How to Keep White Hair White.
There is nothing more beautiful and
soft than snowy white hair, If it is
snowy, but If 1t is yellow and streaked
it is far from pretty. Some women
who have never been considered more
than passably good looking are decid
edly pretty after their hair turns
white, and for this reason, if for no
other, too much cannot be said against
dyeing ones locks. White hair is be-
coming to almost all women, and when
well groomed it is thing of lowell
ness.
Hair tonics containing glycerin are
likely to discolor the snowy strands.
Eggs make an excellent shampoo for
silver tresses, and little ordinary
wash bluing should be added to the
last water that the hair is rinsed in.
An excellent shampoo that is prefer
red by many white haired people is
made by dissolving an ordinary cake
of CASTLE soap in quart of water and
allowing 1T to boil down to pint.
When it is cool add one pint of bay
rum, one tablespoonful of borax and
thirty grains of bisulphate of quinine.
This not only is cleansing, but the
borax and quinine make 1t tonic
benefit to scalp and hair.

Carolina Langdon had never appear

How to Make Dainty Sandwiches.

If a housekeeper has grown tired of
the conventional sandwich, she should
try those made Of salmon. They are
most palatable. The salmon is faxed
and moistened with mayonnaise and
then put as a filing between two ex-
ira thin slices of brown bread with the
crust cut off. Sweet sandwiches are
also in fashion for luncheons and after
