Failing hair is a source of constant
complaint nowadays. Women who have
youth on their side naturally resent the
loss of handfuls OF hair at every appli
cation of the brush. but many OF them
take no prompt steps 90 check the evil,
and the consequence is that the hair
goes on falling through sheer neglect.
This is very often the case, but not. Of
course invariably so. Sometimes in
spite of local remedies religously APP
piled the evil continues. Weak hair

Hair experts tell us that we should
not wash the hair oftener than once I'm
four weeks. but should keep IL bright
and clean by daily, thorough brushing
and by the occasional sprinkling on of a
suitable lotion. Moist hair requires a
tonic, such as bay rum. Dry hair is the
better for an emollient lotion. such as

The first thing to do In trimming

This should always be 90 a good quality

the bias Is sufficient for a hat. so that
the difference IN the cost of a good lin
ing and "a common one is very trinlng,
while the difference in appearance Is
very great. A piece rather larger than
the crown should be cut from one end
and held IN lis place with few stitches
at each corner. The remainder OF the
strip can be cut lengthwise into two
and Joined so as TO make long strip.
This can be- fastened 60 where the brim
and crown meet, using long stitches in
side the hat and very small ones out
side. The free edge can then be turned
over and hemmcd. and when the hat
is finished china ribbon should be run
through the hem and drawn up to the
required size
10 bind the edge OF hat with velvet
crossway strip must be used. One
edge can be turned over and secured
with velvet stitch"-t. e., working
from right TO left. and taking q small
piece on the fold and then a small piece
under the fold just a little To the left.
The free edge is put on the upper edge
OF the hat and held in place with half
back stitching The other edge h then
turned 90 the underside of the brim.
The fold round the crown must be
laid on very loosely and secured i'm one
or two places with double knots passed
through and tied inside the hat. Feath-
ers. wings or quills should next be se-
curely sewed with double cotton in any
desired position. It is important To
make them stand high as amateurs al
ways sew them down as low as possi-
Bile, thus giving the hat a dowdy APP
pearance.
In making bows IT is always adris-
able 10 have a picture of a bow and
I copy it first in glazed calico cut 20 the
width OF the ribbon. The calico ribbon
should be held over the forehnger of the
left hand while the ends should be
plated up tightly and secured with
florists wire with the right hand. IL
will then be seen whether tho effect Is
right. and the loops of the real ribbon
can be made the right length 10 give
the right effect Unless the .tbbon IL OF
a very soft make the loops need not be
wired. If cupports are needed. some
round bonnet wire should be twisted TO
form a letter T and the cross part OF
the T attached to the ribbon. j,
Lace should always be wired with
very fine wire, but lace wings require
rather a coarser wire.
II piece material is used, IL should
always be cut on the cross as il sets so
much better and is much more ~
manipulate than when it is cut on the
straight. hf
