A One-Man Show with a Magic Hat

IMPERSONATING different characters by appearing in a succession of hats is a trick well-known to the stage comedian and one that you can easily perform in your home with the aid of the simple ring of felt shown here. By folding and twisting it, the wearer transforms himself successively into a general, a president, a clown, and as many other personages as ingenuity may suggest. Make the ring of heavy hat felt if procurable; otherwise, have two thicknesses of the lighter grade, that every dry-goods store sells, stitched together on a sewing machine. A mirror behind a screen will help you to adjust your hat carefully but speedily for each impersonation. To aid in learning the shapes, the indicated letters may be chalked on the ring. At the end of entertainment, pull the ring down around your neck and say, “Myself.”

New Metallic Collar Reflects Health Rays of Sun on Face

A NEW apparatus for directing the health-giving rays of the sun to the face, known as the “Rivierasonne,” has recently been introduced in Berlin. The device is made out of a thin metal and shaped like a large collar.

The metal collar collects the sun’s rays and throws them onto the face by means of a multiple reflector. Being extremely flexible, the apparatus, shown in the photo on the right, can be adjusted to any angle to catch the rays and reflect them as desired.

Stocking Cap with Goggles Shields Your Face
If you must be outside in extremely cold weather, when the face needs protection, a stocking cap fitted with goggles will offer warmth for the entire head. Get a pair of leather-framed goggles and cut down the frame so that they can be sewed in openings made in the front of the cap. When they are not needed, the goggles can be rolled back over your head.

ARE HAIRDRESSERS WEAKLINGS?

By Gasper Puglisi

I AM a ladies’ hairdresser employed by one of the leading Fifth Avenue shops in New York City, a position that brings me in contact with the best people from society, stage, and screen. My position requires me to stand a good part of the day and above all to maintain a cheerful attitude at all times.

About a year ago last fall, and at various times previously, fits of mental depression came over me. I became morbid, grouchy and felt ten years older than I was and I commenced to look it. I also began to develop an inferiority complex. I had no confidence when I spoke to my customers because I seemed to feel that life had cheated me out of a robust, healthy body. I used to dread the winter because I caught cold frequently due to my low resistance. These colds and complications robbed me of the necessary vitality needed to maintain a natural cheery attitude.

Rock-A-By Razor

This nonelectric razor gives you a dry shave when you hold it against the skin and rock it gently back and forth. Its two blades, explains the British manufacturer, cut the whiskers by a scissors movement. At the same time the guard sharpens the blades, and is said to give them a life of several years. The blades, moving in a half circle, crop the beard bristles that project through the perforated guard shown above.

Glasses Eliminate Headlight Glare

Complete comfort and safety are promised to the night automobile driver who will wear a new type of eyeshade. Colored material above the eyes blocks out the glare of approaching headlights at a distance and as the bright headlights approach, shields at the driver’s left block out the glare from that direction. It is claimed the eye glasses serve to tone down the brightness at the left side of the road and to leave perfectly clear and visible the right side where the driver is traveling.

than a clipper.
