in which these ingredients are placed
should be scrupulously clean and the
cooking must be gentle. When the mix
ture is reduced to a gill. strain through
bit OF thin cloth: and add a table
spoonful each Of alcohol and cologne.
The best way Of applying this solution
is with small sponge. Put on just
enough to make the hair slightly damp.
Quantity is not harmful. but It Is likely
to show on the waves when dry. That
this may be entirely avoided, brush the
curls lightly after taking out the waves.
Gum Arabic Keeps Kinks In Hair.
Gum arabic may be used instead OF
ounce seed for making hair stiffening.
To compound it use one ounce and q half
of the gum Look it over carefully and
reject any foreign particles. Then over
the Jumps pour gill Of rose water. Pu,
all in bottle and place in a warm spot
to stand until the gum Is dissolved. When
this Is liquid strain and add small DROP
of aniline to give slight tint. This
preparation makes the hair glossy and
gives a better finish than ounce seed
When using these liquids with the curl
ers put on both at night, allowing to re-
main until morning
Women whose hair is straight will some
times find. observing it closely, that there
may be just one lock that has a natural
twist. This may not be discovered until
after waving has been pFacticed for a
time. but at the first indication every
thing must be done to encourage 1t. The
hair must be put up so that the twist Is
creasing the likelihood ito curl. If done
up against the grain.. as 1t were. the re.
suit will more probably be to straightep
than to wave.

NAVAL INCREASE OPPOSED.
Petition Of Clergymen Submitted to
the Senate

A petition against the proposed increase
of the navy by the expenditure of over
$50, OO0. 900 for four new battleships has
been laid before the Senate by Senator
Hale chairman of the committee on naval
affairs. The petition is signed by Rev.
Henry c. Potter, bishop of New York. and
other clergymen who desire the naval
program limited to one battleship. The
fact that the President had stated that
this country had told the world" the
petition says that this country would
only keep up its naval strength" was
cited as reason against further increase
in the nava, establishment. The increase
already made, the petition cites, had
been the basis of the argument for the
increase in the French navy and was
being used TO secure increases in tho
armament of Asiatic nations.

TO Impress on Men,

Usually when a large dinner is beine

moved until there. Unless so stated on
the card there is no charge for check

If a CLAW hammer'is worn, the studs
should be pearls, and the tie a white
lawn string. The waistcoat should be
double-breasted and white. II dinner
jacket is selected, and this Is quite
suitable II only young men are to be
present at the dinner, the studs should
be small gold ones. and the tie q black
batwing. The waistcoat would he black
to match the coat. -
There Is no regulation shape Of col

white gloves. but some men omit them
When eating soup, the bowl Of the
spoon to I'LL should be dipped in near
the inner edge Of the plate and pushed
to the outer margin. It is not good
form to bring the spoon toward tho
inner margin to fill it. Thin SOUPS are
always taken from the side of the spoon
bowl, and thick soups in the same way,
when possible The only time when it
Is correct to put. the point Of the spoon
to the lips is when a man Is taking a
thick soup and has a heavy mustache.
This is then permissible. because it is
the cleanest method of eating.
Peas must be eaten with q fork, not a
spoon. Grape fruit us taken with q
small spoon, either a teaspoon or one
made for the purpose knife should
not be used to cut ash. Such food
should be broken with the fork alone.
To touch any food on the plato with
ones finger is the height of bad form
but 1t is by no means;uncommon to see
a person use the index finger to push
something on the fork When assist
ance of this kind is necessary a bit of
bread must be used as "a pusher." Ones
fingers must never come in contact
with food.
Failure during a meal to wipe the
lips before drinking makes a most un-
slightly glass. It's rim will be greasy

Unless q woman really desires to ne

irons cannot fail to dry out the natural
oil in the tresses, making them crisp
broken, and often gray.
Instead of waving the hair by this IN
furious heat process substitute patent
waivers or liquid curling preparations.
AS to Curriers' the range is so wide
that usually only after trying many kinds
does a woman find that which best suits.
The quality of hair differs, SO that one
method of putting it UP may succeed per-
fectly with one person and fail utterly
with another. 1t is well, in selecting, to
get a make that will form large waves, or
If small variety is chosen. the curls
should be done loosely, for just now
tight kfnk is neither fashionable nor be-
coming.
How to Make Hair Curl.
To moisten the hair n some way is
necessary to make the curl hold" and
when there is a natural inclination to
wavyness water may be sufficient. For
really straight locks, however, water is
practically useless, for some kind of sticky
preparation. such az bandoline, Is needed.
1t is harmless, ana at the same time eff

The foundation of most of these curling
fluids is ounce seed. To prepare one kind.

CARE OF EYEBROWS.
How to Use Pure Dyes If Desired.

Ii the eyebrows of child were as we'll
taken care of as its teeth there would
be fewer demands for tonics and dyes
In later life. Nc part of the body, and no
feature. will be attractive, unless atten-
ton is given to making 1t so. This is ad-
mitted as regards hands, complexion,
hair. etc, yet many women never brush
their brows nor make any effort to inn
prove this most conspicuous part of the
face, until suddenly they discover that
instead of having two pretty, lustrous,
well-shaped lines of good color over the
eyes their brows are scraggy, rough and
irregular, having no more gloss than any
hair that is never brushed. This. unfor-
tunately, is the average condition and,
once realised, inquiries for dyes and tOh-
les come with Impotence.
To the use of dyes for the brows and
lashes / am opposed, for / think most
as one might suppose of the chemical
matter. There are combinations quite
non-poisonouS. but the chance Of getting
some of the liquid into the eye when try
ing to color the lashes is SO great and
may be fraught with such painful. If not
serious consequences. that ! think such
risk is not justified. When 1t comes to
coloring the brows few but experts can
do it artistcdfiy. and daubing, wherein
the dye is put on unevenly, some of 1t
going through to the skin beneath, is far
worse than unkept brows.
In spite of these acknowledged facts
many women still wish to use dyes, as
the frequent inquiries in my mail prove
conclusively so for those / am giving a
few formulas.
In regard to applying them l would say
further that small camelS hair brush
is always the best with which to put on
the stain, and that the smallest quantity
should be applied at time.
Soap and Water
After Che brush has been dipped in dye
It must be wiped on the edge of bottle
Or saucer that no drop hangs when first
putting ITO the brows- If this precaution
Is neglected the result Is bound to be I'M
satisfactory. The brows should always
thoroughly dried before any dye is used
on them.
AS to black coorings, the best is that
made ,fnoin. one! dram of gum arabic. one
and three-quarters drains of India ink,
powdered. and a gin of rose water.
If possible to reduce the ink and gum
to finer powder than when bought 1t
should be done before combining with the
rose water. Small quantities of the LIQUID
should be put in at a time, shaking con-
stantly When all the water is added the
bottle is corked and stands over night in
a warm but not hot place. In the morn
ing the liquid is strained through a mus
lin, the sediment being rejected.
This is practically indelible and should
any drop get on the skin it must be wiped
off at once with lemon juice. When dry
water will not affect 1t.
Black brows with blonde hair are so out
OF taste and startling that. except on the
stage the combination should never be
made. To make drak brown brows here

AID OF RECHABITES
WAYNE W. CoRDELL DISCUSSES
PROHIBITION SITUATION.

Wayne w. Cordell, the sitting past high
chief Of the Rechabites. takes issue with
those members of the order whe are
opposing prohibition in Washington.
'There is an opportunity now for all
who desire to vote for prohibition to use
their efforts" he says, before the victory
is won.
NO one is so blind" Mr.. Cordell adds.
las those who will not see. They claim
the action at Newport News does not au-
thorize the order to support prohibition.
and then make comments that show the
hopeless condition of their contention.
They know that republicans and demo-
Gratis are supporting prohibition in Wash
ington who will not touch the prohibition
party in the states. still here comes a self
constituted authority. who says: No sane
organization could think of such para
doxical and absurd policy. L claim that
no reasonable man who has no ak to
grind and processes to believe in the tenn
perance cause can sit idly by and en-
courage the enemy. He should renounce
the temperance movement that Is sweep
ing over the country or he should support
it.
Resolutions adopted at GAINESVILLE, Ohio
in 1906, by our order are quoted. They
| were written by me and it is reasonable to
suppose that l have a better knowledge OF
their meaning than anybody else. They
were addressed to the Anti-Saloon League
a political organization and re ated to the
High Tent receiving an invitation to take
a hand in the anti-Saloon national gath
ering.
Against Political Prohibition.
I'm my address at that convention In
GAINESVILLE 1 have been correctly quoted.
1 advised against political prohibition
then. 1 have not changed. What the
executive council of the High Tent OBJ
jects to now is that the public should be
deceived by few Rechabites who claim
to be the order and thereby lend aid to
the enemy. A past high chief ruler of the
order who has not taken the degrees
would be an oddly indeed but we may
have one or two that have not taken
them. The obligation I took had no quail
flying clause as to suitable ways Any
third. degree member of the order can
read the obligation and then decide
whether High Chief Ruler Vowles was
correct in his statement as to the obliga-
ton we take or not.
AT our mass meeting the It'll instant.
at which every tent of the order was rep
resented. Mrs. Clinton Smith. president
of the local w. C. T. L.. and some of the
national officers sat on the same platform
with Mr.. Vowles, and the churches of the
city are throwing open their doors to the
order that the prohibition movement may
be advanced.
ut Is not true that the order is being
placed in a ridiculous light by advocating
prohibition here in Washington. 1t has
stopped being ridiculous by espousing pro-
hibition here in q city where actions
speak louder than words. and where God
the churches and those who think the
open saloon a bad thing are all in line.
