Who does not know the value Of
sa &c and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and in good condi-
tion? AS a matter of fact, sulphur

no. BETTER remedy for hair and scalp

 That was. brother Claude speaking and the interrogative ascension in his enuneia- tion indicated that he wanted to ask hen a question. He always asks Lucinda when he wants to know anything.
 Lucinda" he went on, live been in- vited to dinner by Algernon and I want to tell him that of course I'll come in evening clothes, but 1 don't want to say just that to him, it would seem too informal and also it's sort of conmon- place and worn. Can't you think of some- thing that l could say instead of glad rags?"
 'Tvhy, certainly said Lucinda, tell him 70 uare coming in your gleeso,ne paraphernalia.''
 ''Oh, no.'' says brother Claude. you know that wouldn't do. He'd only laugh at that
 'Wel. then,' said Lucinda, you might say that you will appear in your joyous habiliments.''
 Joyous habil-dear, dear!" says Claude 'That's almost as bad. I don't want any long words in it, nothing fancy and flow cry. 1 want something jolly and pleasant and lively, not grand and overpowering.'
 Well, Claude,' said his patient and ever helpful sister, just write him that you'll come in your merry regalia What would you think of that?'
 But that didn't strike Claude quite fay orab1y either, though he liked it better, but he wanted something simpler still. whereupon Lucinda suggested to nnl, Make 1t hayyp togs," but brother Claude only groans at that and says no, that won't do, and he says they won't any of them do, and he guessed he'll have to just Writc 1t glad rags and let it go at that

Pluckina Sheep.

The pure bred sheep in Shetland are
not shorn, but plucked. The process
takes place generally in June, when
the fleece Is "ripe" and the silky wool
can be pulled of without pain. This is
called 'rooing" and is much less dam.

with shears. The wool when thus han

whether the material Of knitted ar
ticle has been plucked or shorn. 1t

ders, so that sheep half pulled resem-
BILE in some sort poodle that is
clipped. We must suppose that harsher
handling prevailed at one time, for we
read that in 1916 the Scottish priVy
council spoke Of the custom as still
kept up '1n some remote and uncivil
Places" and James I. wrote to tell
them that it had been put down In Ire
land under penalty Of fine. Upon
this they passed an act on March II,
1916, deploring the destruction Of sheep
thus caused and imposing similar fines
on those who should persist in the
practice.
