Singeing the hair is still thought to
be most helpful toward continued
growth, and, if you cannot afford to
have it singed by professional hair
dresser, then you should know exactly
how to go to work to have 1t singed at
home. Divide the hair into numerous
strands and twist them tightly, then
rough up the ends, so that they stand
out about an inch. Have your friend
pass lighted wax taper along the
length of each strand, while you hold
It out at full length and as taut as
possible. In this way there is less
danger of fire than If one attempts to
do the singeing for ones self. Re-
member that it requires skill not to
burn off the long hair as well as the
split ends, so do not choose an assist
ant who is nervous or whose hand
trembles.

PRETTY DESIGNS IN RAPHIA.
Embroidery in Almost Any Shade That
Can Be Desired.

Some of the most beautiful en-
broidery is done now in raphia, which
may be had in almost all shades or
dyed to suit the needs of any artistic
worker. 1t looks extremely difficult
too, when used to decorate curtains or
other household furnishings. A cur
tain of burlap, for instance, in green
may be made artistic and beautiful by
an embroidered border of red and
brown raphia. The beauty of the
raphia is that the work is quite easy
and the results are remarkably good,
while at the same time the materials
for working cost practically nothing.
One may buy bunch of raphia-
what would correspond to a large
skein of wool yarn-for ten cents. The
raphia may be used on many materi-
ais; denim, for instance, fine netting
or a coarse cotton material. The
needle used should be a darning
needle, and if the raphia is too thick
1t may be split to the required size.

Stunning Travelling Gowns.

Since many fashionable welded
couples elect to take their honey
moon tour in an automobile, the trav-
cling costume of the bride now shows
radical departures from the simply
tailored, soberly shaded suit of a few
years ago, when it was the aim of
every well-bred pair to attract as lit
tie attention as possible. Some of
the travelling gowns that are being
made up for October brides are of fine
broadcloth in the light shades of blue
and brown and usually in three pieces,
the trained skirt and elaborately
trimmed bodice of the princess gown
being supposed to represent two
pieces, and the long and fancifulIy
shaped directoire or empire coat the
third section. Not always are these
costumes of one material trimmed
with satin or silk, for 1t is the fad of
the moment to have the gown of
heavy corded ottoman or satin and the
coat of cloth or vice versa.

Mr.. Sol Ketchmaid, landlord Of the
Ship, sat in his snug bar. rising oc-
casionally from his seat by the taps
to minister to the wants OF the Gus
toners who shared this pleasant re-
treat with him.
Forty years at sea before the mast
had made Mr. Ketchmaid an authority
on affairs maritime; five years in
command of the Ship inn, with the
nearest other licensed house five miles
off, had made him an autocrat
Twice recently had he found oc-
casion to warn Mr.. Ned Clark, the vii
iage shoemaker, the strength of whose
head had been a boast in the village
for many years. On the third occasion
the indignant shoemaker was inter
rupted In the middle of an impas-
stoned harangue on free speech and
bundled into the road by the ostler.
After this nobody was safe.
Tonight Mr.. Ketchmaid, meeting
his eye as he entered the bar, nodded
curtly. The shoemaker had stayed
away three days as protest, and the
landlord was naturally indignant at
such contumacy.
Good evening, Mr.. Ketchmaid,'
said the shoemaker, screwing up his
little black eyes; lust give me a
small bottle O. lemonade, If you

go and get your lemonade some
where else," said the bursting Mr.
Ketchmaid.

the shoemaker, "and you've got to

lican is compelled to serve people

the taps, affected not to hear.

maker.
Understand, Ned Clark" said the
indignant Mr.. Ketchmaid, Il don't
want your money in this public house.
Take 1t somewhere else"
"Thank'ee, but l prefer to come
here" said the shoemaker ostenta'
tiously slipping his lemonade.
"Do you disbelieve my word?" de-
manded Mr.. Ketchmaid, hotly.
"Why, o. course l do" replied the
shoemaker; I'VE all do. You'd see
how silly they are yourself If you only
stopped to think. You and your
sharks!- shark would want to eat
you unless it was blind"
II was about a week later, Mr.
Ketchmaid had just resumed his seat
after serving customer, when the
attention of all present was attracted
by an odd and regular tapping on the
brick-paved passage outside. Il
stopped at the taproom, and muir
muir of voices escaped at the oper
door. Then the door was closed, ant
a loud. penetrating voice called on the
name Of Sol keIchmgid.

'Hennery wig-gettl" gasped the
landloard, as small man with ragged
whiskers appeared at the wicket, "it
can't bel"
The newcomer regarded him ten
derly for a moment without word,
and then, kicking open the door with
an unmistakable wooden leg, stumped
into the bar. and grasping his out
stretched hand shook 1t fervently,
"The sight o. you, Hennery Wig
gett, is better to me than diamonds"
said Mr.. Ketchmaid, ecstatically. How
did you get here?"
"a friend of his, Cap'n Jones OF the
barque Venue, gave me a passage to
London" said Mr.. Wiggett, "and I've
tramped down from there without a
penny in my pocket"
"And Sol Ketchmaid's glad to see
you, sir" said Mr.. Smith, who, with
the rest of the company, had been
looking on in n state of great admira-
tion. Hes never tired of telling us
'ow you saved him from the shark and
'ad your leg bit off in so doing"
I'D ave my other bit off for i'm,
too," said Mr.. Wiggett, as the landlord
patted him affectionately on the shoul-
der and thrust a glass Of spirits into
his hands. Cheerful, would. The
kindest-earted and the bravest man
that ever breathed, is old Sol Ketch-
maid"
You never card anything more O.
pore Sam Jones, 1 s'pose?" said Mr..
Ketchmaid.
Mr.. Wiggett put down his glass.
Il ran up agin a man in Rio Janeiro
two years ago." he said, mournfully.

the tucks, one or more, as is required.
Second-If the dress or skirt is
plain the hem may be let down and a
facing put under.
Third-If number two does not give
sufficient length, then instead of fac
ing when letting out the hem add an
extension hem that will give the
necessary length, being careful to
match the design if there Is any in
the material. A row of feather
stitching may be made over the join
ing or finishing braid may be placed
over 1t.
Fourth-Several rows of insertion
may be set in near the bottom of the
skirt.
Fifth-For girls little older, a cir.
cular or pointed yoke may be put In

he meant. 1 lost my leg saving is

$50 he ought to be-" said Mr.. Clark,
"and I'm proud to shake 'ands with a
hero"
He gripped Mr.. Wiggett's hand, and
the other followed suit. The wooden
legged man wound up with Mr.. Ketch-
maid, and, disdaining to notice that
that veracious mariners grasp was
somewhat limp, sank into his chair
again and asked for cigar.
Lend me the box, SOL" he said, jov-
ialIy, as he took it from him. I'm going
to and 'em round. This is my treat,
mates. Pore old Henry Wiggett's

He passed the box round, Mr..
Ketchmaid watching in helpless indig'
nation as the customers, discarding
their pipes, thanked Mr.. Wiggett.
Closing time came all too soon, Mr.
Wiggett, whose popularity was never
for a moment in doubt, developing
gifts to which his friend had never
even alluded.
"I 'ope you're satisfied" said Mr.
Wiggett, as the landlord, having shot
the bolts of the front door, returned tc
the bar

Ketchmaid, shortly; you should ha
