Some Late PASSIONS.
The smart and new walking gown is
of nut brown wooden goods, effectively
trimmed with bright green and touches
of black The apron-front skirt has
pleats on the sides and in the back;
straps of green silk pass under the
pleats, overlapping, and end at the
apron-front, where they are fastened
with buttons. The short, rounded boiero
is set in narrow, closely stitched pleatS
1t opens over a soft shirt of white NOUS
seline striped crosswise with insertions
of lace. The sleeves are wide, with
stitched pleats at the top, undersleeves
by a broad wristband. The bottom of
the sleeve is edged with bias band Of
green silk The high ceinture is of black
taffetas. The quaint hat is of green
velvet and felt, with soft black osprey,
says the Commercial Advertiser.
A smart and graceful wrap of pleated
black taffetas is garment that any
woman might covet. 1t is as uSeful as
it is elegant, and as quietly tasteful as
it is handsome. 1t is embroidered in
black and white panne and sequins of
black and moonlit tintS. The Sequin now
comes in silk and cloth and panne, as
we'll as in metal and jet. This embroid-
cry, with which white silk sticheries are
blended; is unique.
The wrap elegant is just as smart this
season in cloth as it is in panne or
silk or soft satin or lace. Black and
pale-hued cloths, trimmed with bands OF
panne, satin or cloth of contrasting TINT
embroidered with silk, chenille or metal
thread are very smart. A short coat
of black and white cloth with little
shaped bands Of embroidered white and
black silks and motifs of silks down
the front, has a rose-pink velvet collar.
Apropos of velvet collars. They have
come to stay for good while. We have
been stated with lace and fur reVers
facings. A very vivid velvet on quiet
coat or a dark rich velvet on a pale coat
are happy notes. A smart tailor has just
made a coat of pale gray cloth with fac
ings of printed velvet. black and white,
bordered by a small close pattern in
silver braiding. The coat is lined with
cloth has black velvet faeings, edged
with small gold braid pattern and is
lined with creamy satin.
For Falling Hair.
Scalp massage has created revelu-
ton in the treatment of diseases of the
head and hair which result in partial
or total badness, says the New York
Time was when lotions ana ointments
were the sole resource of the man or wo-
man whose hair showed signs of de-
generation. All diseases, ali hair trou-
bles were treated in the same fashion,
and a hair tonic excellent in some cases
failed in others, for the reason that the
scalp circulation was impaired. and un-
til it was restored tonics might be pour
ed on with as much benefit as though
applied to marble surface
The excellent results produced by ia
ciaI massage in bringing about a health
full circulation of the skin suggested the
same method of treating the scalp.
The results were so favorable that
scalp massage, scientifically administer
ed, is now conceded to be a cure for
falling hair and dandruff.
BY no other method can My Lady'S
falling hair be so speedily arrested. dull
locks frightened and q luxur1ant growth
so surely produced as by scientific ma
nipulation of the scalp.
Care must be taken giving massage to
adjust the weight of the fingers and the
force employed to the patients needs.
Heroic kneading is rarely required ex-
cept for actual badness, and a clumsy
masseuse is speedily recognized by the
movements.
All scalp massage should be done from
the finger joints. wrists or elbows, never
from the shoulders
First Movement=After removal of
hairpins and combs, divide the hair into
two parts, grasp the strands near the
ends firmly, but gently, and shake thor
oughly. The hair is thus raised from
the scalp and ventilated.
Second Movement-Begin at the hair
line above the forehead with the rotary
movement, following the frontal muscle
until 1t reaches the occipitaliS muscle at
the back of the head down to the nape
of the neck, lifting the fingers after
each movement 10 avoid dragging or
breaking a hair.
Third and Fourth Movements-The
double side movement requires dizziness
Commence by placing the tips of the |
the illustration, place the tips of the
fingers together and make firm upward |
rotary movements, spreading the fingers
fanwise until they meet at the crown
of the head.
Fifth Movement-This movement is
of special value in treating badness. 1t |
is the petrisssage or deep kneading |
movement necessary to render the scalp |
flexible so that blood circulation can be |
restored.
Sixth Movement-Parting the hair and |
stroking the scalp all over the head |
shaking each strand of hair separately |
is frequent as cleansing as a shampoo. |
1t removes every scale of dandruff and |
particle of dust and is a part of every |
correct scalp massage treatment.
Seventh Movement. Press the fnegs |
down and manipulate aftez the manner |
of a shuttle back and forth This is |
called the shuttle movement.
Eighth Movement-Finish with the vi /
bratory movement. This is pleasant and |
a greater stimulant than many so-call- /
ed hair tonics. 1t recuperates and re-
stores.
The scalp masseuse should present a /
dainty personal appearance and should |
give her hands perfect care-well mani |
cured and the finger nails short enough |
