Is the Back of Your Head Beautiful? If So — Paris Style Decree Says It’s O. K. to Show It
By MARIAN HALE SEA Service Staff Writer COVER your forehead, bury your ears, if you will: But if the back of your head’s beautiful, show it. This is the latest Paris edict — hence, law' to the fashionable world. Mme. Louise Berthelon, the French hairdresser, who confided to me what's coming next in the coiffure line, never did approve of bobbing. She admits its influence is with us still, however. That is, hair, once bobbed, couldn’t be un-bobbed in a hurry. So all hairdressing of the moment is planned with growing locks in mind. Too Good to Lose “It was during bobbed hair’s vogue,” Mme. Berthelon told me, “that we learned the beauty of the line running from the crown to the back of the head, and now we're not willing to lose it beneath braids, puffs or knots." The “peeled” effect is desired no longer in Paris. 1 undeu^tand. “The Parisienne,” ms- mentor ex plained, “has her hair short in front —really bobbed. Or she adds little puffs to give the fluffy effect of clipped locks. This softened outline is most flattering.” Bangs are seen on all fashionable women’s brows, but not such expanses of them as the Lady Elizabeth loved. No Longer Wild To the lamberquin effect. French and American girls prefer the partial fringe, spreading over a limited area and merely relieving the suggestion of extreme Intellectuality Implied by a vast sweep of forehead. Waves are wild no longer. They undulate gracefully, framing the face in beautiful lines. The hair nearly always is parted—somewhere. But the part wanders about or runs on the bias.
Martha Lee Tells What She Thinks of Eloping
ONE of my readers, “Babe,” wants to know my opinion of eloping. That’s a pretty broad question. Suppose we take it from various angles. There is a thrill about it—no one can deny that. But at the same time it takes away a thrill. An elopment always seems more or less of a prank. It starts marriage out wrong by putting it. on that “prank” basis.
It creates a certain amount of gossip. and gossip never does any good and frequently does much harm. And —a point not to he hastily put aside —it robs the girl’s mother of one of the happiest moments of her life. She looks forward for years to seeing her daughter happily wedded, with due solemnity and ceremony. Surely she deserves this !itt,le reward for years of sacrifice. An elopement does not necessarily mean an unhappy marriage. But, in my opinion. “Babe,” a regular wedfling (not a sumptuous or an elaborate one is by far the better kind.

TILE march of man from savagery to civilization can be measured by his menus. One’s primitive instincts come more closely to the surface at eating than at any other time. Possibly that is why civilized men and women have wisely made social dining an important function.- The wise observe always the nicest formalities of the dining room.
When Dining Out 1. Guests of refinement make no conunejit on food, except to praise. 2. One takes some of every course on his plato, and partakes of it, If only lightly, instead of refusing. 2. The guest at a formal dinner or luncheon ne\er asks for a second helping of any dish. 4. The guest who has an accident, such as dropping a fork or even overturning or breaking a dish, will not make profuse apologies; a simple word or two to tho hostess suffices. 5. The guest unfortunate enough to break a valuable dish may replace it with a duplicate, or nearduplicate. within a day or two, sending along an apology.
“CMREM BOWELS When Sick, Bilious, Headachy, Constipated, for Sour Stomach, Gases, Bad Breath, Colds
Your bowels may seem regular—move every day—yet your thirty feet of bowels may be lined with poisonous waste which is being sucked into your blood, keeping you half sick, nervous, despondent and upset. Whether you have headache, colds, sour stomach, indigestion, or heart palpitation, it is usually from bowel poison.
The knot, usually detachable, is placed to suit the wearer’s whim. The knowing woman locates it at the angle most complimentary to her nose. The Grecian knot should accompany the Grecian profile. The retrousse nose calls for a lower or higher bun. Naturally we can’t escape the Egyptian Influence. Metal bands and pendant hardware are extremely popular. Earrings are almost more necessary than ears.
Martha Lee’s Advice-
should not know where to go. And I know I should not be satisfied Can you please advise me’ HOME LOVER. i think it will take drastic measures to change your husband. Instead of keeping up your house as it should be kept, neglect your housekeeping a bit. Serve meals that are not up to your usual standard. But Keep up your own appearances and keep yourself good humored. When your husband complains—and he will, especially about his meals — remind him that marriage is a partnership and tell him you are ready to do your part again when he does. Then see whether you cannot both start out anew. BILLIE: Your case seems to be cne for the police, not for me. Tell them about the man who swindled you. Absence Helps Love TWr Miss Lee: I have been married twice One of my husbands loved other women. The other will not leave his mother.

IT’S lIAD MANNERS for a guest at dinner to rise and rush away at the end of the meal.
Hurry! One or two C'asearets tonight will clean your bowels right. Ry morning all the constipated poison and sour bile will move out —thoroughly! Cascarets will not sicken you —they physic fully, but never gripe or inconvenience. Children love Cascarets too. 10 cent boxes, also 25 and 50 cent sizes. Any dr u gs t ore.—Ad v ertisemen t.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Turbans woven of gold or silver cloth; bandanna kerchiefs, given a clever twist, and Juliet caps of pearls are fashionable ornamenta tions for evening. And take heart! If your hair’s thin, not of particularly good color, and sort of generally hopeless, there’s a smart new contrivance called the “enveloppeur.” Lighter than the transformation, it is quite as efficient. You become mistress of your own pate ; by acquiring one. j who always is raisins trouble. He does not take me any place. I work every day. 1 j love him at times. Then when he does everything against mo I almost hate him. I left him and ho said he was not happy without me. Now when I say 1 shall go again, he tells me to go. Should 1 ' If lie oolv woo’d vet me one room, I should be happy. P!eao tell mo what to do THE UNHAPPY FOOT,. Lvidently your husband does not realize he loves you until you leave. So I think the thing for you to do is to go away again. Then, when ho asks you to come back, make him agree to give you a home. Os course you are taking the chance that he will not ask you to come back. But I believe there is little danger of that.

This story is written in such a way that you can begin it at any time. Written in the form of letters, it tells of the love affairs of John Alden Prescott and his fiancee, Leslie Hamilton.
LETTER FROM PAULA PERIER TO HER OLD FLAME, JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT. WHOSE ENGAGEMENT TO LESLIE HAMILTON HAS JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED. MON CHERE JACQUES: The papers tell me that very soon you are going to marry. Os course, when I read the notice all our old associations it brings up and I wonder —yes, Jacques, I really wonder — if you will ever be as happy with any other girl as you were with me. We were blissfully happy, ne e’est pas? You have never mentioned me to this Miss Hamilton, I expect, hut I am sure that to forget me you will not be able nevertheless; and sometime when things go wrong and wifie understands not, don’t you know that old saying Jacques, “My wife is a 'ovely woman, but she does not understand”—well, when wife does not understand, perhaps to someone you will come back and you tell again to her that her greatest charm is her understanding thorough. We quarreled so long ago. What was it about, Jacques? Silly it was, 1 know, and that you would come back immediately I was sure; but you did not, and too proud I was to ask you to return. And now, some other girl into your life has come. You will be happy I sincerely hope, if only in that monotonous way which all married people fail into who claim to be happy. Possibly it is not for human beings to dwell o i the mountain tops of love; the air is too ratified. But I am getting romantic: to be very sensible I had intended, and to tell you that a bundle of letters I have tied up carefully in one of my bureau drawi-rs. 1 wonder how you would like them for a wedding present? Very interesting reading they would make for your wife, Jacques! I read one of them this morning. It made rne feel quite unhappy. 1 shed a few tears. And very well, you know that there is nothing or no one that is worth a tear in this world! But to realize this you have to go through affairs like yours and mine, wonderful dreams dreaming, and to stem reality wake up as I did when of your corning marriage I rend. To this letter what will you say? Whatever it is, Jacques, you cannot from the fact get away that once I to you was tho only woman in the world. Hundreds of times you have told me that better than life itself you loved me. I am still always to you the same-- PAULA.
LETTER FROM JOHN \Lden I’REst or r ro ms FRIEND. SYDNEY CARTON.
DEAR SYD: I am sending you the S O S sign, as you will readily see when you read the enclosed letter. Isn’t it a fright? Isn’t it Just like that little French devil? From it I can’t tell whether she is trying to blackmail :no Into buying tin’ letters from her. or whether she thinks that I am marrying to spite her. or that as soon as 1 know her fooling toward me I will give up Leslie and fly to her .again. What in tho devil is she getting at, Syd? I am much worried, I can tell you. for in the same mail with that letter I received one from Leslie asking if I had over told another girl I had loved her —so you see what a predicament I will he in if she ever finds out about Paula. Good Istrd, why do girls always want to be the first girl a man loves, when if they only know it they are lucky to be the last? For heaven’s sake, Syd, come on over and help mo out with this. I want you to go out and sthis girl see what she is trying to get at, and above all else, get those letters away from her. What a fool a man makes of himself when lie puts his silly vaporing* upon paper? I did not mean it at the
time, and I certainly do not mean it now. Why, Syd, if anything should happen that I should lose Leslie now, I think I would commit suicide. Come over right away if you can; I don’t want to write to Paula; I don’t want to put any more compromiing stuff on paper; but I want you to go to her and find out just what her game is. Haven’t much time to explain, old boy, and I know I am asking a lot of you; but remember, I would do as much for you under the same circumstances. Yours in great trouble — JACK.
TELEGRAM FROM SYDNEY CARTON TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT.
Impossible for me to get over before Thursday. Sit tight and don’t worry. Think I can fix it for you. Anyway, you know that I will do my best. I can’t help saying 1 told you so. There, I’ve ducked: don’t try to hit me again. I’ll help you out of it, of course; but I can’t help grinning. You were always so cocksure. SYDNEY.
