For any one fond of sewing and EN-

this sort of work. and many girls and
women commence now to gather to-

weather arrives. enforcing inertia
from active sports and exercise, they
will have on hand sufficient materials

PROPER CARE OF THE HAIR.

Nealect of the Hair.

The greatest trouble with women,
when it comes to 'beautlfying.' Is
that they will not stick to one par
ticular method long enough to see II
it benefits or not. but must try every
method under the sun for two or three
nights each. This is especially so In
regard to the different methods con
corning the care of the hair.
Ones tresses need Just as careful
and regular care as do husbands and
babies. Select one method which you
think fits your case and then stick
to 1t.
To dlsentangle the hair use only
coarse comb and be sure that every
tooth is firm and smooth, so as not to
split and break the hair. Brushing the
hair has been sadly overestimated. A
dozen or two strokes each night is suf
ficient to remove the days's dust anc
dirt and to promote circulation.

tion and common sense. Sometimes a
straightaway plain roof fits a house
better than a much more expensive
affair Of different shape could pos

houses require a little extra expense
in designing and building the roof to
give the property the appearance 1t
deserves.

SUMMER FRocKs FOR CHILDREN.
Fine Cross Bar Handkerchief Linen
Will Be Popular.

Among the prettiest of the sheer
little frocks for chlldrens summer
wear are those of the fine cross bar
handkerchief linen, made with Dutch
yokes of the finest baby Irish crochet
lace. From this lace band tabs fall
over the short sleeve, which is either
made as a puff caught in by lace
strap cuff above the elbow, or as a
circular flare edged with lace and
about six inches deep at outer part.
Hand embroidery In eyelet designs
done in dainty colors, like the famous
broderie Madeira, is shown on the new
est yokes OF children's linen frocks,
the yoke OF the kind commonly called
Dutch, but extending In straps to cuff

all right, unless we carry economy to
the extreme.
Here is a roof that defies uniformity;
at the same time, 1t is pleasing and at
tractive. The old-fashioned idea that
both sides or both ends of roof must
be exactly alike to be in keeping has
been exploded. Some uniformity In
design must be maintained, but 1t can
be and should be done without too
much sameness.
The rooms lay out very nicely in
this plan and there Is very little waste
space. A center hall like this is a
great room-saver, both upstairs and
down, and 1t gives an entrance to the
cellar that Is very easy and accessible
Another pleasing feature and one
that works for economy is the placing
of the large chimney where il answers
for the crate in the reception room
and for the kitchen range as we'll as
for the heating plant. And this chin
neg is surrounded by the building In
such way as to induce good draft.
Sometimes chimney In the side OF a
house works splendidly. but for gen.
ersl satisfaction and good service .

A house roof has more influence on
the final finish of the house than most
people realize. A very homely house
may be changed into a model for an
artist simply by the addition of a roof
extension, a dormer window or some
variation in contour that adapts the
roof to the general style of the house
and its surroundings.
There are many houses in our
American cities covered with very
homely roofs. A roof that looks well
on one house is out of place on an
other. The roof on a house is like
the hat on man; 1t is all right when
the size and proportions correspond
with mans build and general make
