Mr.. Lamar, Mo.-You give the cheering
fact, there are several harmless hair dyes.
Will you give formula for brown hair?
The metallic hairdyes used in Europe and
this country have brought about the opin-
ion that all dyes for the head are injurious
Eastern nations dye hair as regularly as our
people shave, and the glossy black boards
of Turk and Persian are frequently due to
vegetable dyes. A brown hair dye lately
introduced in this country is said to be
made from the Persian alkenna, which may
be either the henna used by Orientals
largely as dye and cosmetic, or the alkanet
root, sometimes called alkennin. The juice
of green walnut sheels mixed with olive oil
is said to darken the hair safely. The shells
of beans are said to have coloring proper
ties like those Of walnuts. Before using
any dye the hair and scalp should be
washed with borax to cleanse and remove
the oil of the head, which would prevent
the dya from taking" we'll. When the
hair is dry the dye is to be combed into it,
and the head covered with an oil-silk cap
for the night.
Aga-What will prevent the hair from
coming out?
Keeping the scalp clean and we'll brushed
daily, with application OF dark yellow vase
line at night. This will also promote new
growth. Or you may try vaseline dissolved

THE GOSSIP OF THE HOUR.

Round Tables A6eceed by Hostesses Now
Novel Dinner Decorations-A Club OF
Women Over Fifty Years-New ideas
for Entertainme ents-The Hungry Foor.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.I
Round tables have almost entirely super
seded long ones in the fashionable dining
room. At very large dinners the company
is broken up at small tables, but up to two
dozen guests or thereabouts round tables
are used almost entirely. It is the ideal
form of dinner board, so faras the decora-
tive possibilities go, although its width
across is claimed to interfere with general
conversation. The talk literally runs round
the table and not much across 1t. Neces-
sarily circle to seat from Is to 80 persons
describes wide circumference; many New
York tables are so wide that the attendants
in laying them have to walk on them to
place the center pieces. What are termed
millinery effects" have been creeping Of
late into dinner decorations. Judieiously
used and with environment in harmonious
richness they are very effective.
At dinner given bv Mrs. Van Renssaeler
Cruger a striking and gorgeous effect was
produced by cloth Of gold scarf which lay
through the center Of the table, and was
fanked at intervals on the polished table
with gold filigree baskets filed with glow
ing red roses The center piece was tall
gilded vase rising from bed of the same
bloom Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, another So
cial magnate, employed pink and black
tuIle to excellent advantage. From silver
center piece piled with pink roses full folds
of the tulle alternately pink and black
radiated at intervals toward the
covers, finishing before each plate in
bunch of roses. Other punches tied with
pink ribbons lay about carelessly on the
black tulle strips. Still, third dinner was
a green and white one, where the somewhat
new decorative feature of wreaths was en-
ployed. A large wreath of white tulips and
ferns surrounded the tall silver vase in the
center which held more of the same flowers
and greens. Wreaths encircled the base of
the candelabra, the raised bonbons dishes
and all permanent table fixtures, and the
cluster of wine glasses at each cover were
also wreaths girdled. The ices at this
dinner were served in white tulips set in
wreaths of fine ferns.

NEW FRENCH MILLINERY.

The Styles are Decided Innovations-What
Paris Beauty Can Accomplishing
Tiny Straw Pokes-How Poor Women
Can Get Good Results.
WRITTEN FOR THE DrsPArcH.I
The great French bonnet composers who
determine the styles for elegant chapeaux
have embodied their ideas for the spring
and summer, and several Of these creations
are illustrated herewith. Chic Is their
quality and recherche, and pervading them
is grace peculiarly feminine. 1t is won
derful that such results are obtained from
apparently outrageous ideas Who but a
French woman could, for example, cut
straight off the front arc Of brim and I'LL
its place with an enormous bow; build up to
four inch height a crown too small for the
head, and top 1t with straw Of another
color, that fanges over like pot cover;
founce the rim round with lace, and pro-
duce something altogether fascinating and
lovely. One can only gasp and believe.
Our first drawing imperfsctly sets forth the
result. Note this hat, for 1t has several es-
sential features The cut off front; the Al
satan bow; the high narrow crown; the lace
frill. In particulars this hat is OF fine
Tapped yellow straw, with rough black
straw for the crown top. The bow is of
black velvet, the lace white; the flowers,
lilies of the valley, with, at their base, a
knot of blue violets, giving an exquisite
finish of color. This hat is model tor car
riage and dress wear
It becomes my duty to call attention to
the rakish droop of the hat In another pict-
ure. The appearance is given Of being set
on the head sideways, but this effect is pro-
duced by the rim which rises as it crosses

gain the stirrup at will She might as well
be tied to the saddle as stiffly held be-
tween leapin g-horn and stirrup. Some
women ride with the foot ''home." j. e.,
thrust fully in; but this does not give her as
elastic hold against the third pommel as
to carry the stirrup under the ball of the
foot. Both ways should be familiar.
Few women have perfect seat. Many
have safe but defective seat. A woman
who rides in the middle of her horses
back and rises square to trot, who is both
graceful and strong in the saddle and has
good hands, is rarely found. Such seat
and hands are attainable if the rider will
accept criticism kindly. The seat depends
on the position of the legs. The right leg,
from the knee down, should hang perpen-
dicularly over the horn; the left leg should
rise perpendicularly from stirrup to knee.
Many women hang the left leg back and
thrust the right foot forward; both are ugly
and fatal defects. The left knee should
be firm against the saddle flap. The back
bone must be perpendicular from the Gen.
ter of the saddle, except when leaning to
trot; the shoulders at right angles to it and
equally advanced. There should be no
rigidity, but that perfect ease which habit
alone yields. Few men or women walk
well; fewer ride well. But it is an art to
aim. DismouEting is about as easy as get
ting out Of carriage. 1t may be done
gracefully or ungracefullv. An active wo-
man can slide to the ground without assist
anco. Be sure your skirts are clear of your
horse, and your feet clear of everything.
The rest comes readily.

A notion suggested in Paris among fash
ionables is the payment by guests at dinners
of small coin to the hostess, who turns it
over to the hungry poor. The coin must be
of fixed value to prevent any comparisons
of generosity, and the attempt is being
made to make the custom so universal as to
admit of no thought of evasion or non-com-
pliance. There is certainly philosophy in
it, and Its adoption would mean great rev.
enue for charity. In Germany no gen.
tleman bites his cigar; he takes out
tiny knife kept for the purpose and cuts
off the end, placing the morsel of tobacco
thus obtained in a little metal box which he
invariably carries In many public places,
saloons, clubs and the like, are receptacles
into which the boxes are emptied and from
which by persons regularly employed the
deposit Is collected. The tobacco is soldfor
the benefit of the orphans and its yearly ac-
cumulation amounts to many thousands of
pounds
Cards, vases and prayer books show deli
cate tints and exquisite designs Many
have silver and gold binding on corners and
clasps. A beautiful prayer book intended
for an Easter bride is of white kid with
delicate silver rim like cord and central
ornament Of silver set with turquoises
