(By Elsis Pierce) It‘s the social season, the shopping season and very likely the permanent wave season, particularly if your hair grows slowly and you had a permanâ€" ent sometime dG@uring the summer. If you are ready for a wave, you ought to have it now. Yes, right in the midst of all the rush and tussle.

These are the salons who employ the finest exâ€" perts, yet these experienced operators take no chances of error in judgment. A good operator can judge hair and heating time but he takes the test curl to confirm his judgment. Hair that is dyed, bleach, gray or graying, hair that is coarse, hajr that is fine as a baby‘s are ho more "problem heads" than perâ€" fectly normal hair. In fact, many seeminz normal heads are very deâ€" ceiving and operators may discover that a wave will not take quite as readily as anticivated. The test curl tells the storyâ€"predicts the permanâ€" ent‘s success. Other Requisites so, one of the things to insist upon is: the test curl.

ORIGIN OF BOXES Christmas boxes got their name from the boxesâ€"made of clayâ€"in which at Christmas, apprentices had the right to collect gifts of money from their master‘s customers. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, QONTARIO ' For "Wills" each player is given a ‘half sheet of notepaper. At the top lmu:zt be written the name of the makâ€" er of the will. This, of course, can \be the name of a relation or friend or ‘some celebrity, such as a film star 'The paper is then folded over to hide ithe name and is passed to the next i player. He or she writes another name ‘and the paper is folded and passed | again. y This time each player writes some-l | thing which has been bequeathed to the : | person whose name was last written down. The game proceeds until te Writing Games Will Add to Hilarity of Christmas Parties ° Telegrams, Wills, Giveâ€"Twoâ€" g'ords, and Other Games utlined. (By A. P.) Writing games make an entertaining change for the Christmas party, and are ideal for fitting in between the more boisterous pastimes. An easy one to start off with is "Teleâ€" srams." One player calls out twelve letters of the alphabet, chosen haphazâ€" ard, and each person then writes out a telegram, using the twelve letters in order as the initial letters of the words. or twelve bequeats have been made to different persons, and the papers are then read out, to the amusement of the company. In â€" "Backwardsâ€"orâ€"Forwards" the players are asked to make a list of all the words they can think of which make sense either baskwards or forâ€" wards. For example: starâ€"rats, budâ€" dub, moorâ€"room, leper, repel. One mark is scored for each word. Words which read the same backwards or forâ€" wards score five, such as tot, bob; or ten if of five letters or more, such as civic. For "Alliteration" a letter is chosen and players must try to make the best sentence they can with every word beâ€" ginning with the chosen letter. "Cauâ€" tious Clara came cleverly carrying charming Chinese cups," is an example. In "Giveâ€"Twoâ€"Words" each player writes down any two wordsâ€"the more incongruous the betterâ€"at the top of hlS paper and passes on to the next playex This person must write some kind of verse, four lines or more, bringâ€" ing in the two words. Many may °Xâ€" claim that they cannot write poetry. but some very good results can be obâ€" tained by writing a limerick or a parody on such wellâ€"known works as "Mary had a little lamb," or "Hiawatha." Let us suppose that the words given are "mandoline" and "delight." Your efâ€" fort might be: ‘"Mary had a mandoline, She ‘played it day and night, And everybody wondered why It gave her such delight." Or, if you prefer "Hiawatha," how about this: "From its cover Hiawatha Took his mandoline and played it, Played it with delight and vigor, Till the audience shrank in horror, Shrank and writhed and squirmed in . . .‘ "CGontinuedâ€"inâ€"Ourâ€"Next" is a story told in sections. . Each player writes five or six lines of a storyâ€"ghost, thrillâ€" er, humorous, and so onâ€"and passes it on, first turning the paper down s0 that only the last line shows. The reâ€" sults are always unexpected and amusâ€" ing "Sketchâ€"andâ€"Nameâ€"It" is a drawing game, but it is not necessary to be an artist in order to play it. In fact, the léss skilful the person the more amusâ€" ing the results. Every player just draws somethingâ€"whatever he likesâ€" a scene for choice, perhaps some wellâ€" known historical event, or some recent happening which those present took part in. It must not fill up more than half the paper. The subject of the sketch is written The subject of the sketch is written at the bottom of the page and turned down so that it does not show. Then each player in turn writes down what he thinks the drawing is meant to be. The results are then read out and genâ€" crally â€"raiss a laugh. A very impresâ€" sionist sketch, purporting to be the battle of Waterloo, was diagnosed as: "Cheesemites in action," "Dipfithia germs rampant," and ‘"Dodging the traffic." 6 Men Tempted to Buy Selves Present in Tip Top Shop Large Variety of Suitines and Overcoat Materials May be Found.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS DEAD AT HOME IN CALIFORNIA Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., one of the outstanding stars of the silent motion picture days, died of heart failure on Tuesday at Santa Monica, California.

Among the picâ€" tures that brought him special proâ€" minence were:â€""The Thief of Bagâ€" dad" and ‘"Robin Hood." 3Kirkland Council \Easy on Transient Traders (From Northern News) In refusing to refund the $300 tranâ€" sient trader‘s license, with a discount of business tax, to a firm which went out of business here after two mouths, Council made a decision this week that was only fair to established merâ€" chants here, and sustained a policy which has been followed for 12 years. The transient trader‘s fee is taken not exactly as a security for staying in business, but to prevent outside proâ€" moters from coming in for a few weeks with "Fire" or "Bankrupt stock" sale, cleaning up, and leaving without conâ€" tributing a cent to community ofters, ‘To the bona fide merchant establishâ€" ing himself here, the license is not unfair, as in time it pays off his busiâ€" ness tax. If a merchant starts a business and is unable to carry on, he has to inâ€" clude his $300 in his loss. The firm in question, an American one, was hard hit by the exchange rates. But conâ€" ditions arising out of the war have also hit oldâ€"established businesses here, and they have to take their loss.
