OPASMODIC negligence Is step-sister
•O to chronic carelessness. Both are
Inexcusable In the matter of one’s per-
sonal appearance. Both pay the same
price. Groom yourself perfectly for
360 days In the year, and let the world
see you careless the other 5. What
happens? You are judged—or rather
misjudged (If you want It that way)
by your off-days. You look lovely most
frequently—you are listless seldom—
yet It Is the “seldom” that everyone
seems to notice.
Connie found that out. She conflde'd
to me the other day that she would
never, never venture forth, even to the
grocer’s around the corner, without
“Using and fussing ns though going to
a dinner-dunce." Connie ordinarily Is
quite careful about her appearance.
Occasionally, however, she hns an off-
day. She reasons thus, “Oh, well, I
don’t have uny special engagements—
I don’t expect to meet anyone today
—and I’m just going out for a short
time.
"So I slipped out of the house and
on to the store and even the grocer’s
cat seemed to stare at me. I caught
a fleeting reflection of myself in the
mirror and it was none too flattering,
Itlght then and there I had u premoni-
tion. On my way home I talked to
myself, expressing over and over again
the hope that I would not have the
misfortune of meeting anyone. And
then—curses—If I didn’t walk straight
Into the one person In the whole world
whom I wished least to see at that
moment.”
Connie must have wished as so
many of us often do flint a magic po-
tion for making us Invisible would be
Invented. However, that little Inci-
dent changed Connie s regime to one
of systematic precision. No more
spasms of negligence. She is always
a picture of perfect grooming.
Connie’s sad little experience re-
minds me of a lovely lady I know who
Is really a brilllnnt housekeeper. On
the one and only day that she failed
to mnke the beds and straighten up
(because she felt Indisposed) the fates
conspired against her. She had more
unexpected visitors In an hour—that
day—than she usually has In a week.
It’s the experience of every woman—
seems to me.
Ilemeniber the wrinkle makers. Con-
stant frowning, scowling, a despondent
and morose disposition. Too sudden
reduction without compensating skin
care takes away the fatty underlining,
but the skin that has been stretched
to accommodate it falls Into folds and
wrinkles. Remember that worrying
-over the wrinkles will often make
matters worse. And remember, too,
that your youth did not die In a day,
the wrinkles worked their way Into
face and neck—a little yesterday, a
little the day before, over perhaps
years without your knowing It. Don’t
expect them to leave In a day or a
month. Be patient and you will br
rewarded with youth regained.

FEMININITY SUPREME
■tT T E! ALL remember the post-war
W days. Feminine faces suddenly
gone masculine. Softly curving figures
taking on a mannish straightness.
Feminine locks snipped shorter and
shorter. Then the ridiculous extremes
in eyebrows. First n heavy, unruly
mass, then the pencll-llke, expression-
less arch. And make-up anything but
the happy medium. Rouge applied too
boldly and heavily or completely omlt-
‘ted. Lips shaped so unnaturally and
rouged so highly that they smacked
of boldness bordering on vulgarity.
Too much—entirely too much of the
extreme, the eccentric, the masculine.
Femininity was locked In fashion’s at-
tic closet. The beauty-wise mourned
her. To them she seemed too long
lost.
Now fashion has released her o.nee
more. And our new-found femininity
Is lovelier than ever. No cobwebs have
attached themselves to her. She has
not suffered by the long absence. And
we women—what a welcome we are
giving her! Absence does make the
heart grow fonder, doesn't it?
Look around you. On all sides you
see’ ladles—lovely ladles. Gone are
the flappers, the boyish bob, the bored
air and ennui. Complexions are all
a clow with a newer loveliness. A
saner and healthier attitude Is belns
taken on the subject of the figure
Extreme thinness Is not stressed to the
extent It was a yenr or two ago.
Figures are taking on the rounded
curves, the graceful, slender line that
feminine figures should naturally wear.
And bodies are going to be the health-
ier and lovelier for It. As for milady’s
hair, once more It comes Into Its own,
once more it Is truly “woman’s crown-
ing glory.” The shingled boyish bob
grows longer and longer until It
reaches fit least two Inches, and some-
times four inches below the ears. The
soft, flattering wavelets that were
brushed back from the forehead and
behind the ears and then chased un-
der confining little hats are once more
called forth. The one redeeming fea-
ture of the short cut, however, remains.
I have reference to the thinning proc-
ess. Hair grows longer, but not heavier.
We discovered that the shape of most
feminine heads Is really beautiful. So
the coiffure Is still thinned to reveal
the lovely contours of the head.
Straight hair Is taboo. It's feminine to
have curly locks.

Armistice Day!
A day for remembering.
For remembering the titanic con-
flict which came to nil end just 19
years ago; for remembering the hys-
terical joy as a war-weary world
turned its back on death and de-
struction and lifted its face to the
clear skies of the promise of peace;
for remembering the men and women who of-
fered up their lives for their country—those who
staid “over there” us well as those who came
home.
And do you remember when they came home
and staged their “Victory marches" through the
crowded, cheering streets of our principal cities
liow you noticed the little patches of color of dif-
ferent design which they wore on their left shoul-
ders? Perhaps you knew then what was the
meaning of those symbols hut the chances are
that you, and most other Americans as well, have
forgotten by now.
So this Is to recall It to you—the story of the
insignia of the various divisions In the American
Expeditionary Forces, “the sign of the lighting
man.”
You may not recall, although hundreds of
thousands of World war veterans undoubtedly
will, what an uproar was raised at one time over
that little patch of color on the left shoulder of
the returning soldier’s khaki coat. For when the
troops were ready to embark for home, the War
department Issued an order prohibiting the wear-
ing of divisional Insignia by the doughboys upon
their return to America. It was "unmllltary,” the
department said.
Almost instantly a tide of protest rolled Into
Washington to engulf the department. There
were a hundred good reasons advanced why the
doughboys should continue to wear their pet dec-
oration, but chief among them was the fact that
these insignia, adopted by the different divisions,
were highly useful in making possible their Iden-
tification nt a glance, In action or otherwise, and
for purposes either of commendation or criti-
cism, as the case might he; that the decoration
detracted nothing from the efficiency of the men,
but on the other hand was an Incentive to proper
conduct and co-ordinate effort; and finally that
the man wenring It, each proud of his individual
outfit, was unwilling to discard it and thus lose
his Identity and that of ills command in the melt-
ing pot of the A. E. F.’s millions.
So the Wnr department decided to allow the
returning soldiers to keep their divisional insig-
nia and tills ruling was greeted with as much
widespread approval as the forbidding order had
caused loudly voiced disapproval.
There were 03 divisions in the United States’
military forces and each one had Its distinctive
insignia. Limitations of space In this article pre-
vent the reproduction of the Insignia of all of
them and an extended account of each but the
following represents some of the more interest-
ing facts about some typical ones;
First division: An elongated shield of khaki,
point down, bearing the red numeral 1. (Figure
1.) Since this division Was the first of the Amer-
ican divisions to go to France, the* first to go into
the trenches, the first to suffer battle losses, the
first to capture prisoners and the first to enter
Germany after the Armistice, it Is only natural
that It should adopt the numeral 1. Only once
was the First division last—that was In return-
ing to the United States for demobilization.
Second division; A five-pointed white star, hav-
ing the head of an American Indian facing to the
left, in red nnd blue, stamped or embroidered on
the white star. The §tar and Indlnn head was
placed on a background of doth of various
shapes and colors to designate the several organ-
izations In the division. The black shield (Figure
9) was UBed In the Insignia of divisional head-
quarters.
Third division; A square of dark blue cloth
with three white stripes running diagonally
downward from the upper right corner to the
lower left. (Figure 3). The field of blue was
symbolic of the loyalty of the “Marnemen." The
three white stripes stood for the numerical des-
ignation of the division and also symbolized the
three major operations in which the Third di-
vision won glory during the World war—the
Marne, St. Mlhlel and Mtuse-Argonne.
Fourth division: Four Ivy leaves about a cir-
cle, the lenve8 and circle of green, placed on a
khaki background. (Figure* 8). This symbol was
formed by taking the Roman numeral IV, which
not only gave the numerical designation of the
division, but also a flower, the Ivy, which means
“steadfast and loyal” In the language of flowers
—a splendid motto for a group of fighting men.
Fifth division: A plain red diamond on a back-
ground of khaki. (Figure 5.) It was stated by
the chief of staff of the division that "no sig-
nificant meaning la attached other than that the
color, red. wn» selected aa a compliment to the
then commanding general whose branch of the
Famous London Palace
of Historic Memories
The old Georgian building known
as rhr Horse Guards occupies the
site of tho tin, yard of Whitehall pul-
act, which Henry VIII took from
Cardinal Wolsey up n the hitter's
downfall. In this palace the great
Queen Elizabeth held her court. In
front of it Charles I was beheaded,
and at Whitehall Charles 11 led his
merry life.
The Horse Guards building dates
back to the middle seventeen hun-
dreds and is an excellent example of
Georgian architecture. An archway
under the clock tower leads to an
open space facing St. i James' park.
Through this archway only tlie king
and a few highly privileged persons
may drive.
The space beyond is the scene of
one of London’s most gorgeous pag-
eants, the minimi “trooping of the
colors” on the* king's birthday. On
this day tiie royal guards pass In

Scales on
Scalp—Hair Fell Out
Terribly
Healed by Cuticufa
“My scalp bothered me terribly
and there were scules as big ns a
ten cent piece over it. It Itched so
that I could not keep my hands from
my head and my hair fell out terri-
bly. I did not rest. This lasted two
nnd one-half years.
“I saw an advertisement for Cutl-
eura Soap and Ointment and sent
for a free sample. I was surprised
nt the difference in my scalp after
using, so I bought more, nnd I used
two cakes of Cutlcura Soap and two
boxes of Cutlcura Ointment and my
scalp was henled." (Signed) Mrs.

service was the artillery,” Officers In the di-
vision, however, say "The Red Diamond repre-
sents a well-known problem of bridge building;
it is made up of two adjacent isosceles triangles
which make for the greater strength." But the
men of the division, proud of Its record and justly
jealous of Its reputation explained this laconical-
ly ; “Diamond dye—it never runs!’’
Sixth division: A red six-pointed star on a
background of khaki. (Figure 2). The six points
of the star represented the numerical designa-
tion of the division. The Sixtli had three differ-
ent insignia. The first was a red bull’s eye in a
white circle surmounted by a white cross. But
this had a lugubrious appearance—“looks like a
headstone in a cemetery,” said the men. So a
red equilateral triangle was the next insignia and
that was worn during all of the division's war
service, while it was winning the name of “the
old Sightseeing Sixth.” Few divisions of the A.
E. F. equaled the mileage record of this division
which swept up and down various front lines, re-
lieving a hard-pressed division tiere, rushing into
support there, in reserve at other points. After
the Armistice another red equilateral triangle
was superimposed upon the first, making the red,
six-pointed star.
Seventh, division: Two black equilateral tri-
angles placed vertically upon a red circular disc,
their apexes meeting In the center of the disc.
(Figure 4). By coincidence the outline of tills de-
sign was a blocked-in numeral 7. crossed by an-
other such numeral 7, Inverted, thus forming the
two triangles. The similarity of the double tri-
angle to an hourglass was responsible for the
nickname of the division, the "Hourglass Divi-
sion."
Eighth division: A silver figure 8 pierced by a
golden arrow pointing upwards on a blue clotli
shield background. The figure 8 stood for tlie
numerical designation of the division nnd the
golden arrow symbolized the nickname of the dl-
' vision, the “Pathfinder Division," which was or-
ganized and trained at Camp Fremont, Cnllf.
Twenty-sixth division: Blue letters YD on a
khaki-colored diamond field, the letters stood for
"Yankee Division,” (Figure 23), made up of men
of New England, which was one of the first Na-
tional guard forces to enter active service.
Twenty-seventh division: A circle of black,
with a narrow border of red, on which was dis-
played In white the constellation of Orion. (Fig-
ure 6). This division, made up of national army
troops from New York city, adopted its insignia
In honor of its commander, Gen. John F. O’Ryan.
Twenty-eighth division: A red keystone (Fig-
ure 15), symbolic of the "Keystone Stnte” since
this division was made up of Pennsylvania Na-
tional guard.
Twenty-ninth division: Intertwined circles of
blue nnd gray (Figure IS) symbolical of the Blue
and the Gray of Civil war days, since the men in
this division were National guardsmen from
Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia and
the District of Columbia.

letters O. H. (Figure 14), standing for "Old Hick-
ory Division,” made up of National guardsmen
from Tennessee, North Carolina nnd South Caro-
lina, the three states which claim “Old hickory,"
. Andrew Jackson, for their own. In the middle of
tiie insignia were three Xs, the Roman numeral
for 30, the number of the division.
Thirty-first division: A triangle of white nnd
red, each half adorned with n white D (Figure
22), for “Dixie Division,” made up of men from
Dixie—National guard of Alabama, Georgia and
Florida.
Thirty-second division: A red nrrow on a
square field of khaki. (Figure 28). The arrow
worn on the sleeves of the Michigan and Wiscon
sin National guardsmen in this division pointed
forward, indicative of a promise always to go
forward, never bnck.
Thirty-third division: A yellow Maltese cross
on a black field, the emblem of the "Prairie Di-
vision," made up of National guardsmen from
Illinois and West Virginia.
Thirty-fourth division: The outline of a Mexi-
can oila or water flask In black on which up-
l>eared a red cow’s skull nnd the words “Sand-
storm Division.” (Figure 25), recalling to mem-
bers of this division. National guardsmen from
Iowa, Minnesota. Nebraska nnd North Dakota,
their training camp days at Camp Cody In New
Mexico.
Thirty-sixth division: An Indian arrowhead
with the letter T on it, the emblem of the "Pan
Iher Division” made up mostly of Texans.
Thirty-seventh division: A white O with a red
or maroon center—the O Standing for Ohio since
this division was made up of National guard
troops from the Buckeye state.
Thirty-eighth division: A red and blue shield
with the letters CY on it. (Figure 18), standing
for the “Cyclone Division," composed of Nation
al guardsmen from Indiana, Kentucky and West
Virginia, gnd typifying Its manner of movement
and accomplishment of desired ends.

numerals 70. (Figure 17). Composed of national
.army men, it was one of the three divisions to
he raised exclusively In New England (with a
quota of northern New York selected service
men). Some of its members preferred the name
"Mayflower Division” to “Liberty Bell Division”
nnd wore an emblem of the ship Mayflower on a
blue ground. Later the Liberty Bell became tiie
recognized emblem of the division.
Seventy-seventh division: An outlined figure
of tiie Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World
upon a light blue background (Figure 1!)), this
was tiie emblem of another division recalling
the Revolutionary war—Liberty and ’77. Com-
posed of New York city national army troops,
"New York's Own" was tiie first of the national
army divisions to reach France and was to have
among its units the famous “Lost Battalion.”
