WOMA Millinery for N'S PAGE. Little Girls BY MARY MARSHALL. Here is the latest fashion in millinery for little girls; It is a simple con- structed hat that may be made of white or pastel toned pique or from figured chintz. . The crown is made from pie-shaped sections stitched to- gether and the brim extends only | across the front and back to give a effect that is most becoming to thful faces. To make the crown cut your ma- terial into four ple-shaped sections about 7 inches deep and 6'; inches wide at the edge. The precise size will depend on the size of the little girl for whom the hat is made. Baste | the sides of the sections together to | make the crown, try it on and after | MILADY BEAUTIFU BY LOIS Scalp and Complexion. : Dear Miss Leeds: (1) My hair is| comng out in handfuls and I have | noticed that my scalp is very dry and | peels. Would the following solution be | helpful: One cup alcohol, five drops | quinine, one tablespoonful castor oil? | 2) My complexion is scaly and I have | whiteheads. What will Temedy this | condition? DINE. Answer: (1) A more oily scalp lotion would be better for your type of hair. The pecling you refer to is no doubt | dandruff. Loosen the dry scales with & clean, fine comb and brush them out. | Now apply warmed oil to scalp and hair. | For this purpose you may use a mixture of two ounces of olive oil and one dram coal oil. Tie your hair up in a towel or wear a rubber swimming cap rnight. Shampoo the next morning, using a tar-soap 1 uid if your hair not blonde or white. Lather or rinse five or six separate times. Be sure to ¢ all the soap. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Its subtle graciousness gives this fimy chiffon a distinctive air. It's smart for every formal daytime occasion. It's just perfect for evenings at the country club. And quite the smartest and ccolest dress for dining and dancing at fashionable restaurants in town. | The clever manipulation of seaming creates a charming slimness tbrough the hips. The pointed peplum is so | new and contributes further to its slimness. And don't you love the soft- ened cowl draped bodice and the flared slceves? And it's not a bit complicated to make it. in spite of its French origin. Style No. 3171 may be had in sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 years, 36 and 38 inches bust. %Size 16 requires 4!z yards 39-inch.

The brim is made in two sections. To make it, take any brimmed hat of the desired size and lay it on a paper and trace off the curve of the brim. Remember that the brim in this hat extends only across the side and front. It should be about two inches wide at, the front. Draw a brim section from your paper tracing, cut it out and use for a pattern. Make two of these sec- tions and stitch them together along the outside edge. Turn right side out, turn in the raw edges about Y4 inch and sew to the crown so that the upper | section of the brim comes over the crown end the under section of the brim comes under the crown. If you lik2 you may place the two sections | together right side out and finish the | edges with narrow seam binding. The ! back of the crown that is not finished with the brim should be turned under | and remmed or finished with the seam binding.

Never mind if some hairs come out. If they are not alive enough to stay in when brushed they should make | room for new growth. Every other | night apply the following scalp salve: One and one-half teaspoonfuls flowers of sulphur, two onces carbolated vaseline, ten grains quinine, one cunce olive oil, one ounce witchhazel. Use the oil treatment and sampoo twice a month. (2) Since scalp and complexion | both are dry, the fault may lic in lack of physical fitness.

Please send a stamped, addressed envelope with your request for this leaflet. The whiteheads are clogged oil glands, and their presence inaicates a sluggish skin. Proper clean- sing methods, as outlined in the leaflet just mentioned, wil help correct its cause. The whiteheads you already have should be opened with steriliz’d needle and the contents pressed out. Treat the fore and after the operation. LOIS LEEDS. Freckles. Dear Miss Leeds.—(1) I have a lot of freckles and have been using lemon cream for them without success. How can I remove them? (2) I am 16 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 117 pounds. Is that too heavy? FRECKLES. Answer—(1) It is not always pos- sible to remove freckles entirely, espe- cially in Summer time when one's face is 50 often exposed to the sunlight. All | much as possible and use a mild bleach | such as you are using. A suntin liquid | for your complexion and arms. Try a | simple bleaching lotion made of equal | parts of lemon juice, glycerin and rose- | water. This may be used-as a base for dry powder during the day and may aiso be applied after the skin is cleansed at bed time. Wash it off the next morning.

Within the last few years some ter- rifyingly curious, curiously terrifying books have appeared. Books which rep- resznt the flower of thought from the best minds of the day. The picture they present is one of utter despair in ever being able to. understand our universe. The astronomers are the most terri- fying. They speak of distance we can’t even begin to imagine. Whatever our home in space may be, we get the no- tion that our earth means practically nothing in comparison with the vast reaches out among the stars. A strange loneliness creeps upon us as we con- template the stars in the light of mod- ern astronomy. ‘The other terrifyingly great curiousity is urged by the biologists. This time the curlosity of science pushes us back on the calendar of time. Everything is hoary with age. It is no longer prac- tical to think in terms of millicns of years. Despite the fact that a million is beyond the average grasp, we are asked to think in terms of eons. What is an eon? We know practically noth- ing about our ancient ancestry. Our knowledge can at best be a guess. Al- most any guess is right. ‘The upshot of it all is this: Space and time, the very things with which we think we are most acquainted, turn out to be the most unapproachable in- finities.

She is much more a tease with men, much less worried about what they think of her, much more natural. So that working in office, shop or store becomes an_excellent social training.

The answers I should give today Don't come until tomorrow. DEAR MISS DIX—Recently a group of married men and women were discussing whether married life was fair or not. The men held that it was not fair to the men because the husband paid all the expenses of the woman he married and obligated himself to more than twice the living expenses he had when he was single, and as a result found that it was just twice as hard to save and get along. The men said that the wife got all the breaks because her work at home was light, so she passed the time away at the movies, bridge, etc., and they thought it was no more than fair that women should work outside of their homes and pay for hing, etc. thelr;:::(l;;m g1n the discussion couldn’t seem to find an answer, al- though they know that there is one somewhere.

N June, short, plump little greenish caterpillars, with Spots of black and yellow, climb the stems of all grasses. For days they have filled themselves with the tender leaves of low-growing plants, such as the clover, vetch and bird’s foot. Now it is time to make a change, and so they go strolling up the stem in search of & spot on which to build a snug little house where they may complete their growing-up safely. . They fasten the foundation to their spindle-shaped homes with a “stickem" that holds the cradle firmly to the stem. It is a glazed yellow with a paperlike texture. Inside of this little case the occupant is rocked by the breezes as he grows up. Later he peeps out of his little house and shortly afterward strolls forth either a Mr. or a Miss Bur- net Moth. Many of these creatures clinf to their discarded dwellings or crawl to a nearby flower while their wings expand. They are very lovely, indeed—of medium size and crimson markings. They make a pretty picture when grouped together on one blossom, hold- ing their “Quaker meetings,” for so still do they stand and so intent upon the business of the day are they that you can sever the stem of the flower and take the whole company along with you. Whatever they are concentrating upon, goes on. Being removed from their surroundings does not seem to disturb them in the least. Daisy, dandelion and thistle seem to be their favorite flower. The moths have dark-green bodies, slender feelers, threadlike logs and beautifully marked wings. The fore wings are dark green, with crimson spots in pairs on them, while the hind wings are crimson, edged with the same dark green. Their favorite places seem to be among the sand hills or near sea cliffs. There are several species. Some have more spots of crimson on the fore wings and others less. In one species the wings are transparent. These are found in Hampshire, England. As far as is known, the baby cater-| pillars do not eat enough of our clover leaves to be a problem, and their life story has not been one that has been studied as have many of the moth's children who do so much damage to our crops.

Little folk will pine away Uniess they have nce to play. -Mrs. Fleetfoot. Play is just as necessary for growing children as is food and drink. Truth to tell, a little play now and then is equally good for older folk. Kid Ante- lope and his twin sister had each other and their Mother to play with, but sometimes they wished for mew play- mates. Day after day they saw no one of their own kind. “Are we the only Antelopes?” asked the Kid one morning. “No indeed,” replied Mother prompt- ly. “There are others somewhere on the Broad Prairie and some day we will see them.” “WIill there be other kids for us to })l:ly with?” asked Kid Antelope wist~ ully. “I hope so,” replied Mother, “I am | quite sure there will be.” | .. “T hope 50, t00,” said Sister. 1S it you see mow?” Mrs. Fleetfoot was standing still with | her head held high, looking far across | the prairie. The twins held their heads | as high as they could and looked too. | “Did you see a flash way over there | Jjust then?” asked Mrs. Fleetfoot pres- ently. “I did,” replied the Kid promptly. “What was it?” “A signal,” replied Mother. “There it is again. Some one has seen us and is | signaling to us. We will go that way.” | She started off, but she didn’t hurry. | In fact she stopped every few steps for | a mouthful of grass, and she didn't go straight toward the place where they had seen the flashes and where they | continued to see them from time to time. Kid Antelope noticed that now and then his Mother's signal patch would flare out to its full size, but there was no musky odor, and so it did not mean danger. He guessed that she was | answering those distant signals. ‘After awhile he could see some tiny | specks where those signals came from | and a little later he could see two An- | telopes who looked very much like his | Mother, and with them, playing about, | were three kids. Young Antelopes are | called kids just as young Goats are. | Slowly they drew nearer, and at last | i they met. The big Antelopes were old | friends of Mrs. Fleetfoot's, and right | away they began to exchange news, | leaving the kids to get acquainted. | There was one pair of twins and one | who had no brothes or sister. | oo | “What | | At first there was much bashful Kid Antelope and his sister just UPON the shoulders of a young man| of 45, wha can talk with as much | ‘ease about paintings, operas and books as he can on problems of state, rests a great deal of the responsibility of seeing_thai Mexico and the United States continue their friendship.

He butied back, and all his shyness disappeared. In minutes they all were playing together as if they had always been acquainted. They pranced and gamboled about and chased each other around their Mothers and butted each other when they got the chance, all in fun you know. Meanwhiie the Mothers were talking things over and gossiping as Mothers will, but never forgetting to be con- stantly on the watch for possible dan- ger. “I think it will be wise for us to stay together from now on,” said Mrs. ~rez, Tzt e jl &]‘ ! “I _DID,” REPLIED THE KID PROMPTLY. “WHAT WAS IT?" Fleetfoot. “I have had one fight with Coyotes already. With three of us to- gether they are not likely to bother us and the children will be safer.” To this the other Mothers agreed. It would make the work of guarding the children so much easier. Besides they were tired of being alone. It was good to have company. Two days later an- other Mother with one Kid joined them and the next day still another with a pair of twins, So it was that Kid Antelope and his sister had playmates, and the little band of mothers and children wandered over the Broad Prairie and the Great World seemed a very wonderful and beautiful place.
