Concerning Bobbed Hair
Dear Cvntll'AThArA tinvn 1mn mnnV
problems discussed pro nnd con In your
I'uiuiMu mo -ianco proDiem, Kin
problem, "boy" problem, otc. but ns
yet no one has probed Into the problem
that promises to bother some of our
Hrls -namely, the bobbed-hair problem.
I havo read with amused Interest In
the papers that various concerns In
other cities, and some In our own Phtln
delphln, are censuring tho short-hnlrcd
sin, nnu Kra compelling ner to wear nair
nets until her tresses Brow long enough
to "put up." Now. Isn't that the silliest
thing you ever heard?
What difference does It make In a
girl's Intelligence whether her hair
reaches to her waist or Is clipped? I
have worn my hair short for four years,
and I find It Is more sanitary, easier to
take care of and easier to keep neat
I do not have to spend so much time
combing nnd arranging It before start
ing to work In tho oulce na tho rest of
Din girls do, and then It Is becoming.
I havo known some very "thick" girls
with long hair and some very clever
one with bobbed hatr. I suppose this
new "wrinkle" wan thought up by somo
ugly old maid who1 couldn't wear bobbed
hair If she tried.
What have the readers and contribu
tors to the column to say about It?
"Dill UA11 BOD."
Worki fop Parenta
Dear Cynthia Some peoplo ay work

hard work for n son. I never believed
It till now. Being twenty yenrs old I
was tied down till then, when I became
sick. I was sent away and thero I met
fellows who tell me I've been wrong
working at home. Now we have ft little
money nnd I Just spent all my money
to get better. A month ago I went
home and my father had no uie for mo,
statins" I wns too weak. I did not be
lieve him. so I cot a Job firing nn engine
on the railroad, which Is hard work.
Here I nm, henlthler, stronger an3
heavier. Now he wants mo back. Should
I go?
Of course, having no lady friend, be
cause being a little afraid to tell girls
I am a working fellow, I don't bother.
To my sorrow, If I'm home in the eve
nings, doing nothing, "he finds work
for me."
Do you think I should stay home and
see If I can find some girl who would
like my spare time? H. O.
It's usually better to stay homo If a
person has a htrme. At the same time
you ought to have a perfectly clear,
rair ana square uuiness arrangement
with your father, who should give you
tne same salary nc wouia nave to give
a stranger.
By all means make, friends with the
girls.
She's Puzzled
Dear Cynthia You have helped many
others out with their problems and I
would appreciate it very much It you
would help me.
I am a girl nineteen and havo been
going with a boy of twenty-twd Blnce
last January. Sometimes I seo him
four times a week and then again I
might not see htm for two weeks,
owing to the fact that I have other en
gagements. He calls me on the tele
phone once a week If I tell him hi'
cannot come down to seo me, and will
talk to mn for about an hour. Now to
como down to business, I really lovo
this fellow, but hato to admit It even
to myself, because he never told me
he loved me. When I am out with him
he tells mo that I don't care It ho cornea
to see mo or not, and thnt I only go
out with him for pity's sake. I have
told him he was wrong In thinking so,
but ho Insist that he Is not. He Is
always asking me to kiss him good
night, and. of course, I refuse. While
I never kissed any fellow I would kl'i
him In a minute If he only aald he cared
for me. He does not, still I think he
does. I don't know why I think this,
but I do. Sometimes I wonder why he
comes to see mo at all.
One night we were at a danco and
he kept telling me to stop flirting, and
I wasn't looking at any one In par
ticular. That same night I heard sev
eral of hi boy friends tell him ho had
some good-looking girl, nnd he said, "I
know It and so does she." I did not pay
any attention to this, becauso I am not
conceited. I am as good-looking as tho
majority of girls, but no one would
ever stop to look nt mo twice.
Ho Is a very good-locking young
man, well educated nnd a wonderful
dancer and I think somewhat con
ceited. Cynthin, I love him, hut I don't know
If I should keep on going with him or
not. Please tell mo what to do?
PUZZLED.
Why not keep on going with him? Ho
has done nothing to cause you dis
pleasure. Next time he asks you to kiss him
ask him why. Perhaps he will tell you
he cares for you then. He may be shy
and think you like some ime else.

There isn't nny. That Is tho only answer hairdressers give. Individ

there's a knack even in doing this
"Woman seems to bo going through
a period ot individuality In everything
personal," snys one authority. "If she
can't wear short sleeves, she wears
them long. If she can't wear her
skirts extremely short, she wenrs them
the length that suits her. If the bouf
fant skirts don't become her, she wenrs
the scnut and clinging frock. If sho
feels better in low-heeled shoes, she
wears them that is, the conservative
woman. Of course, wc will have with

the fashion regardless of figure and face

"And so it is with hnirdress. For a

"Women certainly nre taking much

Orny-hnlred women particularly realise
they can make their hnlr extremely at

"I don't think the full ear exposure

she has to be of a distinctive foreign

What the Old Chef

Helpful Suggestions Tliat Maltc Work in Kitchen Easier- A
Neat Way to Make Bread Crumbs How to Clean Casseroles
Ry MRS. M. A. WILSON
CopvHoM, tstl, tv Ur: it, A. Wilson.
JLV risftfi rttervtiC
USE the alarm clock when cooking
and baking. If certain dishes re
quire twenty or thirty minutes, set the
alarm when they nre placed in the oven
to cook nnd the alarm will ring the
time when they arc finished. Also set
the clock to the hour needed for the
time to begin tho preparations for the
menl. This will iircvent lateness or
hurriedly cooked mcnls.
Reserve the white of one egg when
making custards for meringues. It ndds
to the nppcarance of the 'custard. The
Caledonian crcura makes a splendid
meringue.
To clean the casserole of particles of
food which ore burned or bits of baked
food which cling persistently to the top
pln'c tho dish in n deep pan of sonpy
we'er nnd let it soak overnight, then
uso the scrubbing brush nnd cleanse
thoroughly.
When making brend crumbs, by put
ting the dried bread through a food
chopper, slip the largo size bag over the
chopper nnd fasten to tho rhopper with
a couple of rubber bands. This prevents
the crumbs from making a mess of
things.
The old chef brings to this corner
several new nnd original recipes from
his own private recipe book.

. Robbing is still going on, but the
first enthusiasm has died down some
what.
There are n number of things to con
sider in the matter of arriving nt the
most becoming style. The wholo con
tour of the hend. front, back nnd sides,
the breadth of the face nnd its length.
Tnke a woman with a high forehead,
with lines, perhaps, and n shortened
lower half of the face, pull her hair
straight back in n high roll, and Bhe
loses out on her best trick. .She should
shorten the breadth of the forehead by
bringing the hnlr down on it.
On tho other hnnd, if n woman has
a lovely forehead and nn intriguing
widow's peak her best bet is to show
both at ono and nt the same time.
Some women hide a lovely hairline
nt the bnck of the neck by wearing a
figure eight on its downward path.
This low dressing of the hair requires
n long, slender neck, never n short or
doublo-rhinncd one. It serves to make
one nil the more squat and unstylish.
There nro little twists nnd curves of
the hnlr that have to be worked out on
the individual face, and no set rules
can be laid down. The thing is that
you want to ploy up your best features
and hide the less attractive ones. It
you hnve the pntlcnce nnd n knock for
the plnnlngs and catching up of hnlr
here nnd there, you enn work out the
prettiest style for your particular face
before your own mirror.

Wants to Be Fatter
To the Editor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam I will nnnrcclate It
very much If vou could klndlv hln me
with this. I nm a young girl of nine
teen and I nm very thin. I have thin

1t nnd when to use It. Would sweet
cream maKo mo fat?
NINETEEN.
Rub cocoa buttor upon your legs
dally, exercise either by swimming,
dancing or walking nnd eat plenty of
wholeaomo food at regular hours. Bi
cycling strengthens the muscles In your
legs and you can do this without a bi
cycle by lying down nnd hoisting your
legs In the air. If you eat more you
will get fatter nil over and It will bo
much more becoming. Sweet cream Is
a fattening food, but milk Is quite as
good.
Adventures With a Purse
THERE is n book I hnve rend, n col
lection of short stories, which In
troduces us to the Orient in a wny wo
never would think of. To me the
Chinaman wan some one who chased bad
boys with a threatening iron nnd who
presided over his counter with a bland
expression nnd a mechanical. "No
chcckle, no slilrtle." Hut the writer of
this book tells us tho Chinaman Im n
human being even ns you 3lnd I
with a soul nnd n heart with a capacity
to love. With gifted pen aro written
stories of blue nnd silver nights, of
fair-hair moon blossoms; nnd nlthough
a weird strain runs throughout, each
story is n gem, n delight. The book sells
for $2, and to own it Is n pleasure.
End-of-the-senson 'sales nre being
held In nil tho stores, and everywhere
I go I see remnrkable reductions. One
of the shops has n dark blue voile frock

If you can't wear silk underwear

In one of the stores. They arc mnde
of pale pink batiste and are gathered

Lillian Finds Herself Interesting,
but She Overdoes Her Enthusiasm
Everybody Gets Tired of Hearing About Her Sweaters, Hcr
Diving, Her Clothes, Hcr Feelings and Herself
TyfARIE has just spent n week-end
"Mn the .country which might have
been very pleasant.
But, instead of remembering todnjr
how green thp trees were, nnd how good
the fresh vegetables t were, how cool
nnd refreshing the lake wns, or how
wonderful a time sho had at the danco
on Saturday night, sho has visions of
various .other things.
She enjoyed nil these but the green
of the trees recalls the wool that Lillian
was going to buy for n sweater, the
fresh vegetables bring back n picture
of a whole dinner table entertained by
Lillian's description of how she made
her last sweater, the sleeves having
been mado so short that she had lu
pretend they were short slcoves.
The memory of tho Inke Is obscured
by Lillian's fervent explanations of
why she didn't dive well, how well she
dived yesterday, nnd how she meant to
dive perfectly tomorrow.
The danco on Saturday night might
havo been perfect. There was n nice
little moon out over the hills, the nir
wns fresh and cool, the floor splendid
nnd the music oh that music 1
But after each dance, Lllllnn's voice
could be heard, from the porch, from
the ballroom, from the hall outside,
or from the tennis courts in front ot
the clubhouse, explaining something
important about herself.
How sho was really learning to play
a pretty good game ot tennis now:
how she hadn't wanted to wear that
dress tonight, but it wns the only one
she bndn't worn n dozen times, nnd
Mother Insisted so, becnusc Mip liked
It: how she nlwayB got hot when she
danced nnd her hair always felt ns if
it were just ready to come down : how
a number of other things happened to
her, were thought nnd done by her and

Read Your Character
By Digby Phillips
No. 2.V-Coarse Sliln
If you want to influence a conrse
skinned mnn be enrcful not to get emo
tional or hysterical nbout it, for these
things will probably only irritate him.
You enn be sure they won't command
his sympathy.
Ry the same token you're likely to
get little out of a coarse-skinned woman
by the mere earnestness nnd vehemence
of your appeal.
You have to look pretty closely nt
skin to determine whether it is coarse
or not. It's not a question of cal
loused hnnds. or of roughncsn due to
exposure. It's more n matter of the
fiber of the skin itself, of the pores, If
upon close inspection you can see the
pores easily, nnd they nre large, you're
looking nt a coarse-skinned person,
Lnrgc pores show up readily around
the nose. It's a good place to look for
them.
Of course, there mny bo other things
thnt modify the story told by the conrac
skin In the Individual, but if other
things nre equal you'll say that it is n
decided Indication of less than average
sympathy. And sympathy, it should
be understood, is the ability or the
proclivity to imngine yourself in nil
other's position, nnd to nppreclate
keenly the feelings under which they
labor.
Coarse-skinned people nre somcwhnt
lacking in ibis ability, though they mny
have n keen sense of justice nnd very
high Idenls. And not being sensitive
themselves they nre more than usually
prone to hurt the feelings of those who
nre more sensitive tfinn themselves, and
further, to tnke it rather calmly when
they lenrn they have done so. For the
rest they're likely to hnve rather sound
