For R!ucUnt Curb
V, buv tbe summer time la a"yir-
rioie uma tor atraignt locaa:
It la quit bad enough in tbe
sweltering city, but when jt comes to
the tantalising dampness of the sea
side, then doaa tbe straight-locked
lady throw up tba spnnge. Obviously
It is a precious few of the fair sex wbo
can do without soma suspicion of a
curl and slill appear at all charming.
Titst. to begin with, It Is tbe oily
head that suffers most. Bcgo,
rect the condition aa far as It lies
wltbfn your power to do so. One way
to correct tha condition speedily is to
use a dry shampoo oner or twice a
week. Equal parts of cornmeal and
orris roof make an excellent remedy.
Objection In frequently raised against
the dry shampoo in the erroneous be
lief that It clogs the pores of tbe scalp.
Verily It does, If misapplied Vou see.
tbe idea In using the dry shampoo la
to rid the hair and not the . scalp of
tbe exeeaa oil. ' Therefore, the ad
monition to keep tbe preparation away
from tbe scalp Itself. It should be ap
plied wltb. a puff to separate strsnda
of tbe bair and then thoroughly brush
ed out.. If tha use of tbe dry shampoo
la still objectionable, there la a lotion
tbe dally application of which tends
to correct tba troublesome condition
of excesa all. Two ounces of alcohol.
. two of witch hasel and reeorcln four
teen gralna abouid be rubbed well Into
the acalp.
Then for'' the curling Itaetf, there ara
several reliable ways of inducing It
' First tbaxf la tbe use of soap, just a
wee bit of it on the dampened locks
to Insure results when the hair le "put
up" In kids or paper. Second, there is
the use of can de cologne applied in
the same way. And then there is
' quincesiied that old reliable of grand
mother's day. The quiuceased fluid ia
made aa follows: Ve a tablespoonful
of tbe areds to a pint of bet water.
Tbe water Is poured over tbe aeeds
and the whole is allowed to stand for
several lioura. Tbe resultant mucil
age may be thinned wltb a few drops
of essence of violet. Tha hair is
moistened with the fluid before curl
ing. So you see, Absolute straightness
and Incidental unbecomlngncss may
aw samr-died to some extent

How to Stand
A LESSON which every child should
be taught to memorise and of
equal value with time tablea and
spelling cbarta Is the secret of correct
posture. A simple description of tha
correct way to atand ia given by aa
export of posture aa the following:
Feet Irmly'planted on tha ground,
with the weight forward on the balla
of the feet, uaing the heals for bal-
n fat orAivht . 1 1 . 1 1 v Mtrihut

straight. Htpa neither too far back
nor too far forward; stomach drawn
In. but not with an effort, rather the
result of correct hip and cnest posi
tion. Chestbone held high; breathing
from the diaphragm (the large muscle
between the chest and abdomen).
Neck erect aa if pushing the back of
the neck against a high, stiff collar,
the chin lifted snd the eyes forward.
It would b a sood plan to make the
child recite thia each day, carrying
out the details of tbe posture aa be
ONVALE8CENCE Is a time of
golden opportunity. Not every
woman haa the leisure to giye
really fastidious attention to groom
ing, but nearly every woman bas at
some time in even the busiest lifea
period of getting well again when
there must be no exertion either men
tal or physical. So tbe wise woman
raiher than spend that time wonder
ing juat bow soon she w ill be on her
feet again, or worrying alK)ut the
things waiting to be done, amusea
herself by making herself pretty.
Hair, nails, complexion, figure all
suffer when one is abed for any pro
tracted length of time. Inactivity,
you know. Is ruinous to the health of
living organisms. And so It behooves
tba convalescent to start gentle ac
tivity in. nails, hair, complexion and
muscle, while ahe wait.
It la positive fun to file the nail in
to pretty oral, to push back the cut

takes such a very llttf time, too.

WHY IS AN AFFINITY
LADY asked me the other day
U.y men are so prone to seek fe- th manicure wlllglvw vastly better
' male companionship outside - the
home, why the honeymoon is so often
followed by a lapse of love, why, in
short, affinities play so large a part in
the lives of men?
The answer is not far to seek. It
is because wives encourage their hus
bands to seek affinities.
Yes; I mean just that '
Of course, every wife will deny it, re
sent it, will hold me in scorn for sug
gesting it ; yet it is true. Not openly,
but none the less surely,- wives invite
their husbands to seek affinities. .
The thing which attracts a young ma
to the girl whom he makes his wife it
her personal appearance. It is not her
character, her intellect, her disposition
'These things may come later to hold
him to the girl of his choice, but the
primary attraction was her beauty, 01
what appealed to him as beauty.
In that degree which, she holds fast
thia attraction, she may hope to hold bis
ove. Whenever she relaxes her effort
to retain that attraction, she invites
competition with the odds all against
her.
The jarffe who ttempts to save her
husband's money at the expense of her
personal attractiveness, is the loser
always. It were better for her peace
and happiness that she make heavy in
roads upon his income than that she
suffer th slightest draft upon her per
sonal charm.

But the brushing Is one of the things
tkeft the invalid cant very well do by
herself. She might, though, give her
self a scalp massage for about five
minutes every night. It doesn't take
much time assuredly, or too much ef
fort, and it ia so generous in its re
ward. But If "nurse" is w filing to do
it so much tbe better.
