hairdressing should never be lost sight
of. no matter in what particular style
the hair may be dressed.
The hair should always be dressed

once a month in winter, is sufficient.
Always dry the scalp carefully after
washing. This is one of the reasons

work so much better than a lady can do

to do it in five minutes, while she has

Don't strangle your hair to death by

and lotions, and don't starye it for need

Miss Marie Corelli is entertaining a
party of grouse-shooting ladies on her
moor in Scotland" say the English pa
pers.
This, the latest departure in woman's
activity, seems sufficient TO startle the
average old lady. Hitherto, women have
occasionally shot with their brothers and
husbands; the Comtesse de Paris used to
go out grouse shooting regularly with
the keeper or with friends, but it never
occurred even to her to take a moor en-
tirely on her own account.
