R WOMAN’S PAGE.’ Competent Filling of a Job BY LYDIA LF BARON WALKER. In this period when the unemploy- ment situation presents serious prob- lems, it is well for those who seek to holé down jobs, and for those who are trying’ to get work, to take a little in- ventory of their capabilities.

A person may be unfamiliar with the tails of work when new to a job. The rapidity and the ability of the worker in taking hold of the work are carefully watched.

The flare below the hipline persists, | but does not increase, and those who dare to predict assure us that there is practically no chance of an increased fullness of skirts. Straight pleats take care of the fullness in the majority of street dresses and suits, and the circu- lar flare when present at all in day- time dresses is never ted. In the meantime, slowly but the silhouette is becom! across the shoulders and above the walstline generally.

He told me he never wanted to see me again, and I replied the same. But I have found that I still care for him, and friends tell me that he misses me very much. If it were not for the fact that he has made a lot of money recently I would readily fall on my knees and ask him to®orgive me and take me back, but since he has I am afraid to try it. What would you do? QUESTIONING. Answer.—I would put my pride in my pocket and tell him that I had hesitated about asking his forgiveness because the fact that he was more prosperous might make him think that I was self-seeking, but that the ‘money didn't matter to me, that only he did and I had found I couldn’t live without him. Of course, it may be that he is still bitter toward you. He may even suspect your motive in seeking a reconciliation, but at any 1ate you will have done what you could to salvage your happiness. ‘Your case is another proof of the fact that husbands and wives who separate should not be permitted to file divorce action until after they have lived apart a year. That would save half of the wrecked homes and cut the divorce docket in two. For all that most quasreling husbands and wives need is just to be parted long enough to find out how trivial are the griev- ances they have against each other and how necessary they are to each other's happiness. 8o often the people we live with irritate us and get on our nerves until we feel that we cannot stand them and never want to see them again. Just the way John stirs his coffee makes Mary want to scream. Just the way Mary butters a slab of bread gives John nausea. Mary feels that she will die if she has to hear John's old stories another time, and John feels that all he asks of life is not to have to listen to Mary’s “mother says” again. So they quarrel and fight and break up their home, and then when they are parted they are both miserable because in spite of their faults they love each other. A six-month absence would prevent most divorces. You have tried it and you can't live without your husband, and he misses you, so go back and give him a chance to take you back. Eat the humble pie yourself. Per~ haps if you save his face for hlm.he. will forgive you. DOROTHY DIX. .. DIAR MISS DIX—We are a young couple who have been married two years and have one child. T want a little cottage and all that goes with it, and am willing to do without good times until we get a start in the world. But my husband wants good times now, and that means spending more money than we can afford. This difference of opinion is causing much unhappiness between us. What should we do? THRE WIFE. Answer.—Compromise. Work out a budget and put aside a certain amount for the cottage and a certain amount for the good times. Agree to abide by this rule and quit quarreling over the question. Of course, theoretically, you are right in wanting to save until you get a start in life and own your own home. But a wife must always take her husband's temperament into consideration, and that often con- founds all thecries and turns wisdom into foolishness. A pleasure-loving man is just as bound to have pleasure as he is to have bread to eat, and if his wife starves him for good times in order to save, she simply drives him. That is what you are in danger of doing by your nagging at him about spending money on enjoyment and by your incessant preaching of thrift to him. If you keep on doing it, you may get your cottage, but the chances are that you will not have any husband in it. It doesn’t always pay & wife to be too provident and too saving. It never does when she has one of the hail-fellow-well-met sort of husbands who like laughter and gayety and to be with pecxsle. Then her cnly chance is to go along with him and enter into his amusements and try to keep them within bounds. Don't forget that & wife can’t change her husband’s nature. The most she can do is to modify it. You can never persuade a man who is & con- genial optimist who believes that the sun will always shine into building a storm-proof house, but you can get him to buy an umbrella. DOROTHY DIX.

Newspapers are filled with the advertisements of various institutes which promise to grow hair on scalps shiny as billiard balls by a series of applications of ultraviolet rays from carbon &rc or quartz mercury vapor ps. ‘The investigators have tried these effects on the skin of human beings and on the skin of mice.

At the end of the four months there were just as many hairs in_the second eyebrow as in the first. ‘The great majority of women are also di as to the fact that cold cream may produce & hair on the skin where it is not wanted. A definite test as to this was made by Dr. Trotter and he found that the cold cream simply would not grow hair. en it is urged that either cold or heat will affect the growth of hair on the skin or on the head. Thus it is argued that colored people in the tropics have no hair on the surface of the body compared with the white race, but it is found that the Eskimo also is without hair and it seems reasonable previously visible. The hair is a tissue of the human body and when the body nutrition gen- erally is improved the nutrition of the hair is improved also. It has been found that the chief component of hair is keratin, which contains a chemical called cystin that is rich in sulphur. It occurred to Ger- man investigators to feed keratin to sheep to see if it would make the hair grow better. ‘The results indicate that the body needs for sulphur are such that the tissues generally get what they need, but there is no specially selective action by the blood to take this material to the hair and such feeding is not likely to produce a finer growth either in THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Loads of smartness is caught into this stunning little plaided crepe silk in soft green coloring.

Sensitiveness is a disposition pure and simple. By this I mean a tendency to be easily and fully disturbed by and every external influence. So fluenced, those who are sensitive begin to get nervous. Later on they may stampede and lose all orientation to their surroundings. At such times, sensitiveness is to be condemned. Go below this common understanding of the term. Sensitiveness is funda- mentally a sign of intelligence. And by intelligence I mean an ability to see what's going on. Nature carries out & plan whereby those of its creatures that are destined to live most and to contribute most must also sense most, must be highly sensitive, Superiority is not attainable ‘without sensitivity or irritability. That's why geniuses as a rule suffer from in- somnia, indigestion and sometimes in- sanity. In fact, the much talked of “in- sanity of genius” appears to be nothing other than the flowering out of a highly sensitive set of nerves. The be- havior of a gentus is bound to be erratic at _times. ‘The sensitive person is always on the alert. That's why great painters see details in & landscape which the in- sensitive cannot recognize even after they are reproduced. A good art critic must be an artist himself, so far as the nervous system is concerned. ‘The same is true of the superior mu- sician. He senses tone differences that ordinary mortals never detect.
