Grandmother, she watched her youngest de-

Tearing out long strands of hair is not the proper
way to battle with tangles. The better method is
to lift each lock separately and gently work coarse
oothed comb through it. If this treatment is patient

through the entire mass from scalp to tips without
disodging a single hair from its roots
"Of course this will take considerable time, because
your hair like that of most young girls is exceed
ngly thick, but it will not long remain luxuriant If
you persist in violently brushing it with stiff, coarse
brstled brush-a toilet implement, by the way,
which is most unsanitary unless regularly cleansed
with a mixture of soap and ammonia in boiling
water.
st is well bear in mind that brush is for the
scalp but for the hair which will become dry strong

sometimes the hair of a quite young girl viii

Rice Packages for Weddings

everyone knows rice plays an important part at
wedding festivities and the smart thing now Is to
ado small portions of 1t up in fascinating little
packages that cleverly contrved to suggest BRIDE
roses. This achieved by using squares OF the most
delicate crinkly paper of pure white, into which
handful of rice is put and securely tied with white
ribbon finished lavishly with innumerable loops
The four points of the square which fare out above
the tied circle of ribbon are decately pincneu anu
shaped to look like the petals of a rose.
When dozens of these are prepared and piled up on
a silver tray, which they are passed to the guests
they make most lovely effect. They are not given
out of course until just before the brides departure
and on her appearance she is not to be pelted with
Them confetti fashion, for they are too large Tor that
so the rice is removed by cracking the side OF the
crinkly paper.

7- HIS is quite the most delightful time of the
whole year In which to shop when every
store window displays fascinating new
gowns and hats of colors which show that
the spring is very nearly here once more, and
hint also of the balmy days of summer so soon to
follow Even the school girl, immersed as she is in
her studies that her second term, may show
better results than the first part of the year-even
she cannot resist promise of sprngtime and must
spend some time in the stores selecting the gowns
which the first days will call for.
The timeworn habit of setting Easter Sunday as
the day for the Inauguration of spring, spring gar
ments has last given way before the dictates of
common sense and to-day straw hats and light
weight costumes donned at whatever time in
March or early April the weather renders such gar
ments more comfortable, regardless of whether or
not Easter time is already past is not to arrive
for some weeks to come. Assuredy old winter gowns
which have done good and faithful service for many
months are bound to look shabby and unattractive
as soon the spring days of bright sunshine and
bamy breezes have appeared so that the girl who
desires look smartly and appropriately gowned at
all times will take to order her new frocks full
early in the season. that she will be ready and
eager for the spring, matter how early it may
make its appearance
TT FTER ALL the spring in this climate is
n very short anyway that unless light weight
will be given scarcely any at all, quickly
does unpleasantIy hot weather follow upon the days
of frost and snow.
In erratic climate this, when days of en-
ervating heat are frequently followed in the space
of few hours by freezing temperature, a smart
cloth coat and skirt costume must be provided for
every separate For summer there must be
white suit of serge or homespun, for autumn dark
colored serge cheviot for winter thoroughly in
terlined heavy serge broadcloth and for spring
light weight tweed, serge chevot of a light, be-
coming shade. Later mohar, nuns yelling
pongee may be worn, but early in the year, to put
on the heavy winter suit is laid aside a
coat and skirt costume In light weight cloth is
lutely essential
the case during the winter but for the school
dark blue to be the favorte shade. For after
light gray gray of medium shade relieved
by collars and cuffs Of white pique duck the
jacket is decidedly smart There also many
shades of deep pink and queer Japanese shades of
blue which will be much this spring by young
girls.
Every street suit should have its hat to correspond
| at any rate Tuscan possibly black hat
trimmed in some way to carry out the design of
the dress. Yellow and Tuscan straw hats are always
useful, since trimmed with black velvet and wings
with varied colored flowers they frequently be
made to do service with more than the costume.
Plated skirts quite out but among the

spring models many skirts show a certain amount or
funess and plaitings let in below the knee. Plain
skirts with the high waist line will also be worn
throughout the summer, but for a slender, girlish
figure the small amount of fulness allowed is apt
to prove the becoming and especially is this the
with the skirts of walking length
All jackets continue long, but for young girl the
coat should not reach below the knee and may be
several inches shorter if the length is unbecoming
Box 'front.' half fitted back long tight sleeves and per-
haps fancy and cuffs make up the smart jacket
for school wear For afternoon the more delicate
colored coat and skirt may be ornamented with
simple arrangement of braiding strappng, but as
a rule the more severe models the best, they

and trimmings of the hat keeping the costume quite
distinct from that intended for general wear

have been popular and how unprecedented their popu
larity has been. They certainly not fashionable
