Care of Hair.

Because some hair comes out every
time a brush or comb is used a woman
need not think she is losing too much,
for there is a constant natural amount
Of shedding going on, just as is notice.

over. by observation OF the ends any
one may determine whether it is natu-
raj or an unhealthy fall" as It were.
Healthy new hair is pointed at the tips.
1t would take a magnifying glass, OF
course, to know this exactly, but by con-
trast with unhealthy tips the difference
Is readily recognized. Hair which is old
and has lived it's time is split or dried at
the tips. When the latter condition seems
to prevail generally all should be singed
or clipped, for in this way many may
be saved.
Ends once split will not heal, nor will
such hairs grow unless treated. 1t is pre-
cisely like a tree which begins to die at
the end Of a branch. If that dead or dy-
ing section is cut off the branch will be-
gin to flourish vigorously, always grant.
ing that other conditions are not against
1t. The same is true OF hair.
When singed an invisible bleeding
through seach tube is stopped, and nour-
ishment thus retained begins to make u
self felt by improved appearance OF the
locks.
Some hair dressers declare that once IN
six months is enough to SINCE ! am
firmly Of the opinion that 1t should pe
done every time the ends, when the hair
is lifted by handfuls. generally are split
Going through this process too OFTEN Is
scarcely likely.
When a woman finds her brush or comb
after using has more than few loose
hairs in 1t she may know that her scalp
requires a tonic, and IL much is coming
out it is probable that her general health
Is below par.
Almost before any other part of the
body, the hair indicates heal or Illness
and in the latter case Will usually be thin
and dried.
But before any woman need be anxious
as to her general health external treat
ment should be given to the scalp, which,
as / have said previously. may respond.
One point to be borne In mind always WAYS is Is
waste its nourishing oils, so whens the
hair is depleted repairs must be made
Immediately. and clipping or singeing
may be sufficient.

Sewing Helps.

In sewing very sheer lawns or light
weight silks, &c they gather under the
machine foot, slip piece of newspaper
under the goods and sew through 1t, too.
and the gathering will cease. The paper
is easily removed and leaves no trace.
Mothers know what trouble it is to
have buttons pulling off and tearing a
hole in the garment, and to have button
holes tear out. for they are hard to re-
pair. If two or four extra thicknesses of
the goods be put into bands or hens
where the strain comes on buttons or
buttonholes, it will usually prevent the
used in sewing on buttons and working
butonholes, will usually prevent the
tearing out and save much work and an
noyance.
If hens of muslin, calico, lawn or ging-
ham be turned and pressed with an iron
it saves the work OF bastins and is just
as satisfactory.

APPROPRIATE PRESENTS
FOR YOUNG BRIDES
Personal Gifts, Such as Table and Bed

her parents, may take such privilege at
the time of her marriage. Thus q woman
who has always known the brides mother
and has regarded the young girl almost
as a relative may send her small table
silver or house linen But when such a
personal gift is provided 1t Is with the
permission Of the parents and of the girl
herself. And a woman, wishing to give
such presents, asks frankly II she may.
Did she not do this the result might be
two complete sets Of house linen, one
from the family and the other from the
friend
A man friend Of the fathers, who is as
an uncle to the bride, may give her . set
Of furniture or small silver, etc, but he,
too, must obtain permission.
. 1t Is not an uncommon act for a woman
who. has always known the bride and
who may have no children of her own to
ask if she may give the trousseau. Such
request from one who has been like q
second mother to the girl Is correct, when
from a stranger 1t would not be per
mitted. ROSANNA SCHUYLER.

It is not good form for any but mem
bers of the brides family to give her
personal wedding gifts. The sole excep-
ton to this is when jewels are presented.
And of course any friend may send
jewelry, but the brides who have friends
sufficiently wealthy to do this are few and
do not come within the scope of this
article.
According to etiquette. the bride or her
immediate family provide everything re-
quired for the new home she is to- possess.
That any other individual should send
any such article would imply either
Ignorance on the part of the sender or
that the giver believed the brides family
unable to provide for her properly.
Yet here, as In everything else, there
are exceptions. Any old friend Of the
family. man or woman who has always
known the bride and been a friend OF

Yelled Jewels.

The yelled effects which have been
popular this summer have been extend
ed to the yelling of jewels. 1t is the latest
fad in London to wear all the pendants
and brooches of precious stones that one
can muster and then hide their glitter
under veil OF chiffon or linon so that
they appear as a glowing part Of the
underdress.
The oriental embroideries and garni-
tures which were used In the early spring
nave reappeared also with this yelled
erect. and they. are very beautiful when
their eastern vividness OF color is partly
obscured by veilings of dark blue, In
definite mole Or gray.
Gowns Of gold or silver tissue or trim
med with broad gold or silver embroid-
cries are yelled with chiffons and yoiles.
Even valuable old lace trimmings on
evening gowns are only suggested. for
they, too. are partly covered by thin veil

arrangement Of the colors. She may
make a trip back to the store for the
purpose Of inspecting a sample finished
piece. but only to find that the latter has
been sold.
One very simple, inexpensive and prac-
teal way to overcome circumstances Of
this kind is for her, as soon as she buys
the stamped article and the silk. to take
crayons or corresponding colors and mark
the different portions Of the stamped pat
tern to correspond with the finished

The white of raw egg is the most sat-

also useful for mending glass or china Or

that cement should do this. and white
