COULDN'T GET 81 TO ENTHUSE
Hired Mans Remarks Could Hardly

The young lawyer, having been
nominated for the office of county at

was working as a hired man on the
young lawyers fathers farm.

But, 81, they have nominated me

"They might "a done worse, Lon
ny. Howsomever, don't holler till

; The young attorney was duly
elected, and on his next visit to the
farm announced the fact unctuously
to 81, who was at the woodpile, saw in
hand.

New Appointment Card.

One of the prettiest devices in
tended to jog the memory with regard
to appointments is a card of rough art
cardboard with a clock dial some four
inches in diameter, and clock hands,
which can be moved to point to any
hour.
This dial occurs in the center of the
card, and above it in fancy lettering
are the words: Don't forget that APP
pointment at" The time of the en-
gagement is, of course, supplied by
the hour to which the clock hands
point. The rest of the decoration is
in craftsman style, consisting of con-
ventional bay trees. The card is in
closed in an artistic frame of stained
wood, severely plain.

To brush the hair properly draw the
brush firmly, though gently, over the
scalp and down through the entire
length of the hair at each stroke, and
let the strokes follow each other in
rather rapid succession. The brush
should never be brought down on the
scalp with a quick, sharp, striking mo-
ton, as this only irritates and some
times shocks and wounds the scalp as
we'll as tangling the hair. For comb
ing out the hair after it has been
waved a coarse comb is often better
than a brush. Under no circum-
stances should the hair be combed out
by beginning at the scalp and work
ing downward. Instead divide the hair
into strands and comb each portion
separately, beginning at the end Of
the hair.

LIKE THE BRAIDED COIFFURE.
Parisians Return to Severely Simple
Styles, and the Change Will
Be Welcomed.

Whether or not the Z fcans Will
accept the severely plat .dffure now
fashionable in Paris is difficult to tell,
but every day one see less puffs, less
pompadour and less waves.
The Brittany fashion of doing up
the hair has become a fixed thing
abroad instead of fad, and women
are hailing it with glee because it will
save them the trouble of curling the
hair during the warm months.
1t does not require more OF ones
own hair than have the coiffures of
the last two years. Braids are need
ed. They may be real or bought. one
Or two of them are laid around the
head, pulled out TO their widest dl-
mansions and caught down with shell
pins.
There is a fluff of hair between the
braids and the skin which makes for
some softness.
Just above the braid at the back a
wide. fiat comb is tucked in the hair
This is usually of shell or of cut jet

HINTS REGARDING THE HAIR.
Tresses Require Constant Care II
Beauty Is to Be Preserved
for Any Length of Time.

"Black hair is so rare beauty that
the girl who possesses it should be
careful to keep it satin smooth and
free from dust by the frequent stro-
kings with a velvet bristled brush &C.
casionally moistened ever so slightly
with olive oil.
Brown hair so soon fades and turns
gray that its rich, deep shades are
only to be preserved by constant vigil
lance. One method of keeping it beau
tiful is to occasionally rub upon the
scalp and locks a very little sour milk,
allowing it to remain for few mo-
ments and then washing it out with
warm water.
Blonde hair should be washed with
CASTLE soap and water, then thorough
ly dried in the sunshine whenever pos
sible, as that helps to preserve the
golden shades. Any preparation con-
tanning ammonia is apt to fade light
hair and to give it an ashen tinge,
while peroxide of hydrogen rinsings
will bleach it so gradually that before
a girl realizes what is happening she
will find herself the possessor of far
more silver than golden locks"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

corks are sound and will not allow the
LIQUIDS to pour through. Then cut
small pieces of thin, pliable wire.

To Cleanse the Hair.

Sometimes, especially if away from

When this is the case, try this method
Of freshening it instead. Take a piece
of lemon and rub it well into the

thoroughly with a clean, not too hard,
brush. This treatment does not make
the hair at all sticky. but makes it

MONDAY, sEpTEMBER ls. 1909.

Because The Advertiser boasted that Montgomery has the finest buttermilk ana water on earth, The Charleston News and Courier would like to know how much alcohol the water and milk contains" It Is not possible for a charisstonian to imagine anything good to drink without alcohol in u' Montgomery water comes up out of the earth and doesn't need to have any alcohol to make 1t good to drink. As to the buttermilk-well, our cows arc teetotailers and drink nothing but inc pure water that comes to them from Natures own distillery; conse- auentIv the buttermilk is as good as 4he water. to those who like that kind of milk. If The News and Courier man will come over he will find that it IS not only possible but refreshing to drink water without any addition to it. If he wll come over and bring with him a bottle of the right kind of stun, and add Montgomery water fee and mint, with a proper quantity of sugar he will have drink fit for the gods or the goddesses, and make him feel that Charleston is an unde- sirable spot. How about it?
