B—19 Modern Efficiency Displayed in Impressive Line-Up of Cooking Utensils Electrical Equipment Proves Real Blessing To Many Households Especially Helpful in Summer When Living Quarters Must Be Kept as Cool as Possible. BY FRANCESCA McKENNEY. EOPLE may cry for the “good old days” when it comes to lovely furni- ture, art and hay rides, but never when it comes to the modern-day electrical cooking utensils! They are far too practical and convenient, besides being so very smart in design. Another appealing thing about them is that you really don't have to have a kitchen unless you want to, as they may be plugged in any where that there is an outlet for the current,. A boon to the housewife is the utensil that will cook a whole meal at one time, such as the electric casserole.«— In this vou place the meat at the | i, a0 Gie veactables, And 90 | on the order of creamed chip beef all O Dan s s ~ | at the same time!

If you would like an especially wide finish, you would sew the edging directly on the insertion.

Science comes to the rescue once again! Crownless Hat Bane or Blessing? Hair Suffers When Exposed to Too Much Sun. BY ELSIE PIERCE. S I told you yesterday, I expect the | crownless hat to result in more | good-looking heads, perfectly groomed, | artistically styled, youthfully colored. |'And, as I mentioned yesterday, if it | that this | | weren't for the challenge fashion makes to women to extend l\hems»lvcs in glorifying their crown- | ing glory, I would not be able to justify | the vogue. The crownless hat can be a blessing. It is & very good thing for the hair to get some air and sunshine. There's a cleansing, stir idating and revital- izing effect in such exvosure. Except when exposure is carried to extremes. Then, of course, the crownless hat becomes a bane to beauty. During the Spring and early part of Summer I do feel that the crownless hat is an asset. Then the sun's rays are not so direct and therefore not so strong. Mild sunshine and fresh air circulating through the hair and scalp, helping excess moisture, oil and perspiration odor to evaporate, it's all fine. But during the blistering dog days and light of the midday sun I'm all for wearing a crown-covering every inch of the way. An eye-shading, sun-protecting sombrero is not amiss. The wider the brim, the more closely it resembles an umbrella (fulfilling the same shady duties) the better. At the height of the Summer I see no sense in the crownless hats, other than to keep the hair in place, of course. But exposing the hair to the sun’s rays can be very detrimental, you know. The scalp is robbed of its natural oils, the hair is parched and dried, streaked, subject to loss of oil as well as color. Wise women know when to accept a challenge. They know that the crown- less hat is a conspiracy cooked up between fashion and beauty, calling for more brushing, shampooing, rins- ing, permanent waving, hair thinning, styling, glamorizing with color . . . in & word, general glorifying of the crowning glory. They know how to keep the challenge from becoming a curse—and it can became that: Mean- ing beauty lost instead of that much more beauty gained. Go easy on the sun and air exposure! (Copyright, 1937.) e g o Black and White. PARIS (#)—The Marquise Tor- rigiani has ordered a black broad- cloth tailleur from Lelong for Summer. The jacket is trimmed with arabes- ques of black velvet, edged with white, and has a U-shaped neck opening showing a shirred blouse of white chiffon.

They can be relied upon for light and aid always. There are mes. They make play ble, { d be & mass of confusion without m. Nobody could win and everybody would lose, which is the reason for the rules. Some children dislike the rules. They want to get beyond them, beat them somehow, not knowing that there is no way of beating a rule if it is an accepted rule. To be sure. one could cheat, but then, there's the end of the matter as far as the game is concerned. The cheater does not win the game because he doesn't play it. He is worse off than before be- cause added to the loss of the game is the loss of character. A cheater feels that loss keenly. He may try to hide it, but that is impossible. His loss cries aloud to high heaven and his companions leave him to his own griel. Good sportsmanship demands that the players of any game abide cheer- fully by the rules and take whatever luck comes in good part. But what or. who laid down the laws for good sportsmanship? The good players, those who understood the law that governs games and men. Play fair; abide by the rules; accept what comes, cheerfully. So you will achieve honor among men and a feeling of liking for yourself. A man cannot live happily and not like himself. Two warring spirits in one person scarcely have room for disagreement, you see, and there most certainly will be disagreement if a person, voung or old, offends himself by breaking the rules, any rules, that call for sportsmanlike obedience. Sometimes boys and girls think that rules are silly. Some of them may be, some are, most of them are essen- tial to the welfare and happiness of these very boys and girls. As they are highly inexperienced fn such mat- ters, and as it is difficult for their parents and teachers to explain the need and the value of many of these rules, it would be better for the chil- dren to accept the good will of their guardians, take their word for it and abide by the rules. Review a few of them and see. Speak the truth. No child would deny the rightness of that rule. Respect the property, the feeling, the rights, even the opinions of other people. ‘Why not? You want others to re- spect yours. Reverence the works of God. That means every living thing, every mysterious growth and power in Nature. It means your body and mind and the bodies and minds of other young people. A decent respect for the works of God will keep you from making regrettable mistakes and add greatly to your happiness. Respect for the aged; respect for the work of others; dealing as kindly with others as you would be dealt with in turn—these are rules of living that call for cheerful abedience and are rewarded by success and happi- ness. Learn the simple rules of living, and abide by them in school, at home, abroad, and you will be a succass wherever you go. (Copyright, 1937.)

Hats sufler the same fate, along with un- derwear, gloves, and perhaps even shoes or dresses.

Why don't you educators try to teach women some sense about how | to dress? H. F. Answer: Mainly, I suppose, because any one who knows anything about women knows that it would be an impossible undertaking. You might change s woman's religion or her politics or the color of her hair or the shape of her nose, but the one thing in her that you cannot change is her love of dress. Nor could you any more keep her from following the fashion than you could keep the sea- sons from following each other. Woman’s passion for clothes 1is atavistic. It is born in them and extends even to the grave. I have known women who had their shrouds made while they were in perfect health | in order that they might be assured that they would be becoming. Just recall that the first thing that the first woman did after she acquired knowledge was to make herself a dress, and every woman ever since has made clothes the principal in- terest of her life. *x 'HY women wear the freaky clothes do; why one year they will have skirts that trail on the ground and the next year skirts that show how knobby their knee joints are; why sometimes they wear dresses that are V in the front and C in the back and other times vice versa; why one season the waistline is under their arms and another time around their knees, no | one but the powers that made '.hflr‘ brains cut on the bias and sheared in the middle can tell. Nor does any one know why women who have intelligence and judgment and minds of their own in other matters will dress themselves just like other women, regardless of their weight or architecture and without reference to their own lines or complexion or hair, Yet we see it done every day and are forced to behold fat women | in plaids and thin women in stripes; old women in shorts and young girls in practically nothing at all because it is the fashion and all the others are | doing it.
