needs supplied with these. The | fine cream 15 also a very nourishing one. Baked Steak. | Pound half a cupful of flour into both | sides of one medium sized slice of round | steak, then fry the steak until brown in a little grease. Completely cover with several cupfuls of hot water. Cover the skillet with a cover and put into the oven. Bake very slowly for 30| minutes, Add four white potatoes which have been peeled and quartered, and add one bunch of whole carrots that have been peeled. Season all with salt | and pepper, and continue to bake for | another 30 minutes, or until the meat | and vegetables are done and a thick gravy has formed. .

She found small containers or cases of enameled metal which were quite the thing for bottles of liquids. They came in three sized. ‘The mefal screw top had a small cork for padding the inside top. The glass-stoppered bottle which fitted into each case could be used for perfume, astringent or toilet water. . Specially woven bags for shoes kept them from scuffing and soiling other things in the trunk or bag. A commodious handbag with zipper top held pencil, pen, address book, pow- der compact, change, billfold and nu- merous other small things.

Checking further on her list, she found she had supplied herself with two pairs of light-weight wool stockings, a slipover sweater, a top coat. Her shoes were rubber heeled.
