Season of Delicious Salads.

This is the season of salads, and for
some reason or other they are systematical-
ly, carefully and stupidity neglected by a
majority of people All that the most
Jealous salad advocate can hope to bring
about is a general agreement on principle
and a striving toward a higher artistic
ideal The rough conception of a salad is
a preparation of steel cut outer leaves OF
socden lettuce soused in vinegar and ma
vored with stale watercresS.
The ordinary hotel salad is a disgrace to
civilZa ton. 1t is a connection of morlbund
garden leaves dressed with bad vinegar and
petrol. The only variety known to the
average chef is pseudonymous mayon-
naise-an oily cloak for fish or chicken that
has been aging rapidly.
The pure delight for fresh crisp young
lettuce. intelligently and becomingly
dressed, is well within the reach of any
household. One may be a salad lover with
out being a vegetarian. There are degrees
in all things and a proper salad is well
come addition to almost every meal.
Most published salad recipes dwell too
lengthily and lovingly upon its outward
decoration; the garlands of radishes; the
powdered egg yolks and the brilliant beet.
All this is entirely beside the question. An
otherwise good salad Is none the worse for

Do Not Color the Hair.

Oo Not ColCr the dalr.
The practice of coloring the hair is an
exceedingly vulgar one, and no woman in
her right senses will be guilty of it. But
there are innocent minded butterflies who
like 10 take up new things only to discard
them in day month, when tired of
them
woman in society whose hair had Just
begun to turn gray was able to shade her
hair in modiSh fashion by using a mixture
of henna tea and peroxide of hydrogen A
teaspoon of the peroxide was added to the
henna tea, which was weak. With long
slender brush she went over her hair, CIV
ing IL the de.icately and highly desired red
dish tone at the roots. 1t was a great sue
cess at first. but II grew out and had to
be done over again. And at last accounts
the woman was wretched in spirit and try
ing 10 get back her original color II was
too much trouble to keep up the deception
Women who can part the hair are wear
ing ii in a big scalloped roll right back
from the sides OF the face. 1t takes an
immense pompadour rat and the hair is
rolled back in great big roll so that the
ears are hidden under the roll and the
scallOps.
Ii is esthetic fad to let a lock or two
Of the hair escape. This is scalloped with
the tOngs and carried carelessly back of
the ear. OF course II blows loose and must
be put back with the fingers. The lock es-
capes again and its prettily sCalloped edge
Hes upon the check. And again il is put
back. The little game goes innocently on
to the intense delight of all concerned The
woman Is made prettier and the spectator
falls ia love with her
The peTfumed sCallOp is the latest thing
The strongest of sweet violet perfumes is
used and the hair is moistened with it. The

III for an hour after ii is applied Ii must

Women who never have liked the Marcel

universally becoming style of hairdress-
ing and one that specially commends itself

Patel Leather Bags
Are more popular than ever this season for
they harmonize well with the natty
tailored suits so much in vogue The most
practical OF these bags are made of long
grained patent leather, which does not
crack, and has pretter finish and wears
better than morocco or the old-fa shoned
patent. The fashionable Avenue, Argyle
and Mail Pouch bags come in the long
grained patent leather, and many smartly
dressed women carry OF these bags
with the popular black and white suits.

Nainsook, pongenette. batiste. null and
fine cambria are the materials in vogue for
the construction of undergarments The
two requisites for materials are that they
must not add to the weight of the garment
or bulk to the figure. With the marked
tendency in outer garments toward THE
more fitted forms. particularly about the
hips IL becomes essential that undergar-
ments should preserve the natural outlines
of the figure There is no fullness over the
hips of well-cut drawers and petticoats.

Furniture HARMONY.

1t is indeed difficult to maintain the neces-
sary harmony between the old and the new
furnishings. The question as to whether 1t
pays to modify all our new and cherished
schemes for the sake of few odd pieces Of
furniture which we cannot at present afford
TO replace or recover or possibly a pair of
portieres which were faded trifie, but still
are good and too useful to be dispensed
with. is always with us, and never ceases
to be irritating. Black walnut furniture is
not hopeless, however, nor is a carpet with
a light background utterly impossible. from
an artistic point of view. Two sunny rooms
facing toward the south. large and with
high ceilings, should not be difficult to plan
for. The dark woodwork must of course
be considered. 1t should harmonize per-
fectly with the black walnut furniture.
Since the colors in the Objectionable car
pet are mahogany, green and blue in soft
old tones upon the light, tan background, a
dark green paper should be effective for the
walls One with the surface simply broken
with a small design in self-tones will make
the best background for your books and
pictures. You must have table covers
which completely will cover the marbletops

Further Improvement Of Condition
On Western Ranges.

Washington, September H.
Furthur evidence of the govern.
ment's concern over the improve
ment of range conditions in the
National Forests is shown in the
announcement just made that
stock owners will be furnished free
of charge supplies of vaccine for
the treatment of stock afflicted
with black leg, tuberculosis and
other animal diseases. This ar
rangement has been made by the
Forest Service with DR.. A. D. Mel
win, chief of the Bureau OF Animal
Industry.
Stockmen holding permits for
grazing in the National Forests
will now be furnished with an
affective means of combating with
out cost all of the most dangerous
diseases to which stock is subject.
The vaccine can be obtained
simply by applying to the super
visor OF the Forest upon which the
stock is grazed who will at one for.
ward the app roved request to the
Bureau of Animal Industry where
it will be filled. Full directions
will be furnished for its use.
The Forest Service and the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry are work.
ing hard in an endeavor to eradi-
cate or diminish the common forms
of stock disease found on the west
ern ranges and their efforts are
meeting much success. 1t is an
ticipated that large number of
stockmen will avail themselves. of
this latest offer of assistance as
result the loss of stock will be
greatly reduced and range con-
ditions improved.
