HOW TO CARE FOR HAIR
DURING WINTER WEATHER

The girl who has too much electricity
i'm her hair will find difficulty in arrang-
ing a pretty couture in winter because
the tresses VIII not stay in place.
Water is useless to keep the unruly
locks smooth, because, while it holds the
hair for five minutes, as soon as it evapo-
rates the locks are left in a dryer condi-
ton than they We're before, and are more
difficult to manage Therefore nothing
but an oily liquid will be effective and il
only little oil is put on there need be
no fear of the head appearing greasy.
The simplest mixture l know of for
this purpose is a tablespoonful of glycer-
in to hair a pint of water. adding about
fifteen drops of tincture of benzoin to
prevent it from becoming rancid. few
drops of the lotion are put into the left
hand, then the right palm is rubbed into
it and both are gently patted over the
hair after the tangles have been remov-
ed. Special attention must be given to
the hair about the temples and above
the ears. If too much of the liquid is

Fads for Women.

Probably the most popular jabot of
the moment is the "One-sided,'' as it Is
called. 1t fills the open space above
the spot where the average coat is
closed, yet is not fussy.
A new idea in one-sided effects is a cas-
cade of net edged with narrow cluny
lace. while strip of cluny insertion is
placed under one edge of the cascade ard
caught to ii.
another novelty is a jabot in cascade
effect as far as the bust line. From there
it extends to a double frill at the belt.
At the top it is finished with a net bow
Yet another is a net frill edged with
lace and sewed to a strip OF insertion.
Judging from the variety and the num-
Der of separate waists in attractive styles
seen in the stores just now, the one
piece gown hasn't a monopoly in the
wardrobe of the well dressed woman this
year.
Every kind OF fabric is represented in
the development of these waists-lingerie.

Low Tides Cause of Trouble on the

The low tides caused by the heavy
northwest winds of yesterday prevented
the river steamers from making Il num-

the Potomac on their schedules, but II
is thought that they will be able TO make
them on the up trip today. The low tides
and winds also kept ice from making,

Plum Pudding.

Take one pound of finely chopped beef
suet. one pound of stoned raisins, one
pound currants. weighed after they have
been cleaned and sorted: one pound of
finely grated bread crumbs, two chopped
apples two ounces of minced orange and
lemon peel, the same quantity of thinly
sliced citron, one ounce of chopped al
monds. a teaspoonful each of ground Gin
namon, ground ginger. grated nutmeg
and salt and three ounces of finely sifted
flour. Mix these ingredients together
thoroughly
Then beat four eggs with half a pound
Of brown sugar: add two wineglassfuls
Of brandy and half teaspoonful of milk,
and combine with the other mixture. If
too stiff thin by adding a little more
brandy or milk; if too moist add more
bread crumbs Beat this mass together
for several minutes. using Il wooden
spoon for the purpose.
In the meantime prepare pudding bag

fore using it dip in boiling water. then
into cold water. wiring dry, dredge 1t with
flour and. when the pudding mixture has
been poured into the center of the cloth,
draw the ends together. tie them securely
at the top, leaving sufficient room FOR
the pudding to SWEET.
The water in which the pudding is to
be cooked must boil rapidly when the
mixture is put into il. The bag should
then be moved about several times to
facilitate saturation after which the pot
should be covered and the pudding left
to boil for about five hours. During this
time 1t will not be necessary to disturb
the pudding, except to see that the water
does not boil out SO much that 1t falls
below the top Of the bag. To prevent
this keep a kettle of boiling water to
add as required.
When done remove the bag from the
pot and let it stand for a few minutes to
dry before attempting to release the pud-
ding. Serve with a hard sauce composed
of sugar and butter seasoned with brandy
or with a soft sauce made as follows:
Put the yolks of four eggs in double
boiler with two ounces Of sugar, a wine
glassful of brandy or sherry, suggestion
Of salt and the juice and grated rind Of
half q lemon. Whisk these ingredients
about until they are thoroughly blended
and have commenced to thicken. 1t is
then ready to serve.

Millinery Notes.

Just now it is in the millinery world
that the most striking effects are seen.
and huge hats. turbans and BUSHES of
beaver, velvet and fur are all the fashion.
The "Cossack'' and Turkish turbans
seem the most popular, the former
brought into favor by the craze for things
Russian which has possessed us of late,
more particularly since the tsar and his
beautiful consort visited this country. The

seen in a variety of forms. as each maker
seems to give his or her own particular
roll or curve to the brim. so that no two
are quite alike. The favorite form of
trimmings in millinery is duh gold and
silver trimming or braid worked into all
sorts OF weird shapes and ornaments.

with wet brush will quickly neutralize
the grease.
This mixture is not to be regarded as a
tonic for 1t does not reach the scalp.
IL one can get on a sufficiently small
quantity of white vaseline 1t is excellent
to keep the hair manageable. The only
trouble is that an inexperienced person
is likely to use too much and SO the
locks will be sticky and heavy. If the
grease is applied it should be rubbed on
the palms as is the liquid.
When there IS tendency to electricity
celluloid comb is better than one of
rubber. l do not know why this should
be SO. unless celluloid may absorb cleo
tricity while rubber is a non-cOnductor
and SO that which is generated Is thrown
back into the hair. But Of the superior
ity of one over the other there is no
doubt.
The application to the scalp OF tonic
containing grease will be the best means
of getting rid OF electricity. This tonic
should be rubbed on with the finger tips,
parting the hair in close divisions, 20 all
pores may be reached.

atrship that has been seen by many per-
sons over various parts OF Massachusetts,
with searchlight throwing a glare
ahead and red lamps at the rear, was
seen again last night sailing about over
