OF all the costumes in woman's
wardrobe, the evening gown and
street dress are the ones that receive
the most careful attention. In the for

it is then that she meets her friends:
and the latter must be chosen wisely,
for all the world that passes her in
the street may read at glance
whether or not she has good taste and
an educated eye for color.
The regular tailor-made coat and
skirt is always safe choice, but
there is little room for individuality
while the cloth street gown offers
every opportunity for original ideas.
The dress in the sketch is an excel
lent model for an early fall walking
gown, and is Just the thing to wear
under a fur or heavy cloth coat in
the winter. If one happens into a tea
room while downtown shopping, and
slips off the heavy coat, dress of this
sort looks much more attractive than
a plain shirtwaist and skirt.

For Light Hair.

Anything that is used to tighten the
hair is apt to dry 1t too much. Try
wetting it with very weak henna tea,
perhaps a quarter of an ounce of the
leaves with pint of boiling water, to
stand till the water is cold. The leaves
are strained out and rejected. the tea
being put on the hair evenly, and dry
ing on. 1t must then be washed of.
1t is not impossible that the wash
might give the least reddish tinge to
your hair, and in that case the tea
should be made weaker. 1t must hot
be used oftener than once a month.
