HOW TO HAVE RICH, THICK HAIR
Advice ms 20 Its Caro- During the Ap-

Cunously enough, women as a rule do
not take proper care of their scalps and
hair. The scalp. like the pores of the
fact, must be kept clean TO be in healthy
condition. The head, if inclined 10 ha

its influence the country over.
How to Press Trousers Properly.
A little while back. reference was made
to the fact that men no longer cared to
accentuate the trouser crease. 1t is neces-
sary that the trouser should appear as If
freshly pressed, but not by the force of a
ponderous weight or hot iron, and q New
York tailor has evolved for his we'll
dressed patrons what certainly seems the
best mode of keeping these garments in
perfect shape. OF light polished wood or
papier mache, he makes a Ions narrow
case which he calls a trouser box. A box
is deep enough to hold a half dozen pair
of trousers with the pressers, which are
no more nor less than long narrow boards
with handles cut In both ends. His advice
10 those who can afford It, both from a
standpoint of health and economy, is to
keep on hand at least three suits of
clothes and wear them in rotation. The
trousers worn on Monday should, at the
end of the day, be brushed, folded laid
in the long box and board laid on them.
If they are allowed to lie for two days
with the other pairs and their boards
eventually piled on top, the weight of the
whole upon the wool will have taken out
every wrinkle, and maintained the form
of the garment exactly as when it came
from the tailor's hands.
TE,e New Evening shoe.
American men undoubtedly lose some
thing in the elegance of their appearance
when in evening dress by wearing shoes
ms tesd of pumps. The black ribbon how
on the toe, the glimpse Of fine hose over
the irsteD and the light comfort OF the
eSsy patent leather slipper. all contribute
to the full dress appearance Of the dining,
dancing Londoner. Enslshmen, however.
by veason of the cheap cab service, when
once dressed for the evening, never put
theif lightly shod feet to the ground, while
the ~ erage American must take hig wav

Mr.. II. A. Vachell, author of THE Pro-
cesslon of Life" has made the visit to
New York which I noted a week or two
ago as in contemplation with him, and
now has gone on to England. He has
given his ranches and various California
interests into the charge of his brother,
and he proposes that his stay in England
shall be a rather prolonged one. He will
probably take house in London, and will
make himself as much at home in his ma
tive land as his long and still close con-
nections with California win allow him TO.
He proposes from this time on to devote
himself rather more exclusively to writ
ing than has been possible for him hither-
10. He had in hand at present book
relating the proceedings and experiences
of the Englishman in America, taking him
up In all the typical characters in which
he is wont to present himself among us,
and carrying him through the various ca
reers from marrying helresses to running
ranches, by which he undertakes to make
his fortune here. With his own large
fund of experience and observation 10
draw from, as himself an Englishman
making his way in America Mr.. Vachell
ought to be able to make of such a book
something extremely interesting and in
structive, and perhaps something extreme
~ diverting also.
