O.MK women cannot seem to do
without n confidante. They
must have somo ono to whom
they can tell their secrets.
And how absurd It Is that thoy should
think that any ono will keep It them
selves! Making confidences Is one of tho
most foolish practices' in which hu
man beings Indulge. It only leads, as
a rule, to vain regrets nud resolutions
never to ludulgovagaln. If theno re
nolvcs were kept, all would bo well,
hut unfortuuntcly women who havo
formed tho habit or imparting confi
dences never seem to profit by their
past experiences.
Tho habit Is formed In girlhood. Al
most every young girl has her Intimate
friend from whom no deed or oven
thought Is concealed. As tho girl grows
older alio often replaces her school
chum with other now confidantes, one
nt n time following after tho otlior, un
til nt thlrtv there Is qulto a formid
able urruy of women who lmc known
her every thought nnd care.
Can't you aco tho folly or making
confidences, girls? looking back over
tho years behind you, you will find
that the girls who were your best
friends four or flvo yenrs ngo arc
scarcely acquaintances now. The
friend to whom you now tell nil your
llttlo secrets will bo nlmoBt a strang
er flvo years from now.
You mny even (jimrrol with ynur
chum In tho mcnntlmo nnd make an
enemy Instead of a friend of hoi.
Think, then, of tho wenpon you aro
placing lu her hunds when you coulldo
your every thought to hor, a weapon
which sho may or may not use, but one
of your own making, nevertheless.
To bo sure, thoroimay bo no harm In
theso confidences, tlicro muy bo noth
ing which you think could act
against you. Hut If you at any tlmo
estrange tho affections of your coufli
dnnte you have no Idea what sho mny

2sdW badly In spring and early
summer as in autumn. The
scalp feels the overheating of winter
headgear and tho general system being
run down also affects It badly. Try
the effect of ventilation and sunning.
If possible let the hair down and sit
i a sunny window for half an hour,
t least, each day. If the windows can
'oe opened all the better. Frequently
run the Angers through the hair and
lift It out to Its full length to let the
air circulate freely through It. If you
havo grown careless about massaging
begin systematic movements for a
month or six weeks. One well-known
hair specialist declares that better re
sults are to be had by rubbing the
bead periodically for a month or six
weeks at a time and then stopping for
several weeks. An excellent move
ment to loosen the scalp and make It
flexible, also tone up the blood ves
sels, Is to clasp the bands flatly on
the top of the head and move them
back and forth on the scalp in a lino

In all that sixteen years Anna Nagy
has nover had a rest. Most of the time
she has held a baby In her arms, and
other babies have been tugging at her
skirts.
She has kept house for her family,
doing every bit of the manual labor
herself. She has fed a hungry husband
and seven hungry children and, when
she wasn't too tired to cat, she fed
herself.
