were broken at the Auditorium last
night when the standing room sign was

most of the mirth. The performance

An AnecdOte of Lincoln

Mary Owens. and admired her, though
not extravagantly. From all accounts.
she was an unusual woman. She was
tall. full in figure, had blue eyes. dark
hair. and was we'll educated. She re-
turned to New Salem in 1886, and Lin
coin at once began to call upon her,
enjoying her wit and beauty. At that
time she was about 2S years old.
One day Miss Owens and another
woman were ascending steep hill, on
the way to a friends house, when Lin
coin joined them. He walked behind
with Miss Owens, and talked with her
quite oblivious of the fact that her
friend was carrying q very cross and
heavy baby. When they reached the
summit Miss Owens said, laughing:

quently made. To make the emery-bag
proper, use bit of very firm muslin or
dress-lining about two inches long and
little over one inch wide. Double this
in the middle, and turning in the width
of a seam at the sides and ends, sew the
sides together with the finest and closest
of over-and-over stitches; for close sew
ing is absolutely necessary to hold the
emery. There is probably an old emery

opening in the smaller end of the bag

over this, and gently poke and squeeze
until the contents are transferred
emery is not pleasant stuff to handle
then draw the ends very tightly togeth-
er, like a bag, and sew securely.
The next step is the ribbon covering.
This is of satin one inch in width, and
three pieces will be needed-one of
royal purple four inches long, and two
of pale yellow, one of which is two
inches, the other one inch, in length.
The purple strip is doubled over the lit
tie bag, and overhanded together with
sewing-silk to match. When this is
done, and the ends drawn together, the
appearance of the work should be like

however, be shorter in proportion to it's

Luxurfant Hair Is Beautiful Thing
to Have. and Every Girl Can
Have 1t, Too.

NEARLY every girl can have luxuriant
hair II she knows how to cultivate It
properly, but 80 out of 100 are ignorant
as to the right methods to employ" said
the nairdresser to President Roosevelt's
family, in convtrsation with a Tribune
reporter, while in New York city recent
ly. THE principal thing to look to-" he
continued, lis to keep the hair and scalp
thoroughly clean, but not overdo it.
For normal head of hair shampooing
once month is quite sufficient II one is
living in the country. In large cities,
however, where there is generally lot
Of dust and smoke flying around, a sham
poo twice month does no harm.
Many have habit of putting lump
of soda into the shampooing water, be-
cause it makes the hair fluffy and dries
1t quickly. l never advise my women
patrons to DO that, for the reason that
it renders the hair brittle and fades the
color. The best shampoo powder
know of is the yolk of an egg beaten in a
cupful of cold or tepid water. This, when
rubbed well into the scalp by the tips of
the fingers. cleanses the scalp perfectly,
besides acting as a tonic to the hair. /
may say. however, that if it is not washed
of thoroughly with several rinsing wa
ters-two waters, at least-it becomes
injurious.
The best way of shampooing the hair
is always to turn it over the face after
brushing it we'll up from the back. Then.
when it is washed, divide it by parting
through the center of the head, and let
it fall down over the shoulders after
squeezing out all the water possible by
twisting it tightly. The hair should
never be dried quickly by sitting in front
of stove. A little gentle tanning is the
best way, but first rub little alcohol
into the roots. This prevents catching
cold. Rub the hair with warm towels.
and when perfectly dry divide it into
strands and comb out the tangles, be-
ginning at the ends.
plain cold water Is undoubtedly tho
best tonic for the hair, and the SCALP
should be massaged every morning. for.
say, five minutes, with the fingers dipped
in cold water. A gentle pulling of tho
hair against the roots is also a good
thing, in that it stimulates the circula-
ton. The hair, too, should be brushed
for ten minutes night and morning with
a long, stiff bristled brush." r..
