GAY COLORED CRETONNE
IS VERY FASHIONABLE
This Bright-Hued Material Is Used for Outdoor
Coats and as Trimming for Hats, Gowns, ETC.

There never before was a season when
cretonne was SO generally used, and con-
sequently the harvest of remnants is cor
respondingly large.
Thrifty women, who can make use of
short lengths or small pieces will take
advantage of the reduced prices and reap
the benefits to be found just now in all of
the department stores.
There are a hundred and one ways in
which cretonne can be utilized. since
everything from parasols to slippers can
be adorned with this gayly colored fabric.
l saw recently in shop beautiful piece
among piles of pretty scraps that was
enough to border a parasol. Originally
the price was $3.50 a yard. which in the
remnant was reduced more than one-half.
The length was considered too short in
proportion to the width for any practical
purpose, hence the great reduction. Evil
IDENTIFY the possibility of cutting 1T into
strips for a parasol was overlooked. An
other bargain was half yard Of Gre
tonne in a narrow width in exquisite COL
orings. 1t had an ecru background and
was about the right amount for collar
and cuff set to be worn with a tan linen
suit. yet the price was only 80 cents, and
for cretonne formerly selling at more than
81 yard was a big reduction.
Bathing. Suit Trimmed With It.
A further search revealed a lesser guam
tity still. a lovely little piece of taffeta
cretonne. which found purchaser at
once. 1t was in design Of sweetpeas
on an ecru ground, and was bought to
trim a bathing suit of brown mohair.
can imagine how very effective 1t would
be when finished, for besides being a little
unusual 1t would be serviceable, for the
material was OF such good quality that
the colors would stand the salt water
without fading.
1t is well to remember that odd pieces
of cretonne-say, half a yard thirty-sx
inches wide-will cover an lsX1S cushion,
and a strip only three four inches in
width will decorate a plain pillow top in
a simple design.
Baby carriage covers of linen can be
trimmed with a border Of cretOnne, edg-
ing the whole with a frill of white lawn

robe. but the cretonne should be good or
the colOrs will fade during the necessary
washings. However, as a remnant at a
reduced price will answer, the cover will
not be expensive.
Cretonne coats are very fashionable,
and as one and One-half yards of the
wider goods-ffty-four inches-will be
enough for a jacket in the style worn
noW-practically sleeveless-such a wrap
may be secured at comparatively small
outlay, for a length of these dimensions
can be bought for half its value.
Lamp shades are fashioned of Gre
tonne and show some extremely good ef-
fects. Silk shades often have an applique
of this popular fabric as border and for
this the merest scraps may be pressed
into service.
Cretonne hat coverings are a fad of the
moment, bat rather difficult undertaking
for an amateur unless the fiat sailor
Those dome-crOwned and droopy brim
models that look SO simple when ready
for wear are far beyond the skill of the
unframed, and should not be attempted,
though a plain broad band covering one
side of the crown is not difficult to
achieve.
Odd Pieces for House Decoration.
Strips and odd pieces of cretonne can
be used for house decoration. so that
those who have this end in view should
purchase now if they would save money
Handsome curtains may be the result

either as borders. valances or as an ap-
plfque, and pretty table cover may be
developed from plain linen and cretonne.
They may be washed, too, with perfect
safety, and will be much fresher looking
than the usual winter table cover.
Cretonne-covered cardboard boxes are
not difficult to make, and will be accepta-
BILE as holiday gifts to be used for holding
gloves. handkerchiefs or collars.
Then there are slipper bags, bags for
soiled handkerchiefs. or busters, work
bags, etc, all of which are easy to make
Such articles are always welcome gifts.
Plain wooden grocery boxes covered
with cretonne are both useful and orna-
mental and are not difficult to decorate.
Many OF the box hampers for baby's
wardrobe are now covered on the outside
with cretonne. and pretty nests of draw
ers Tor receiving an infants accessories
are often created from small cardboard
boxes confined by bands of cretonne.

SEAGIRT. n. j.. August 2S.-Gov. Fort

corning his proclamation OF yesterday and
the defiance of Atlantic City that he dare
not call out the militia to enforce the

FIRE AT ST. ELIZABETH'S.
But Employees of Government Hospi-
tai Put It Out.

Fire was discovered in one of the drying
rooms in the brick laundry building at
the Government Hospital for the Insane
Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock, and
a few moments thereafter an alarm was
sounded through the District fire de-
partment. taking to the hospital several
companies of the department
The District fremen had no occasion to
go into service. however. as the fire-hght-
ing force of asylum employees quickly
went into action as soon as the plaze was
noticed with the result that the names
were soon extinguished. the damage re-
sulting being merely nominal.
Arthur L. Deming, the foreman or the
laundry establishment first saw the fire.
1t had originated in one of the several
galvanized iron drying rooms on the nrsl
floor of the laundry, and was practicaliy
confined to a fireproof compartment from
the beginning. Mr.. Deming saw the
flames through several OF the apertures
in the drying room. and he called the
hospital employees to his assistance IN ex-
tinguishing them. There was ready re-
Spouse and soon q line of hose was play
ing upon the drying room. In the mean
time the first floor OF the building had
filled with smoke, occasioning some ex-
element, but those who were working IN
that department at the time We're able 10
leave their places in an orderly manner
and but little commotion resulted.
While the asylum fire brigade was ex-
tinguiShing the fire the communion cnefn-
zeal and truck company from Congress
Heights arrived. Shortly afterward No.
10 fire engine company from Anacostia
reached the hospital premises. by way or
Nichols avenue. and was foilowed py NO
10 engine company from Southeast wash
ington. AS stated. however, the hremen
found the blaze had been dexterously ham
died by the asylum employees and there
was no need for their services.
The fact that the hospital brigade dis
played such effective work In this case
was a source Of qualification to the ofii-
Gals of the Institution. for upon the conn
pany OF employees much dependence is
placed in checking such fires as they
may have to deal with pending the ar
rival of the fire apparatus of the Dis
trict.
This is the second time the asylum
company has been called upon to prevent
the spread of fire at the institution. and
in each instance the men have succeeded
in getting control of the flames and finally
extinguishing them. When the situation
in the laundry building Was looked over
after the fire il was stated the damage
would probably reach SO. The Ouly
things consumed in the blaze were a lot of
skirts, which were in the drying room.
Spontaneous combustion was given the
probable cause of the fire. Over fifty
people were at work In the building at
the time.

KEEPING White HAIR
FROM TURNING YELLOW

No hair is SO difficult to keep looking
clean in summer as gray tresses for the
natural tendency is to yellow. and perspi-
ration takes away the lovely slvery eff
feet Then. too, the dust dulls the sheen.
so it is only by untiring effort that the
natural beauty can be retained.
If the head could be washed every day
the problem Of shade preservation would
be solved, but under no circumstances
should gray hair be shampooed oftener
than once in four. and preferably once in
five weeks. If the texture becomes in the
least over dry the effect gets extraordi-
narily like that Of straw, and the look of
age will be materially increased on the
face Harsh gray hair is Disagreement
that a woman should use every means to
prevent, and neglect will surely cause it.
The most important method for achiev-
ing pretty gray hair is by the use of a
long, soft bristle brush. For by applying
H-even If the hair is inclined to come out
easily-the fall is not increased and the
brushing will accomplish much by way of
taking out the dust. The brush should be
used. not by drawing close down against
the scalp as would be done were one try
Ing to bring luster to the surface, but as
clothes brush might be applied, lifting
the hair in strands and bringing the bris-
ties through in short, sharp strokes that
will raise the dust and take 1t out. In this
point lies the value of the treatment. and
unless the brush is welded in such way as
to dust. rather than to brush, the whole
object has failed. If the scalp Is in good
condition, the hair is not inclined to
come out. another brush with short and
rather stiff bristles. with which long poll
fishing strokes may be given, should be
used.
About Shampooing.
More harm than good is done to gray
hair when shampooing, some one says,
and in q measure the statement is true.
for frequently cleansing agents are used
that sadly affect the color. bringing about
streaks of undesirable yellow. When
washing bicarbonate of soda is excellent
for certain shades of hair, but 1t should
never be used with gray or white. Borax
should not be used. Ammonia is also
harmful.
OF all cleansing agents the best is raw
white of an egg mixed with CASTLE soap.
The best way of making this mixture is
to shave a piece of white soap and put
with 1t about q pint Of boiling water il

Cret0nne Shirt Waists.

Few women will invest in one of the
cretonne shirt waists now on display in
the shops. They certainly are drawing at
tention and. in many cases. admiration
also. But despite the features in their
favor. only the exceptional woman will
find them becoming. and the rest of wom-
ankind will represent the fright or the
trump class, depending entirely upon the
type of woman wearing this kind of waist.
II the average woman must wear Gre
tonne, let 1t be in the way of millinery or
accessories.
The newest idea in the turn-back Elton
linen collars is the series of large polka
dots arranged decorative border.
These are set in an inch apart, and a
loosely knotted soft white tie, worn as a
finish to the collar has the pointed ends
similarly trimmed.

Cornmeal for Dry Shampoo.
A dry shampoo of cornmeal is very
cleansing If the way of doing it is thor
oughly understood If the meal is allowed
to get close to the scalp 1t becomes next
to impossible to get 1t out. 1t may be put
on close to the scalp and then brushed out
with the lifting stroke already spoken
of. With it will come much dust, and the
result will be satisfactorily cleansing.
At night the hair must be done in two
braids to ventilate the scalp. Before ar
ranging 1t in the morning shake the
tresses thoroughly and separate and air
all parts. Treatment such as this will
make q tremendous difference in the

PATROLMAN CRABBE
LEAVES THE POLICE

Mounted Patrolman Horace Crabbe
was retired from the police depart
ment yesterday at the order of Sheriff
Iaukea. In stating the reasons why he
had found it necessary TO dispense with
the officers services. the Sheriff said
that the man had been on the force q
year and did not yet own a horse, while
he had shown in other ways that he
did not realize the duty he owed TO the
public. Two or three times the officer
had bought a horse, but each time had
to surrender IT for non-payment, while
on one occasion he secured a mount,
paid part on it, sold the animal and
still owes the balance to the original
owner. These things are not regarded
by the Sheriff as actions 10 be counte-
nanced among his men. No appoint
ment to in the vacancy has as YET
been made.
