Hares another word to the wise about. the care of your hair. Anne Shirley, Star of RKO Radio's "Un- expected Uncle," says you must never, never but never -rub soap directly on your hair when giving 1t a shampoo. soap applied this way sticks like the dickens and you never can get it. out. Re- sult: your hair loses luster. never looks quite clean. and picks uu every particle of dust and soot in the alt‘. Anne advises a good llqUKi shampoo or-if you are I110 H181"- gctic kind-you can make your own.

The lorry, a monstrous shadow in the misty twilight, had backed slid- denly out of an unseen gateway. The road was niirroiv, with banks as high as those of a Devonshire 13313, Peggy, who was dzivinﬂ Bl about twenty-five miles an hour. saw in a flash that she could not p117- up in time to avoid a co‘.-

lisiOn.

She did the only thing possible-- put. her fool; down on the ac- celerator, The car leaped forward like s. live thing There was n. slight jar as the rear wing just touched the back of the lorry, then they were past and safe.

Peggy pulled up instantly, got out. and went. back n “Thai; was pretty bad driving. she said to the man in the lorry- “And why have you no rear light? It's past, lighting up time." The driver, an elderly-man, was far

more scared than P651231.

“I looked round before I started Miss, but I didn't. see anything com- ing. You ain't hurt, are you?’

“We are not. hurt but the ca!‘ wing is scratched. If you'd had a rear light I could have stoliped- I shall have to take your nunibcr."

"I shall lose my job if you do, Miss the man said in quiet despair. Peggy felt he was telling the truth.

‘Then I won't. report. it. But. let. t be a lesson to you."

“One I wont forget. Thank you, Miss, and goodnight.’

Miss Rives was still in a very shaky state when Peggy got into the car again. At the same tune she was fu;i of admiration for Peggy's presence of mind and quick action. She was. 1r nimble. still more impressed by the way in which Peggy had gone back to tackle the lorry driver.

"It's wonderful. 1 couldn't, have done it. I'd have been frightened to death."

"1 was scared all right," Peggy said with a laugh, "but. the man was for more scared than I. I told him 1 would not report him. Do you mind?"

"I dont mind. All I want is to get. home in. one P1668." She sat. up straight. "Miss Feicher." she went. on eagerly, "Do me a favour. Drive me home and lct me put you up for the night. You can telephone or wi.e to our landaoy. Please do." Peggy ct. in the clutch and sent. the car on slowly down the

hill

“It's kind of you, Miss Rivers, but. l have nothing with me.’

"I can lend you anything you want. And I'm all alone so there's no. need to dress for dinner.’

"Then I'll oome with pleasure," Peggy said frankly.

Miss Rivers house, Alderley, was on the opposite hill. It was not so large as Hound Court, but a for pleasanrcr place.

“It belonged w an architect who built. it himself." Miss Rivers told Peggy. “Ho died and I wok it over with all the furniture and pictures."

You can make it easily the pin-on way. You just pin pieces of fabric directly to the sofa, snip of! the excess material and sew piece to piccc.

To start, remove cushions and pin fabric to top-back with big pins. Pin it down over the inside-back and seat. of one section, allowing 4 inches for tuck-in between. Then trim around all the pins, leaving 1% inches for scams.

Now, working in the very same way, pin and trim other pieces of fabric to fit other back-and-seat sections-hand do likewise for front, arms, aides, back and cushions. Pin piece to piece, remove to basic. then try on.

Finish with I deep, gathered flounce—or a smart stiff one with corner kick-pleats.

WEAR EARMUFFS WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO BE BORED

Also By Their Use You Can Avoid Criticism Bad News Or Anything That You Do Not Want To Hear

It is said that Herbert Spencer, the eat Victorian scientist. alwm carried in his pocket a pair of earmuﬂs at. he would clap on when any one dared to differ with him on any subject. in order to shut out. their voices. Isn't that. a. grand idea, and wouldrrg you like to have some? t’: a. mink coat,

For who. or a new suit of college clothes, compared m ‘ muffler that. would make you deaf to the critic on your hearth and immune to the repeated? Nothing. For our ears are our most vuinerablq spot. They are the place where we are 1111151 easily wounded. It is through them that our vanity gels its death blow and our hearts receivq hurts from which they never recover. But. hm. tofore we have had no way by which We cou]; protect ourselves against s and arrow| of outrageous fortune. We couldn't. avoid hearing what our enemies said about us, nor what. those. who told us of our faults for our own good said to us. So there we were, and many a time and oft. we have agreed with Mr. Edison that deaf. ness is a blessing instead of a. curse because it , saves us from having to listen to so mavv things - - we don't want m hear. But the trouble with deafness is that it cuts us off from gossip, which is the spice of conver. satlon that ive do want to hear, and so there seemed no solution of an; trouble until Mr. Spencer devised the happy expedient. of the earniuiis which could be taken off and put on as the occasion demanded.

WE DON’T LIKE CRITICISM

when you think of it. it. is amazing how far-reaching and beneiioent are the possibilities of this homely little gadget. Indeed, it. is not too much to say that, properly adjusted and used, it is capable of solving almost. nil of the problems that vex humanity. For one thing. its ability to roniote happiness almost. staggers the imagination, for who of u; cou d be miserable or even down hearted in s. world that so far as we knew was giving us the glad hand and singing our praises?

The thing that. takes the joy out of life for most. of us is bein belit- tled, having fault found with our work our personal appearance c ticiud, our tastes siicercd at. and the knowledge forced on us at every turn that our fellow creatures rate us pretty low in the social scale. On the con- trary, nothing so ﬁlls the world with sunshine and roses as the voicc of the flabterer telling us how beautiful and wonderful and brilliant we are. Think, then. how haplpy we should be if we could listen entranced to the hymn of praise and c ap on our eurmuﬂs at the first discordant note!

‘The judicious use of earmuﬂs is the only practical solution of the divorce question, cver which moralists spend so much thought. and worry, It is useless to hope that a time will ever arrive when husbands and wives will see eye to eye on every subject and live together in perfect. harmony. Two people of different sex, with a different herdity, with a diffrent back- ground, will always diﬂer in their thoughts, beliefs, prejudices and tastes, and they will always argue and fight. over them.

ALL WOULD BE PEACEFUL

But all of tihese scenes could be avoided and the Dove of Peace roost perpetually on every hearthstone, if, when anv controversial subject came up, either one would reach for the earmuﬂs and hear none of the mean things the other said about his or her Judgment and stupidity. And con- sider what cordialiby would exist between a married couple in which the husband could automatically shut ofl.’ his wife's nagging, her criticism! of his table manners and her complaints that he never took her out any- where in the evenings, and in which the wife never had to listen to her husband's growls over the bills and his wonder why she could never make pies like his mother's.

And when we reflect upon the protection earmuﬂs would be against bores, we feel that they would be worth the price even though we had to mortgage the house to get them. As matters stand. with two defenseless ears, we are the helpless victims of every windbag that comes along We cannot choose but listen to the monolozist who tortures us by the hour by telling us how great and wonderful he is, how many miles lils car makes on a gallon of gas. or what a. wonderful cook she has and iill the details of her last. operation and what she said to the doctor and the doctor said to her.

Nor are we ever safe from the re fer who forces us to listen to the very story we have heard a hundred imes before. and we can onlv writlie and suffer under the agonics inflicted upon us bv amateur musicians ﬁnd elocutlonlsts. But. our salvation can be assured by having ever with us our handy earmuﬂs that we can put on at the first. sign of danger and so pass into a. place of silence and peace and our own entertaining thoughts.

The world owes much to Mr. Spencer's scientiﬁc discoveries, but. per- haps its greatest debt of gratitude to him is due him for his suggestion about the use of eiirmuffs.
