CARING FOR THE HAIR.
II Done systematically It II by No
1ea0s Z Laborious Task for
the Woman.

When you have finished your house,
work and are ready to sit down at your
sewing or darning, or perhaps to scan
the magazine, you very naturally do
not want to waste the precious and
pleasant moments of the day struggling
over your appearance. You haven't time
for everything, you argue, and you
must get the mending done or you must
read and improve your mind q little,
or you must finish q piece of fancy
work. Well, do it: do any or all of the
things you want to do or ought to do.
but first choose sunny corner, by an
open window, and, sitting there with
the sunlight filtering in on your back.
let down your locks to the winds. Let
them blow and play about your shoul-
ders. Give them chance at the air and
sunlight, just as you would give your
flowers that chance to breathe and to
draw in life. The divine Sarah Bern
hardt never confines her locks when
she is in private. All day long when
she is at home they fly to the sun and
winds and are untouched by a hairpin
or ribbon. That is why, even as grand
mother, she still has golden tresses in
stead of iron gray wisps of hair. a
Nothing is so good for the scalp and
the hair itself as q daily sun and air

DRYING THE HAIR IN THE SUN.
bath, and nothing is so comforting or
less trouble.
Usually the little housekeeper is too
poor or too frugal to patronize the hair
dresser, or to indulge in shampoo at
dollar or half a dollar at one of the hair
dressing establishments. And so. in an
irregular, of hand sort of way, she
washes" her hair when it is dirty" or
STICKY" For this wash" she uses any
soap that may happen to be about the
house, rinses quickly and dries her hair
over the radiator. Such treatment will
kill the finest hair in few years.
You should decide upon a regular in
terval for shampooing your hair, and
you should Shampoo" it. If you have
very dry hair, do not wash it oftener
than every three weeks, and you might
let it go for four weeks with prudence.
If your hair is oily you may indulge III
a shampoo every two weeks, but not
oftener. Some girls, during the rage
for fluffy hair, were in the habit OF wash
ing their hair, once week or oftener,
a process which took all the natural life
and oil out of the finest locks and left
them dry, hard, dead, and ready to fall
out at the first sign Of i'll health. Use
for your shampoo good tar soap or a
plain CASTLE soap-nothing else except
warm water. Do not make the bath
too hot, and do not put ammonia in it.
TO attempt to burn your hair out in this
way is fatal mistake. Scrub thorough
ly, rubbing the scalp well and washing
the hair as you would piece of cloth.
Above all, rinse the hair thoroughly in
warm water, and be sure that every
particle of the soap is removed, so that
the pores are free to breathe. Dry the
hair in the air and the sun. Fan it, II
you like, and rub it with the towel, but
avoid the life-killing, hot air from the
radiator or the gas stove, if you do not
want to rot and ruin the best part of your
locks.
Nearly half of your life is spent in
bed, and thus nearly half of your life
your hair is in tight pigtails and curl
papers. This is unfortunate for many
reasons. First of all, 1t keeps the scalp
from the air and is not good for the
roots of the hair. Secondly, it would
drive the most devoted man to the other
woman or the uttermost parts of tie
earth. Take quite as much pains as
you would for party. Do not attempt
to put it up conventionally, but dress it
picturesquely. One of the prettiest night
arrangements is the Marguerite fashion
of two plaits down the back, loosely
woven and gracefully parted.

WHEN GRANDPA WAS LITTLE

And with thoughtful twinkle in her violet

All starched till they could stand alone

But that was great long time. you know.
30 long. long. long ago. r#
''She used to sit as stiff in church, and still
az any mouse
(And grandma says they called the churches
then the Good Lords House).
She couldn't see the minister, the pew
backs were so high;
She couldn't go to sleep or cape, and didn't
dare to cry.
But that was great long time, you know.
80 long, long, long ago.
"She couldn't run, and romp and scream.
and jump like me, or you,
Nor chatter at the table, as we always like
to do.
She made low courtesies, like this, and had
such funny ways
For children must be SEEM not heard they
taught her in those days.
But that was great long time. you know.
So long, long, long ago.
1.-THE grown folks were 50 horrid In that
old time, don't you think,
To treat little grandma so she hardly
dared to wink?
So now we must be kind to her, and try all
sorts Of ways
TO make her happy, and forget those awful
still old days.
For that was great long time, you know.
So long, long, long ago."

LOVE AS A COSMETIC.

Love is the greatest beautifier. The
reason is easy to see. Love itself is
beautiful, and, if we give unselfish love
4 Judgment with us, it is constantly
exerting moulding influence upon US.
Love always appears at its best
When it goes wooing, it always
chooses the most becoming attire and
the most captivating adornments. So
love, when it gets possession of a hu-
man body, proceeds to mould the face
of that body into the most attractive
form, for love always seeks to clothe
itself in the most attractive garb.
There is no masseur like love to
work miracles in homely face. There
is no facial specialist who can begin
to do as much to make plain young
man or woman attractive, to over
come deformity or hide blemishes, as
the magician Love can do.-Christian
Endeavor World.

KITCHEN DoN'Ts.

Don't use knives for scraping the
table and pots.
Don't crumple up your dish towels
Rinse and hang them in the sun.
Don't black a stove while it is hot
It takes more backing and less polish
Don't put damp towels and napkins
in the hamper. Dry them first or they
will mildew.
Don't put egg dishes into hot water
it makes the egg adhere. Soak the
dishes first in cold water.
Don't put tin pans on the stove to
dry. They become heated, the solder
loosens and they soon leak.
Don't pour boiling water over china
packed in a pan. It will crack by tho
sudden contraction and expansion.
Don't put a greasy spoon on the
table. It leaves a stain which re-
quires time to erase. Put it in a
saucer.
Don't litter up the kitchen when
getting a meal, because it will take
hours to clean up after the meal is
over.
Don't pour boiling water and soap
on greasy spots. Moisten the spot,
first with a cold saturated solution Of
soda, then scrub them with the grain
Of the wood, using cold soaDsuds.

MANNISH WAYS A MISTAKE
Women Will Never Win Alteration
from Men by Adopting
Them

Women are never more largely and
gorgeously mistaken than when they
think that they make q winning with
men by trying to make imitation men
OF themselves The fallacy that men
pine for women to be little brothers to
them has gained ground of late and
found many adherents. among women
who affect masculine sports, discuss
risque subjects, and endeavor to wipe
out the sex line. Never was greater
folly. It is woman's unlikeness to man,
the difference of her point Of view, that
makes all her charms and lends pi-
quancy to her society. If man wanted
the ideas of another man on a subject,
he would seek one-who had been born
to the masculine estate, not one who
has merely understudied the role.
Men like what we call the old-fash-
Toned virtues in women, says the Chi
cago Tribune. 1t is the fashion now for
women to be blase and cynical, but there
Is no man so hardened that he does not
shudder away from hard woman. He
may never put his foot inside of a
church, but he wants woman to be
pious. He may disbelieve in everything
in heaven and earth, but he wants a
woman to have childlike faith in every
thing, and no matter how much he laughs
at her for her credulity, he loves her the
better for it. He may judge the world
mercilessly, but he wants a woman to
be full of tender and unreasoning SYM
pathy and pity. No man ever loved a
woman who did not cry, or who was not
tender to little children, or who would not
give to beggar and investigate his
needs afterwards. The girl who thinks
it smart to sheer at mesticity and de-
clares that she will never debase her tai
snts by learning to cook or sew, who
hates children and mocks at religion, no
matter how brilliant or beautiful she is.

NO DOUBT ABOUT HIS LINE,
Playwright Knew Exactly Where the

Julian Mitchell, producer of 1T, Hap

An actor had been importuning Hoyt
for an engagement.
One day when he was in his of
fee the playwright said to him:
by the way, there is part open
in The Brass Monkey Do you think
you could play it?" and Hoyt named
the character.
Certainly, Mr. Hoyt," said the
actor. THAT part is just in my line. =
WELL" said Hoyt, I'll give you a
chance at it. The company is up in
New York state. You join them, and
/ will come up to Elmira and see how
well you play it."
The day came and Hoyt was on
hand to see the performance. The
actor was very bad, and after the play
was over Hoyt went back on the
stage to see him.
"Well, Mr.. Hoyt, how did you like

Rotten" was the characteristic
answer.

OLD IDEA IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Use % colors Was First Suggested
In the Fifties,

In the Fifties.
IN the early sos Poitevin, we'll
known Photographic experimentalist
patented process by which a photo
graphic image could be printed in a
pigment mixed with oil.
1t seems to have been entirely neg
lected by the photographers of that
time, and has long been forgotten
But it has, quite recently, been redis-
covered, and the method has been
seized upon by advanced amateurs as
one peculiarly fitted to give them
that control over the light and shade
of the print which they consider in,
dispensable.
The process is briefly this: Good
stiff cartridge paper is coated with
gelatine, dried and subsequently sen,
sitized in 21s per cent bath of po-
tassia bichromate. Once more dried,
it is exposed to light beneath a mega
tive in the ordinary manner.
Soaked in water, those portions of
the picture which have received most
light have become insoluble and do
not retain moisture, while the
lights" swell up and absorb much
water. 1t is proverbial that oil and
water will not mix, and when a roller
charged with oil color is applied to
the print only the insoluble shadows
will have anything to do with the
color; they receive it, while the lights
of the picture repel it.
The process is an interesting one,
and, although of such ancient date,
may be regarded as still in an expert
mental stage.-Chambers Journal.
