TOILET FANCIES.

Although a good summing is the best
thing in the world for the hair, 1t Is mol
particularly good for it to be dried In the
sun after shampooing. The sun seems to
make each Individual hair stand out sep
arate from the others, and, as a conse-
Q it is difficult to arrange it nicely.
See that the hair Is thoroughly dried and
then given a sun bath.
Blond hair often changes ms a woman
grows older. The reason for this is found
in tho changing of the hair pigment. the
sulphur or iron increasing and becoming
more powerful than the magnesia. The
use of peroxide of hydrogen is not de.
stable, because in time the ends of the
hair become lighter than that at the roots,
An excellent means of preserving the
golden color is to shampoo the hair with
eggs, adding the juice of three lemons &c
one tablespoonful Of salts OF tartar to tbs
first rinsing water. Rub several eggs al
through the hair and shampoo and rinse;
then use several more eggs. At the second
~shampooing the eggs will foam up like
soap. They do not act that way at first
because there is still a suggestion of oil in
the hair.

ETHICS OF THE BIG D.
An E~piscopalian Bishops Defense OF
the Word Damn"

At the meeting of the American
Booksellers Association the address of the
occasion was delivered by Bishop Tall
bot, Of the diocese of central P~ennsylva-
MIA. Having perpetrated a novel, Bishop
Tablet justly asserted his claim to be
considered an author, and he entertained
his hearers by his views on the privileges
of authorship. He admitted that In the
conversational parts of his book he had
frequently employed the word damn as
a qualifying adjective. and he defend
ed such action, giving as evidence the tes-
timony of his publishers. who said that
IF I had used the customary dashes I
should have emasculated my story
Rather than invite so d~eplorable a catas-
trophe he bolstered up his first artistic
instincts.
Here then. is high clerical authority for
literary freedom of speech. When the
reader encounters in a story written by a
right reverend gentleman the not infre-
quent use Of a word deprecated in fas-
tidious society, and certainly not heard
at church entertainments. he must bear
In mind that so-called PROCLAMATION is pref
cradle to emasculation. He must remem-
Der, also, that the word is used In its IL
illustrative literary sense, and, like many
other things which appear in works of

author. Doubtless the bishop might give
at great length and In the most c~onvtnc-
ing manner other reasons for not sacrihc-
ing plain English to dashes, but enough
has been set forth to make his position
clear.
An objection at once arises that If This
imponte word has been employed simply

versation In which the people of the book

clergyman be justified in reporting con-
versations even more literally? And so,
proceeding to the least common denomina-
tor, what might not be permitted of the
ordinary writer of fiction who is not re-

as an ordained instructor of the masses?
Such questions as these must present
themselves to writer's who would fair

There has hardly been a time in history
when women were so much to the fore,
or when they took their places to
such an extent with men. Many AVE met
with success; they have been heralded all
over the world, and their names are
household words. while others. through
some force of circumstances or other, have
met with defeat. They have tried just as
hard and nave made every sacrifice go
gain ultimate success. but the day is yet
to come when they may rest on their
laurels.
That such conditions exist cannot be dis
puted, and the truth of the fact only goes
to prove that 1t is only the woman who
can do the small things at home, who can
Conquer domestic difficulties, and work
shoulder to shoulder with her husband
In the days of adversely, who can hope
to do greater things in the outside world.
There are any number of women who
are of the opinion that they are cut out
for some sort oil career; they never know
just what, but something far removed
from the petty little affairs of everyday
home life.
They are not satisfied with the work
they have to do; they must do something
gReat, and the little places where they
could fit in are often neglected.
The woman who suffers like this may
possibly have some talent, but it isn't
really anything to talk about, If at the
same time she is not able to make those
around her happy; If her husband and
her children are not her first considera-
ton and her home life ideal.
such a woman never sees her life
from this point of view. She regards her.
self as mismated, as having made a ter
rible mistake by marrying a man who
does not understand her. She blames
him for retarding the progress she thinks
she would make il she were only allowed
the opportunities her soul Graves. She is
not only unhappy herself, but she is re-
sponsible for the ~unhappiness of those
around her.
The proper thing for the woman with a
mistaken idea of her own talent Is to
devote herself to her home and her home
surroundings. To be the guiding star Of
her family, the propeller of the home, as
1t were, should be her ambition. Let her
spend her talents on her own in the be-
ginning; then 1t is time enough to let the
world benefit by them.

Concerning Trouble.

Do not let yourself be troubled by
trouble.
You do not have to worry if you do
not want to.
When you feel a worry coming on
Just run, get your hat and take a long
walk. II you cannot do this go in the
back yard, If you AVE a garden, and
putter around among the plants which
grace it; or get a broom and sweep, or.
If you can, put your mind upon a good
book.
But whatever you do, do something.
If you sit with folded hands the worry
will grow and grow, until finally it gets
almost too big for you shoulders. If
you squelch it, and start right in to
think about something else, the worry
will give UP the fight and u away.
and before you know 1t there is nothing
to fret about.
Some morbid women get quite a little
~leasure- out of worrying. They go
about with l%ugubrious countenances,
pull down the shades, pin their hair in
a tight knot. and nearly sigh their
heads off. But even if they do like this
mode of conduct they have no right to
indulge such moods. There are people
around them who want to be happy,
and who do not care to see their tears
or listen to their complaints.
Just smile every time you get an OPP
%portunity, and If the opportunities do
not come to you often enough. make
some of your own. MOLLlE.

A Hateful Type.

There is always at least n woman
in every community who thinks 1t her
duty to tell her n%eighbors how to be-
have and what course to take under all
circumstances.
The shutters of her front windows are
generally closed, that she may peep
through them, the better to know what
is going on about her. She knows just
how many kinds of vegetables the
%neighbor on her left has for dinner, and
she can tell to a nicely just how many
times the neighbor on her right goes
shopping and how many bundles she
brings home. The women across the
street also come in for a large share of
her attention; she knows just how
many times they chat from window to
window, and just how often they bor-
row baking powder or a cup of sugar
from each other.
She is never tired Of relating all she
knows, with a few additions, to every
one who will listen. If she hears of a
genuine piece of scandal she is in her
glory, and Immediately starts out to
find an appreciative listener.

polish that 1 abhor nearly every one who
sees them wants a set.
While recommending spoonmaking to
women. perhaps It Is only fair for me to
say that the girl who undertakes it must
be willing to work. Handmade spoons
are worth all they bring. I like to make
them. but I prefer to make Jewelry. to
work in stones.
That's another field in which women
would excel. as lapidaries. Women, as a
rule. have truer eyes for color than men;
they are more deft with their fingers. and
l have always found them more PAINS
taking. more willing to follow instructions
and hence quicker to learn.
Il would also advise women to repair
jewelry. That is work that may be done
at home Just as conveniently as sewing,
and point in its favor at least is that
the majority of persons owning handsome
jewelry are afraid to trust large shops
with their treasures"

WIRELESS TELEPHONY.
Practicable Range Only About Ten
Miles at Present.

The range Of practicable wireless tele-
phony is as yet only ten miles or so.
One reason for this, says the Review
of Reviews, is the feeblessness of the cleo
trio currents used in telephone conyersa-
ton over wires as compared with those
that are capable Of being used in tele-
graphing either with or without wires.
Telephone conversation has never yet
been successfully carried to a distance Of
100 miles of submarine cable under the
ocean. The limiting telephone range over
such cables has been about sixty miles.
Consequently wireless telephony does not
have to be carried to many times its pres
ent range in order to beat wire telephony
on submarine cables.
The conditions are, however, very diff
ferent over land. Wire telephony is COM
mercially practised up to distances of LOO
miles, and is capable of being extended by
sufficient expenditure of money on the
wires to $500 miles, or even more.
Wireless telephony has heretofore to be
vastly extended In range in order to beat
the record Of wire telephony over land.
