Shapes.

FOR an every day wash dress, and

Tie mushroom shapes, in fancy or

taxing the form of bias lengths OF

sloppy bow over the left ear.
IN fact, quaintness is the keynote
OF all the best child millinery, and it
achieves this quality through small
ness OF shape and demure trimming.
Huge overturned shapes are put
forth for buyers who weigh size
against style, but no mother of really
good taste gives them a second
thought. For young children who have
graduated from the bonnet stage, the
tiny mushrooms with their smooth
methods of trimming are very sweet.
FOR larger girls to whom these are
not becoming, there are straight
orimmed flats, flats undulated at the
orln, crowns low and high. Compact
ribbon knots, put on in clusters at the
side or front, and perhaps rear stream
ers, simply deck a number of these.
Others have a wreath of small flowers
long worn, with perhaps a ribbon bow
IN addition. while a smart hat may
have knot OF flowers at the front and
a prim bow witt shortish ends stuck

back.

LOTIONS FOR HAIR
Some Preparations
That Keep Tresses
in Curl a0d Will
Do No Harm.

or the many preparations recon-
mended to keep the hair in curl none
is easier for amateurs to make or is
more effective, even in damp weather,
than bandoline, made from ounce
seed. 1t is harmless and keeps
straight locks in curl.
The only objection to it is that when
dry it assumes powdery aspect sug-
gestive of fine dandruff.
An old method of preparing this
toilet preservative is to add a table
spoonful of the seeds, bruised, to a
pint of soft water. Boil gently until
the quantity is reduced to three gills.
Then strain. and when cold two table
spoonfuls each of cologne and alcohol
are added. If the hair is naturally
oily one-haf a teaspoonful of powdered
alum may be added. dissolving it first
in the alcohol. For applying to the
hair small sponge is the best agent
This lotion must be put on before
using curriers'.
Another that imparts luster to the
hair is made from 11a ounces of care
fully picked gum arabic dissolved in a
gill of rose water. 1t is strained
through a muslin and a drop of ana
line dye is added.
This is put on before arranging the
hair, and acts as a bandoline as we'll
as a polish.
A third preparation would be suited
10 oily hair. 1t is composed of one
ounce OF gum arabic and half an ounce
of the granulated sugar which is
moist. These are dissolved in three
gills of hot water, and when the mix
ture is cold two ounces of alcohol are
put in, first dissolving in the latter six
grains each of bichloride of mercury
and sal ammOniac. Enough water is
then added to make a pint The mix
ture should not be used If there is the
slightest abrasion of the scalp, because
of the mercury it would be harmful
to the hair.
Preparations less sticky than any
of these may be tried sometimes with
success upon oily hair. One liked by
many persons is II grains of carbonate
of potash dissolved in half a pint of
strong tea. This should not be used
by decided blondes. 1t is applied just
before dressing the hair, which is laid
in waves and done loosely, the appli-
cation taking effect as it dries.
However harmless curling irons may
seem, they are ruination if used much.
It is undoubtedly true that once in
a while they are harmless and become
less likely to cause dryness if the
metal is warm and not hot. The
trouble is that the irons are not so eff.
fective unless the degree. of heat is
rather great, and this means an imme-
date drying of the natural oils and
consequent dullness and breakage.
The best way of attaining curls when
nature has not endowed a woman with
them is to apply one of the prepara-
lons already given, by way of moisten-
ure. and then take to the curler that
works the best.
