It's awful sad when papa's sick.
When papa's sick he acts that way
Until he hears the doctor say
you've only got cold, you know;
You'll be all right'n a day or So;
And then--well, say! you ought to see,
He's different as he can be,
And growls and swears from noon to

Just cause his dinner amt cooked right,
And all he does is fuss and kick

is excellent for any sort of head par
ticularly if one has just recovered from a
fever or any illness that has left the
scalp in unhealthy condition. The yolk of
an egg, one ounce of rosemary spirits and
one pint of very warm water is a simple
recipe and particularly good for dandruff.
This condition of the scalp is nearly al

1t is difficult to say how often the hair

that is naturally oily should be washed

WaDE GIRLS

The average man would laugh to scorn
an assertion that the tailor made girl has
quite as many tantaliZing things to con-
tend with in dressing herself for that
simple smartness'' characterizing her as
he himself has in arranging his own
faultless linen. He doesn't dream how
well groomed femininity has many times
a week to suppress wrath akin to that
which so freely bubbles between his own
lips because of the same aggravating ca
prices of an inoffensive looking collar but
ton. It never enters his mind that the
fetching Ascot has perhaps caused her to
storm up and down before her mirrors,
calling on the gods to come down and
help her tie the thing. He knows we'll
enough the myriad offenses of his own
neckgear and the wrath with which he
has pounced upon his laundry king, but
the shy little thing at his side-why of
course, she does not know what trou-
bic is.
The tailor made girl has to avoid the
least suggestion of ''fiuffiness." Her hair
should not look fluffy, nor the feathers on
her hat. Her shirt waist is hopeless if
not thoroughly severe, and her tie must
receive just the right twist.

Just now there is a craze for the en-
