This will take off the yellow look and make
the hair more drab in tone Biuing is used
In the same way for gray or white hair
which locks brownish orrusty yellow. One
woman well advanced In years to whom
iron-gray hair is most becoming, and
whose hair is an ugly nondescript rusty,
gray brown, uses the biuing on brush,
ing and drying it. At first, perhaps. for an
hour or two the effect is rather too blue to
be real. but soon 1t melIows down and is
really a fine iron gray and vastly admired
by her aequaintances who are not In the
secret.
Very often the hair turns gray over the
temples and sometimes at the back of the
head. When this occurs at an early age
the hair be restored by expert scalp
massage and the use of a tonic. which has
a tendency to darken the locks. This is
simple and efficacious one for this purpose:
Alcohol, ounces; green tea, ounces;
garden sage, ounces; put in an iron pot,
which can be closely covered. and pour
over the herbs three quarts of boiling wa
ter preferably soft: let it simmer until the
quantity Is reduced one-third Then take
off the fire and leave twenty-four hours;
strain and bottle for use. This will stain
the pillows If not perfectly dry before going
to bed.
Scalp treatment should. if possible, be
given by an expert, but for many 1t Will
suffice If few of the kneading and rotary
movements are made, and IL the circulation
under the scalp is stimulated in this way:
Place the fingers on the scalp. press down
into 1t and bring the fingers nearer to-
gether at the same time, thus moving the
scalp without really removing the fingers
Go over the entire scalp in this manner.

convalescence, will insure the sick patient a
new growth of hair, and, in cases like ty-
phoid fever, if the hair is cared for during
the progress of the disease, being combed
and brushed and braided, also daily, and
the roots treated with a mild tonic, the
usual calamity of falling hair would not
occur, nor need the hair be cut
Many women write to me asking for a
preparation to make the hair reddish or
give it the beautiful chestnut tinge just
now so very popular. (By the way, have
you ever thought how ridiculous it is to
have a fashion in shades of hair? But
there is such fashion just now, and 1t de-
crees red tints.) Well, if red tints you must
have, at least be careful how you apply the
tint and go cautiously about it. No two
heads are alike. In fact, it is seldom that
an entire head of hair is composed of hair
of exactly the same quality and strength.
Different kinds of hair are affected in diff
ferent ways, and one can never be sure Of
the effect of a wash until the trial is made
! may turn into a reddish blonde by using
cents worth of potash You may not
turn hair literally, although you should
use the entire bottle of henna The red
dish shade, however, to return to our sub
ject, is acquired or cultivated with the aid
of henna tea and sunshine. The henna
leaves are bought, and to one ounce of
henna quart of hot water is added The
whole is sealed up in preserving jar and
allowed to stand over night. 1t is then
heated and applied with a brush to the
hair, which has been carefully washed with
a ltte ammonia in the water and dried.
The henna dries on the har in sunlight. It
will stain the fingers and nails. so use rub
Der gloves If the hair Is dipped in henna
proper.
A few words about the value of fuffiness
and lightness in hair dressing will not come
aniss to the woman who wants light
aureole of hair around her face. When the
hair is arranged in heavy masses around
the forehead it is bound to look darker,
more somber and older. Fluffy, curled hair
gives a suggestion of lightness and dainti-
ness to the appearance The high, elabo-
rate couture may be beautiful from the
dressers point OF view, but the artist will
always prefer simpler styles of hair dress
ing which so long as there Is a suggestion
of waviness and lightness to the hair, give
to the face an expression of youthful grace
and candor.

Pluperfect Propriety in Language.

Thongs R. Lounsbury. In Harper's Magazine.
In every community where the subject of
usage comes up for discussion, body of
men can be found who are not content with
perfect propriety. They are determined
to have what may be called pluperfect
propriety One particular illustration of
this there is which comes up pretty con-
stantly for discussion. A person wishes on
some given day. say, for instance, Saturday,
to designate the day following He or
dinarily says, Tomorrow is Sunday"-that
u.s. he says so II he uses the language as If
it belonged to him and not as II he belonged
to 1t. II he chance TO be In the company
of one who is in the latter unhappy stu
alton he is not unlikely to be interrupted
by some s1ch remarks as this: Pardon
me. you should say, Tomorrow will be
Sunday"
This foregoing Is a specimen of the sort
of examples usually adduced by scholars
as an illustra ton of pedantic usage occa-
stoned by imperfect linguistic training. Yet,
In spite of It's commences. It does not strict
iy belong to the class of cases here under
consideration. 1t is merely one OF many
instances where the idea of future time is
conveyed not by the verb but by some other
word or phrase In the sentence. In the
example just given 1t is found In the sub
ject tomorrow. If any person take excep-
ton 10 the expression, 1t is perfectly legiti-
mate TO ask him If the day specified be not
Sunday, what day is it? Important engage
ments will usually compel him to betake
himself elsewhere before he finds time to
answer. In all cases of the sort II is, of
course, proper enough to use the future
tense. Occasionally It may be necessary
to do so, either for the sake of contrast
or OF emphasis, or even of securing variety.
But ordinar its employment adds moth
ing to the cIearness or force OF what is
sought to be said. 1t therefore approaches
the nature of an expletiye. On the other
hand. the use of the present tense not only
makes the idea just as distinct. 1t some
times renders 1t far moro effective. Let
us eat and drink. for tomorrow we die,

the Apostle had In mind; but it would not
have given his words the vividness and
energy they now have.

Cancer and the Sun.

From American Medicine.
The sun cure for skin cancers has been
reported In the Clinical Weekly of Berlin
by DR.. Hirschberg of Frankfort, according
to our consul general at the latter place II
appears that Hfrschberg himself had a
small epithelioma on the outer surface OF
the ear, and prior TO being operated upon
made trip to Switzerland and uncon-
sciously exposed the ears to the suns rays.
He astonished to evidence of be-
ginning cure. and then he carried out the
treatment faithfully, with the satisfaction
of a complete cure. He explained that in
the mountains the Actfnic rays are stronger
than at lower levels, but that the tanning
which invariably results in the normal
skin to protect the tissues from harm
cells have no power to form pigment.
Hence the cancer cells are killed by tho
use of concentrated suns rays at lower
levels or by rontgen rays. There is. OF
course, no desire to use this method in
other cases. for the results might not be
so happy, and the usual methods are
quicker and safer The case is apparently
reported to show that the usual therapeu-
tie measures we apply deliberately are
occasionally effective. even when mad
yertently used. The press dispatches APP
parently took IL for granted that a new
cure had been found for all cancer cases
by simply living in the mountains and
exposing the diseased part to the suns

thermore be governed by the fall of the
hair before and after washing. When the
hair stops falling out after the shampoo, 1t
shows that the cleaning of the scalp was
beneficial
Fer the thousands of women who are not
satisfied with the colored locks which it has
pleased nature to give to them. the different
shampoos offer innocent and scarcely per-
ceptible mediums through which they can
be changed to a brighter, lighter or redder
shade. Frequent washings in washing soda,
borlX or salts of tartar will tend to make
the hair a lighter tinge. though at the same
time rendering it brittle and lifeleSs as
well These strong alkales necessitate the
use of an oily lotion to add the gloss which
they destroy. Such a lotion is compounded
in this manner: Take of picnic acid two
grams; tincture of nuX vomica seven and
one-haf grams; tncture of red chin
coma, 80 grams; tincture of cantharides,
TWO grams; cologne 100 grams; sweet al
mond Gil, sixty grams. Apply to the roots
of the hair with a soft sponge once or
twice q day. Drab hair can be slightly
lightened by sleeping the hair which has
been washed and dried in tea of chamo-
mile flowers, or one made OF saffron. Use
one ounce of saffron to a pint of water.
The girl with the mouse-colored hair can
not be blamed If she finds her drab and
Understanding tresses intolerable. Many
beauty has been made out of insig
nificant woman merely by bringing into her
hair some of the lights and glints which
nature forgot to place there. Almost every
combination of mineral and vegetable has
been tried to effect a change in the color
of the hair. Particularly hard to get are
natural looking light colors. Once wom-
IN begins to bleach her hair really life
becomes a source of misery to her, and she
is forced 10 go through it with her blondine
bottle firmly clutched IN her hand. and the
evidence of her folly glowing on her head.
Fortunately, very blonde hair is not the
fashion. and to look 'peroxided' is but an
other name for looking vulgar. For the
unfortunate few who in an unguarded mo-
ment have emptied the contents OF the
peroxide bottle over their heads and now
would like to have the mischief undone. let
me advise the use of bluing. After wash
ing the all-too-blonde hair, rinse 1t in water
made slightly blue. with some first-class,
genuine bluing. The water should be about
as blue as you would use for fine linen.

THE GIRL YOU
WOULD LIKE TO BE
BY KATHERINE MORTON.

the growth and beauty OF the half depend
on the perfect cleanliness of the scalp.
Different shampoos are necessary for diff
ferent scalp affections. and what will be
just the thing for one individual head Will
be the one out of tune for another For
instance where, as often happens, there is
an excess Of crusts or scales over the scalp
this should be removed by a wash made
of equal parts of tincture of green soap and
alcohol. thoroughly rubbed into the scalp,
and then rinsed out with alternating sprays
of hot and cold water until the hair is
perfectly clean. If the scalp is very sensi-
tive and at the same time full of dandruf,
the above mentioned wash will be too
strong. and you may substitute for it an
egg shampoo. Take the yoiks Of three eggs
and beat into a pint of lime water, wash
the hair with this and rinse thoroughly
Just how often the hair should be washed
is a question which each person must settle
for herself. 1t Is a safe conclusion, how
ever, that few people wash their hair suffi-
GENTLY often. For an oily scalp once in
ten days is not too often to give the hair
4 thorough shampoo, particularly il the
person is much exposed to dust. When the
hair is dry two three weeks should
elapse between washings. The frequency
with which the hair is washed Should fur
