And blossoms most radiantly when

others die-

Heullh, hope, and youth, and brief prosperity;

And with ilic light and "odor of its bloom

Shining within the dungeon and the tomb;

Whose coming is as light and music are

Which moves not ’mid the moving

A smile among dark frowns—-a gentle

Among rude voices, a beloved light,

A solitude, n refuge, a delight.

BEAUTY QUESTIONS ANSWERED Coiffures for Young Girls

Dear Miss Leeds—~(l) I am l2 year's old and have long, yellow curls which I put back and they form a knot. Please suggest some dlifarent ways of dressing my hair. measurements are: Ankle, Binches; calf, 13; thigh, 15%; hips, 32; waist. 29%: bust, 33- I weigh 1m pounds. Am I too heavy? DOROTHY. Answer-G) A pretty way to dress your hair would be to divide it from ear to ear. Arrange the back sec- tion in three or four-long curls and fasten them together at the nape of your neck with s. long bBYQlIIQuBTY-lih the top section of hair straight back from your face, curl the ends in three or four rlnglets and fasten them to- gether with another long barette ‘Just back of the crown of your head- This will give you two tiers of curls behind. Another becoming coiffure has a part on the left side, which divides the front hair into a small left-hand section and a 'largc_._right- hand section. iBrush the right sec- tion down to the right. _ Bruslrthe small left piece of hair back_'of your left ear and around to. the back. Now comb and brush all theback hair around to the right side of your head and make it into a cluster of 1on3 curls hanging in front of your right shoulder. Fasten with a barette. (2) You forgot to state your height. _ If you are between ii feet and ‘5 feet 3 inches in height, your present weight is good. If you are taller than 5 feet 3 inches, you are underweight. Your thigh seems very small, but the other measurements are faiitfor a girl of your age. I cannot judge them with- out knowing your height, however. LOIS BEEDS.

Becoming a Bedhead

~ Dear Miss Lneds-(l) My hair is dark brotvn, but I would like to make it auburn if I can do it without harming it. I have been using a commercial henna shampoo that gives my lifeless hair a remarkable red tint. Will it make it auburn in time? (21 I use as a skin bleach ;the juice of one lemon and two table- spoonfuls of peroxide. Is this harm- ful? f3) I have dark hazel eyes. B light olive skin and dark brown hair. What colors are becoming? MARCIA. Answor-(l) The lifeless look in your hair is doubtless due to lack of grooming. You should brush and comb your hair until it is glossy- Keep it free from dust by regular shampooing and scalp massage. Wash your. brush and comb twice a week. ‘Add a few drops of ammonia in the water in which you rinse the bristles of the brush and the comb and your hairpins. I do not think tho henna‘ rinse will harm your hair. Oamomile tea or peroxide is used by hair dress- ers t0 mugs brown hair turn auburn. I do not know whether there is any- thing hsrmfulv in - the particular shampoo -you are usinli the l!!!" henna is not injurious. (2) The skin bleach you are using is too strong and will land to make your skin yel- low and parched in appearance, if used often. Add two tablespoonfuls of glycerin and enough rose wateivto make a pint of liquid. The juice’ of half-a-lomon in l. pint of milk mukes a good, harmless bleach. (3) You may wedr bright reds. rust, brick-led. bonus. and all warm browns that blend with your hair. Rich yellows. amber, bronco-groan. dark blue, dull pink, conl apricot, mahogany, black with brill! ‘trimming and pink and lavender in sheer fabrics may: be

The Business Woman (‘ionsiders Hunting a I Husband - Is a Boring Beau Better , ’ Than No Beau At All? - Folly 0f Stopping School to go to Work

Dear Miss Dix-l-If you were an office woman who hid Wflflltd MW" years, elbowing men in business, and had become indifferent to marrialfl. and to the art of charming men fox-tbs PWW" “Filming them in mar;

, rlags, what would you do to correct You!‘ miufltlml" Would it~bs worth while. anyway? If you were such a woman would you not rather be satisfied to lot well enough alone, and go along in the oven tenor of your way? This is an angle for the social question that

A will interest many business women.

A READER.

Answer: ‘

I think that the competent business woman with s good job, who has passed safely through the hectic chills and fever of flapperdom, and recovered from it. is who if she lots well erfough alone. For lf in single " blessednuss there are few thrills, there is. the peace that passed all undorstanuing.

Whether a woman should marry or not depeuds on two things. _First, on how badly she wants to‘ marry and secondly, upon the kind of man she can get to marry. There are women who are man-crazy from the cradle to the grave. The only thing that ever interests them is men. The only career they look forward to is wifehood and life ls meaningless and flat to them without a husband.

Such women arc happier even when they marry men who best and mis. treat them than they are single.

There are other women, however, who are not bom husband-hunters and~to whom marriage is not a necessity. They are women who have the strength to standalone; who have the brains and the initiative to go ahead and make themselves a place in the world, and who fill their lives with such a variety of interests that men fall into a secondard place in their scheme of things.

You are this type of woman, you should not marry unless you find soma man who is particularly congenial and with whom you fail very des- perdtely in love.

You should not marry just to be a-marrylng, or just because all of your friends have married and have homes and families of their own, or just be- cause you suddenly realizo that if you don't marry soon you will be an old maid and your chances will be gone, and you are afraid that when it is too late you might regret it. ‘ *

. ..___.._.

Undoubtedly to be happily married is the happiest stain on earth. Un- doubtedly there is no. human relationship that is so perfect as that of the husband and wife who are really mated and .who satisfy each others every need of body and mind and soul. Undoubtedly 1i’ Paradise is ever regained it. is found in homes that are filled with peace and love. .

. But the-reverse of this is also true, and, there is no other hell on earth equal to a. discordant horns in which the husband and wife quarrel and re-

vile and insult eaohfdthor. Nor is there any other torture equal to that of a

man and a woman who hate and loathe each other and yet who are bound together .

Every womanwho marries stakes her all on a gamble, for there is no possible way that she can know beforehand the kind of a husband a man will make, and nothing but a love so great that it makes her feel that there ls nothing in life for hor, anyway. if she doesn't get him justifies her in tak- ing thschance. Therefore. I should always advise the woman who was still in her sanasenses, and not carried away by love," to play safe and stick to her pay-envelope. and hsr. freedom.

Thi life of the girl bachelor has many compensations. Few married women can afford the clothes and the amusements that the competent business woman enjoys. Few wives work as short hours and have as long vacations. Few husbands treat their wives with the consideration and

dom that the business woman has.

Bo why not be content with these blessings? Why risk changing a sure good thing for an uncertainty?

Husband chasing is an arduous and difficult undertaking. anyway. And sometimes when you catch him he isn't worth having. > DOROTHY DIX. I Dear Miss Dix-A young man has been coming to sea m0 for some time, andlwhila I do not enjoy his company particularly, I feel that he is better than no company at all. He doesn't talk much, and when ho takes me to the movies, which is seldom. he always leaves blfore tbs show is over. Now what I want to know is this: Is it bsttnr to entertain a boy who bores you

or to have no date at all until you find some one you like?

ANXIOUB GIRL?

Answer: - /

You know the old adage that says that nothing succeeds like success. That is true with men, just u much u it is with business, or politics: or whatnot. If you want in have boaux, you hsvs'to have a beau to act ls a decoy and draw his follows in.

Men are funny, dsughipr. when a woman is concerned they are like sheep that follow their loader. Apporontly no man trusts his judgmsnt of agirl. Ila wants other men to put tho stomp of approval on hor. Than they give her the grand rush. That is why a girl nearly always has dam to burn. or elu no dates at Ill. '

NEW YORK. Feb.

But there are other ways, too. of making our rude muscular shoulders look frail and Victoripn, as if at any moment we might favor the world with a romantic Camille-like cough. One of these is represented by the draped scarf. Still another is the shirt bosom front which is noted on so many of our tailored tuck-in models. In fact, it seems to be just anything which cuts the shoulder line and thus diminishes its sense of brealith.

So, you see we have put our shoul- der to the wheel of feminlty and we I are making it roll for dear life. But] wearing a snip on our shoulders-just by way oi’ being incorrect and mix- ing our figures-is not all that we do in the interests of looking fussy and frilly and like the dear little women we aren't. Regard the jabots and the bows, the peplums and tho tucks, the scarves, and the scallops

that. We realize that there is as much difference between an up-to- date 1929 model and its anccstress as there is between the John Held girl and the Gibsonyfavorite. Yet, oddl enough, now in this zealous renaissance oi’ the shirtwaist we see a bit of parallelism. Today, after many seasons of piiiless exposure, our shirtwaist has gone in for part- ial retirement. ' In other words, the tuck-in is once more to the fore.

But. oi’ course, this typo of blouse is reserved more especially for the tailored and sports costume, and even when it does prevail it is a" far cry from that tailored pique or linen af- fair of the nineties. O, yes, indeed! But if we really wish to know how much water has flowed under the bridge oi’ fashion all that we have t0 do is to look at the dressy blouses of our present era.
