Cleanliness Most Essential.

Cleanliness and the promotion or a
good circulation in the scalp are the
prime necessities for maintaining the
hair in good condition. As often hap
pens, the very simplicity Of these means
causes their Importance 10 be underes-
tiruated. The scalp must be kept clean
by a careful shampoo, whose frequency
varies in individual cases From three
TO six weeks may be given as general
rule. One should be familiar with the
reputation of the maker and the IN
gradients that make up the preparations
used for shampooing by the hair dress
er, and when washing the hair at home
to use some pure p1aiT soap and warm
water only Such a matter is safely
left TO the individual choice The fewer
alien substances used on a healthy head
of hair the better. The water should be
a trif1e warmer than the bodily temper
allure OF the head but never either very
hot or cold. Long hair will tangie less
if loosely braided before washing. The
SOAP may be rubbed directly on the scalp,
but it must be carefully washed out OF
the hair before the latter is dried. II
desired, a half teaspoonful of oil of
sweet almonds may be added TO the final
rinse water in eases where there is
a natural tendency in the scalp TO eX-
IRENE dryness.

Keeping the Truth From Her.

There is a story told of another Amer
lean woman of millions in London who
began to get fat. But no one dared to
tell her the truth. Her modiste slyly
let out her gowns and her maid said
nothing about the stretching OF the
neckbands and the adjusting Of buckles
Even the scales were altered for her
and the pretty little enamel scale that
stood IN her bathroom was cleyerIy ar
, ranged so that 1t did not record the
fun weight 1t was two whole years
before the deception was made known.
And then IL was almost too late.
The truth came out one night when
the diamond necklace failed TO clasp
around her neck. Then she found she
had grown fat Great rolls of fat fell
over her diamond dog collar as it tugged
at the masses of flesh around the neck
The strain was too great The lady
turned purple, the dog collar burst its
clasp, And then the lady said, Il am
grown fat
But to return to the titled American
who found that she could not wear her
presentation gown, the one that was
made for the coronation, and which Ell
quette requires her TO put on once a
year for the drawi 1g room. q Is only
necessary to say that she was deter
mined 10 get thin The truth had been
broken To her in a bold open way that
left her In no doubt She could not
hoodwink herself into believing herself

was willing TO know the truth.

q Winter Shirt Waist Suits D

The woman who can buy d shirt waist
suit for winter would do very we'll.
indeed, to select chameieons. But in
buying let her be cautious. There is
a special knack in selecting g. change
able silk. This knack is known to all
professionals. but to few amateur buy
ers. 1t lies in the selection of a silk
which shall show d certain tone. There
Is one color which dominates every
changeable silk. 1t may be red, or
blue, or gray, or green. Some one tint
predominates. and this should be care
fully selected
My new gown is a coppery brown, -
said 81 woman who was selecting some
thing suitable for spring, land 1 am
going to trim it with bands of cham
eieon TX which must show a pre-
dominating note of brown. How shall I
81 Get it? Why, by looking at it care
fully to note the brown lights, and by
seeing it by gaslight as well as by day
light"
Select your changeable silks by day
light and gaslight; look at them from a
distance to note the predominant tone,
and be sure that your silk shows the
tint you want rather than one which
will clash with your gown and its dec
oraIions.
There are women who have grasped

MARYLAND Menus,

Down in Maryland they used to have
what they called oyster roasts, and
from all accounts they had them pretty
often. Hot biscuits, strong coffee, two
or three kinds of hot rolls, pickles, etc.
would be placed on the table and at each
plate small, deep dishes containing
melted butter, pepper sauce, vinegar,
and salt, all piping hot Servants would
come in from time to time bringing the
hot oysters, and standing by each guest
would open the shells and drop the
oyster in the dishes of melted butter.
where they only remained long enough
to become well coated with the savory
compound before they We're transferred
to the mouths waiting to absorb them.
Then hot whisky punch would wind up
the supper, and no one had even q
thought of indigestion. Life moved slow
er then, you see. and there was more
time to digest whatever food was eaten.

Lenten Foods.

The careful housekeeper regards Lent
as time for sort Of stock taking
preparatory to a balancing Of the ply
steal books OF the family. \ literal OBJ
servance of the season is not always in
sisted upon by the woman who is wise
She NAL es certain changes in her taple'
but they are changes which have more
to do with the clearer understanding OF
the dfetetfc needs of her household than
with traditional usages. Sailed and cur
ed fish will. it is likely, play an insignifi-
cent part in the arrangements, though
doubtless this woman remembers that 1t
was a chief figure in her mothers and
her grandmother presentation of the
Ienten idea She has a tolerably clear
recollection Of salt fish dinners helped
out by increased allowance of dessert in
order to assist in making up for the
deficiency of meat. This may or may
not have been due to the meager trans
portatfon facilities of earlier times which
prevented the use of fresh fish and other
so-caIled Lenten foods. Neither can al
teration In the popular taste be said to
have wholly Influenced the changes
which we now frequently see in the
table observances of Lent. Retrench-
ment may in some cases be the small
axe which the housekeeper desires to
grind, but believe that In the majority
of homes there are three potent causes.
and none of them having TO do with
hardware combining TO establish new
order of things at this season. First,
better knowledge Of food values and
constituents in general; second. a clearer
understanding Of the dietetic needs Of
the several members of the family, and
third, practical ability to provide
| changes CT food that will benefit the sys-
tenn The question of meat versus fish
and eggs Will receive its full measure of
attention. but 1t is only one OF the mat
tiers to be considered by the intelligent
housekeeper, who will tell you often at
this time of year the omission from the
bill of fare of the rich desserts pud-
ding, etc, TO which the family have
for months been accustomed, will work
quite a noticeable an Improvement as
would the cutting down of the meat

The proper treatment of healthy hair
is matter whose importance is too
often overlooked. There are many rules
formulated for the guidance of people in
whose scalps the more common diseases
such as badness, premature grayness
or dandruff, have appeared. But the
best means of preventing all these IS by
keeping the hair and scalp If healthy

people go on the theory that 1t Is wise
10 let well enough alone. Consequently
men and women spend much labor upon
restoratives and preparations OF a

good brisk current
Don't try to take your exercise in a
room that Is filled up with furniture.
It should be a room that is almost
bare; little furniture, few hangings
and nothing at all TO catch the dust
and dirt.
Exercise together. It makes the
time pass quickly and one helps the
other. II one gets tired the other rail-
lies her and both go at 1t again
Weigh before beginning to exer-
