Why, then, you ask, shall we stand off to admire the child who climbs a “verboten” tree or helps himself
| to paints to ruin the garage door;
who won't mind unless it suifs him and thinks discipline and suggestion are made for the other fellow? Because in adventurous misbehavior there are two things to consider. One is a deep-set purpose to do a certain thing. The other is the moral part of it—taking unfair advantage and‘ breaking home rule —or any rule, for that matter. The outlaw, later to be society’s enemy, stresses craft, defiance, privilege and preying. The merely purposeful child who has the courage of his convictions, and sometimes loses sight of the honorable, is motivated more by the end to be reached. His determination to get there often obscures the moral side, but only incidentally. He can get over that, and learn to accomplish his purpose honorably. *

Dry Shampoo Aid to Hair Between Beautician Visits
BY ALICIA HART Times Special Writer
Dry shampoos and other timesaving routines are invaluable to the summer traveler or one who can not visit a beauty shop more than two or three times a month.
Women who want to be well
groomed day in and day out sim-
ply have to discover ways and means to care. for hair, face and nails between visits to the hairdresser. Your hairbrush and a tonic to correct “ whatever scalp defect you have are all you need for cleaning: scalp and hair quickly and thoroughly. Simply part your hair in sections, soak a coftton pad in the tonic and apply. Rub it on the scalp—not- the hair, and use sparingly. When you have finished, massage. with fingertips until the tonic has been absorbed, then begin to 0 has Always brush upward and wipe the brush after each stroke. When each hair has been cleaned and polished, simply push your waves back in place. Correct brushing never spoils a wave.
Manicure Also Needed
Even. the most- expert manicure won’t keep fingernails attractive and lovely for a full week. Do a thorough job about every seven days, of course, but between times, give your nails a few whisks with an emery board and apply fresh polish wherever needed. You will derive more lasting benefit from professional facials if you use your creams and lotions intelligently ot -home. A cream treatment is good for dry skin, of course, but you can’t expect four applications ‘a month fo correct the condition. ‘You must do something yourself every night. - How to make a fingerwave last a full week is a. problem that confronts most of us in the summertime. For this reason; it’s a splendid idea to.invest in a comfortable hair net to wear at night and a lightweight shower cap to wear in the tub as well as under the shower. On. the market right ‘now. are hair nets that tie under: the chin like an aviator’s helmet. These are light, come in all colors, are easy to wash and really do stay in place all night. New: shower caps tie in the same manner. And, for those who care for ringlet curls at home, there are new, pale. green rubber curler clips that are somiortable to to | sleep on.

not boss of the house and believes in the public whipping post. Then Happy Me's brother-in-law wrote in her defense. His letter read as though the offender owed him money. Next a Club of Men (suspected of being women) wrote in defense. Now comes a second letter from Happy Me.
Dear Jane Jordan—I read your answer to my brother-in-law's lete ter.. I am sorry you seem very bitter. As for the $500 I borrowed, it is paid. Perhaps you are a little caustic in regard to the whipping post. Well, I am still in favor of if, as all the members of my club are. As the Bible says, “All men.are born liars.” I treat my little dog
better than my husband treated me. Anyway, (Jane, we will still be
friends even if you do answer my
brother-in-law in such an insulting way. He did not deserve that kind of an answer and he feels very bitter. ¥ AE HAPPY ME.
Answer—It is too bad that you and your brother-in-law regard a difference in opinion as a personal attack. If you're sure you're right . you need not-have such tender feel--ings. Your second - letter, of which I have used such a small part, shows so much nicer a spirit that I am inclined to think you misrepresented yourself in the first. What you have to learn S— 8 {rom this discussion is the way Jane Jordan others view the type of outburst we had in your first letter. I admire you for paying back your debt, a fact I did not gather from your brother-in-law’s letter.
1 am very glad you wrote, for it has been a long time since any letter stirred up so much response from readers. In publishing parts of their letters, I trust you will not be upset by those who do not see eye to eye with you. Simply consider their opinions for what they are worth. Honestly, now, didn’t the letter from a Club of Men really come from your own Club of Women? 8 8 » Dear Jane Jordan—Club of Men’s letter was very unfair.and cattish. Evidently they are a group of efe feminate men and this type is usue ally attracted to. the aggressive, masculine type of .woman. As a subscriber and reader of your paper, I consider Jane Jordan as aces. You always publish the uncomplimentary things. about yourself. Won't you please publish this letter? RED HEAD.
Answer—With pleasure. I am srry I did not have room for all 0 'e
2 2 » Dear Jane Jordan—Your reply to the Club Men’s letter leads me to believe you missed your calling, You should have been a detective, Of course it is a fake, as your de= duction clearly shows. There might conceivably be one person who claims fo be a man who could write such a. letter, but my, oh my, there couldn’t be enough to form a club My. friends and I consider’ your analysis to be second to none. . MY OPINION.
/ Answer—Thank y you. ! 8 #8 = :
- Dear Jane Jordan—In' answer to Happy Me, I agree with you. How could she be happy? Her letter was certainly anything but happy. From a fellow’s viewpoint, very few men vould be interested in a girl of that type. . In fact, I didn’t know there were. any. The only reason I can give. for Happy Me's letter, her brother-ifi-law’s and mine is the hot weather we are having. We take it out on you, Jane!
