The artist noticed from the letter

towns in the state of literature. That
gave him a bunch, and he wrote back
as follows:

HAIR TIPS.

Before dressing the hair rub little
brilliantine into the roots with the
tips Of the finger, and brush with a
baby brush. This makes the hair
beautifully glossy and keeps it APP
proximately tidy.
Don't forget to have the hair thor
oughly cut and singed every three
months; 1t Is not sufficient to have
long hair clipped. Special attention
should be paid to the weak new hairs
that spring up all along the central
parting.
Don't forget to brush the hair for
ten minutes with a flexible brush.
This may make the head a little tender
at first, but tenderness soon wears
off.
Don't wear pads or additional tails
of hair and curls unless absolutely nee
essary. Anything that prevents light
and air getting at the roots of the hair
is extremely bad.
Don't attempt to restore gray or
faded hair yourself; it is best to leave
1t entirely alone. If dyeing is desir-
able have it done by skilled hands.
Don't use cheap hairpins or combs:
they are so liable to drag and break
the hair.

AS colored lace is much in favor as
a trimming this season, this design
worked with cotton to match would
make a very pretty up-to-date finish
for colored linen dresses; 1t would
have the advantage of washing with

be very durable. Another practical
use to which this lace may be put Is
an edging for toilet covers. A piece

THICKER FABRICS COMING IN.
Smart Novelty Material Is Known as
BengaIinette.

Great appreciation is being shown
this spring for a novelty material
known as bengalinette, new edition
OF Bengaline-in other words, a silk
fabric with a ribbed surface. The
marquisette has been la mode two
years and continues in popularity. But
courtiers are on the lookout for ma
terial trifie sitter than these chiffon
goods and bengalinette meets the re-
quirements.
The new fabric Is in evidence in all
colors, but 1t is particularly seductive
In pale green and old pink. Green was
big factor in the SOS of the last cen
fury and the second empire modes
now being revived are an example Of
how much in vogue all styles of the
last SO years are and will be- The
empire as brought forth year and
a half ago is seen no more except for
evening wear in light transparent
goods, and the drapery is particularly
adaptable to that class of goods.
There is quite a change in the quail
ity Of goods used this spring from that
in vogue for very long time past.
Now the makers and diapers are show
Ing goods that have decided body to
them. In other words, the chiffon no.
character stuffs are passe.
The handwriting on the wall points
to less coquettish modes, for certainly
stin materials will not take all the
fullness in drapery and elaboration in
handiwork that frocks have received
the past years.
