MILADY BEAUTIFUL | BY LOIS LEEDS. * % How to Dry Your Hair. » My dear Miss Leeds—l prefer to give my own shampoo at home but find the 1 drying tiresome, especially in the Win ! ter with hot towels, i Is It Injurious to dry the hair before ’ 0 small electric heater If one stands • or S feet away and does not allow It to become too hot? The electric driers are expensive and heavy to hold. What is the best and ; easiest way to dry their hair when the weather Is too cool for one to go out •f doors? Thank you. L. C. E. Answer —Drying the hair with any kind of artificial heat has a tendency to make the hair dry and brittle. How ever, when one Is In a hurry drying the hair with one of the dryers made for that purpose will not be harmful and there are several on the market which I don’t believe you would find too heavy to handle comfortably. The method of hair drying which I recommend as the best is by rubbing with towels. After the hair has been rinsed wring it out with the hands and wrap a warm towel around the hair; rub the hair in the towel until most of the mosisture is absorbed. Remove towel and massage the scalp for a few min utes. Apply another warm towel and when It has cooled remove towel and shake the hair well. Bend over at the i MENU FOR A DAY. * BREAKFAST.

I SUB ROSA BT MIMI. Three-Minute Boil. Whistler, the great artist, was once asked to use his influence in having a younger painter’s canvas exhibited in the salon. The artist did as requested, but when the picture was shown, the clouds were lying on the ground and the trees growing down from the sky. "Oh, Mr. Whistler.” cried the young dauber, “you’ve hung my painting up side down." , . “I know it,” replied the artist, “but if I’d hung it in the usual way. the committee wouldn’t have accepted it. That’s why I had to turn it around.” One can often get a truer impression of a landscape, painting or even a photograph by looking at It in this re versed order. , . There’s a sort of hour-glass principle in life which is usually passed by un noticed. The hour glass, or egg boiler, is a very accommodating contraption. After the sand has run dbwn and out from above we can reverse the glass and have it run up and in. That’s what we do when we want the egg to boil Just three minutes. It’s a good thing to turn a subject over in the mind to see how it looks on the other side. It's just as good a thing to turn it upside down to see how it looks from the reverse end. Almost every question has its reverse side and we can’t get the whole truth and see how it looks from the opposite end. That’s why we say, "It’s a poor rule that won’t work both ways.” A good rule and truth work in either direction, like the egg boiler or the ferry boat. Maybe you’re dissatisfied with your home, your job, your circle of friends. Yqp’ve looked them over ever so many times, but they don’t improve anv after observation. Well, turn them upside down, or look at them from the top. and they may look different. When Ina Claire, who is now Mrs. John Gilbert, flew across the continent, she said the most interesting sight was the State of Kansas. Ordinarily, we'd pick out the Rocky Mountains or the Great Lakes for beauty, but from the air this flat country with its com tassels looked most beautiful. We can reverse the order of view with our friends and relatives by taking a good look at them, an upside down one. Os course, you can’t ask your boy friend to walk on his hands just to see how he’d look with his feet in the air, but you can look him over in some new way; from head to foot, from foot to head. You work your cross-word puzzle vertically and horizontally. You can do the same with your personal problems. You can look at them in the usual way and then reverse the three-minute egg boiler and look at them the other way. (Copyright, 1939.) Paris Cables fm ". . . fitted jUji waistline ...

London FAMOUS LADY WISECRACKERS Swift’s Stella Was Not Only Witty. She Was Brave— She Killed a Burglar. BY J. F. GLASS. "RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN, THE PLAYWRIGHT. ONCE TOOK OUT HIS PURSE AS HE SAT BY THE FIRE AND FOUND IT WAS VERY HOT.” When Esther Johnson, the famous [ “Stella” of Jonathan Swift, was ex ; tremely ill, her physician said; “Madam, you are near the bottom of the hill, but we will endeavor to get you up again." She replied: “Doctor. I fear I will be . j out of breath before I get up to the top” Swift said of Stella that she had “the most and finest accomplishments of any person I ever knew of either sex. ■ It was observed by all her acquaintances that she never failed in company to , say the best thing that was said, who ever was by, yet her companions were i usually of" the best understanding in the kingdom.” Coming from Swift, who was himself I one of the great wits of his day, this was high tribute. Since “Stella” was also a beautiful woman, of the brunette type, one wonders why Jonathan did , not make her his wife, as he easily could have done. She was thrifty, while she was still a girl having saved 200 pounds from ; small gifts received from relatives and friends. To top off her good qualities she was brave. Once she shot and killed a burglar. Fortunately, Swift himself preserved some of her witticisms. Here are a few of them: Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the play wright, who was noted for his prodi gality, once took out his purse as he sat by the fire and found it was very hot. “The reason,” observed ‘Stella,’ “is that money burns your pocket." She called to her servants to find out , what smelled so badly In the kitchen. “We are making matches,” they re plied. “I have heard matches were made in heaven,” she said, “but by the brim stone. one would think they were made in hell.” A man had acted the fool In her com pany.

MipL TjHj RICE’S BREAD the loss of a child recently dead. A bishop in the company comforted him by saying the child had gone to heaven. “That is what grieves him,” quoth Stella, "because he will never see it there.” A clergyman of her acquaintance was notoriously untidy and dirty. But he affected to be extremely smart, espe cially at repartee. Once a member of the company, observing his finger nails, asked how they came to be so dirty. The clergyman was at a loss for a reply, but “Stella” said: “The doctor got his nails dirty by scratching him self.” This Jest was made in polite society, but it was the polite society of the early part of the eighteenth century.

Cook two sliced onions with two tablespoonfuls of coikistarch or flour and three tablespoonfuls of beef drip pings or other fat, stirring often, so that the onion will not burn. Add four cup fuls of white potatoes cut in one-fourth inch slices and two cupfuls of boiling water. Cook until the potatoes are soft.

Everyday Psychology BT DR. JESSK ft. STROWLS. From all I can learn from my friends, the new money doesn't seem to be a howling success. How some peoplfc like to get hold of the old bills! And how they hold on to them, preferring to part with the new money first. As one man puts It: “Give me the good old big bills.” A psychologist Is likely to explain the dislike for the new money on the basis of habit. He will say that we have our habits all set for the old money and that we find it hard to get a new set of habits established. Especially so, since at the present time the old and the new are circulating in about equal proportions. The old bills keep the old habits alive; the new bill habits are constantly coming in conflict with them. Now what about the man who wants the "good old big bills.” I suspect that the new money doesn’t seem to him to be worth as much as the old. Its very slse suggests a correspond ing shrinkage in purchasing value. And this suggestion breeds carelessness in expenditures, thus bearing out the con viction that a new dollar bill is not equal to one hundred cents, or twenty nickels. Os course, this feeling can all be laid at the door of habit and the confusion that results when a habit is not allowed to function. A feeling of emptiness or relative ill ease is instituted the very moment you tweak in upon accustomed ways of doing things. The emotional reaction which goes along with habit-formation and habit disturbance runs a little deeper into our souls that does mere habit.

This may be the beginning of your son’s last year at school. If it is, have a talk with him before he goes away to assume the honors and dignity or a senior. To be specific, talk over with him his future livelihood. Ask him his plans and his ambitions. Only too frequently young men have no plans about their future jobs, and they find themselves at commencement all at sea. A majority of them perhaps become bond salesmen or real estate brokers simply because they are fitted for no vocation and have no idea about vo cations for which they might be suited. This is not to say that real estate brokers or bond salesmen are dispen sable, or that their vocations are un desirable. It is simply to point out that many young men drift into these fields, and insurance may be added because they are dignified vocations re quiring only a command of English and an assortment of social contacts. It is not necessary to worry your boy about the awful responsibility of earn ing one’s living, nor should any son’s mother warn him about the pitfalls. He should merely be cautioned to consider in ample time the field into which he fits best, and the best way to find himself a position in that field. Every June there is a surplus of col lege graduates fitted for no special work, and willing to take anything "with a future." If your son can relief.
