— THE WOMAN'S REALM —

shingle bob; the spit curl.

With a short cut, women who've worn long locks definitely see the change which a new hair-do makes. That's good for the morale of a_woman who is tired of look- ing at her familiar self. For the woman with curly hair. the short cut involves no problem of care. But —- and here are the cons— women with naturally curly hair don't have many hair problems anyway. If you have hair which requires a permanent, remember that a short cut means that you'll be cutting off your permanent often. How often depends on how fast your hair grows.

Remember, too, that a short cut will rob you of variety. There isn't much you can do with it— but wear it short. And you may have to toss out those long-haired hats. They're not so apt to look well with cropped hair.

There's one more thing to keep in mind before you cut. Once it's done, there's no putting it back. You'll have to wait until the hair

grows back and resort in the

meantime. if you're really tiri-

happy, to phony hair pieces. HOLLYWOOD STARS G0

COSMOPOLITAN

Foreign stars seem to be lend-

ing a cosmopolitan air to Holly-

wood's social life. At a recent party Florence Marlyg imported front France, met 16-year-old

Frances Kato, newly arrived Ja- panese-Canadian beauty. Miss Marly graciously addressed Miss Kaio in Japanese. But Frances had to explain that slic grew tip in Canada, never learning the language of the Samurai. Nliss Marly drifted on, greeting other guests in Spanish, French, Port- uguese and German. Once she was overheard to say: “In Prague I read Aleksis Kivis ‘Seven Broth- ers‘ in Czech. It's a wonderful book. Does anyone know if I can get it in English?" Miss Marly may have come from France. but she's Czech by birth. She made many films in Germany and France, and she picked up Span- ish and Portuguese in South Am- erica, where her husband, Pierre Chenal, produces films and plays, chiefly in Buenos Aires.

It turned out. as we found in a letter received this morning from younger sister to Ellen, our namesake, now a student in an academy on the mainland that she much enjoyed the afternoon tea at Judy's. We found cause to ‘chuckle here and there along the lines of the interesting mis- sive, which as Jeanie said was “only characteristic of that age" altogether gay and whimsical and bright. No cloud can appear on these youthful horizons at least none that cannot be dispersed in the optimism of those years. One was aware that life is a glorious adventure to her, taken up at present not only with the vicis- situdes of furthering her educa- tion but also with the many in- cidentals that fall to a Co-ed. "Judy," she wrote, “was very kind. She has a dear little boy, a nice husband, and a sweet new little place, and we remained not

Pioneer Days In P. E. l.

By F. H. MacArthur

Women, as well as men, had t0 have brave hearts back in Pwfi" eer days. With their away all day in the woods, ‘or perhaps fishing eels at. some dis- tance from their homefi- "ml-her used frequently to be left alone with the children for two or three days together.

The forests were full of bears and other wild animals that prey- ed on the live stock and often sent Junior screaming into his mother's arms. And there were prowling Indians, some of them none too friendly, especially when they knew the head of the house was absent, or when under the influence of liquor.

These were but a few of the dangers that beset the lonely housewife as she went about her daily tasks. v

Once when Mrs. HERB’ 5111111‘ of Belfast was alonc with her two small children, a party of fuui- drunken Indians came to licr home and threatened to kill her if she did‘not hustle them a meal. Trembling with fear, the woman set about the task, when her hus- band suddenly put iii an appear- ance, and with loaded musket scared the red men away.

O O U

O another occasion one of the Indians returned to find Mrs. Smith in the attic with the child- ren. Henry Smith had gone fish- ing with a couple of friends and his wife knew he would not be home that night.

The Indian loo, apparently knew that Smith would not be home. for he started a series of "whoops" that nearly frightened the little ones out of their skin. The quick- witted woman pulled up the lad- der and then closed the trap leading to the attic.

For a time the red man amus- ed himself by searching every nook and corner of the humble shack. Then he ate a hearty meal, after which he secured a ladder from the near-by barn, ascended it to the little attic window, and started to raise the sash.

Mrs. Smith set the screaming baby in a safe corner and, hatchet in hand, crept. to the window, de- termined to give a good account of herself, come what might.

O O I

/

She waited lill the Indian had stuck his head through the open- ing; then, raising the hatchet higii above her head, she brought the weapon down with all the strength

she could muster, full on the dome of her enemy.

The Indian dropped to the ground like a ball of lead. lay there for fully fifteen minutes

before he was able to get to his feet and disappear into the forest.

It took plenty of guts to do what Mrs. Smith did, but iii this way the brave woman saved iter- self and her small childrui from God knows what fate.

there is considerable nial utrltion in different sections of Canada. Wartime surveys oi industries

gave a similar picture. Wliolc grain cereals, milk and vegetables are the foods most often neglected. People may think they are ade- qualcly fed because they are not. actually hiingri. Possibly they have lll"\'(‘l‘ known the feeling of optimum health and so do iohap-
