OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

The mother Of several children. all old
enough to attend school. l gather from
her letter. is in despair over the condition
of their hair. The children have fallen
victims to Yermin, not once, but several
times, and the condition has remained
undiscovered till 1t was actually terri
flying.
have learned since I received this de-
spairing letter that the case is not at all
uncommon, because the medical examin-
ers on school boards havefrecommended
crude petroleum, which was tried in this
particular case without satisfactory re-
suits. 4 chemist to whom appealed for
a remedy told me that while crude petro-
leum was death to insects, II did not kill
the eggs deposited upon the hair, and it
was an awful remedy even II II would do
the work thoroughly.
Here Is a remdy he has given me for
publication: Mix tincture OF larkspur,
which is poisonous, but safe for external
use with an equal quantity OF sharp
vinegar, and moisten hair and scalp thor

This will not only kill the vermin, but
dissolve the eggs, and It is comparatively
easy to use.
It is no disgrace to get bugs OF any
kind, but Il is distinctly disgraceful to

When Using a Plisse.
Iladelphia I'D American.

From the Philadelphia North American,
The pleated frill down the front OF
shirt waist may be fastened on most
effectively under five seaIlops which lap
from right to left.
Each scallop is finished along its edge
with smaller buttonholed scallops, and
the center front is covered with floral
design just within the scallops.
The pleated frill is also scalloped to
match. and may be fastened securely
to the scal1oped edge of the shirt waist;
or else TO the plain edge by buttons and
buttonholes. SO that it is removable for
laundering
This last Is most servieeable method,
and IS more graceful IN appearance, since
the five loose scallops lie easily upon the
plsse and are less stiff than If they were
sewed fast.

The panel effect, which Is one OF ths

The Seaside Chair.

From the New York Times.
Have you seen the wicker seaside chair
with canopy top and side like a huge
conch shell? 1t forms the greatest pro-
lection from the winds and shields the
eyes and complexion from the glare OF
the sun
These chairs are being used by women
who have taken up the fresh-air cure at
home. When used on a porch or in the
back yard one can sit in ali sorts Of
weather short of a hard rain and not feel
cold air blowing down the back of the
neck. And it is not necessary 10 bother
about shade
For strong sunlight a sort Of awning
extension can be added to the top IN

Silk and Rama.

From the Philadelphia North American.
The best Of the rsffia bags for shopping
and fancy work show harmony of color.
Silk. which is the bag proper, is chosen
TO match the shade of the raffia net
work which covers It. And here let there
be added a suggestion against reversing
this process. Raff1a may be bought In a
moderate number of colors only. and
great matching difficulties may be obvi-
ated by,th purchasing of the raffia first.
The netting of the raffia covering has
become an art, and choice patterns
are produced upon the bottom and ex-
tending UP the sides to join an equally
beautiful woven handle.

DUAL MEET ARRANGED.
Georgetown Props to Meet Baltimore
City College April 80.

ARRANGEMENTS nave Deen MADE between
Manager McCato of the field and track
department of Baltimore City College and
Manager McMullen of the same depart
ment Of the Georgetown Prep School for
the holding of q dual outdoor field and
track meet in Baltimore Saturday. May
30. The match IS the result or the rivalry
which was created between these two
schools at the interscholastic meet held
locally last spring. Since then the two
institutions have met many times in ath-
letic contests, and every indication Is
that the coming affair will mark the be-
ginning OF an annual institution between
them.
The Baltimore management Will provide
a field on which to hold the contests and
will also attend to the medals and tro-
phies. The officials and other arrange
ments including the selection of events
to be programmed will be attended to by
a joint committee from the two schools:
In the absence Of Capt Dahill of the
Blue and Gray squad, Manager McMnIien
has issued a call for candidates Tor the
team to report on the outdoor running
track at Georgetown tomorrow after
noon He expects that as many as TWEEN
ty men win be on hand, and he has hopes
of securing Coach Foley of the varsity
to assist in conditioning the youngsters.
Foley has few varsity men In training
at present and also a large squad OF Cen
trail High School speed artists. AS the
three teams will use the Hilltoppers' run
ming track the rest Of the year. that
stretch promises to be busy place.
AS soon as Capt. Dahill returns to school
a systematic selection Of the men to COM
pete in each event will be made. AS was
proven during the indoor campaign. the
props are pretty well fixed in the way or
material, and there Is no doubt that the
team which they send to Baltimore will
be a representative one IN every way.
Whether or not Manager McMullen will
hold the contemplated outdoor open scho-
lastio meet this spring in view Of recent
Developments is awaiting further consid-
Grafton by the executive council of the
athletic association Of the school. Last
season this affair proved a big success
artistically, but was a money loser on
account of inclenent weather. II means
for insuring the financing of the event
can be insured there is no doubt that
1t will come off as originally scheduled.

inability to hit, coupled with their miser-
able fielding in a couple Of innings, the
Navy base ball team went down to defeat
before the University Of Pennsylvania here
today by the overwhelming score OF 10
to % Il
The victory OF the Quakers was in the
main due to the effective pitching of
Shultz. who maintained remarkable con-
troll throughout the whole game. He al
lowed the Middies but three scattered
hits. retired twelve batsmen on strikes
and did not give a single free pass.
The Middles fought with determination,

On the other hand. the Varsity lads did
some very timely batting, and taking full
advantage OF the several errors of the
Lanphier, one OF Nays regular pitchers
first time this year in a regular game. He
was a little wild, and gave way to Sci
bert, left handler. In the third session.
But the Quakers also took kindly to the
curves OF the new man and not until the
seventh inning. when Seibert gave way to
Anderson. the big southpaw was the run
getting OF the visitors checked. On the
whole the fielding OF the Middies was the
poorest Of the season. Although the
Quakess started the scoring in the second
session, 1t was the series OF cleverIy ex-
ecuted hunts that sent the local players
up in the air. Three errors were made in
