LE EES AS CA SSA EC,
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
We are apt to measure ourselves by our
aspiration instead of our performance. But,
in truth, the conduct of our lives is only
the proof of the sincerity of our hearts.—
George Eliot,
The poets always have been partial
to hair—and have given it some pretty
good write-ups too. But strangely
enough it’s the hair specialists, in
their practical way, who have given
it real glory. The poets, you see, per-
sisted all along in thinking of beauti-
ful hair as beautiful privilege (with
heroines’ rights reserved) while the
specialists worked on a theory of dis-
tribution which aimed to grow good
hair on every woman’s head. And
with all due respect to the poets, for
whom I have the greatest admiration,
I am glad to see that their theory is
being supplanted—in prose.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the general standard in head cover-
ings 1s 'way above what it was. Wom-
en know lots more about hair than
they ever used to. They spend much
more time and thought on it. And
they get results. ;
We may thank the bob for much of
this improvement in hair, for it was
the bob that made us all hair conscious.
We were faced with the decision
of bobbing or not bobbing. We talked
it over and under, we decided it pro
and con. At every tea table the ques-
tion was settled for someone. And
all the time the general subject of the
hair was kept alive among us.
We bobbed, perhaps—and still we
had to think about our hair. For the
sleek, well-groomed effect that came
in with the bob has certainly demand-
ed attention. More brushing, more
massaging, more meticulous grooming
has gone into our bobs than most of
us dreamed of when we decided to let
the barber’s shears cut through our
hair problems.
And if we didn’t bob, our state was
not much better; for before us was
the example of all these sleek shorn
heads. Ours too must be small and
elegant. Ours too must be sleek. And
good heavens, how much work we
found it.
The results, however, have been
worth all the money and effort that
have, in the last year or so, gone into
our hair. We all look neater, better
groomed. And the best part of it is
that all this furore has not only im-
proved the outward appearance of our
hair but has, inevitably, also improved
its healthy condition.
We've learned a lot about brushing
and massaging and tonic-ing; about
waving; about hair dressing; about
contour; and about becomingness.
The bob as an agitating question
of the day has passed along with wom-
an suffrage and the ol
But the bob as an individual pre-
ference has remained. And the help-
ful by-product of bobbing—the better
care of the hair—has remained also.
I say that the bob as a crisis is past
and by that I merely mean that prac-
tically all of the potential bobbers
have already done it. Those who
found it made them younger, smarter
and better-looking will, I fancy, re-
main bobbed indefinitely—or at least
till a fashion equally flattering tempts
them to go back to the long-haired
state. Those who found it a bad ex-
periment are wisely letting their hair
grow out. And along with them you'll
find also a good many others—fashion-
able folk who want the latest, irre-
spective of comfort and regardless of
flattering effect.
For the growers-out, there are
pleasant ways and means. Hair to pin
on and hide the ugly lower edges
of the bob. Transformations which
cover all deficiencies. Don’t think
alarmedly of the interval between
long and short as a period of retire-
ment from the world. The people
whose business it is to make your
heads beautiful on the outside have
arranged for everything.
One of the things we take much
more seriously and do much more suc-
cessfully than we used to is shampoo-
ing. We've found that methods of
washing the hair have real effects on
its health and its beauty.
- A hair specialist in whom I have
great confidence says that the hair
should always be washed twice in the
process of one shampoo; once for
cleanliness, once for beauty. She
lathers the hair, scrubs it completely
and repeatedly rinses it. Then she
goes all over the whole process again.
And it’s this second washing, so it
seems, that puts on the shine.
Of course you know the value of
thorough rinsing. The stickiness,
gumminess and generally poor ap-
pearance of hair after the shampoo is
often due to the fact that all the soap
has not been rinsed out. It is said also
that soap left on the scalp will en-
courage the formation of that scaly
dead skin which we know as dandruff.
Two other facts that you want to
keep in mind in Shampooing are, first,
that a cake of soap should never be
rubbed on the hair; (if you use soap,
cook it into a jelly); and, second, that
the newer idea is to finish the rinsing
with warmish water—it apparently
makes the hair lighter and fluffier
ng if you use cold water at the fin-
is >
In shampooing (or massaging) be
careful to use the balls of the fingers,
so that there will be no danger of the
nails scratching or infecting the scalp.
The ‘hair should be thoroughly
combed and brushed before shampoo-
ing, but after the shampoo do not put
comb or brush to it until it is dry. Do
not dry your hair in hot, direct sun-
light. Fresh air is fine for it, but the
direct rays of the sun are apt to streak
it. The scalp should be rubbed dry
with a towel and the head massaged
gently and the hair {ossed about until
it is dry, Many good specialists use
the hot-air dryer.
There’s a new shompoo that has
just been put on the market by some
very good scalp specialists in New
York. It is an olive oil, castile prepa-
ration which is, as you know, a gentle
and effective cleanser and gives the
scandals.’
The Moral Law.
What is it? Come now—you are an intelligent citizen—just what is
the moral law? Where is it written and who promulgated it?
All great writers mention it and appeal to it; it forms a large part of
the stock in trade of philosophers; all shades of religion claim it as in-
separable from their faith.
But when you come to analyze it you will find it indefinite and hazy.
It is a tremendous reality, yes, but the form thereof who can declare?
Are you thinking of the Ten Commandments? The Moral Law is far
older than they are. Is the superb but much ignored Constitution of the
United States a part of it?
Deny it if you dare!
Is the Eighteenth
amendment—pshaw! Let us not be frivolous.
Our social customs are the shadow of this law, and it is a sad fact
that multitudes of the unenlightened mistake the shadow for the sub-
stance.
Is it perhaps only a high sounding expression for what we have al-
ways known as “conscience” —that innate sense of right and wrong, of
good and evil? They are, it seems to me, very closely related if not iden-
tical.
But conscience is not invariable nor everywhere the same.
The con-
science of an Australian bushman is not like ours; could we behold it as a
bodily shape we would flout it as “a thing of rags and patches.”
Noth-
ing is plainer than that conscience varies with times and places. It can
be educated; it can be refined; it can also retrograde.
And so we arrive at a fairly correct view of the matter.
The moral
law is as old as mankind. As soon as men cohered in groups and clans it
was there; anything conducive to the safety and well-being of the clan
was right; the opposite was wrong.
The clan had to act as one man in
hunting food and in fighting or fleeing from enemies; the recalcitrant and
stragglers suffered death. A rude and simple law it was, but effective—
and so far, good.
When scarcity of game compelled men to gradually adopt agriculture,
the wandering clans settled down to more or less permanent abodes, and
slowly, very slowly, something like what we call civilization was achiev-
ed. Duties and obligations multiplied, and the primitive moral law grew
more complex.
Long before this, however, man’s fear of the aspects and forces of
nature—storms, thunders, waves, glacial cold, comets and eclipses, seis-
mic shocks and terrific volcanic eruptions—induced the cult of the super-
natural. The gods had to be reckoned with; to appease their anger and
win their favor became the paramount concern of men. The will of the
gods was thus interwoven with the moral law and § ave it the mystical
character which it retains to this day.
Was it Immanuel Kant who said he was filled with awe when con-
templating these two things:
law within?
The starry heavens above and the moral
This invisible law, only partially, never fully expressed,
persisting from age to age and from country to country, we too may well
venerate and follow. Crude and imperfect at first, it grew to such prom-
inence that a great political and religious leader endeavored to codify and
engrave it on tables of stone for the guidance of his people; the Hebrew
prophets enlarged and refined it; the Greek philosophers, Socrates es-
pecially, discussed and taught it; the Chinese and Hindus of old had
knowledge of it; Jesus of Nazareth reaffirmed it and gave it a new inter-
pretation and vitality beyond the possibility of human betterment.
So let it be—the law of love—now written in our hearts and by us to
be transmitted to all our friends and enemies alike.
does not demand and force obedience by any violence whatever.

You
cannot put it into an amendment to the Constitution; such an attempt
would surely result only in mutilation.

hair a lustrous, clean and healthy
look after the'shampoo. ¥-
Over-shampooing is to be discour-
aged. Hair, of course, must be wash-
ed when it is dirty, but you can, if you
will, prevent it from becoming so dir-
ty that it needs over-shampooing. A
good hairbrush, intelligently used, is a
help. The hair should be brushed not
only over the top surface but also
from underneath, upward and out-
ward with firm, even strokes. Be-
tween strokes, wipe off the bristles of
your brush on a clean towel.
The use of a tonic adapted to the
particular needs of your scalp is a
cleanly habit that I recommend. The
tonic is applied to the scalp and along
the hair with bits of cotton. If care-
fully prescribed by a specialist who
understands your particular scalp con-
dition, it will not only cleanse but also
act as a corrective and beautifier.
A tonic for dry hair that many bus-
iness women like has the pleasant
quality of not making the hair sticky-
looking. If used at night, its outward
effects have disappeared by morning
without the aid of a shampoo. This
is an advantage to women who must
be up and out at business or who hate
keeping social engagements under a
sticky halo.
To the tight, dry, brain-worker’s
scalp, I especially commend massage
to loosen up the old bone-bound head-
covering and set the blood dancing.
You can buy this from a skilled mas-
seuse and it’s a beautiful, restful way
to spend money. But failing this op-
portunity, it is perfectly possible to
massage your own scalp at home.
A good massage method is as fol-
lows: Sit down in a low-backed easy-
chair. Rest your elbows on your
dressing table if that’s more comfort-
able. Loosen your hair. Slip both
hands with extended fingers up
through the hair at the sides back of
the ears and grasp the scalp firmly.
(You can get the best results by work-
ing on the theory that the scalp and
the hands should move together). Us-
ing the whole hand, palm and finger
tips, gently but firmly move the scalp
over the bony structure. A rotary
motion is most effective. Progress to
the top of the head. Then start in
front of the ears and work upward in
the same way. Never slide the hands
over the scalp or rub hard.
The massage is, of course, a heap
more potent if used along with the
proper tonic. : :
Hair, like hats, should do nice things
for your face; so the question of how
you should wear your hair is not so
much a question of fashion as of nose
and chin, I should never urge, in a
“sleek” season, ringlets over the ears.
On the other hand, I think every wom-
an should reserve the right to make of
herself an exception if it serves her
face to do so. The ideal hair arrange-
ment is so simple that with slight con- | q
cessions to the mode it is not only al-
ways becoming but also always suf-
ficiently in fashion.
Just now the chic woman, especially
is wearing a!
if her hair is black,
smooth, straight or flatly marcelled
coiffure. If her hair is short it is
shaped to her head by clever under-
cutting, discreet waving or religious
brushing. If long, the knot is usually
worn low. The horizontal figure-eight
roll or flat, cross-over coiffure, or the
round low knot are all ‘possible. ‘In
front the hair may go straight back
or be parted in the center or at one
side. The side part seems most in fa-
vor. Ears, if good, are often allowed
out, especially in the evening.
_ A bit of hair dressing such as bril-
liantine is frequently used to set the
marcel or to give to sleek, brushed
Jusight hair that flat and shining
ook.
For the woman who is neith-
er Greekly beautiful nor Frenchly ug-
ly—with that piquant ugliness that
may dare anything—I advise not too
severe a coiffure. Light hair; thin
hair, lank hair, the pretty face and the
tired face need fluff. The water wave
1s increasing in honor; and if your
hair has any inclination toward cur-
liness it is wonderful what you can do
with a few combs. The term water
wave, however, is getting to be rather
a misnomer, for hairdressers mostly
recormend using some sort of lotion
Which will not dry out the hair like
water.
For instance, there’s an excellent
vegetable compound which helps to set
the waves in hair that is inclined to
curl, and also acts as a beautifully
decorative dressing for the hair. This
lotion, incidentally, is made by a per-
manent-wave specialist in New York
and used in his establishment for set-
ting the waves with combs in perma-
nently waved hair.
The permanent wave apparently has
not been affected by the popularity of
sleek hair. There are so many, many
women who simply cannot wear their
hair straight. And, besides, the per-
manent has been perfected to such a
degree that it no longer implies fuz-
ziness, as it once did. In fact, they've
got to the point where they can really
do a clever imitation of the marcel.
And they tell me that the day is not
far off when they will put in a marcel
effect that’s not only good-looking,
but that will last as long as a perma-
nently waved round curl.
My last word to you, however, must
be anything but partisan. For I do
not ally myself with the permanents
or with the straights. I take sides
with neither the shorts nor the longs.
Methods must suit the case.
But back into dusty oblivion have
passed the “straggles” and the
“strings.” Every woman must hold
up her head to the critical gaze of a
critical world.—Weoman’s Home Com-
panion.
——*“Is this a speedometer?” she
asked as she tapped on the glass
which covered that instrument.
“Yes, dear,” I replied in a sweet,
gentle voice.
“Don’t they call this the dash
light?” she queried, fingering the
little nickel-plated illuminator.
“Yes, honey,” my words floated out
softly as before.
“And is this the cut-out?” she in-
uired.
“Yes, Toodles,” as 1 took my foot
off the accelerator. Not more then
200 feet away our course was blocked
by a fast moving train.
“But what on earth is this funny
looking pedal?” she said in curious
tone, as she gave the accelerator a
vigorus push with her dainty foot.
_ “This sweetheart is’ heaven,” I said
in a soft, celestial voice, as I picked a
gold harp and flew away.
