Hints as to Its Proper Care By One Who

Concerning gray hair there seems to be no
rational theory for change in the color Of the
hair except that of loss Of pigment-cOlor and
presence of ga seous matter in the lair shat.
This may be the result of natural or artificial
causes. Probably among Americans the early
age at which the hair blanches is due largely
to nervous conditions Mental and physical
disturbances undoubtedly often affect the Sc
creting apparatus of the hair, destroying col

the change of hair from dark to white IN a
single night through the cerebral excitement

stroyed, be restored.
Do not believe the quacks who pretend 10

For a Sweet Breath.

Don't expect to have clean teeth or sweet
breath while there is tinge of white on the
tongue. 1t is an unmistakable evidence ofin-
digestion. Drink sour lemonade, eat ripe
fruit and green vegetables for purgatiyes; ex-
ercise freely; use plenty of water internally
and externally. and keep up the treatment
until the mouth is clean, healthy and red.
Various things are suggested 10 counteract
an unpleasant breath resulting from a bad
tooth, wine, or garlic-scented dishes. Cinna-
mon. mint creams, orris root, cloves, mastic-
resin, and spruce gum will disguise some
odors. Ten drops of tincture of myrrh in a
glass of water Will sweeten and refresh the
mouth; a teaspoonful OF spirits OF camphor or
peppermint i'll the same garg.e is among the
best antiseptics, and few drops OF myrrh
and camphor in the water are recommended
in case of cold, throat trouble. or any slight
indispOsition which may affect the breath.

Young Woman Does Her Mile and a
Half Without Trouble.
One Of the fairest residents of White Bluff
proved herself an admirable long-distance
swimmer last Tuesday night, and in doing SO
won large box of gloves and one or two
other things that delight the girls heart.
The young lady a few days ago was COM
menting upon her swimming abilities, when
one OF her companions wagered her that she
could not swim from the bathhouse in front
OF Mrs. Converses to the bathhouse in front
of the Habersham residence a distance Of
about mile and a half. 1t took about one
sixteenth of a second for the swimmer TO ac-
cept, and preparations we're made for the
contest
Last Tuesday evening was decided upon as
the time for the swimming test, and all ar
rangements were made for it. A young man
who is an excellent swimmer himself volun-
teered to swim beside the young lady, and a
boat was also procured 10 be rowed along at
safe distance. SO that If the party should
give out in their bold undertaking they could
be lifted into the boat and taken ashofe.
The start was made about o'clock on
Tuesday evening. The news of the event had
spread among the residents of White Bluff,
and there was a good number of friends at
the starting point The fair swimmer made
a dive into the water and was off. With a
steady overland swimming stroke she pro-
PEELED herself with case and grace through
the water, and had soon distanced the young
man who had volunteered to go along and see
that no harm came to her The event was
soon over. AS the distance bet geen the young
lady and the goal lessened she swan the
faster. and when some of the watchers thought
the young lady should have been about start
ing out the race was over and she had won an
easy victory.
M Al, A.,
rapidlty with which she accomplished the
feat, one must be perfectly at home in the
water. Many persons of the male persuasion
who consider themselves excellent swimmers
would not attempt the task. BY swimming
as she did, the lady has shown herself to be
the champion lady swimmer in or around

The aesthetic mat-on of to-day encircles the
waist of her flowing house gown Of japanese
crepe in apple blossom, chrysanthemum or
porcelain-blue hue. with girdle of jet beads
and cabochons strung on elastic. The strands
are held together with jet slides, and ornate
clasps hold the front For matronly wear
there are ribbon trimmings of moire, with jet
ornaments placed along the center and jetted
point d'esprit quillings at the edges. The
neck bows of finely plated chiffon in quiet
tints and fancy coors are quite the vogue
when caught into place with big jet pins or
buckles The black and white combination,
still in favor. is carried even into evening COS
tunes. A prodigal use OF ostrich feathers
will characterize the fall millinery.

Reantv from a paner Toy.

For the woman who wants to fill out the
hollows of her face and neck and wants pink
cheeks O good idea Is to buy some of these
pretty paper fishes or odd-shaped little bags
to be found in the japanese shops. If a
woman will spend five minutes day putting
at one of these she will find her face filing
our and the air which will be driven in and
out of her lungs will increase the height OF
her chest and set the blood in circulation
through the face. bringing a faint pinkish
tinse to her cheeks. 1t will not be so pink as
the kind that is bought in the drug stores, but
the woman will be surprised in six months at
the change in her looks.

Reform Laundrics.

Laundry work reached such a state in Eng
land that ladies have now gone into the busi-
ness to effect reforms, if possible. Several
model laUndries have been started by de
cayed gentlewomen" The latest is the Ladies'
Laundry Association of Twickenham, which
claims TO be an ideal laundry. One of the
ladies is in attendance each day. Among
other things the ladies are very particular as
to the character of the hands they employ.
Hours and time for rest and meals are pro-
yided for very generously. The time is from

squeezer you are sure to get lot of the es-

that is rank poison to the stomach The best
way TO get the juice from lemon is TO roll it
till it is soft, then cut off the end and insert II
silver knife and scrape the pulp out into the
dish. That way you get al the good of the
lemon and none of the bad. Roll them under
your hand on a hard table, or put the lemon
down on the floor and roll it lightly under
your foot. Then wipe it off before squeezing.
Never leave the seeds of lemon in the pulp
that you take out. The seeds will make the
juice very bitter. and in half an hour after

To Clean black Dresses.

Here is preparation which is s'excellent for
cleaning soiled black dresses: Take two parts
of soft water to one part of alcohol, or, if
there be paint spots on the stuff, spirits OF

mixture, and rub breadth at a time on both
sides, stretching the material on a table.
