Treatment for Hair
in Cold Weather

If women would remember that cold
weather dries the hair and makes it un-
manageable they might be able to treat
the scalp so the tresses would be healthy
and could be colcd into pretty coiffures
Water, while it is efficacious as an eX-
ternal applica tion, sometimes does more
harm than good by increasing the stiff
ness of the hair as the liquid dries out.
AS a matter of fact when each hair
seems possessed to stand on end. only
brushing and the application OF some
mixture that contains oil is effective.
Oils. besides neutralizins the condition
of dryness and making the hair easier to
handle has the added virtue of tonic prop

tonic of this kind that has been used
for several generations by one family is
made from sixteen ounces OF pure cologne
and two ounces of castor oil. Ear from
being greasy or unpleasant, this mixture
is easily put on and has AN agreeable
odor.
Containing less OIL but stronger in tonic
properties, is a combination of four ounces
of cologne. half an ounce OF tlncture OF
canthardes, a quarter of a dram each of
oils Of lavender and rosemary. The best
way of applying either of these is to make
many parts, close together on the scalp,
and rub the liquid into each. using either
the finger tips or a small brush.
Ii the hair is extremely dry the applca
ton may be used every day, but in many
cases every other day is sufficient. Too
much of the tonic will make the hair
heavy with grease and altogether unman-
ageable.

hard i'll texture, "A stimulating mixture to

While the empire and directoire styles
continue in favor, there are certain
changes that must be apparent to the
most casual observer, and these augur
well for a continued run of popularity. as
all the notifications and changes Of de-
tail are planned to bring the gowns of
these periods into such shape as will
prove practical for general year and make
them entirely becoming to the average
woman.
Sometimes this effect is achieved by
combining a little of the empire with
much OF the directoire. Again, the con-
ditions will be reversed
In the first place the exaggerated high
waist line has entirely disappeared. The
newest length shows only an inch or so
of skirt above the waist in the front and
perhaps two in the back, SO that the
straight line is modified to one that dips
toward the front. a style much more gen.
orally becoming because Of its grace. Few
women could wear the straight, nigh
waist line.
Another detail that is an Improvement is
the elimination Of the sash, an accessory
that was trying to many.
The skirt today may be simply piped,
or a narrow band of trimming may be
the finish. If sash ends are desired in
the front. these may be always introduced
by carrying the effect up onto the bodice.
AS 1t is usually the stout woman who
objects to the SASH around the waist. she
will find the long line from bust or shout
ders very kind.
Skirts for empire. directoire and prin-
cess gowns are all cut on much the same
principle.
The foundation is u princess lining, and
on this is mounted the plain skirt. This
lining should be cut to fit up to the neck
and below the hips. All cutting away
can be done after the ,draping is done
If the gown is to be princess in effect. the
material should run up to the line of the
bust.
The directoire and the empire skirt stop
at the waist line and may be left per-
fectly plain. If trimmed. the empire is
