THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

c tu e 9 LETTER FROM ANNETTE ANDERSON TO MRS. JOHN ALDEX PRESCOTT My Dear Mrs. Prescott: I hope you will forgive me for bothering you, for with your fear and grief over your father’s illness, I certainly do not wish to add to your burdens in any way. But I have to tell you—and I may as well do it first as last —that I am going to leave Mrs. Prescott. Miss Bradford and I cannot live in the same apartment. I do not know what there is about that old maid, but there surely is something that brings out every critical and unkind faculty in your mother-in-law's personality. Mis. Prescott does not strike one as being a woman who is readily influenced, but in her case I have found how easy it is to appeal to the worst that is in all of us. Miss Bradford makes Mrs. Prescott feel that she Is not only abused and her more than wonderful. Infallible judgment absolutely disregarded, but she is all the time flattering Mrs. Prescott’s narrow egotism by telling her that her opinion is much better, on account of her long life and experience, than yours could possibly be. Os course, I do not mean this is being done in so many words, but the intimation is clear. I have been long enough, my dear Mrs. Prescott, with all sorts and conditions of men and women, to know that age has nothing to do with Judgment. A child of 1(1 is sometimes better capable of judging the affairs of modern life than a man or a woman of 60. who has grown up in a secluded environment and is full of narrow-minded prejudices. Miss Bradford seems to sour all the milk of human kindness that is jin Mrs. Prescott's heart. She has : made her think that her son, | through your influence, is not treati ms: her as a son should treat his | mother, is not deferring to her enough. Nothing I can do seems able to change, her thoughts to something happier or more kindly, for j Mas Bradford has .succeeded in making Mrs. Prescott think that I am i :n league with you to curtail her im ! portance and influence in her son's j eves. Since Mr. rrescott went away, ! Miss Bradford has persuaded Ills } mother that the thing to do is to ! (rive vc ir apartment a thorough I cleaning. Os course I think this is | only an excuse to go through your j ! most private things, but I dare not suggest this to Mrs. Prescott. In j fact, I think Mrs. Prescott also has , , a sneaking curiosity to know exactly j what you have and how you keep it. j You of course know that your | cook has left. I believe Mrs. Pres- I cott wrote that to you. As her son ! took Sarah with little Jack, of course j jyour mother-in-law has usurped all the authority in your apart- | mcnl. Yesterday when I returned * r rotn my daily walk, I found them j emptying your clothes closets, and j the rooms were a sight. Trunks had been emptied, bureau drawers turned | out on beds and sofas, and all the j clothing that you had put away In [dosets as well as that on hangers, | had been taken out. of the closet. Your mother had hirer! a very j ordinary scrub woman to wash down ! the walls and the floors, and she j told me she was going to have her • brush your clothes and put them I back tomorrow. The woman was . iovr nly In the extreme, and I arr. quite pure she will never get them ; back in the places where you had j th* rn. Both Miss Bradford and Mrs. Pres- | cott were exclaiming over your ex ; travagance in clothes. Next week Mrs. Prescott says she j ! intends to send your beautiful old i : h -encli desk over to the cabinet- j j makers and have it thoroughly gone !

Martha Lee Says ‘We All Began Alike, ’ Women Remind Men

A veritable avalanche of indignation has descended upon men who accuse women of robbing themselves of their “crowning glory” when they bob their hair. “G. W. B. ” started it, when he voiced the view held by many men.

The women, in wrathful protest, remind him and other men that there was a time when men wore long hair, and that convenience and comfort prompted them to abandon the style. All this, Incidentally, is part of the discussion started when Miss Kathryne Dyer, bob-hair prize winner of Washington, D. C., said she does not like her bob and thinks other girls do not like theirs. To give definite information to G. W. B. and those who replied to him, I gleaned this from an encyclopaedia: “Among the Greeks of the Sixth Century before Christ, an elaborate style of hair dressing, common to both men and women, was in vogue. Even athletes wore their hair crimped and curled, retained by a broad band below which little curls were arranged in corkscrews. •‘‘ln the Fourth Century B. C., hair was worn in its natural curls or cut very short. “In the Fourteenth Century, men and women of the wealthier classes had most elaborate coiffures." There is more of it, but that gives the gist. Here are some of the answers to G. W. 8., and other letters on the same subject Started Alike Dear Miss Lee: In dPtense of the "bob” anti in answer to G. W. 8.. I wish to say that I am a married woman 30 years old, with two children. I have my hair bobbed and certainly ;-.tn not sorry. G. W. B. says God gave women ion? hair. Well, we afl had practically the same amount of hair when we came into this world, ami men used to let their hair grow, too. but fashion and comf-rt demanded they wear it short. Now- fashion and comfort demand women wear theirs short—and all the fuss from the men! I am going to say that when men will let their nair grow as nature intended, and .nor run to the barber shop every week. I will do the same. E. V. D She's 'lndependent' Dear Martha Lee: 1 am 36 and simrlp. therefore independent so I bobbed my ha:r when it pleased m.v fancy. It looks as though the world has progressed far enough by this time that people ought 10 be i.5.,1 to changes and take th'-m sanely. Why shouldn't women, as well as men, weir short hair if they want to? We have only to go hack in history to the time of Louis XIV of Eranc-- to find ail the men with uncut tresses Ev-d-i.tri-men were several centuries in coming to their present style of nair dressing. I wonder whether they met with the tarn* storm of protest from their wives, relatives and the general public that nobhaired women are facing todav No doubt they dm from the number of years it seems to have taken for the style to become universal. If George Washington had said to his

good w-ife, “Martha. I think I shall have my hair bobbed." do you suppose sue would have '-nme back like this, “You just have that hair cut off if you dare and I’ll leave you before the sun goes down and apply for a divorce?" And yet if such a thing had really happened, the no or man would have met with nothing more than hundreds of wives are meeting with today. In the beginning both men and women wore long hair. Has any one ever scan a picture of Christ with his hair barbered in the present fashion? Those who do not like bobbed hair are privileged to wear it long, but they also have my fuli permission to keep their mouths shut about other people's personal preference. MISS FAX S. No Double Standard Dear Miss Lee: I wish to ask a question of the man who contributed an article on the subject of bobbed hair, which appeared in The Times of Sept. 16. He said girls that bobbed their hair were shaming themselves, man and God. who gave to woman her crowning glory. Did not God give to man the same “crowning glory?” Members of the "House of David” and several other religious orders have proven that if men would let their hair grow they would have as much, probably more, than women. In my opinion it is no more a shame for a woman to cut her hair than it is for a. man to do so. The author of the article referred to should sit up and take notice that the double standard is weakening. FAIR AMD TWENTY. With Miss Dyer Dear Miss Lee: I agree with Miss Dyer in regr.rd to bobbed hair. I have had my hah bobbed for quite a while and it has changed my appearance altogether. I will admit it is very handy when I am in a hurry, as I can comb it in a moment, b it, I never feel dressy. So I would far rather spend fifteen more minutes on it and feel comfortable. I am letting mine grow. I think the "sheik cut” is terrible. I am anxious to hear your opinion. NO 808 FOR ME Girlish Complexion New Easily Acquired If vottr complexion is bad just try this simple, harmless home treatment. It will prove a revelation to you. This evening before retiring cover the entire face with a thin layer of ordinary mercolized wax. which you can get at any drug store. In the morning wash this off with warm water. Fine particles of the lifeless scarf skin adhere to the wax and are removed with it. Repeat this treatment nightly until the entire surface skin is absorbed in his way. Result—the loveliest natural complexion Imaginable. The fresh, new skin then in evidence is soft and velvety in appearance, delicately tinted with the bloom of youth. The old surface skin comes off so gradually there is no pain, no inconvenience.’ and no detention indoors. Tan, freckl's. moth patches, liver spots, pimples or blotches are of course removed with the skin itself.— Adver-
