Quaint Basketry Furniture.

A representative of furniture house, who will soon return with some attrac- tive wares, writes from abroad.
 Tn France one sees basketry, as ap- piled to furniture of willow, take on all most the attributes of art. At Contrexe- vile I sketched quaint sun chair of curious weave, lined, cushioned and cur tained with brilliant turkey red chintz i; at Ddeppe a most peculiar chaise lounge of bamboo and malacca cane seemed good enough to reproduce in willow for a bungalow chair; on the way through Normandy, the dainty bird cages hang ing at the doors, the plant and flower boxes of willow, not to forget the pie turesque baby baskets-these things kept my pencil busy and my head full of pro jects to do something of the same sort in American willow when got back home At Trouville the most delightful chair, set upon @ perfect wheeled frame, tempted me beyond resistance, and l brought outright for reproduction. as could not sketch the clever mechanism of the running gear.
 If I should say that in Brittany l found 70 varieties of sabots, 1t would seem a travellers tale, but have them to show as an evidence of good faith in wooden shoes The metal tables one sees at Compeigne. round forms, with compact little chairs, all overshadowed by gay parasols of green and white stripped linen, should be used on the lawns of our own country houses-at any rate. I shall bring model with me, for the effect is so different from that of the clumsy affair one sees at home"

The Care of Everyday Clothes

A girl who cares properly for her clothes can make them last weeks longer and incidentally keep them looking better by brushing and hanging them so they will not get unshapely. This treatment Is especially necessary with directoire froclSs. for, unless adjusted when not be- ing worn, they soon take on an appear ance of age.
 No gown should be put away without brushing. Dust, if allowed to remain in the weave, makes the material rusty. Mud also weakens the threads. As wet garment spotted should be put on a hang CT and left in a room where the air will strike it. Drying quickly the mud must be removed with brush that Is not too stiff to wear the nap. Sometimes, when the dirst clings obstinately 1t Is well to rub the material together, for this 1oosens the particles without roughing the sur- face.
 If there is a trimming of silk or satin, 1t should be wiped lightly with bit of soft flannel The drop skirt must also be brushed. The gown, then ready to be put away, should be placed on a hanger without a crease in the shoulders and with the skirt folds hanging as intended. In this arrangement the frock is placed in its closet.
 Those who live in apartments where lack of cupboards necessitates the use of boxes should have plently of tissue paper to stuff all dress folds and the body and sleeves. For, unless this is done, a shop worn effect, most undesirable will soon appear

DON'T BE BALD One of Our Readers Tells How She Obtained Marvellous Growth of New Hair by the Use of Simple Home Remedy Af- ter Hair Specialists and
 Tonics Had All
 Failed.

I had what most people would call a beautiful head of golden hair. I prized 1t most highly as I considered 1t my chief attraction. Suddenly 1t began to come out very rapidly and at times I had intense itching of the scalp. Phy- sicians and hair specialists said my case was one of dandruff germs, hair microbes, etc, but nothing that they gave me did the slightest good On the contrary, my hair seemed to come out even faster, and I was now fearful lest I should become entirely bald. In my despair friend told me of an Ecuador herb which he said would positively grow hair on any head where the hair roots were not entirely gone and he said the natives of the coun- try where it grew were famous for their beautiful long hair Upon medical advice combined this herb with bay rum and menthol crystals and immediately began sfs use. In three applications it entirely stopped the intense itching of my scalp hnd in a very short time it not only btopped my falling hair, but I noticed an abundance of new hair coming in In less than one month my hair was longer, thicker and more beautiful than ever. All due to this marvellous hair growing herb. IA lady to whom I gave a formula used 1t on her daughter, and she says 1t made her hair grow five inches In less than a month Doctors to whom I have shown 1t say 1t is the only thing which will act ually grow new hair; therefore, think sle public ought to have 1t. At first thought | would keep 1t secret and sell the se- cret, but when I think how I suffered and how badly I needed 1t and how hun dreds of others must need 1t the same ns I did, I feel ought to give 1t to the world.
 Therefore I authorize this paper to pub fish the formula, which is as follows: Bay Rum oz., Lavona de Composee 2 oz., Menthol Crystals 1 dr. To-Kalon Per Hume one to two teaspoonfuls
 Ask your druggist for an oz bottle containing oz of Bay Rum, then put In the Menthol Crystals and the Perfume. Next add one-half of the bottle of Lavona de Composee, let it stand six to eight hours and add the remainder of the Law ona de Composee. Always buy the Lavona de Composee in a 2-oz. sealed bottle, as this preparation contains the juice of the Ecuador herb mentioned above, and 1t loses its strength if unsealed.
 Apply the preparation night and morn ing and rub well into the scalp. If prop erly used it will soon produce most as- tonishing results. Be cafeful not to get If on the face or any part of the body where you do not want to produce hair
 Collier Drug Co.,, the well known drug sists of this city, have filled this formula
 -k, the satisfaction from its use is so great that they have found 1t necessary to make specal provision to fill the prescription pfomptly and carefully.

corset is put on. The following may be | useful:
 | Fasten the abdominal hooks first, lift | Ing the body, with long breath, at the same time, and holding the head well back.
 After the top of the front is hooked draw the 1ooped laces from the eyelets slightly below the waist pulling the bottom of the corset much tighter than the top.
 Through this simple means healthy breathing Is permitted. for bodices are so loose that 1t is only at the waist and hips that the figure needs to be held taut.
 To keep the corset in good shape when off the person many women use block
 of wood, round which the corset is
 wrapped tightly and kept in place on
 the block with a ribbon or pins. It is
 then wrapped in tissue paper to preserve
 cleanliness. and put away, perhaps, in a
 drawer, faintly scented with orris root.
 There is no better perfume than orris
 root for all the matters of womans s
 dress.

BRILLIANT PROSPEC7US OF Y WOD1AN'S
 WORK AZ THE ZABAD1A STATE FAIR
 andN To Be Feature

be art, nsedlework. domestic science, flowers or decoration.
 The woman's department of the Ala barna State Fair has again this year, as its leader that most efficient and capable manager. Mrs. John B. Reid. Perhaps If the question were asked as to who had done more for the advancement of woman's work and womans interest in the state of Alabama than any one else the answer would be, nine times out of 10, Mrs. Reid. With a tireless energy, an indomitable will, a genuine interest in her fellow women and the desire to help them on to better things and bring about the recognition of their talents Mrs. Reid has worked and served in the capacity of head of the woman's department of the State Fair for 10 years, and 1t must be sense of decided qualification to this clever woman to see her efforts crowned with success and the measure of praise meted out to her as she so richly de- serves
 In chatting with Mrs. Reid a few days ago we were speaking of the Fair from an educational viewpoint and we both agreed that in many instances 1t was a liberal education to see and be seen as Woman's work is. at the State Fair.
 Tt Is such a pleasure to me-" said Mrs. Reid. ito work with the women of the south and of Alabama and help wom- en who are trying to help themselves. There is so much in life to do so many missions of kindness, nature should never relax in discontent Selflshness and sen- sitiveness are the baneful results of the neglect of duty In the sphere in which we are placed. Each day should record some act of love for humanity; each minute register in our own calander a tender thought of those less fortunate Assistance to our fellow men does not always consist in money. Example of ten leads to the wisest means of doing things. Successful results stimulate desire in others to accomplish purpose for themselves, hence when I ask every woman In Alabama to send her accomp- lishments to the Fair to be placed as an object lesson for public inspection I am advocating the possibility of every home being the exponent of some feature of success that will give opportunity to oth- CTS"
 And thereby the woman of originality reaches her opportunity I observed. as 1 T listened attentively to Mrs. Rleds theories

Ironing Shocked Dresses.

q have at last discovered why 1t Is that so many of the chfldren's dresses which have shocking do not present an attractive appearance after being laun- dered," said an observant woman. 1T had always supposed it was something inherent in the shocking, but find this is far from being the case. The trouble is with the laundering Shocking, I am told, Is often ruined by being ironed As soon as the weight and heat of the iron come in contact with this exquisite hand work It's beauty is forever lost. for 1t becomes crushed and will never look as 1t did at first. This does not mean that garment with shocking should not be ironed. It only means that one may iron every other square inch of the garment except where there is shocking. Shock ing depends largely for its beauty on it's depth. This depth is permanently im- paired if 1t Is ironed."

Expensive Advertising.

The development of the sample system seems to have reached the pitch of philan- throphy.
 It used to be natural enough for new residents in a neighborhood to have samples of milk and butter and that sort of thing left at their doors. But now, particularly in suburban London the various tradesmen seem to De com petinE as to who can give away most.
 In one district baker has been dis, tributing sample loaves of bread. A, another, syphons of soda water were left at every house in number o1 likely streets. A grocer. too presented a long list of prospective customers with a large cake each, as sample of his special ''4d pound line"

Always Praise Plain Girls.

People talk about f1attering girls too muchly. do not believe 1t can be done. When the shy, awkward girl of 15 stands before you try to make her less shy and less awkward by letting her un- derstand how beautiful you think her hair is. and that you, as well as other people, appreciate its loveliness.
 In almost all families there is a great yielding to the temptation to tell the truth, even when it is sure to be un- pleasant The eldest brother sees no harm In chaffing the younger sister about her big mouth, and he laughs at her awkward walk.
 Now, if this girl, who may afterward grow Into a lovely woman, were sym pathized with and praised whenever it was possible her sympathy would be awakened for others in turn, and there would be fewer cold, unfeeling women.

ful exhibitions have witnessed the prog ress of many who have contributed their work-first, a primitive effort and later a finished specimen, often representing the prize work in the womans department
 "The woman's department Is really a wonderful institution to the women of the interior of our state-the rural dis tricts so to speak, where there is little or no opportunity for recognition" I sug- gested
 You have no idea what it means" said Mrs. Reid enthusiastically. Daily have communications from all parts of the state In regard to space for exhibitions at the coming fair, and the handicraft will have from these parts will be visible expression of the interest that Is felt in the opportunity afforded. This expression will naturally find ready, cooperation from the homemakers in the cities who are daily in contact with more progress sive methods that go toward building up industries and cultivating the arts of the domestic circle"
 And then the beautiful part of the woman's department" I suggested, Ifs that every line of work, whether in the aesthetic of the practical Is equally well come and as well exhibited"
 "Yes," said Mrs Reid" besides the &C., complishments that are conductive to the comfort and the decoration of the home. many industrious Alabama women are establishing themselves comfortably with means of making their own pin money just from the opportunity that Is afforded them of having their work displayed at the Fair The delicious pickles, pre- serves, fruit and vegetables call for many orders that would never have Teen taken except for this. Others take orders for needle work, while the cultivation of flowers in the home Is becoming almost a vocation with many women"
 T have always been impressed with the fact that you display the work very we'll in the woman's department and show 1t off to an excellent advantage" I remarked.
 That is my aim and object" replied Mrs. Reid. And let me tell you some thing. This year the woman's depart ment is going to he more artistically ar ranged than ever before. Another thing. we are going to have a series of lessons and lectures every morning during the Fair on cooking, alarming, sewing and ev- erything of that kind. Our art display is govfng to be really magnificent and the Individual booths and their decoration will be g great feature In our display. Every woman In the state of Alabama should take personal interest in the State Fair, and point to 1t with pride. because her home has some representa- . tion there.'

Dogs in Germany.

The dachshund Is the favorite dog in Germany, and a very useful and pleasant companion he seems to be. The English bulldog is a good second in popularity and the nearer he Is to our standard points the better he is liked. says con- temporary writer The fox terrier varies a good deal In size and marking, and is evidently not so well known in Germany as he deserves to be.
 The ladies there are as fond of their little Poms and their King Charleses as are their English sisters of their pet dogs at home.
 Some few dogs in the streets are har- messed to four wheeled trucks. Usually a man and dog pull The work seemed to heavy and exhausting for the dogs which are generally mongrels of the mas tiff type. They look in fair condition and are not i'll treated.

POINT L,EYEQUE.


 Pone pEveque, though not so well known in this country, Is a fine cheese. It is of firmer consistency than the Camembert, and has characteristic, we'll ripened flavor, fully developed.
 It is moulded in rectangular shape, and is also sold whole on account of Its small size.
 In making Pont PEveque the milk is set at the usual temperature, and when the curd Is firm enough to handle it is care fully cut into rather large cubes and placed upon straw mat. As the whey separates and runs off the curd becomes firmer and the ends of the mat are brought together in such a way that a slight pressure is brought to bear on the cheese.
 When firm enough, the curd is placed in tin mould which Is placed upon straw mat. These moulds are then turned once or twice a day until the cheese Is firm. Soon mold begins to appear on the cheese, and then they are removed to damp curing room with a temperature of from 55 to 5S degrees Fahrenheit.

Ball To Settle "Who's Who"

Rank among the social elect of Chicago by an elaborate ball of the American Bankers association, at which President Taft will be the guest of honor and which will crown his entertainment here September 16 The affair will be held in the Auditorium theatre, fitted with a temporary ball room floor for the ocas-- sion, and according to the plans an nounced will rival the glories of the Prince Henry reception the charity balls of the past and other dazzling gayeties which have been held in the same room. It will be not only the largest social event in Chicago in years. but the first at which rigid rules will define who really are the social elect of Chicago.
 The ball will be preceded by ban quet which 1t is planned shall be held in the gold room of the Congress ho- tel
 Members of the Bankers association from all parts of the country, with their wives and daughters will be at the ball as the hosts A few public officials-with an emphasis on few-including foreign con- suits and federal, state and city office holders, will be invited guests as a mat ter of form. The other invited guests will be the socially elect, and 1t Is said their number will be even more limited than that of the public officials.
 Persons who are recognized as the real society leaders of Chicago will at- tend the ball, which Is to be one of the grandest ever held in the west" said one of the bankers on the executive commit tee of the convention today. "The ball room will be the largest in the city; never theless, it will be crowded, for between 1000 and 5000 persons will be present The membership of our association makes cer- tain that we will invite that number
 "We cannot invite everybody who is accustomed to attending so-called society affairs. Only a select list of outsiders meaning non-members of the association, will be bidden to they will be the true blue society personages of this part of the United States

Comparatively few years ago the sphere of woman was held to be exclusively in- side the home. most things entering into i the home life being produced or controlled within the family.
 Of more recent years progress in the art of living has brought about marked changes in this, and today the entire community life is a matter of vital inn portance to the home.
 In the rural districts where two-thirds of the population live, even more radical changes in the conditions and standards of living have occurred in recent years.
 With the rapid broadening of the home life of women has come a pressing real izatlon that the lack of education, train ing and culture means a lack of "oppor- unity" which the former brilliant Kan sas senator, James J. Ingalls,, incorpo- rated in poem which should be given a place in every home. and which among other things embodies the sentiment that fame and fortune on my footsteps wait" an idea in keeping with the one just ad- vanced as to the chance that women have nowadays to perfect themselves within their chosen vacations.
 This has been rightly termed "woman's s age,' and an appreciation of the beauti- ful things of life, education, the arts, the general upward trend Of the aesthetic as well as the practical in womans life, be- longs to her, and in it she must take the lead.
 One thing about women that Is consid- cred very commendable In their desire for success in any effort they may put forth Is "self-centeredness,' at least it is so considered by some, and yet a wise and experienced woman once said to me:
 Do not concentrate too much; make of your life a mosaic; have many inter- ests." Which In all instances does not pay, for the old theory that to be Jack of all trades and king at none'' is not conclusive to perfection in any line
 The desired opportunity for woman and her wares, within our state, was inaugu- rated several years ago by the manage ment of the Alabama State Fair sssocia- ton, and 1t was offered such advantages that the entire commonwealth in every 1 line in which women are interested antici- pates annually this exhibition with the keenest interest. There is absolutely no excuse for any woman not to have her talents appreciated and exploited, for here in her own home state every en- couragement imaginable Is held out for her ability In her chosen line, whether it

A Heating Convenience.

The woman who boards or who Is away for the summer Is often at loss to get a little hot water at short noice. There are all sorts of alcohol and electric heat CTS that can be bought at small cost, and one should never be without one of them.
 Even so. alcohol will sometimes be wanting at the vital moment. One woman solved the problem by carrying in her bag a small wire roaster, just big enough to fit over the top of a gas globe. With this at hand 1t is easy to get a cup of hot tea at short notice or to heat

Another Point of View.

q wonder what is the actual money value of these cold potatoes7" queried a skilful housekeeper, as she calmly placed them in the garbage pail. 'Whatever it Is its the price I'm going to pay for a little leisure this morning, and I think I'm making an excellent bargain, too. I should consider 1t the greatest extrav- agance to use up my energy In trying to make use of every scrap of food that comes into the house. as some women say they do. One has to pay for most things that are worth having in this world, and why shouldn't one be will ing to pay for an occasional escape from the kitchen as well as for medical treat ment that is so often made necessary by a too close confinement there?"
