SAGE FOR DARKENING THEFT
 HAIR.

There is nothing new about the idea ol using sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our great-grandmothers Kept tnelr locks soft, dark and glossy by using . .sage tea.'' Whenever their hair fell out or took on q dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, they made brew of cage leaves and applied it to their hair with wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old-time. tiresome method of gathering the herbs and making the brew. This is done by skillful chemists better than we could dc 5t ourselves. and all we have to do is to call for the ready made product. Wyetns Sage and Sulphur, containing sage in the proper strength, with the addition ol Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy. This preparation is sold by all first-ciass druggists for 5Oc. and $1.00 bottle. or is sent direct by the Wyetb Chemical Company, "A Cortlandt St., New TOTE City, upon receipt of price.
 For sale and recommended by Lee & Osgood.

Fall Garden Hints.

KrOW is the time to take in ge-
IN raniums intended for winter
blooming. Those that are intended for
planting next spring should be hung
with their roots free from soil in a
moderate temperature. When ready for
planting in the spring cut back to
within a few inches of the roots. Tu-
berous begonias should now be put In
the cellar in boxes of sand.
Plants that have become, thick or
that are wanted for further propaga-
ton should be divided and reset. but
do not disturb the shrubs. as the time
to reset those is in the early spring.
Tulips and hyacinths should be set
out now. Plant in light, rich soil. fer

oughly dug in and mixed with the soil.

Petticoat Hints.

THE plan of changing the petticoat
flounce is meeting with great favor,
especially among those women who seek
the best results for the least expenditure
of money A top skirt should be made
which reaches to the knee. 1t Is best to
have this top made of a shade to harmon
ize with the fiounces used. One woman
who follows this plan has a black silA
top skirt, with which she wears BLACK
silk ruffie for her black gowns. she wears
ruffie of blue silk having touch OF
black in the pattern with her light blue
gowns. and a black-and-white silk rune
for some of her afternoon gowns.
1t means that instead OF having whole
silk petticoat for each gown. one may
have a silk rufle. 1t is made with 9
firm, narrow band at the top. well pro-
vided with buttonholes. and when worn
1t is buttoned on the top skirt. For an
elaborate skirt white silk top will admit
of all sorts Of pale silk founces to wear
with the various colored party gowns, OF
the handsome lace ruffles may be worn
with 1t. Ruff1ed and pleated petticoai
hounoings may be bought by the yard to
replace the worn-out founee OF the old
garment, but any woman who can sew al
all would lie able 10 make her own.

EXTENSIVE USE OF LACE.

used extensively on dresses and cos
tunes. The extreme widths will be used
as a band encircling the fiounces Of the
skirts, and the narrower widths to match
will be used on the waist front and on
the sleeves. The popularity of these wide
bands, which may be had in width up to
eighteen inches, has brought out some in
teresting patterns in heavy designs that
are indeed stunning.
x
Copper and gold bronze laces figure
conspicuously. Beaded bands. motifs,
and ornaments will be largely used.
These bands are usually in wide widths,
and the greater portion Of them are on
black, blue or green nets, with the colors
ranging from the very subdued tones to
the brightest known shades and combi-
nations. Oriental effects are carried out
in bands with designs of wool and in
tapestry effects all orked by hand, and
the machine-made limitations may also be
had. The colors of these are of the
brighter hues, but are not of the real
loud variety, and are appropriate for
use either on black or colored mater ais.
In embroideries English eyelet effects
are not only in white and ecru, but ex-
quisite colored effects as well. Embroid-
cred robes or dresses for evening and
party wear. in which wide flouncings are
used, have wide embroidery bands to
match as trimming. Most Of these are
white, but silks are also to be seen, with
bands of the extreme wide laces used in
the founces of the skirt. Sometimes
these bands are used in diagonal or panel
effect; but the styles are favoring the use
of wide bands and embroidered flouncings
more particularly. In the embroidered
patterns most of the things to be seen
are white embroidered designs on fne
linens. swisses and mullS, though q few
of these will be outlined in faint tints OF
blue and coral.

WE are on the verge Of a very large

has so much favor been accord
ed to laces and embroideries. Not only

but the very light varieties are being

Heavy laces, such as real venice, cluny.
filet and Irish effects, will be much worn,
as we'll as the machine-made limitations
of these laces. The popularity of cotton
and silk marquisettes will make venice
laces great favorites. Women now seem
to be learning the Importance of mar
quisettes and how to use them to the
best advantages.
Beautiful patterns of lace or embroidered
designs on filet nets are to be had which,
when combined with marquisettes or
other sheer materials produce some stun
ming effects. Real handmade filet laces
may be had with hand-worked designs.
but the effect and finish of the machine
made limitations are very similar, and
these are the goods that will be bought
by most women. Macrame, Irish crochet
and cluny will be much used.
Light laces, such as mal.nes, or shadow
laces, and the chantillys, Will be used
alone and in combination with the heav-
Ter types of laceS. FiounceS and bands
of white shadow lace will be extensively
used on gowns of satin or sheer frabrics.
