HEIIK are so many soft, pretty
ways to dress tho hair at present
that any woiiran, no matter how
unattractive her face, ran mate-
! rially alter the contour of her face and
; ; i soften, hard lines by a becoming coiffure.
I . When I see a plain little woman with her
f . . .... hair drawn tightly back into a compact
i knot, I feel like pleading with her to al-
" low me to dress her hah- to let me take
avt least ten years from, her age. Two
i , things a woman no longer young Should
remember are that the hair must cover,
partly at least, the ears and come rather
' low on the forehead. The fashion of
;! hairdressfflg today requires that these
. two pcints be observed by the young
. Ipeople as welL What Is more trying to
a. face, old or young, than to have above
i It the hard, rigid line of a hat, with
nary a stray whisp or curl to fall from
r under It? It Is interesting to note that
a .-elderly roan recently said that he
k recalled the time 'when It was eon-
, Bldered immodest for a woman to allow
- even the tips of her ears to show. If
thh be true, I wish there were more
modest women today. They would look
eo much , prettier.
Now, there's that oft, low pompadour
, for the busy bee the fcuslnees girl. The
rrangement Is almost classic in its
simplicity, , and yet -there is nothing
, hard, plain or tight about it. On the
contrary, it softens the face wonderfully.
t . This coiffure la nore easily managed
. If one has naturally wavy hair. Sepa
rate the front hair from the, back and
comb the front hair Into a?oft, low
jwmpadSur (falling ' loosely over 1 the
ears, and fasten at the back of the head
. rather low down with a hairpin. Then
; ' comb the pompadour and the back hair
5 . together and pin Into a loose, firm coil
Lor double-twisted figure eight ' The .
short ends at side and front are
twl8te4 by the fingers Into tiny ring
lets if the hair is naturally curly. The
Iron or crimpers will of course, have
to be used If the hair has to be arti
ficially waved and curled. Crimpers
, "will not harm the hair Xf one is care
ful to use only those that do not cut
or catcft In the strands. The Iron
should be used only m cases of emer
s r geney and then most carefully. Very
small crimpers could be used to curl
the short ends, and so form the ring-v..-.
lets. If fw-tan put a net upon the
- ; - coiffure artfully, so that It is almost
' v impossible to detect its presence, I
would advise you to do so. This would
keep you "tidy" for business hours.
: -Bo sure, however, to conjee only the
' long wisps, for the tiny ringlets must
be allowed to creep -under the edge of

1 A girl of your age and height
should wedgh from 11B to 130 pounds.
S. If you wish to relieve the ollv con
dition of your skin you should avoid all
rich and creasy, foods, for diet has a
threat luBusnca on tha condition of the
the net or the "softening" effect Bit
much desired Is lost.
Tho modified figure-eight arrangement
containing the large shell pins is a,
graceful fashion. The hair is separated
as In the coiffure firpt described; that Is,
tho front from the back. In this In
stance, however, the hair is parted
slightly tS'one side, and is then drawn
hack low over the ears. The bacik hair
and the ends of the shies are then
combed together. This same loose hair
is then evenly divided, the upper from
the lower. The lower part is made
Into a plait and pinned so as to form a
complete circle about the back of fne
head and also about the upper part
of the looso hair which is not yet ar
ranged. The loose hair thus surrounded by
the braid resembles a horse's tall. This
"tall" is then twisted about in a dou
ble figure eight and pinned in the cen
ter of the braid. Unless the hair is
quite luxuriant, a switch will have to
bo used for the braid. Two large shell
pins ornament either side of the braid.
You will notice that the smaller halr
pinsdo not show. Pins that are not'
prnamiental should ' never be allowed
to tnar the appearance of any hair ar
rangement. Always they uhould be
concealed as nearly as passible. Also,
tho hair should always be braided or
arranged with as much looseness as
is consistent with firmness. The looser
tlie hair, the thicker it appears, the
softer it looks. Not only that, it is
really a nvatter of hygiene. It is de
sirable for iboth health and cleanlinss?
that the' be allowed to circulate
through the hair freely, and this It
cannot do if the hair is twisted Into a
tljht coll or knot. It is better to wear
a net to keep down stray ends than
to plaster them to the head by a tight
arrangement.
For the maid or woman who objects
to even a moderately elaborate coll, such
as the figure elglrt, for business, there
is the neat hsaijied coll. The hair may
be parted on the side or in the cen
ter;, the front, separated from the back,
is drawn down over the ears, in much
the same fashion as the first-mentioned
coiffure. The ends of the sides and the,
tack are then combed into one. After
the hair is thus combed together. It is
divided down Jhe center and two braids
are made. These are then shaped into
the braided knot, the .toraidg crossing
and being twisted in opposite directions
and interlapping each other. As it is
diflicult to keep the hairpins from
showing in a braided knot, it is best to
x;sf shell pins. They are not so ln
artistio as the wire ones. -
skfn. An occasional application of di
luted alcohol or of witch hazel will
prove beneficial.
To whiten the akin and make dt smooth
use equal parts of lemon juice and
glycerin and add a little benzoin to the'
lotion. Tills lotion may be applied
daily.

Trouble With the Eves
tear ilrs. Symes. " " ""
My eyes have bea giving me much
trouble lately. Do you think this is be
cause I read ?n the car? K. P.
I feel quite sure that your habit is re
sponsible to quite an extent. The way in
which we all abuse our, eyes, which are
jo delicate and so important. Is serimla. .
Tou should be careful to have the tight
fay from the left, side 'while reading,--
It 13 'well to remember that no mat
ter how beautiful a coiffure arrange
ment may be it must suit the face or
it cannot bo worn successfully. It la
also well to change the style of halr
tiresslng f reriue.ntly, so that different
parts-of the scalp and hair will be ex
posed to the light and air, anl to guard
against bald spots caused by the pins.
If tho 'hair is worn parted it' is al
ways well to make a different part each
morning from that worn the day be
'' fore. i
A pretty fashion of arranging the hair
for the wearing of a bandeau is the
side part and low coil. The small ring
lets, whlcili keep the part from being
too decided', can be made with Che iron
or tiny crimpers. After the hair Is ar
ranged place the bandeau about the
, head and pull the ringlets from under
.lt.
For the trlrl whose face Is long there
is the low modified rsydhe knot. 6epa
rati the front hair from he back Just
behind the ears. Roll thJ back Into .
one long, firm puff tand Jir it length
wise on the back of tho head near the
nape of the neck. Part the front hair
in the center and draw It loosely back,
endeavoring to cover the ears. After
the coiffure is completely arranged you
may pull the hair still further over the
ears with the comb, pinning It in posi
tion at trfe side of the knot.
Tho side hair 'is fastened at each side
of a back puff with shell pins, to hold" '
it in place. The ends are then loosely
colled in fanciful little twists, that run
along path sido of the large puffs.
Bring the front hair well down over
the forehead, especially if the forehead
be high.
The high arrangement of tha hair is
for the girl with the round face. It
is siiltafble for afternoon or evening.
Again, the hair is waved and parted
on tJie side. The front hair,' too. Is
separated from the back hair behind
the ears. The back Is drawn up in a
long puff to form tho beginning of a
Psyche knot The extreme ends are not
wound into the puff, but are left, pro
jecting about two Inches. These ends
are afterward curled. The sides are
drawn up and the ends of the same are
wrapped about the Psyche. The ex
treme ends are left free for about two
inches and curled. The little curls are.
then pinned gracefully about the knot
with small pins. Two large shell pins
ornament tho knot and help to hold it
firmly.
I am sure that you can fix your hair
becomingly by following one of these
attractive arrangements.

printed books and papers. Never read,
write or sew while lying down. It is
bad to read while feeling physically
tired. You cannot be too careful of
your eyes. Stop reading on the car for
a while and see if there is not an im

still suffer, you should consult a reliable
oculist.

In the future try to use rainwater for

THE GOLDEN" SILENCE
AM going to speak to you today
about the value of 'being able to keep
silent. It Is so much better to have'
nothing to regret in the way of words
than to wish that your tongue had not
been so eager to voice thoughts that
were hasty and foolish. It is better not
to be ashamed at the recollection of un
kind, unnecessary words.
In the matter of passing; along the
word of the gossip, you cannot be too
careful. The repeating of a little bit of
scandal that has very little foundation,
If you would but take the trouble to in
vestigate, is one of the most unkind
things that you can do. . I am always
sorry for a group of young women who
have no topic of conversation and must
resort to the passing along of untruths
that will positively harm the discussed
person, who, of course, is not present to
defend herself.
Have you ever made an unkind retort
to an innocent question? And after
you 'have done ithe damage, all the re
grets in the world were not able to re
call it or wipe out the harm that had,
been done. The unkind question is an
other thing th every one Bhould learn
to curb and to relegate to tho golden
silence. One day I heard a woman ask
where the husband of another was, and
there was an embarrassing silence be
fore the reply was made that he was In
prison. It was, impertinent, and I sin
cerely hope that the questioner was as
uncomfortable as the little woman who
was unfertunate enough to 'be compelled
to support herself. That is, of course,
not the usual type of thing that occurs
j ' iti J Jr !!",
in everyday me, but it might happen,
u uu.u urcvci vife.fv vmoD'l ,l
you were the offender,
In a quarrel it is much more dignified
to observe a silence- and allow the
other one to .forget himself or herself
and to have all the regrets. In this
kind of an experience, which is not un
usual in family or business life, there
is auch a chance tbt4ose the. self-control
and poise that we value. so highly
that a firmer hold on the wish to say
something must be kept if you would
have nothing to regret. Borne persons
will say that it would be foolish, to re
fuse to answer In an altercation, but
It is my opinion that it is far more
..foolish to say ..too much In a manner
that you ycurself would- not recognize.'
The golden siilence is particularly
worth Us weight in precious metal when
you do not know what ryou are talking
shout. - Keen aufet in l Alartiwulnn u
you have to admit Uiat you don't know .
very mireh about the topto of discussion - - . -
and that you have based your opinions ,.',,,
a!-V
An
Dr9'd at the back
on chance facts and hearsay, which,
have a very unsound foundation. It is
better to be, a good listener than an
ignorant talker. Never put yourself In
the light of being Just a talker wlthi
nothing to say.
Sometimes a frieni will be the victim
of misfortune and it were better for
her to forget, or at least not to be re
' minded of It,' until greater, strength has
been acquired. If a friend is grief
.strlcken and shows that Che mention of
the sorrow will bring back the trouble
with disturbing 7o!gnancy, by all
means do not speak about it. .- If you
wish to express your sympathy write
a llttlonote, to be received when a loss
of self-conrol will not be so embarass
inar. .
in the matter of that much-desired
thing whifch we call popularity, there
is a great temptation for young women
to boast of the number of social en
gagements that have filled their calen
dars. It is not unusual to hear a girl
talk of the number of bouquets she hasf
had sent to her during the dance sea
son; this same girl will wonder out "loud
what she is going to do with all the
requests from gentlemen to take her
to the theater, musical es. receptions and
dances. It Is really a vulgar flaunting
of popularity and is a mark of ill breed
ing. When you are unfortunate enough to
have made a mistake in the choice of
a nance, and you have found out in
time, the golden silence should be your
rule of conduct. Say nothing about
the cause of the breaking of the engage
ment. A dignified reticence will be far
better than endless talking about a
thing that is over and. that is an affair,
between you and one other.
Remember thfe silence that Is golden.
.It will maMe you wise and happy many,
many times in a day. .
