SUMMER IRONING DAY

When you iron shirt waists, one
piece dresses and articles liable to
crush on the clothes rack, make a
number of tubes with newspapers, tie
with stout strings and slip the blouse
or dress on these holders and hang
them on nail or convenient hook,
Once dry they will not crush so easily
and can be hung in the closet on these
holders. Mailing tubes are the best for
the purpose, but an old magazine or
two papers rolled tightly together
answer the purpose. Do not hang
ironed towels over each other, for they
will not be smooth if packed while still
damp. Hang mems shirts by the lower
portion, exposing the bosom. neckband
and cuffs to dry. Petticoats should be
folded but once and hung up to dry
around the waistband, which retains
some dampness. Handkerchiefs and
starched collars should be laid upon
paper or napkins near the fire to dry,
or in the sunshine. A slight scorch
will disappear if the article is placed
in the strong sunlight. Iron lace waists
upon the wrong side and when dry,
fold the waists and cover with old
pieces of sheets or wrap in paper. The
best plan is to save all shirt waist
boxes for the purpose and keep them
filled with tissue paper A packed
shirt waist is prettier than one that
hangs Imply in the closet to accumu-
late dust each day.

HOUSE A WOMAN BUILT

Miss. Lille M. Johnson of North
Fiphteenth street. Kansas City, KAN,
built the nine-room house in which she
now lives. Miss Johnson began work
on her house in the fall, following the
bie food in the Haw valley of 1903. she
was a Salvation Army worker in Ar
mourdale at the time of the flood. She
lost everything except 81. She went to a
real estate firm and arranged TO BUY on
payments the 100 feet of ground on
which her house stands.
In May 1904, Miss Johnson built a
two-room house, doing all the work
herself and getting the lumber on pay
ments. She received two women board
ers and by July she was able to buy
cow. She began taking in washing
Through these various means she was
able to meet the necessary payments
on her lot.
Rut Miss Johnson was not satisfied
she desired to enlarge her house. She
graded her lot with spade and wheel
barrow. laid the foundation, put up the
frames, boxed and weatherboarded the
addition. She has finished the entire in
terror of the house, laying the floors,
lathing, plastering and papering the
walls.
The grounds about the place are we'll
kept. A large grape arbor fruit trees
and flower beds with the bluegrass
lawn make the place attractive.
"How did 1 learn to do carpenter
work? Why, / just found could do
the work and determined to try my
hand at something BETTER" Miss john
son said. 81 believe no passerby would
know that a woman built it."-Kansas

LONDON LEARNS TO FRIvoL

at is a common cause of complaint
against English people. and English
men in particular. that they cannot let
themselves go, or. in other words. that
they cannot frivol and play the fool :
says the Lady's Pictorial. There is
nothing so good for the individuars
spirits and the nations gayety as to
be childish on occasion and foolishly
young.
ION the continent they consider the
best means to this end is to don domi-
noes and false noses and blow penny
trumpets, dance in the open air and
so on. In England we do none of
these things and, SO we are told, more
the pity.
desperate efforts are now being
made to correct this mistake on our
part. London is now gay city; we
are making the most of our restau-
rants, the cafe is creeping into favor,
we are no longer so chary about deco
rating our houses and making brave
show when we get a chance of or
ganizing procession.
There are signs and tokens that the
carnival spirit hovers over us. The
artists. fancy ball idea has been
warmly taken up, the roller skating
carnival at Olympia. to which none
are admitted who are not in fancy
dress, has found favor in the sight OF
the public, and this year the restau-
rants made merry at ,Mardi Gras din
ners.
"By all means let us make more OF
Shrove Tuesday. 1t is day for frivol-
ing across the channel. Let us frivol
here. We have seen how the Christ
mas parties organized by foreign man
ayers of our big hotels are enjoyed by
the stolid English, and without DOUBT
II we are shown how to keep Shrove
Tuesday in continental fashion we
shall not now be slow to enter into its
spirit. We are learning the pleasures
and ignoring the Stiffness and child
ishness OF dressing up we are discov-
ering the art of frivoling."

STAGE LESSONS

The stage is the most successful pop
ular teacher of morals, in the opinion
of Jane Adams, who delivered a Sun
day address recently to Sinai Temple,
Chicago, in the absence of DR.. Emil G.
Hirsch.
1t was Miss Adams contention that
there is a lack of spiritual teaching of
the children up to the age of 10, which
is producing an undesirable trend in
national life. At that age. she asserted,
the mind of the child is receptive and
pliable, while it is more difficult to
teach an adult.
"The plays presented are often poor
and flimsy." she said, but there are at
least a dozen of them on the stage to-
day which could easily be made the
subject Of sociological lectures"

SIMPLE LUNCHEON MENU

For a course luncheon serve the oys-
ters first either with cocktail sauce or
on oyster plates with cracked ice and
quarters of lemon. Follow with tho
crouuettes, with which are served the
French peas and potato balls. not
mashed. Have the next course a salad,
with which waters are served. Small.
hot. buttered biscuits may go with the
croquettes and crackers with the oys-
ters Have olives, pickles, etc, on the
table in glass nappies, and the slices of
bread already in the folded napkin at
each plate, with more ready to be
passed occasionally.
After the salad serve any ices or fruit
jellies and cake, either loaf, layer or
small fancy ones. Chocolate, frothed.
with the cream whipped on top, is more
appropriate than coffee. and sweet bis
cults may be served with this.

ANNOUNCING THE ENGAGEMENT

1t is a pretty fashion, this of calling
together the friends, the relatives and
immediate intimates of the ''twc
nouncing the engagement" of Phyllis
and Strephon.
Many ways suggest themselves tc
make this almost as memorable as the
binding ceremony of the wedding it.
self. Where there Is a very large circle
of acquaintance many mothers pre-
fer sending a line to the society col
umns of their favorite paper with the
addenda that 1.-The wedding will be-
such and such time.
But the sweet way Is for the pros
pective bride to invite, or have her
mother or sister, or perhaps her most
intimate "chum," invite a select few to
an informal luncheon. The blushine
girl wears, perhaps for the first time
where 1t can be seen, the badge of her
troth to the man she has chosen;
true-love knots of rose-colored ribbon
decorate the place cards, with cooling
and billing love birds" depicted by
some skillful pen. There is a scent OF
romance In the air; the viands are all
symbolic: there are hearts every
where: Cupid poises with bow and ar
row in full view; sweet lines from love
songs are quoted on the menu cards
and every one present feels the expec-
tant instinct of important news"
After the dessert is placed upon the
table the waitress or man may bring
in salver upon which is a sealed en-
velope, one that has been secured from

ment: she excuses herself, opens 1t and

Or glasses may be filled with wine OF

hostess rises, asks the attention OF
those present. and that all drink to the
health, wealth and happiness for the
engaged couple, naming them.

| HHE Door woman who is cursed with
red hair is destined to so many
Il misunderstanding and to such
open criticism that whatever she wears
she will be more or less in trouble with
the more fortunate brunettes and
blondes A womans hair, as we all
know, is her glory, but the glory of red
hair is an ambiguous one.
We women, although we do the best
we can to keep ourssecrets to ourselves,
are not always able to do so. From
childhood 1 have struggled with this
problen-how to find becoming shades
that would assimilate with my red hair.
Those of us who are cursed as | am

culties
In babyhood I was smothered in blue.
But this is an experience that every
red-headed baby has had to endure.
First it was baby blue, as | grew up
baby blue grew darker and it was
varied in it's shades. In the days when
[ was very young the fashions were not
so complex as they are today. Ii was
much easier to conform to the style
then than it is now.
We nave reached III ILLS lHShtloIii

have never dared to defy the original
artist. But 1 will admit it has been the
strenuous endeavor of my life to over

Women with red hair cannot wear
any primal colors. This is so obvious
fact to any red-headed woman that 1t
scarcely needs expression, but we GO
not all give the same care to the SUD

have found that unless we apply the
utmost care to match, this Is to wear
only the colors that will blend and to
the best advantage display red hair,
that it requires some knowledge OF art,
a keen decorative sense and a clear self
sacrifice, in some instances.
Artists of the impressionistic school
seem to have particularly favored
women with red hair, but owing TO
modern idea, that red-headed women
are changeable and unreasonably i'm

DON'T BE BALD
One OF Our Readers Tells How She OBJ
tanned q Marvellous Growth of New
Hair by the Use of Simple Heme
Remedy After Hair Specialists
and Tonics Had All Failed

I had what most people would call
beautiful head of golden hair, prlzeo
it most highly, as l considered 1t my
chief attraction. Suddenly it began to
come out very rapidly, and at times
had intense itching of the scalp. Phy-
sicians and hair specialists said my case
was one of dandruff germs. hair MI
crobes ETC.. but nothing that they gave
me did the slightest good. On the con-
trary, my hair seemed to come out even
faster, and l was now fearful lest
should become entirely bald. In my
despair a friend told me of an Ecuador
herb which he said would positively
grow hair on any head where the halr
roots were not entirely gone, and ne
said the natives of the country where
it grew were famous for their beautiful
long hair. Upon medical advice COM
bined this herb with Bay Rum and
Menthol Crystals and Immediately be-
gan it's use. In three applications 1T
entirely stopped the intense itching of
my scalp and in very short time II
not only stopped my falling hair, but
noticed an abundance of new hair COM
ing in. In less than one month my hair
was longer, thicker and more beautiful
than ever. All due to this marvellous
hair growing herb. A lady to whom
gave the formula used 1t on her daugh-
ter, and she says 1t made her hair grow
five inches in less than month. Doc
tors to whom / have shown 1t say it is
the only thing which will actually grow
new hair therefore / think the public
ought to have it. At first I thought /
would keep 1t a secret and sell the Sc
cret, but when l think how l suffered
and how badly I needed it, and how
hundreds of others must need 1t the
same as 1 did, I feel l ought to give 1t
to the world.
Therefore, I authorize this paper to
publish the formula, which is as fol-
lows: Bay Rum OF. Lavona de Com
posee OF. Menthol Crystals DIR. To-
Kalon Perfume one to two teaspoonfuls.
Ask your druggist for an s OF. bottle
containing 6 OF. of Bay Rum, then put
in the Menthol Crystals and the Per-
fume. Next add one-half of the bottle
of Lavona de Compose, let it stand six
to eight hours and add the remainder
of the Lavona de Compose. Always
buy the Lavona de Compose in a two
o. sealed bottle, as this preparation
contains the juice of the Ecuador herb
mentioned above, and 1t loses it's
strength If unsealed
Apply the preparation night and
morning and rub we'll into the scalp. If
properly used 1t will soon produce most
astonishing results. Be careful not to
get it on the face or any part of the
body where you do not want to produce
hair.
