ANY WOMAN CAN HAVE BEAuTi'
Full HAIR.

(From French Beauty Monthly
mo woman should use water upon
her hair oftener than once In two
months" says M. Fournier, the noted
French scientist. DRY powder only
should be used. Moisture causes the
hair to lose its color and in time be-
come thin.
ANY woman desiring abundant, lus-
trous hair should use dry shampoo
every two or three days. Mix four
ounces OF powdered orris root with four
ounces OF therox. Sprinkle about a
tablespoonful of this mixture upon the
head; then brush the powder thor.

lustrous. You will soon see new hair
starting to grow. This treatment Is the
only thing that am sure will produce
a growth of hair.
while plain orris root Is used as

such results can be obtained as by

derbilts. To be under the shadow of
the divorce court is the fate of more
than half the children that have al
ready been born of the Vanderbilt
unions. In fact, they are all exposed
to this malady and its results more or
less directly, as other children are ex.
posed to the measles and the whoop-
ing cough. Whether IL takes" or not
in their own immediate families. there
are those who believe that there are
none of the Vanderbilt families but
even II 1t never drops divorce is al
ways a sword of Damocles hanging
over the heads of the most devoted OF
them.
At present there are five Vanderbilt
children of the younger generation
whose fathers and mothers have en-.
joyed immunity from the divorce
courts and who have only come In
contact with 1t second hand.
There are also just five who through
no fault of their own are short on IA
TIERS" and who. getting along with
one parent. are left to puzzle their
baby heads as best they can over
what has become of the other. Whether
this shortage will Increase into q
multiplicity of fathers and mothers by
each parent marrying again is the
question which Is now occupying
those who are close. enough to see the
motions of that part OF the Vanderbilt
family which are separated.

the uuCneSS OF MdTlDOTOuRn from Inc
duke is only natural with the example
set by their own father and mother is
conceded. 1t was only a short time
after her own marriage that the
duchess of Marlborough had the op-
portunity to exercise all her diplomacy
from the embarrassing habit which
her own father and mother formed of
marrying again, and 1t was noticed
that she was quite equal to the occa-
sion.
Her father ..>Willie X. Sr., was mar
ried to Mrs. Rutherford in London,
and the duchess was present. After
the ceremony she kissed her father
and wished him happiness, and she
has always been on friendly terms
with his new wife. She has also been
on the most affectionate terms with
her own mother, who married o. H.
p. Belmont Immediately after the d.
vorce.
1t was not SO long after this >that,
everybody was shocked with the news
that the duke and duchess could no
longer live together-or would no
longer.
Terms Favorable to the Duke.
Under the arrangements of the sep
aration settlement the children were
to be with their father a small part Of
tho time, and most Of the time with
their mother But under the English
plan the duchess could not live at
Blenheim, the home of the Marlbor-
oughs. but had to content herself with
the beautiful town house presented to
| her by her father. That the duke
looks crusty and unamiable is the
opinion of many Americans who have
seen him, and tourists who have Wis
tied Blenheim have resented the sight
of this small lordling (small In stature
at least) riding horseback over his es-
tate. which had been enriched by his
wife's money while its gates were
closed to his wife.
Now II Is thought that reconcilia-
ton may be accomplished by the
duchess father, and, apropos of this.
the latter has made a remark which Is
considered funny when his own matri-
monial experiences are remembered.
This nonsense Of separation has
gone far enough" he said. To try to
force the pair to live together again.
he is reported to be cutting on part
of the allowances that he makes to
both the duke and the duchess. He
has allowed the duke $4,000 year
since the separation, and the duke
soon declared that he could hardly
keep up Blenheim on II so that 1t
wouldn't go actually to pieces.
Duchess Lends a Helping Hand.
To help him out the duchess re-
lieved him of the support OF the two
children. paying for 1t out Of her al
| lowance. In the meantime 1t seems to
those who look at the beautiful por-
traits Of these children that they both
look out on the mix-up which sep
arates their father and mother with
wondering eyes.

| OF Blandford cannot be cheated out OF

concerned, although the fortune that
