can be rolled out very thin. Cut out the
cookies and bake on a buttered pan in
quick oven.
Soft ginger cookies may be made by
mixing together two cups Of brown sugar,
one OF butter and one of molasses, in

milk two tablespoonful of ginger, or one
each of ginger and cinnamon, and add
flour enough to make a stiff batter, but
not stiff enough to roll. Have a baking
pan buttered and drop spoonfuls of the
mixture on the pan allowing space for

are better when fresh and warm. they

TO the taioTmade girl as they climbed up
on the high stools at the lunch counter.
is it?" responded the tailor made girl,
and then she ordered fried oysters, straw
berry ice cream, and two chocolate
cellars, adding: And please have them
fat, waiter" meaning the cellars, not the
oysters.
Yes" said she of the pink shirtwalst,
| not forgetting in her despair to call for
| lobster salad, a glass of iced milk, and a
piece of cherry pie, its dropping out
like fury. Looks like a mattress fac
tory around my room when l comb it,"
why don't you use some good tonic on
it night and morning?" suggested the
tailor-made as she went for her fried oys-
tiers.
Use some good tonic?" repeated the
other scornfully. well. guess I have
| I've used no less than ten gallons, and
washed my hair in sage tea and all kinds
of soap and let il down in the air and
goodness only knows what l haven't done,
but il hasn't stopped coming out one bit"
Il beg your pardon" spoke up a sweet
faced little woman seated on the opposite
side of the counter but why don't you
diet l sympathize with any one whose
hair is falling out. 1 had magnificent
head of hair"
'Niou have now, !" broke in the shirtwaist
girl.
The little woman blushed, smiled sra
ciously, and went on, says the New York
Sun.
But it began to come out by handfuls,
until I thought ] wasn't going to have
enough left to do up. | was travelling
abroad at the time, and people told me
that was the reason-that everybody's
hair dropped out on a trip abroad. That
/ didn't console me, SO l consulted an emil
nent physician in Paris. He told me that
the relation of diet to the hair had been
tested by good authority and told me to
/ begin to live principally upon vegetables
/ and grain foods and that my hair would
| stop coming out. lie said that too much
! beef starchy materials, and milk causes
! atrophy of the roots, and of course the
] hair comes out as result of this coudi-
! ton. He Furthermore declared that milk
/ wa nQ 1iff Of oil for ho hnt
! and that the loss of hair in fever patients
/ was largely due to feeding them almost
/ entirely on milk. Another thing ne told
me was that it was a rare thing to see
| bald-headed Scotchman, ana gave as u
| reason their fondness for their staple diet,
porridge. 1 observed for myself when l
went to Scotland, and I assure you 1 saw
only three bald-headed natives"
Did you take his advice" asked the
tailor-made, digging into chocolate cellar
number two.
Il did, and in three months after going
on a grain and vegetable diet 1 could
| brush and comb my hair for two hours
at time and not a strand would fall out
Furthermore. it became glossy and alive
| with co.or, and baby hairs began to come
out all over my head. You understand,
didn't give up meat entirely, but l drank
| no milk, and was careful to eat only plain
! wel-cooked, nourishing food. After all
| you know, the condition of the hair de-

are in perfect physical condition you
aren't going to be much bothered with
shedding hair. / do think that diet has
everything to do with 1t, however, since
| being told that woman who have fine heads
of hair are known to live principally upon
vegetables. fruits, and grains. Take my ad-
| vice; give up lobster salads and pies and
| eat palmer nourishing things, and you'll
find wonderful change in your hair
know, for I've tried it,"
THANK you, so much" called out the
Sirl in the pink shirt waist, as her volun-
teer adviser disappeared. Now, wasnt
she nice?" she went on, turning to her
companion. Not many women would
have spoken up that way, would they ?
Most women won't go out of their way to
tell one another something that improves
the looks. Pshawl don't believe fine
head of hair is worth il, do you? Think
of dieting! 1t makes me sick to think of
it. I'd hate to give up salads and pies
most of all. Really, do you believe it's
worth it,"
"Wel, it's just this way" answered the
taiior-made girl. You can do with skinny
hair, and uneven ugly hair now because
you are young and have a beautiful COM
p.exion, but it will be different when you
grow old you know. Women need all the
lovely, well-kept hair 1t is possible for
them to have then Imagine yourself in
one Of these false fronts and a switch! l
don't believe you'd be a bit pretty"
"Oh. ye gods" groaned the other II
hadn't thought of that. / shall begin to
diet tomorrow. So guess I'll order an
other piece of pie-apple this time. waiter
and a cream puff. That little woman GER
tainly had a lovely head of hair and did
you see all of those dear little baby hairs
coming out around her forehead and neck
| Yes, believe there's something in this re-
lation of diet to the hair. IL sounds sem
sible anyway and I'm surely going to try
it,"
Il would" answered her friend, eating
her seventh pickle.
Inquiries are made occasionally about

Compass whist is so called because the
