Henna may be appliedFin several dli-
ferant ways, but the simplest AMI
easiest way is to use a tea made of the
leaves. In preparing the tea use an
ounce of leaves to quart Of water and
boil the whole down to a pint, Tne

the hair with a small brush. Care must
be taken to spread the stain evenly, or
etad with succession Of reddish

Thanking you, am, Yours truly,

rE widow should wear deep mourning
/ for twelve months, made of black stuff
! dresses, trimmed with crepe, and she
&hould also wear a long crepe veil. The
material of the dress can be cashmere,
erge, or henrietta, and 1t should be
ii aimed with crepe landings. In the
second year the crepe Is left off. and
she can wear plain black; and for half
mourning black silks, black and white,
df ffdresses of mauve or gray. A young
8 Married woman usually wears mourning
for her father one year, but she need
not wear deep mourning. l should think
Nztt \ "
lDom friends that something individual
and personal should be said in each
letter., hardly think that one form of
all of your friends.
