Trea ing Baby's Hair.

In caring for an infant from it's earliest
moments until grown large enough to care
for its own needs, the hair should receive
the most careful attention.
Many mothers think that the heads of
infants, whether covered early by a thick
growth of hair or a fine, almost invisible
down, need little washing, consequently
a thick coating as white as the scalp at
first, but gradually darkening with age.
until of an ugly brown color.
Through this growth the hair must
force itself if it grows at all, and often
the weak little hirsute arrangements be-
comes discouraged, and sends out only
a few struggling hairs where a thick.
short down should appear.
To encourage healthy growth the in
fant,s head should be washed daily. Just

This keeps the head clean and free from

The American Colony i'm Paris

1t is probably true, as is suggested in a
current periodical by Baron Pierre de
Coubertin, that if the American colony in
Paris were less numerous the Parisians
would have fewer false IDEAS about the
United States. Il am afraid" he adds
that the majority of the Frenchmen
who reside in America have contributed
great deal toward giving the people
there bad idea of France" This appre>
hension seems hardly to be we'll founded
Most Americans get their impressions of
the French either from travelling or liy-
ing in France, or from French books and
periodicals. They don't form impressions,
either favorable or adverse, about the
French IN France from the French in
America. French people and France are
very closely associated in the minds of
their observers. There are many French
people, many good and useful ones. in
this country, but there is no group of
them which is so conspicuously represent
atlve-or misrepresentation the per-
manent American colony at Paris. It is
composed Of people who may choose
where they will live, and who choose
Paris because they like better to live
there than at home. In that preference
they differ from the great majority of
the Americans, and the bases of the diff
ferences are personal peculiarities, or I'M
usual tastes or circumstances which eX-
pressly disqualify them from giving a
trustworthy impression of the tastes and
sentiments of the rest of their country
men. 1t is not necessarily that they are
either better or worse than the rest of us.
but they are different. Baron Coubertin
speaks of them as ladies and gentlemen
who are very agreeable to meet. and
whose elegance and grace are greatly
appreciated Very good. Still he is right
in his conclusion that the impression they
give of American character is not one
that it is safe to accept.-Harper's Week

and then wash with plenty of CASTLE SOAP

If all the scurf is rot removed by the
first application, renew it next morning

When the children's hair is trashy" or

Rub the mixture in thoroughly, and

Oughly when dry. Never use q wet brush
on the children's head TO keep them in
order; rather brush them and wash them
until they become silken and pliable, re-
naming as arranged by the natural life
and oil of the hair itself.
Never use oils or dressing on a child's
hair. Perfect cleanliness is more to be
desired than the sickness oils impart

hold dust that settles upon the scalp, in
juring the growth and ygor of the hair

Clipping the ends Of the hair when they
have become frayed and split stimulates

which, with perfect cleanliness and per-
sistent brushing, will soon repay in silken
luxuriance the care bestowed upon them.
