MIDSUMMER HAIR HINTS.
How TO Insure Enhancing Locks for
the Return to Town.

How TO Insure Enhancing Locks for
the Return to Town.
The girl whose mind is not hopelessly
given over to the frivoHties and vanities
Of summer resort life will avail herself
Of vacation opportunities to enhance one
Of her chief attractions-her hair. The
prevailing custom Of riding, walking, boat
ing and playing the various outdoor games
without a hat will prove her strongest
ally in the good work If only she will give
a little time and thought to this important
matter.
Hair culturists-and, by the way. this is
now recognized as a profession Of some
dignity in every large city-assert that in
the early fall they ave their greatest
rush of customers, drawn almost entirely
from the ranks of people who have been
out Of town, presumably recuperating for
their winters work or social duties. Body,
nerves and mind have been rested and
cared for, but the hair has been woefully
neglected during this season OF the year
most trying on woman's crown OF glory.
In the first place, the hair being classed
with vegetable groWths. renews its life
with the rest Of nature In the spring and
this fresh crop, so to speak. should be
tended with loving care to insure an even.
luxurious growth by fall. Secondly, heat
and perspiration invite frequent shampoos
and II this is not properly done serious
damage may be wrought Even the better
class OF summer resdft hotels do not al
ways afford the conveniences OF the mod
ern city home. Unless a woman pat
ronizes a reliable hair dresser she should
learn to care for her own hair properly.
The last is the best plan. for reliable
hair dressers are not always to be found
at summer resorts.
At least once a week shampoo thor
oughly with the following MIXTURE:
Lay a cake OF the purest soap obtain
able in a quart vessel, a pitcher affording
the best facilities. Add a pint Of boiling
water and stir until a strong lather Is
formed. Lift out the cake Of soap. and,
II the hair is very oily. add a tea%spoonful
OF bdearbonate o. soda. Never use am
monia or powdered borax. Wash hair and
scalp thoroughly with this mixture while
still warm, and rinse with warm water.
Never yield TO that very natural tendency
In hot weather 10 use cold water for rims
ing. The sudden change In temperature
is bad for both hair and scalp. II the
hair Is exceptionally dry, a teaspoonful
OF sweet almond oil may be added to the
final rinse water.
Il is in drying her hair thai the average
summer girl does the greatest mischief
She should beware the rough Turkish

toweling, using with as little energy as
possible an old, soft towel. Then let the
sun complete the work, lifting the hair
both to ventilate 1t and to let the sunlight
penetrate to the scalp. This will in a
measure ward of the formation of strata
Of hair in different shades.
An unforgivable custom is hat of wash
ing the hair just before retiring. There
are girls SO intent upon daytime pleasures
that they wash their hair after dark, aud,
with a half-hearted rubbing, they retire,
leaving the loose and still moist LOCKS
hanging over the edge OF their pillow to
dry out during the night.
Another evil habit for the hair is per-
hitting salt water to dry on the scalp.
Surf bathers. especially those who sum-
mer regularly by the sea, are apt to under
value the effects of failure to shield the
hair from salt water. II 1t penetrates
round the edges of the bathing cap or
kerchief. rinse the hair thoroughly in clear,
fresh water. A shampoo is not necessary.
Salt water drying in the hair means harsh
locks and irritating scalp diseases.
. Eschew the brush In summer, and let
your w~atchword be "ventilate." Brushing
the hair does not stimulate the scalp. 1t
merely makes the hair smooth and glossy,
which can better be accomplished by gently
rubbing strands OF hair between the fingers.
The best method Of stimulating the scalp
is massage, which any girl can practice, in
stead CT the old-time injunction Of 100
strokes nightly with a stiff bristle brdsh.
Lift the hair up from the scalp. allowing
the air to pass through 1t close to the
roots, and gently massage, using the balls
Of the fingers, never the tips.

FOUR SOLDIERS HER HUSBANDS.
Illinois Woman CbOse Fighters OF
Approved Bravery.

Approved Bravery.
Few women have the luek-good or bad,
as Il may be, viewed from different stand
points-of wedding four times, aud even
those who have had such experiences can
not boast of having had four soldiers as
husbands, as can an Illinois woman now
residing in Missouri. When John II. Boyd
marched away from his Illinois home to
fight on the side OF the union in the civil
war he left q sweetheart behind. When
he returned home his sweetheart had moved
with her parents to Missouri. And as the
sweetheart. whose maiden name was Car
ter. never again heard from her soldier
lover she decided he was dead or had for
gotten her and married. Her first hus-
band died and she married another, and
when her second died she married an
other named Norton, who also died.
Boyd also married once and his wife
died. A few year ago these former sweet
hearts, both now grown gray, met at Garth
age for the first time since he marched
away a brave young soldier in Uncle Sans
blue. Recognition on both sides was In
slant, The next day then went before JUS
tice Claude Berry at Carthage and were
married. This is not the first time I
have been married." remarked the patriotic
and experienced bride to the Justice after
the knot had been securely tied. II have
been married four times n every man
who has been my husband has been an old
soldier"

ANCIENT ORDER OF PILGRIMS.
Membership Has Increased During the
Past Year

Past Year.
Corsicana, Texas, July 3.-The afternoon
session of the annual conclave of the An
Client Order of Pilgrims yesterday was
largely devoted to the hearing of the re-
ports of the supreme scribe. j. D. Ryan Of
Houston, and the supreme locker. ]. H.
Crawford of Prairie View.
Tue scribe's report was voluminous doc
ument, giving minute details of the or
year. Among the leading items was the
statement that while no new branches,
sanetuaries ana homes had been instituted
during the year and while two or three
sanctuaries had dropped out, the member
ship had increased and more money had
been collected than ever before potwith-
standing the cost to the individual member
Is now less than 1t was prior TO to the con
cave last year This healthy condition
Of affairs the scribe declared had been
brought about by dllgent attention to
details provided for oy the new constitu-
tion Of the order enacted at the last an.
nual sitting.
Special mention was made of the investi-
CATION of the orders affairs in January
last by Mr.. j. G. Gathright Of the depart
ment Of insurance, statistics and history
That official took especial pains after an
elaborate, Investigation to commend the
work and the methods by which IL was
accomplished His chief crticisnl-his only
one In fact--was that the unusually strict
attention to details In making up and re-
porting accounts was an unnecessary tax
on the financial resources OF the insttu-
ton.
Twenty members->d died during the year.
In seventeen Of these cases partial pay
ment of $50 had been made to the heirs
of deceased In from ten to thirty days from
the occurrence. The other three deaths had
been of such recent occurrence as To pre-
clude the possibility of first partial pay
ment prior to the converting OF the con.
clave.
The scrihe's estimate was that the final
sum paid the heirs would in the aggregate
be larger than that heretofore paid.
