Indignation is rife among the members Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union In New
Jersey because of the cold reception accorded TO
the Christmas baskets sent to the employees of the
street railways After there had been several ac-
cidents. some weeks ago on the trolley lines or
Plainfied. some OF the women of the society wrote
to the officers Of the company in Newark stating
IL as their belief that drinking among the con-
ductors and motormen the real cause OF the
hccloents copy OF the letter was afterward
posted IN the car barns, where the men could see

vowed vengeance. When. Christmas. the Woman 9

on that day. the gifts were declined with the
message that contributions from the Woman 8

WHAT TO DO FOR THE HAIR.
THE CORRECT WAY TO SHAMPOO IT-COIF-
FUREs OF THE MOMENT.

One OF the most popular hairdressers Of this city
gives the following hints care 81 the hair;
I'm the first place II is a great mistake to take
too much of the hair Many women have an
idea that II ought to be shampooed every week or
two. which, in fact. is positively harmful the
hair should not be washed oftener than once
month. and when naturally dry. not more than
in five or six weeks.
In the second place the shampooing must be
thorough, If the soap is not removed TO the
last atom, it does harm than good. I had

stimulate the scalp is TO IL carefully every
night before going to bed, In the morning. One
must be careful to do II properly. Merely to rub
the roots of the hair is OF use but rather hurt
