 Harmony tho Secret of Efectiveness
 In gathering together the materials fora gown, harmony, not contrast, is the idea to bear in mind. While differ ent tones of one color may be employed to advantage, no second color enters the composition this season, except in tiniest touches in the trimmings In the matter of favorite colors, darker shades have the preference, and black, either alone or in combination with white-"Magpie combination" it IS

 Fringes, ,asse1s and pendant orna- ments of all sorts, when judiciously used, are good. Satin-covered cord is used in much the same manner as braid, which it frequently replaces. What is called homemade look, applied as a term of disapprobation to a gown, may, in quite another sense of the word, be applied to most.attractive trimmings and ornaments.

 It should be applied to the roots of the hair every day or every other day according to the effect of the application. If the scalp is. very red and irrItated one should wait before making another application. It Is better to use 1t in this way by itself than to add it, as IS so often done. to the hair tories, for then the strength can be regulated as well as the length of time of its use. Castor Oil
 Castor oil is often recommended for hair-tonics or incorporated in them. It is no better than the oily substances all ready mentioned, and its odor makes 1t unpleasant.
 In those cases where the hair is fall ing alarmingly, shaving the scalp is re- sorted to. aild undoubtedly with much benefit. The hair is shaved several times, or until marked improvement is shown, before 1t is allowed to grow again.
