"Be natural" says the chaperone. "Be yourself. It is a mistake for a girl to become a victim to the - personality of another.

' v - . : t "-Hello girls," she greeted, Idss- .. lng several of the women effu . sively. t She rather ignored ' Charlotte, . brushing by her with a nod to give " herself an admiring glance In the : ' mirror as the maid came forward ' to remove her wrap.- - - f Charlotte held her breath. " JC wave of resentment,: a terrible . sense of . disappointment - suffused her as the petite colored maid drew ; the wrap fr6m Mrs. Pearson's . shoulders.: For -there. -staring at her in. agonizing reality, was a du plicate of her own frock.

With an embarrassing giggle, Florence Car son turned toward the two women ana , looxea tnem over with an amused expression. It was then that Mrs. Pearson realized the sit- -uation.

' - Can you smile, f and do you? . Most of us do not realise the value of a smile. We smile mechani cally, but even the mechanieal smile Is better than a constant dour ' expression. Ve never know when a smile will lighten the spirit of,4 another fellow human being. We may offer a smile quite without consciously attempting to impress another, and it may blindly reg ister the sunshine another heart is -seeking.

She wrote down " the i things she i could do and checked off the impossibilities. There was but a limited capital to be invested, .so the choice of a - gown shop,' millinery salon, etc was out of the question The woman had . always loved her home. She had. concentrated most ef .her ef fort on its decoratioils. She had a reputation inHher. neighborhood for turning out pemMtif uL lamp ehndea, , for selecting justtbe right, frame for a , picture -for knowinr jpood J ugs. and the wearing qualities of all household Supplies.

The tiny coverings snap ; and break ; off 'causingrf split hairs, prematurj graying and resulting m a coart j texture ..to the hair.' Of . course no matter how care -ful one may be in caring "for the hair itself in the daily brushing, ' combing and dressing, the scalp is the real foundation of hair health. When the - other precautions . are . taken one must consider the care of the scaln: It should be mas saged every day to loosen up the 1 'tissue and permit a free cifcula- ion Mo beneath, s Where th t circulation is poor there are any ; number 0f tdistrous results. ,Poor t circulation means dry- hair; oily . ;hair, dandruff, itchiness, etc These - may be remedied by regular ahanv pooing ana xne aaiiy massage. t .The shampoo; which I have de scribed in detail before, must be given at least once a month, and . possibly every week where the con dition requires it. If the scalp se cretes an excess of oil, once a week ' is not too often to eliminate this .
