The
lair
BRUSHING THE HAIR.

The latest word of wisdom regarding
the hair is that it must not be brushed.
"A famous London hairdresser is re-
ported as saying that those who fol-
low this antiquated method are brush
ing all the beauty Of their crowns of
glory. If head of hair which has
been so treated happens to be beautiful
1t is in spite of the brushing. not be-
cause of it. The reason assigned for
this dictum is that the new hairs are
easily destroyed, and are therefore
worn out by stiff brushing. The roots,
trying to make up for this destruction,
are forced into abnormal growth, until
their life force is exhausted, and bald
ness is the delightful result.

ULTRA NOVELTY OF THE HOUR.

ULTRA NOVELTY OF THE HOUR.
Ring patterns are especially desirable
in foulards, 1ouisines and taffetas for
useful gowns for out-of-door wear In
warm weather. In addition to the
everlasting coin-spots, pin-head dots,
fleur-de-lys and arabesques which we
have always with us, 1903 brings US a
pretty novelty in ring patterns-an
open design traced in white upon
mOdish silks. The ultra novelty of
the hour is the appearance of
checked silks, with white spots and
white rings sprinkled upon the misty
background. This is rather more chic
than the white ring pattern upon a

so fine as to give the effect Of change

JEWEL CASES OF SKIN.

Exquisite jewel boxes and porte
monnaie are made Of sharkskin that
has been bleached to extraordinary
whiteness and glstens like flint or
granite on which the sun Is shining.
Only lately, says the New York Sun,
has the artist craftsmen discovered the
secret Of doing this, and therefore these
articles come high.
A Jewel box of the rich white SUBJ
stance will have the cover and sides
1nlaid with the scales of the bone pike,
the Florida fish which supplies ma
terial preferred for inlaying mother-of-
pearl. The bone pixies scales bear
quaint markings, not unlike Chinese
characters. They are put ON in over
tapping sections, and being pale brown
and lustreless. are an interesting foil to
the highly polished sharkskin.
Many skins are being experimental
with to produce light pearl or cream
tinted feathers of requisite strength
and quality. The sea, lions skin is
used for costly articles and gold-bound
curio baskets. All the tanning, rub
bing and polishing ever resorted to
fail to obliterate those curious wavy
lines on the surface of the sea lions
skin, caused by the animals wigglng
around over the ice. Hence, it is
stamped forever with an intrinsic dec
grafton. However new the article, 1t
always presents the aspect Of an an
tique because of these odd markings.
Other jewel cases and beautiful ap-
purtenances in leather ware are de-
rived from snakeskin, alum cured, a
material so difficult to get in right
condition that the manufacturers guard
It jealousy In locked compartments.
