Some are old, disappointed and buffeted by life There are widows, both sod and grass, old maid aunts, tired daughters tied to elderly parents, moth-rs. supporting fatherless children women wedded to business, termagants and invalids. Sandwiched in this home and that office, some in asylums, some in jail, these extra women are wide area.

It is not necessary that you have the virtues of taste and background which you so modestly admit to be in demand.

Almost any Indianapolis will tell you that must call single men xeeks in advance to get a dinner partner for one of the 10,- | 000. The only trouble with you is that you haven't been discovered. The question is not where do the girls hide but where do you hide? When the discovery is made you may return to Louisville in defense. About all you have to do is live at a place which is full of young men, like the Y. M. C. A. and be pleasant to the boys. Soon you'll be in demand for double dates, for evely young man is hounded by his girl friend for an escort for her girl friend. Through one girl you meet other girls and so on ad infinitum.

Keep Baby’s Hair Very Short for

Curls, Is Advice

By ALICIA HART

NEA Service Sta.f Writer

When your 4-year-old daughter's |

heretofore curly hair becomes straight as your own, it's a waste

of time to try to make it naturally

wavy again.

Her hair, like most everyone's,

| probably doesn’t have enough wave

to it to withstand its own weight once it is more than three inches long. If you keep the soft baby curls very short, they are less likely to get quite straight.

The curliness of hair is deter-

mined before it comes out of the scalp, so nothing ycu pour on it afterward is going to make it more or less wavy. Very kinky hair can be straightened with heavy oil, of course, but the tight waves will reappear as soon as the oil is washed out. Wave Doesn't Change Roots Likewise, a permanent wave has no effect on the roots of your hair. That is why you have to.get a new

permanent about every six months.

The waves exist only until the

hair is longer, then the weight of | | each strand flattens the none-too- | | strong

waves in it. A really curly hair comes from a follicle which hag one or more distinet, sharp curve in it.

as hairpin turns on a speedway. shape is determined before

When someone tells you that at 30, her hair became curly, it means that the curl was there all the time anyway. It may be, in her younger vears, that her hair was longer and heavier and that the weight of it pulled ou’ the natural wave. Sometimes waves appear when hair is dressed softly—not pulled back

“Comparison is odious,” goes the saw. Mama Smith looks into baby Ma- | rie’'s mouth daily and wonders when | | those first teeth are coming through. | Finally, months late, they show up. In the meantime, Mrs. Smith | is wondering why Marie doesn’t try | to walk. | All the other babies her age are | walking. Why not hers? The other | i children are doing cute things, too, { but Marie just appears to sit and | let the time pass. Things work out and so does Ma- | |rie. She gets her teeth eventually | and she walks well, but four months | late according to her mother's cal- | endar The past is forgotten. But now, |! | here’s her baby, still unable to do { what the neighbor's children do. | | She can't get the secret of the] | pedals on her scooter. She can't catch a ball.

She's Sober Girl

She is a sober little girl. She | talks slowly, thinks slowly and acts deliberately. It doesn’t upset her {| much to hear her schoolmates being cheered. But by this time her par- | | ents have perceived a certain abil{ity to analyze and get at reason | and roots of things. Dare they | hope? !

And college finds her unelected as the most popular, the most efficient, ! the most useful of brilliant student. !

Metamorphosis Seems Sudden

| Marie has few beaux. Her relatives all say, “Too bad—but Marie never had what it takes.” They still think her stupid and uninteresting. At 20 Marie writes a play. It sur- | prises the faculty. The dramatic | department puts it on, and it is a | howling success. After graduation, Marie gets into the big magazines. She begins to shape up and be beautiful. Suddenly out of nowhere, appear assurance and charm. At 26 she marries a man of intellect and position. Our little Marie who couldn't cut a tooth, who couldn't make her pencil behave, who was almost the tag end of everything. What was the matter with the child? She was mereiy a year or two longer in developing, and therefore always doing tasks ezpected of older children. Some young people are mature mentally and emotionally at 16. Others not until 20 or even 30. Encourage the slow child. ! He is more likely to have “purpose,” and as a result won't spread himself too thin to count. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service. Inc.)
