Caps won't prevent hair from turning
gray. neither viii they keep it from fall

other preventive. and restorative agencies
which may be employed, BY simply root

on by brush and comb.
1 An exaggerated amount of brushing,
braiding, pinni1lg and twisting plays the
mischief with hair that is not unusually
| fully of vigor and recuperative quality;
/ and above all things has the modern xe-
1 travagant use of tucking combs. big shell
and wire pins weakened delicate scalps.

pins and combs to dress her locks in a
fashion that will fill the family circle
with pleasure at the sight of her.
! A neat, sn1ar.ly arranged head is the
modern woman's glory, and she will pa

/ times a day in order to feel that It
presents the most orderly appearance.
This is a high ambition, but the too
| frequently combed and brushed scalp
/ can't endure such heroic treatment ane

/ is to be left more in peace, and, accord

| biggest success this winter in treating
thin, dry or fading hair, the finest tonic
| she can recommend is forbearance in the
application with a brush and the adopt
tion of caps.
When a scalp is devitaIized 1t should
only have the hair thereon dressed and
pinned uR elaborately, just once a day.
| The morning hours, or those spent at
home, should, if possible, be taken adj
vantage of for giving the hair its re-
| lease from bondage.
On rising this hairdressersi patients
are allowed to use a very big, broad
toothed comb for merely Strengthening
the treases The scalp is, if possible, not
| touched, but if the nair is falling badly,
not even this comb is used. The iength h
of the locks is massed on top of the
head, a big curved pin OF aluminium is
| run through it, and then over it all is
| tied or pinned a becoming cap.
1t may be a Martha Curtis mob, a
| Puritan mutch, or a charming three
cornered bit of old lace fastened under
the chin and called a Queen Adelaide
kerchief, but the cap whatever it's mode,
must be large enough to cover all the

the crisp and becoming cap was then
adopted in the morning hours, and with a

Exquisite Queen Adelaide kerchiefs of

as the finishing touch with a tea gown

breakfast tray in bed and interviews the
doctor in caps that have come from the

makers.
aOf course, it is a fad,' laughed the
| hairdresser, who had started the cap
cure, but fer all that, it is fad with
| its beneficial as well as les beautiful
sioe. and if more women wore caps in
doors and rested their hair and scalps we
would have as few cases of incipient
badness to treat as occur among the SER
slble negresses who leave their heads in
peace under a tgnon and who often live
to eighty without knowing gray hair.
The habit of restless discomfort and un-
happiness is the worst boomerang of all,
| says Ella Wheeler Wilxox in February
Success There is a discomfort which

/ that which causes man or woman to De
forever despising today regretting yes

| Fer such a person, there is no tomorrow.
There are men who, as boys, hated school

| hope of being able to retire IN timeand en-
joy life in travel and social relaxat tion
and domestic contentment They do not
realize the truth that happiness must be
practical all along the journey Of life, o.
| it can never be put into exercise later.
Unless we find something every day to
/ BE happy over we shall never be able TO
| fully enjoy any blessing which may como
to u.s. Continual discomfort shapes the

/ good luck can twist it back into harmon

The man who has never learned the les

relentless boomerang.
This special order of boomerang more
