mOre r1pDon go up from the DelC OF Ind

hoops low in front and back.
Ladies' who contemplate travelling much
during the summer, will find it to their ad-
vantage to have for the purpose dress Of
ecro canvas, The skirt which escapes the
ground entirely, is close-ftting In front and
sides, and has two double box plaits at the
back. Over this plain skirt comes an upper
skirt, which fits smoothly over it and Is
cut in deep poin>at the front, and in
shorter one at each side. The hat for this
travelling dress is an ecru sailor, with
band Of white ribbon and four high and
stiff bows for its decoration. .
But the first consideration In travelling Is
comfort, appearance being secondary; but
when both can be gained without extra
trouble or expense, it is q great desider-
WE'LL WORTH REMEMBERING.
Ordinarily" writes an American woman,
who Is as famous for her literary ability az
she Is for her common sense, "I pay very lit
tie attention to recipes and hints I see pub
Ished In newspapers and magazines. Yet In
bit Of wisdom or good advice well worth
preserving Is not rejected under the impress
sion that 1t Is q recipe for new way to boil
an egg." This woman's taste in the matter
will always be kept in view, as representing
the taste Of every other sensible woman, In,
editing things worth remembering for this
department.

Of the hair are each supplied with blood
vessel Of it's own, and with proper nerves,
though the latter do note1tend into the hair
itself? On the health Of the roots Of the hair
the whole growth depends. On either side
Of the root, and little above It, are two.
two small glands, which secrete an oily sub
stance that gives gloss to the hair, and the
glands serve to protect the roots Of the hair
from becoming clogged with dust. Each
separate hair is hollow tube, and through
its length is conveyed the food essential to
health and growth. The condition OF the
hair Is generally fair indication of the gen.
eral constitution. When the skin is dry and
hard the hair is apt to be thin and harsh,
and as easily broken as a dry reed,
which it resembles. Harsh rubbing is posi-
lively injurious to the hair. Gentle friction,
sufficient to excite the blood vessels, without
COMPRISING them, so as to lead to engorge-
ment, is all that is necessary in the way OF
capillary exercise. The hair should not be
washed more than once week, and when
soap is used, little vasaline should be rub
bed into the scalp to supply the place OF the
natural oil that has been taken away. 1t can
be stated as curious fact in this connection,
that no matter what the color Of the hair may
be in reflected light, all hair has the same
color in transmitted light, that is, red. Ono
word OF advice good health, as rule, means
O. healthy condition Of the hair. Many people
have the foolish habit Of pulling out the first
gray hairs that appear. Anything more fool
ish in this connection could not be ioagined.
They simply break off the hairs at the roots,
and the decayed nutriment escapes, inocula-
ting the other hair in the vicinity, thus Teri-
tying the truth Of the old adage: "Kil one
gray hair, and ten other gray hairs will come
to the funeral"
SIMPLICITY IN SLEEPING RooMs.-A lady
nOue0 LOT ner SoOQ taSte anu Her unusufS
ability as q housekeeper, says that everything
about sleeping room should be simple, i'm
maculate, and easily keptso. Bedrooms may
be either cerpeted with mating, or the floors
oiled, and rugs placed beside the beds. II
the walls are papered, the colors should be
modest and the pattern subdued.
The windows should be curtained 50 as to
be uniform with the rest of the house; but
too much drapery is an abomination, and it
should be entirely dispensed with in sick
room. The bedroom is what its name i'm
plies, place of repose, and everything about
it should be conducive to the one purpose of
sleeping. Pictures and garish furniture, or
articles not actually necessary to the comfort
of the occupant, should be entirely ignored
Above all things, q sleeping apartment should
be flooded for at least one hour during the
day with golden sunlight and have in at night
an abundance Of fresh air, taking care the
while that the sleeper is not exposed 10 q
draft.
