the Hair
5 Properly
A Fetching Row of Curls Adds
Chic to the Afternoon Ensemble.
CURLS, swirls, combs and
switches have become a def
inite part of the feminine
toilette, as the modern woman
changes her coiffure as many
times as she changes her frock.
The arrangement of the hair
has much to do with enhancing
the beauty of the face and al
though a moderately short bob
adds a touch of perfection to the
strictly tailored ensemble the
tame coif appears decidedly out
of place when one's filmy dance
frock suggests loose fluffy waves
set into a long bob. This mode,
however, is far too frivolous for
everyday wear or when tailored
frocks are worn. Then too, if
you are waiting for your hair to
grow a trifle longer, you will be
happy to know more about the
clever arrangements of hair
shown at the top of the page, as
nothing mars the appearance of
the otherwise well-groomed
woman so much as straggly ends
of hair at the nape of the neck.
Beauty experts and fashion
hit are firm in their belief that
the truly long tresses are of the
far and distant past. Short hair,
whether it reaches to the shoul
ders or comes only to the lobes of
the ears, is best for beauty, com
fort and convenience. If the hair
is long enough it may be pinned
up into a soft knot at the nape
of the neck for daytime and
curled Into little ringlets for af
ternoon or evening wear.
When the hair is cut on shorter
lines however, the clever little
hair arrangements shown above
serve to cover up the short hair

line in back, besides addin;
variety and chic to the after
noon or evening coiffure
The ideal plaA is to wear the
hair at whichever length the hair
is most attractive and fitting for
your everyday needs, then for
formal or special occasions, vari
ous hair arrangements may be
pinned on so that the head as
sumes a new air of smartness
and distinction at sach appear
ance.
Tbe most flattering modes are
determined by studying the size
of the head in proportion to the
height of the body, the width of
the shoulders, the contour of the
face and the proportion of the
features. It is only by arranging
the hair in different ways and
observing the effect in a mirror
which reflects the full figure,
that the perfect coiffure may be
found.
If one wishes to appear shorts
er than one's actual height, one
may wear the hair flat over the
crown of the head and allow the
back arrangement to fall low on
the nape of the neck. The hair
at the sides should show just
enough fullness to balance the
head with the shoulders and the
rest of the body.
If an illusion of height is de
sired, the hair should be worn a
bit high over the crown of the
head and the curls, swirls or knot
should be placed a little higher.
A center part makes a round
oval face appear longer and less

round arid those who have a thin
face find the extreme side part
very effective.
The hair should be worn off the
the forehead when the face is
short and down over the fore
head if the face appears too
long.
A too-large nose can he made
to appear almost small if the hair
is arranged softly around the
face and well down on the nape
of the neck. So for this type,
too, the arrangements shown
above will prove effective.
In the first illustration shown
above, the neat curls worn low
on the back of the head conceal
the natural hairline and finish off
the perfect afternoon ensemble.
Curls add a note of youthfulne^s

hair arrangements. The heautv
of these hair pieces is that they
are simple to wear, for once ad
justed they are on until you re
move them.
Attached to the lining or base
of t:ach one of these airangi'
ments is a small vise-like comb
that is run through the hair, then
a little safety clasp fits over the
romh, clamping them securely In
place. The outer curia may he
pinned out over the ears or up
toward the crown of the head.
The second illustration—waves
replace curls, to give the new
note of sophistication which is
#o popular in modern hair ar
rangements for formal occa
sions. After tha safety combina
tion haa been adjusted and the
back arrangement pinned at the
desired angle, the ends may be
brought out over the cheeks or
allowed to fall in loose ringlets
over the ears. The hairline is
completely covered, and whether
the hairs are long enough to pin
up or too short to curl, makes
no difference, since the artificial
hair can be placed as low on the
neck as the contour of the head
permits.
If the natural side arrange
ment is desired, this same piece
of artificial hair may be made
to form two soft rolls across tha
back of the head, running from
ear to ear, or from the nape of
tha neck up toward the crown
of the head.
Tuck combs may be worn and
one on each side placed well to
wards the back of the head adds
a surprisingly lovely finish to the
coiffure. The little tuck combs
pictured above are of plain tor
toise shell, though more elabo
rate combs are made of amber,
ivory and tortise ahell set with
lovely jewels. The newest combs
have jewels to match the rings,
bracelets or necklaces and are
effective for evening or formal
occasions. So if the little combs
suit your particular type, don’t
fail to include them in your hair ,
accessories.

What’s Next in Fashions?

CM Early Easter does not
always see the first appear
ance of Spring apparel, for
_are many who enjoy throw
ing off the heavy furs of Winter
as soon as tha weather permits.
Leisurely shopping for lighter
raiment is a far more pleasant
matter than answering the hurry
call of necessity.
* The very first of the new Spring
elothes to interest the shopper,
from a personal viewpoint, is the
woolen ensemble. This is as
rsried as you please, fabrics
having much to do with instilling
novelty into the mode of coat,
akirt and blouse or coat and dress.
Pique velvet is a aort of
featherweight corduroy that is
very smart for sports clothes and
is used for tha long coat ensem
ble, not especially of sports genre.
Several new details are incorpo
rated in this for chic, as the
fringe motif on the silk blouse,
the bow tie at the waistline, the
low square neck, the very smart
and becoming new collars.
Particularly nice for Imme
diate wear are silk frocks
showing spring designs. Checked
canton crepe makes a one-two
piece dress, the skirt pleated and
the blouse having a convertible
neck-line. This may be had in
black and white, navy and gray,
maroon with tan or brown and
white.
A unique mint in black, blue,
brown or green makes another
attractive dress of two-piece styl
ing, youthful with a ruffled ves

clothes Ehe had taken to wearing
fince her association with * the

self which meant more—Jerry’s
love, or the admiration of the
girls and men at the office.
The answer was contained in
her changed appearance. Within
n few days Babs had discarded
the flimsy chiffon frocks that ex
posed so flagrantly her youthful
diarmr; instead she chose simple,
tailored dresses that were busi
nesslike and yet becoming. She
contented herself with a minimum
of cosmetic, arranged her hair
simply, and eliminated from her

Clothes may not make the man,
but that they do have an influ
ence on him cannot be doubted.
With the assumption of simple,
quiet clothes, Barbara took on a
new attitude toward her friends,
her co-workers. There was a
compelling: dignity about her that
inspired their respect, invited
their attention.
Babs worked harder than she
had ever done before, perhaps in
an efTort to prove to herself that
her “conversion" was the more
complete. What wa3 her surprise,
then, to discover on her desk one
morning a formal note from the
president of the organization,
asking that she stop in to s~e
him. The tears came to Bar
bara's eyes as she pictured a
stern rebuke for some imaginary
blunder—perhaps dismissal as a
result of it.
But she braced herself for the
interview, knowing that she
could rely upon Jerry not to con
on the door marked “M. A. Mc
Laughlin, President,” and en
tered in response to his “Come
in, please.”
“You wanted to see me, Mr.
McLaughlin,” she began timidly.
“Yes, Miss Donnes, I sent for
you because I don’t think I can
use you in the outer office any
longer.”
Barbara's heart sank. So she
was being fired. And just at the
time when everything else was
going so well. “Is there any
thing I’ve dope—” she began,
hoping to solicit an explanation
from McLaughlin.
He smiled. “Yes, Miss Donnes.
A great many things. For one,
you’ve proved yourself to be the
most efficient young woman on
the entire staff and I can’t af
ford to waste someone like that
on detail work. Beginning Mon
day you are to report in here—
I need a secretary like you."
Babs could hardly control her
excitement. “How wonderful !"
she exclaimed. “Thank yeu so
much, Mr. Md^aughlin."
That night she telephoned
Jerry at his mother’s home. “Dar
ling,” she exclaimed, “the most
wonderful thing's happened. l’U
tell you all about it later."
When Jerry met Kabs and
Lctty at “The Manse” that night
and Jerry had heard the good
news he assumed a very knowing
air. “Sec. young lady, what my
teachings have brought!” he ad
monished. “As a gay flapper
dancing her way through life you
are a dismal failure. But as soon
as you adopt a more natural atti
tude you are crowned with suc
cess. That’s what comes of
taking sane advice." And- he
hugged her as if to remove the
sting of the “I-told-you-so” atti
tude.
Pahs smiled In appreciation of
Jerry's cocky but justifiable pos
ture. ’’You’ll drive me to con
fess that you were right if you
don’t stop hugging me,” she said.
“I think it’s perfectly disgraceful
the way you make love to me
without so much as a ‘by your
leave.”
He pressed her to him tenderly
and kissed the golden hair. “If
you promise to stay the way you
are now I’ll promise—anything.
This is the way I love you most.”
“I promise.” she said. “For
ever and ever.”

r. Jf.
Clean your gas oven at least
once a month. Rub a woolen
clcth saturated with linseed oil
over the entire oven. This will
remove any rust. Next rub a
dry clean cloth over it. Wash
the burners and racks In hot
washing sods ami suds; turn on
tne oven burners ,and dry out
the range well before turning
them off. Then frequently, when
your range is slightly warm, rub
it with a doth slightly wet with
keresone and apply stove polish.
This will keep it bright, as will
also rubbing it with a piece of
old flannel each morning.

If it is tbe first time you have
