Dyeing the Hair.

One of the impossible feats for a woman
to accomplish is to color patches OF her
hair so all will be the same shade. L
choose this subject because recently l
have received an unusual number of such
requests from correspondents and l want
them to understand why l discourage
them in any such attempt.
Every woman who has such a desire
must understand that only skilled pro-
fessional can color patches successfully.
because the effect Of dyes differs. accord
ing to the shade and quality Of the hair to
which it Is applied. The hair itself must
be seen and carefully studied by one at
tempting to match faded or gray spots.
A woman wishing to match faded dress
material would not send a few threads OF
it to a shop and expect to get what she
wanted She would send enough of q
sample to enable the clerk to get the
whole effect.
But matching hair is even more diff
ficult: that is. matching the color when
streaks have faded. because quality so
largely enters in. 1t would be useless for
a woman to send lock of her hair, de-
claring at the same time that She wanted
to make the gray the natural color, be-
cause no two patches of gray are pre-
cisely the same. And even if they were,
and proper dye were made, no amateur
could apply it with sufficient care to make
the coIored portion look other than what
it is-a patch.

STYLES OF KIMONO SLEEVES
GIVE SHARPNESS TO WAISTS
SHRED and Tucked Designs Modes Slashed
and Fitted In, With Inserts of Lace,
Embroidery or Silk in Con-
trasting Colors.

Women are beginning to complain of
the monotony of the kimono sleeve, but
really there is no necessity for mOnotony,
because there are dozens of variations
Of this popular model.
The conventional kimono sleeve is, of
course, cut in one with the waist, the
whole being known as the peasant blouse.
In sheer or medium-weight fabrics, such
as nets, silks, etc, the material is usually
tucked before being cut, while in heavier
goods. such as velvet, velveteen, corduroy
and cloths, there is no attempt at full
ness.
1t is a mistake to believe that these two
styles only are de mode. The fussy XII
mono sleeve is as fashionable as the
plain style, and SO individual taste in the
selection of sleeve pattern for new
waist may be exercised SO an old-fash-
toned blouse will pass as one of the
latest models.
Take the passe full puff elbow sleeve,
for instance. There are a dozen ways in
which this may be altered and at the
same time be up to date.
One suggestion is to slash the sleeves
their entire length down the upper part
of the arms, taking out a strip. This
must be filled in with strip OF velvet,
one with a shallow, round yoke shaped
to fit the shoulders. AT the lower edges
the sleeves should be finished with deep
cuffs.
The slashed edges of the sleeves should
be shirred down to the material inserted.
after turning them under the form head
ings, and the top Of the blouse must meet
the shallow yoke in the same way. This
model is equally attractive for new or
a renovated waist.
Another variation also working both
WAYS Is to tuck the sleeve to fit the arm
and then add the. contrasting material as
before suggested. holding down all edges
with rows of tiny buttons.
A neat tailor stitching Is the best finish
for the edges.
Adding a tiny bolero is another way OF
varying the plain waist. The body OF the
coat may be little more than shallow

in one with short. closely fitting sleeves,

be used for this style, such as the fabric

New Wall Papers.

Wall papers showing small patterns. II
any, must be selected for rooms which
are not large, because big designs on
walls dwarf the size Of the room and
make it appear even less large than it
is. Plain walls always tend to increase
an effect of space. and for that reason
fiat papers are valuable. So greatly have
these latter increased in favor in the past
few seasons that cartridge is no longer
the only style, for there a.e deep crepey
papers and others with stripes so fine
and broken that at a distance of five
feet the designs are not visible, and only
by close observation does person distin-
guish the background, for the little
stripes a. e usually in self tones and are
less than sixteenth of an inch wide.

Keep Feet Dry.

If there is any one way Of preventing
chilblains on the feet it is by keeping
these extremities dry, for cold damp
seems to make the pain worse. and even
when the affliction has not developed may
cause 1t to appear. Country folk. without
exception, who have spent all their lives
working out of doors say that there is
nothing SO cold as snow water, and while
they are willing to stand hours in dry
snow, they avoid even a little snow water
as dangerous
Poor circulation, when blood is not sent
to the extremities, may be the original
cause of chilblains, for, without full

braided or embroidered or striking piece
OF contrasting goods. as jeweled net, the
choice, Of course, depending upon the
kind of material with which ii is to be
used in combination
Heavy black etamine gauze, covered
with the small milky white beads, is
charming as trimming to a velve,
blouse.
Another idea is to cut away both waist
and sleeves from the shoulders to lower
edge of sleeves. leaving little more than
the under portion of sleeves, and Their
finish all edges with a strapping, con-
meeting them also with strapping or short
lengths of some fancy decoration. The
material showing under the straps may
be of the same goods as the waist and
tucked as relief, or 1t could, of course
be of some contrasting fabric.
One of the simpler notifications Of the
kimonO sleeve is to cut 1t long Cor, in the
case of remodeiing the tucked sleeve, to
release the tucks) and then shirr the
sleeves lengthwise and cover the thread
with a piece Of trimming. The shirrins
should continue on the waist to the point
where the yoke meets it.
When desired to make long sleeve ir
klmono effect bring the tucking down the
sleeve to cap depth and shirr to the
elbow. Then add long. deep cuffs: cut ir
one with long, tab-like straps that run
up over the shirring thread as far as
round point and piped. When the
waist is plain little coat effect will be
pretty.
If chiffon is used for development
either black, a contrasting color or the
shade of the goods should be chosen. This
material is gathered around a small yoke
and again just below the bust and is
drawn down tightly.
A fiat trimming should be the finish
on the edges.
A lingerie waist made with tucked XII
mono sleeves could be improved by the
addition of strips OF valenciennes inser-
ton run from the neckband or rather
small yoke down the entire length of the
sleeves, the material cut away under
meath and the edges of the lace finely
fea ther- stitched.
This bit of handwOrk would increase
the beauty Of the blouse.
Notwithstanding or any similar fancy
stitching applied to the top Of the tucks
covering the stitches) or placed In rows
between them is another means of vary
ing kimOno sleeves.
