Professional hair ethics advocate the

month. What they do insist upon. though.
is the dry clean'-that is, the weekly or
semi-weekly brushing. This, done in the
professional way. is something that few
women attempt for themselves; and yet it
Is easily DONE as 1t only means brushing
the hair from partings made In as many
directions as possible. To make this a
really cleansing process the brush should
have the comb put through 1t each time
that it is drawn through the hair and the
comb should then be wiped of on a towel.
This is always done by the professional
hair dresser. and almost always neglected
when the brushing is done at home In
this is the whole secret, as the softness OF
the hair after brushing is simply the soft
ness of added cleanliness. without this,
even the OIL that is brought down into the
hair by the brushing will only make 1t
sticky without making 1t soft.
Always wash the brushes In cold water

acid added to the water is good thing as

When Buying
An enamel bed look well to the brass MT
tings to see if they are firmly set and care
fully finished, for 1t is here that the bed
first shows the signs of wear. Such trim
mings usually are finished now so that they
do not tarnish, but they are not always put
on so that they will not get loose and give
the bed generally dilapidated look.
Enameling should be done over often
enough so this part of the bed will not get
blue and shabby looking. All enameled
furniture should be gone over every few
weeks with soapy rag.
There is no other article which so we'll
repays care and in which the cost of re-
placing and repairing makes it so well
worth while for the housekeeper to use
eternal vigilance as the mattress.
Never leave them uncovered, and nave
them swept monthly with whisk broom,
turning up the tufts and brushing them
free from dust. They should be thoroughly
whipped at least three or four times d
year, and once during the middle or the
winter and once in the heat of summer
should be left out during the whole DAY
for good chilling and summing. Pillows
and holsters should have the same treat
ment much more frequently, and should
have slip covers of muslin the same as
mattresses The frequent handling or Pill

1t Is MOI
That the woman growing old must not
wear black. 1t is that she must not wear
all black There are no powders or cos
metics that have the power to help the
skin like contrast This is one word that
the woman who begins to fade wants to
have written at the top of her dress calen-
Gar.
It is not necessary to give UP the all black
hat. but let her wear 1t with the white or
the nearly white dress or suit. Again, let
her wear the white lace hat or the small
dress hat with bright foliage and flowers,
with her black gown.
To the sallow brunette the combination
of navy blue cloth with cream trimmings
has been q rejuvenator always and worth
whole battaiions of beautifiers. To the same
type the palest OF pale grays with black hat
and black trimmings and white chiffons Is
q safe screen behind which to hide COM
plexional defects. 1t is the same with brill
liant red worn In small quantities with
cream and mode colors, where all red
would turn the ssallow complexion coppery.
There seems to be a kind of power like that
of the ventriloquist which distracts atten-
ton from all defects in such combina tons;
or. perhaps II Is the mixed light of the
two colors which, thrown together on the
personal color scheme. puts It OUT en-
tirely.
1t Is this principle which has made for
the universal becomingness and long stay

dark winter coat suit. It Is one which can
also be carried far better into evening

to the ears, older children will often push

who have not yet learned the use of their

ears or the sides of their head
Ordinarily earache Is relieved by the use
of some hot applications, and small rubber
ear bags come made expressly for the pur-
pose. These may be filled with hot water
and applied. 1t is well to make a small
flannel covering for the bag to prevent any
possible danger of burning the ear or sur
rounding flesh which comes in contact
with the rubber. A simple home method is
to make small bag of flannel or cotton
and fill it with hops, salt or even sand, II
nothing better is convenient. Place the
filled bag in the oven until 1t becomes well
heated, then lay 1t close to the ear. Ii

A Blank Book

a Blank BOOK
Some old magazines. a pair of scissors and
a pot of mucilage will prove the open Sc
same to nursery joys on days that are TOO
hot or too cold or too rainy to permit the
little daughter of the house to seek her
pleasures ou- Of doors. The size of the
blank book depends upon the height of the
paper doll who is to be given a home
within its pages as walls. For the paper
doll measuring six inches a scrap book
about ten by thirteen inches should be
provided.
In these days of magazine and newspaper
articles with Photographic illustrations Of
the homes of celebrities, furniture Is easily
obtained in any size The different rooms

as smooth as possible, and paste on one

Pretty Centerpieces-~

Pretty Centerpieces-.
For matching yellow china or service
plates fit wire flower holder over an Or

lilies In It, fitting them In close enough so
that they round over on the top. Take the
centers out and make the lily a candle
holder for tiny yellow taper. Procure
small yellow ware vases and repeat the

Another pretty investment which will last
over from one luncheon to another is to get
maidenhair fern leaves and iron them, lay
ing them in a large fiat circle in the center
of the table Suspend a fern ball from the
chandelier, hanging it so low that 1t seems
to mix in with the few leaves beneath.
These will last indefinitely after having
been ironed. With electric lights, drop the

fern and smilax and twine smilax around
the cord that connects with the chandelier.

Table Entertainments


For a luncheon can be arranged with
conundrum pie. Find as many riddles which
you can answer with an object as you have
guests. Many can be taken from the lists
given for the picture galleries game. Write
the conundrums upon tiny slips of paper
and put them In English walnut shells tied
together with baby ribbon. Have q long
ribbon reaching from the nut at each place
to the center of the pie, which is covered,
child party fashion, with tissue paper. The
guests are asked to read their riddles when
they first sit down, and after the meal is
finished each pulls out his answer from the
pie. For instance, when Is a ladys arm
not lady's arm?" pulls out little white
bear-or any other small bear, from the pie,
which is left as souvenir and from which
the real answer TO the riddle has still to be
worded: when 1t is little bare" Where
is happiness always to be found?' Is an
swered by tiny dictionary. What is it
that is always ready for action? o. is an

Easy Hot Bread

If one learns the trick of relocating rolls
1T is a simpler matter to have hot bread
every day by baking them once or twice a
week than it is to stir up popovers or some
thing requiring eggs every morning If you
do not bake bread, this recipe IS little trou-
BILE and makes from four to five dozen rolls:
Dixie Biscuit-Mfx one teaspoonful of salt
into three pints of flour. Put one teacup-
full of milk on the stove with three pints
of -four to warm. Pour this on two we'll
beaten eggs. Add the flour, with one cake
of yeast, dissolved In a teacupful OF luke
warm water When well mixed set in a
warm place for about five hours to rise.
Form into biscuit, let rise again and bake
Pocketbook Biscuit.-Vary the above by
rolling out thin, cutting in squares, spread
Ing with melted butter and folding over
They can be made ready for o'clock din
ner by setting the sponge about 10 O'clock
and letting 1t rise as slowly as possible. Ii
It gets light in less than FIVE hours work 1t
back as you would bread dough.
Rolls to Reheat.-Dampen slightly by
holding each roll for part of a second
under the hydrant, running slowly. Put In
deep pan, cover closely and set In q slow
oven for twenty minutes to half an hour
Bakers Rolls.-When fresh rolls are
brought from the bakers put In the oven
few minutes before using. Two minutes
before they are to be eaten take them out,
divide them and put some thin slices of
butter between. Press them together and
return them to the oven for one minute

For Shrove Tuesday

The custom of having a pancake supper
on the eve of Ash Wednesday is no longer
confined to New England. This old-fash-
toned treat has become a feature of the last
day before Lent in every household where
the family are fond of hot cakes straight
from the griddle. At the first of these sup
pers. however. only buckwheat cakes were
served. Now any kind of batter which can
be cooked on a griddle forms part of tho
meal. and the more unusual the cakes the
more frequently do they have to be brought
steaming from the kitchen. Plenty of sweet
butter and goodly supply of the best mo-
lasses. maple sugar or melted sugar accom-
pany the cakes, whatever they may be.

PIANO RECITAL BY
PROFESSOR WAD

The Baltimore American has the
Following TO say about Prof. Wad,
who win give a piano recital under
the auspices Of the Marcato Club
Fat the Waldo Friday, Feb. g.:
afnterest centered around the pro-
|duction OF the great Beethoven
Sonata in +. minor, opus 81, well
known as the Appassionata. This
sonata was played last winter by a
pianist who came TO us much herald-
ed as a master, but though his inter
probation was splendid from a tech
nical point, there was that lacking
that would have made the perform-
ance truly great. But Prof, Waa,
in addition to giving a fine perform
.ance in which time and technique
were aloltted their due, gave to the.
composition imagination and feel.
ing he played the meaning as well
as the notes. He is a true musician,
not the sort who relies upon the
mechanism Of the perfectly correct
technique, but one who realizes its
value and makes ii potent aid in
producing effects. In the first
movement, the Allegro asai, his APP
probation of the great power and
beauty Of the theme was very evil
dent, for into every tone was put the
sympathy and Imagination Of the
master. In the pianissimo passages
which gradually increase in volume
to the tumultuous beauty of forte
his rendering was beyond criticism.
"The remainder of the program
was well selected and interesting.
There we're three Chopin numbers,
one of the nocturnes in + sharp
major, which was particularly beau
tifuI and was very artistically per-
formed, maxurka in g sharp
minor, and scherzo in B minor;
four pieces from Schuman's 'Kries-
lerina," opus 10, delicate, sympa-
thetic compositions that seemed par
ticularly fitted TO Prof. Wad's finish
