OF THE HAIR
PROPER GROOMING ESSENTIAL
TO ITS WELFARE.
Nothing Tends More to an Attractive
Appearance Than Well Arranged
and Well Kept Tresses--
Washing and Brushing.

Well-groomed hair always makes
one look neat and fresh, and If the
hair is kept fluffy and glossy long
step is made toward an attractive ap-
pearance. Very few people realize
how delicate even the most tenderly
cared for hair may be. They even
handle it roughly, brush it the wrong
way to make it fluff, and leave it in
tangle at night, to break with every
restless movement.
When taking the hair down at
night it should always be brushed
out smooth, the scalp brushed for
three or four minutes. and the hair
loosely braided. This brushing takes
the dust out of the hair and stimu-
lates the circulation in the scalp. 1t
Is impossible to have healthy and
beautiful hair unless the scalp is free
from dust and dandruff. Brushing
and washing will remove both.
1t is mistake to wash the hair too
often. Once month, If dry; twice, II
inclined to be oily, together with thor
OuSn DIuouluS3 ouOulu pC ouAbNACNN
To clean the hair thoroughly 1t
must be washed in soft water-rain-
water, If practical; If not, then city
water softened with borax. An excel.
lent shampoo for hair that needs a
thorough cleaning is compounded OF
one ounce of shaved ivory soap, one
ounce of borax, two tablespoonfuls of
alcohol, the beaten yolk of one egg,
one pint of warm water. Keep tight
ly corked. After rubbing the scalp
and hair thoroughly with the sham
poo it should be rinsed with clear,
soft, warm water and then with clear,
cold water, and thoroughly dried,
either in the sun or by artificial heat.
The thorough rinsing Of the hair Is
most essential, as the hair does not
breathe" properly il the scalp is
clogged with any soap, etc. II the
hair is at all inclined to be oily II
must be rinsed three times-hrst with
almost hot water, then with warm
and lastly with very cold water This
will leave the hair in an absolutely
clean and normal condition.

SOFT coLoRs ARE POPULAR.
All White Costumes Not So Much In
Evidence This Season.

1t cannot be truthfulIy said that
white ever really loses its popularity,
for it is always attractive in the sum
mer time but it cannot be denied that
it has lost something of its prestige
this season. Rajah tailored suits in
white are smart, and it still leads for
evening wear, but for tailored linen
suits and demi-dress there is decided
preference for the soft, unaggressiye
colors, with white in reservation for
decorative purposes. Ginghams make
pretty morning frocks, usually made
up with bias bands and pipings Of
white or color, and always
rather severely For general af.
ternoon wear lawns and mulls
are brought into service where some
thing more dressy than the tailored
linen is desired. Handkerchief linen
is one of the most satisfactory mate.
rails for afternoon costumes, and the
texture need not be too fine. 1t has
excellent wearing qualities, launders
well, and is soft, firm, and graceful.
Gowns are made as elaborate or as
simple as one desires, and still remain
effective A charming model in walk
ing length had a slightly gored skirt
with a nine-inch hounce around the
bottom.
This fiounce was finished around
the bottom with three narrow, lace
edged Tufies, and was attached to the
skirt with a band of Valenciennes in
sertion. The blouse had little Dutch
neck outlined with band Of insertion
wider than that which headed the
founce, and below this the linen was
finely tucked sto form a yoke effect
straight across from shoulder to
shoulder. There was a simple design
in hand embroidery below the yoke.

is infectious. The love OF an
open fire is born in the human race
because of the comfort it afforded be-
fore stoves were invented.
A house as wide as this should be
set well back from the street. You
can't always choose your street line
because others may want something
different. You don't want your house
back behind others because of the
view. | don't think houses look any
better strung along in straight line,
in fact, / prefer to see them a little
inderendent, but you can't go entirely
by looks. You feel you have per-
feet right to look up and down the
street, and you don't want some one to
build out near the street line to inter
fere with your view If you are
rightly constructed you don't want to
discommode your neighbors. The re-
suit is we often have arbitrary build
ing lines called restrictions which are
written in the deeds and are supposed
to follow the land If it should be again
transferred. These restrictions seldom
are a hardship, because intended pur-
chasers usually are willing to pay
more for lots protected in this way.

Forty feet square on the ground is
size enough for large cottage house
with good sized rooms conveniently ar
ranged. The hall in the center with
rooms on both sides Of it takes a per-
sons mind back to boyhood times
when the larger houses were mostly
built on this general plan. They may
be called colonial, but they are just
as convenient by any other name.
There are some sensible house de-
signs that we can never get away
from. We may move partition

improvements, which in themselves re-

necessary not only to put in an ade-
quate heating device that will warm
the whole house, but the use OF the
building paper in the walls comes in
as an additional precaution. You may
work with the plan according to GU
mulative experience in minor details,
but the old fashioned hall in the mid
die with living rooms on both sides
has remained and will remain as one
Of the most comfortable habitations
that man ever devised.
Long, narrow city lots are respon-
sible for the dark side lane in lieu OF
a hall and the so-called house that has
chain of rooms reaching away back
yonder until it is necessary to con-
meet the kitchen with the front door
by electricity and to install tele-
phone for easy communication be-
tween the front and the rear. An
architect is given a certain plot OF
ground to work on, and he is expected
to cut out house to fit. Wide lots
in crowded cities are about as scarce
as automobiles on sandy road they

Antique lace and filet nets are ex-

embroidery is effective on antique
lace by "going over" certain promi-

which accounts for the scarcity of
wide houses in cities.
It takes more material to inclose a
rectangle than 1t does to inclose a
square containing the same number OF
square feet of floor surface, so that
square house is much more econom-
ical to build so far as the inclosure is
concerned than almost any other
shape. OF course there are other
building conditions that will modify
this general rule somewhat, and one
of these is the expanse of roof neces-

L9SIleS WeehAy'
 Probably when Jackson called. his friend, General John H. Eaton, who had just married the fascinating Mrs. rimberlake ("Peggy O'Nei1') into his cabinet, he dld not realize that he was handling dynamite. Gossip had busted itself with Mrs. Timberlake's name, and the wives of the members of Jack- aori's court circle refused to recognize her. With his accustomed chivalry and impetuosity. Jackson rushed to her res- cue, made her recognition a test of loyalty to his administration and to the Democratic party, but was defeat ed for the first and only time of his life. The Peggy O'Neil war;" how ever. excited more popular interest throughout the country than Jackson's Creek War in Florida did a decade and half earlier. It destroyed the chances of Calhoun (whose wife boycotted Mrs. Eaton) for ever reaching the presi- dency, 1t placed Van Buren (who. as 8 widower, was free to extend his atten- tions to Mrs. Eaton) In the line of s1c- cession to the White House. 1t smashed Jackson's cabinet, 1t sent many Demo- crats into the opposition; 1t aided In establishing the Whig party. and 1t had profound influence on the politics of the time. ...
 The Storer irruption lacks the serio- comic tumultuousness of the Mrs. Eaton episode. Incidentally, however. it shows that the intriguante in Amer lean politics Is an excellent person for public men to shun.
