Articles of clothing, no, matter how old, should never be hung on nails. Even if the nail does not rust the material, it is bound to pull it out of shape and then cause o. nasty hole If you haven't a. regular clothes hook, place an empty spool over the nail so the clothing has some sort of protec-

Li.‘ BYRONIC BOB

The “Byronlc Bob," named after the author of "Don. Juan," is the latest thing in English women's hair styles.

I A modified version of tho “Eton brop," it features a long, luxuriant lock at the front which is waved to fall negligently across the brow at the side and over the crown in a manner which the Nineteenth Oentury girls found irresistible in Lord Byron.

Although the hair is still shorn close at the hack of the head and the nape of the neck, it is no longer considered stylish to carry the shorn effect to the sides of the head. The whole style is more girl- ish in that the wavy lock prevents the hard appearance which the “Eton crop" gave to even pretty laces.

Women are taking to the new Int because it is adaptable to sl- most every hat style. Hairdressers favor it because it requires even more frequent trimming than the ; ordinary shingle.

Put a. layer of “left-over" crusts oi bread into a basin, cover with milk and leave to soak.

Beat to a pulp, then, add two well-whisked eggs, together with two desscrtspoons brown sugar, a large cooking apple which has been chopped small after peeling and coring. a handful each of currents and sultanas, and about 2 table- spoons butter.

DON'T ATTEMPT T0 CONCOCT CREAMS AND LOTIONS AT HOME

Nowadays a beauty-minded wo- men doesn't have to mortgage the family silver to obtain an adequ- ate supply of cosmetic prepara- tions. It is possible to own enough really good beauty aids to keep hair healthy, skin clear and hands smooth without over-stepping, the budget.

Remember of course, that it is a. poor idea. indeed to buy cheap grade preparations. A small amount oi reliable cream, used regularly night after night, will be-infinitely more beneficial to your skin than a mediocre one, smeared on lavishly.

Don't try to concoct creams and lotions at home. You'll spend more than you think on the ingredients and it's probable that the result will be just about as successful as an attempt to make bar's oi cooking. chocolate fromraw cocoa beans. You haven't the right mixture and sifting facilities and since you own no testing equipment, you won't be able to tell whether or not the fin- ished product is right or wrong.

You can, of course. use inexpen- sive olive oil as a softener for hands and elbows as well as a treatment fm- your scalp. Plain witch hazel is a nice mild skin tonic. A stick of camphor ice is a. good pomade for dry or chapped lips.

The Juice of fresh lemons. dilut- ed with water, makes a rinse for your hair, bleach for your arms and hands, and a. pick-mc-up health drink before breakfast.

Egg and oatmeal masks cost practically nothing, yet they tight- en and clarify the skin satisfactori-

Y

There are many more kitchen shelf preparations, of course. and a good idea it is to make use of them, too, When it comes to creams, powder, rouge and lipstick, however, better buy them ready made from a manufacturer who has a reputa- tion for reliability.

The golden eagle is to birds what the lion is to beasts-king by virture of his sire and prowers.

Undoubtedly golden eagles are often credited with greater temerity than the average of the species. and consequently there are remarkeUe-reoorts of the courage and ferocity shown by individual. birds. A naturalist trying to train a yound golden eagle was sud- denly sttacked by his pupil and had his face badly injurled. In a deer forest in Rose-shire " ago, s ' .... waswalkingupahill- side with his.dog when a. golden eagle suddenly swooped down and attacked him savagely. Three times it returned to its attack in spite of ti; efforts of the keeper to beat it o

Yet there are moments when golden eagles are surprisingly cow- ardly. They have been known to flee from the onslaughfs of smaller birds than themselves. Recently s golden eagle was chased to its eyrie by a small merlin. '

Aged Mothers Become Problems and the Ut- most Tact is Necessary to Bring About ' the Solution of Their Care

Dear Miss Dix-I am a woman of s’! with two children, 12 and l8 years of age. My marriage is fair happy-or would be. except for the problem of my mother. She is 60 years old. a. widow, and beginning to fail in health. When L was married she was financially independent, but, due to fool- ish investment and general mismanagement she has lost every penny. Now I am living in luxury. My husband is very well ofl‘. but he absolutely refuses to help my mother. I have charge accounts everywhere. but I never have any money oi my own, so the most I can give my mother is a few dollars a month, say s10, and her clothes.

' ... _~-~/

I can't endure seeing my mother in dire need while 1 live in a. beautiful home with servants and cars. Once I tried bringing my mother to my home, but we were all miser- able because my husband treated her so in- sultingly- I have wondered if it is my duty to try to get a Job of some kind, although I

am completely without training, in order to give money tor my mother. This would wreck my married life because my husband would never for-

i . H would divorce me and take the children. But What 615% 5a‘: 1113b? e a nnaamnoxnu wmr. Answer:

The only solution that I see to your problem is for you to put your mother in some semicharitable institution where the cost of her maln- tenance would be so small that your husband would be Willing to pay it to save further family arguments. Perhaps your moflhor will obiwt W this arrangement, but it will hurt her pride less w be in a home for old ladies than it will be to be in your home knowing that her presence there is resented.

Your position is a peculiarly cruel one because you are torn between two duties, Your duty to your mother makes you want to fly t0 her aide and sacrifice everything in order to take care of her in her o.d age, but you have your duty also to your husband and children. and this nails Y0“ to our t.

yyoufii... oi going out into the world to work in order to slLPPOYT- your mother is a. beautiful gesture of filial devotion. It does honor to your heart, but your head must tell you that it is imPTiICWlB-blil." Y°u are middle-cg d. You are utterly untrained for any career and you could not in all pro ability get a job at all. You could not compete with the smart young girls who are just out of business coueses. and there is not a chance that you could make enough to Sliillmft Y0“! 5911'. W 51W “iii-hm! of your mother. So that plan is scrapped.

On the other hand. you have your duty to your children, which i5 greater than that to your mother. You will wreck their lives _if you break up their home and deprive .2111 or a mother's love and guidance. Your mother's life is nearly over. mrerrs is Just beginning and they need you now in their formative years more than they will ever need you again. so your duty is clear. It is to carry on, no matter at what cost to your self.

But what a cruel thing it is in a husband, what an unjust and das- tardly thing it is in him to refuse to let his wife help her old mother, and how little ne must value his wife's love and respect when he does the thing to her ‘that makes her see him as a selfish. grlnging tyrant with 11° thought for her happinem and no pity for helpless age,

‘The woman who has borne a. man Childri-‘ll; W110 1185 made him 5 comfortable home; who has been a. good wife and mother, is his partner and entitled- to some oi the money she has earned by doing the work of half-a-dozen servants. If she were wonking in any office or store in- stead of in her home, she would have her weakly pay envelope out of which she could support her old mother. And so the wife whose hli-i- band denies her a few dollars with which t0 help her family when theii need it is Justified in feeling that he is cheating her out of what is 1718i‘ own, and that he has no affection or tenderness for her.

Let us hope that something will soften your husband's hard heart and turn him from the error of his ways. Y DIX.

Dggg Mm; Dix-I am a young girl engaged to a. boy whom I love dear- ly and he loves me, but we are both afflicted with jealousy. When hc even so much as talks to another girl I go wild and Boy hateful, catty things which makes us both miserable. He does thesame way with me. though in a. milder form; Is there any way to overcome Jealousy?

S. AND J. Answer: '

I see by the newspapers that scientists in Vicnut claims he has found a cure for Jealousy. It consists in goinB on some peculiar diet, but what the diet consists of is not revealed, Maybe it is gall and Wormwood. Or per- haps it is one of these starvation diets that keeps you so concerned with the gnawings in your stomach you forget all about the pangs in YWI‘ heart.

I think the only cure for Jealousy is large doses of common sense re- peated as often as necessary, but there is no use in prescribing that for the victim of this dread disease because no one will ever try it. Per- hapa they can't, because they haven't got it, for no sane and reasonable person ever suffers from the Blow-filled mob-flier. -

Consider your own case. You sa_ you grow wild with Jealousy if your sweetheart even so much as talks wr h another gifl- Why. Y0“ $5! 11° loves you. Then why isn't it safe for him to talk to B!!!’ 81f! 0i‘ B11 m6 girls in the world if you are sure he prefers you t0 any one of them? Do you think he is a. liar and a cheat? Do you think you can't trust him? Do you think he is so weak that any slri could take him away from you? Do you think that you are so much inferior in attractions to other slrla that you cannot bear comparison with them? If you think your sweet-

why do you want him? 1f you think he is a fine honorable man, what are you afraid of?

Jealousy is the manifestation of an inferiority complex and it is also the sign of a mean and suspicious disposition. Think better of yourself and have faith in the one you love. There can be no happiness in a mar- riage in which there is not trust between a husband and wife.

. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix-How is a girl to know what is love? Two years ago 1 was madly in love with a man, but I was Jealous 0f him. Ifltlm Mid d6- manding all of his time. On the heights when with him. Down in the depths when away from him. We broke up. Now a man wants to marry me. He is a grand person, safe and dependable and very good to me. I am fond of him, but in a calm, peaceful sort of way, not demanding his time, not even Jealous. Do not feel like shouting it. to the world as I felt about the other one. Am I in love, or must there be all of those symp- toms I had for my former friend? PUZZLED Answer: ‘

Most people only experience the hysteria oi love once. It i5 only in our first love affair tirat we see the glory and tho circling wings; when we behold some commonpisc man or woman as a god or Boddess and thilm that we will die if we are parted even for a day from the beloved one.

After that we can love just as truly but more calmly. The flreworkl are over but the flre bums with a steady flame on the all-N‘. 8nd We 59° men and woman for what they are-no creatures of romance, but Just gguny human beings who, somcho , are the ones for us’ I should say that you spent your emotionalism on the first man. but 5'0“ l" Bivilld Y°l1r "l1 heart to the second.

as the import of the old lady's words sank into her stunned brain. When 'she had finished there was a long silence. Mother waited. Finally Sugar spoke. lifelessly.

"Myq-mother lmows?"

The old maid nodded sadly.

"She does, dear, and her heart is broken. You must try to love her. Surely you must realize that she has had a great cross to bear, all her life. Her happiness Wm ruined $0 Willis." a

Sugar covered her face with her hands. Mother thought she was cry- ing but when she looked up she saw her eyes were wide and dry.

“I—don't believe she is my moth- er," she said in a low tortured voice. "I would have known, no there would have been some feeling between us." '

Mother stood up and held out her arms.

“Come dear, leave it all to our Heavenly Father now. Helwill show us the way. You must go to your mother now." .

Sugar walked up the well rem- embered shiny stairs. When Mother opened the door, Jane Lee did not look as though she had moved from among her pillows. But she found the strength to hold out her arms.

With a strangled moan Sugar ran and fell by the bed, to bury her face in the covers. Mother went out softly and closed the door.
