PULL OUT
THE CRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy Will Bring Back
the Natural Color.

Pull out n gray hair and a dozen
will take its place" is an old saying,
which is, to a great extent, true, If no
steps are taken to stop the cause
When gray hairs appear 1t is a sign that
nature needs assistance. It is ma
lures call for help. Gray hair, dull,
~lifeless hair, or hair that is falling out,
is not necessarily a sign of advancing
age, for there are thousands of elderly
people with perfect heads of hair with
out a single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be ~lifeless or dead. some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tions to use is the old-fashioned Sage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a
preparation of domestic sage n sui
phur. scientifically compounded with
later discovered hair tonics and slim
ulants, the whole mixture being care
fully balanced and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome inc perfectly harmless.
1t refreshes dry. parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores faded
or gray hair to it's natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference q few
days treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle. and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

THE LATEST IN SLIPPERS.


Some of the most beautiful slippers
are of soft lustrous satin, made per-
fectly plain, with a medium Cuban heel
and a small rhinestone buckle in front
Many of them are finished with a
soft chou Of chiffon Or maline. held n
place with a round jeweled ornament
and others have small satin bows Ia
front.
For the bride, white satin slippers
having a tiny cluster of the significant
orange blossom on the toe are quit-
correct.
The new note in milady's shoes and
slippers Is that heels are to be a triie
lower than heretofore and toes more
pointed.
Velvet and suede pumps have been
much worn during the summe and
will continue to be popular during the
fall. AS a rule. they are soft and COM
Portable. Women hate to give them up,
ever when cold weather sets In.
The French heel has almost entirely
disappeared from shoes adapted to
street wear, although 1t is still seen on
evening slippers.
Very beautiful are the "mules'' de-
signed for the boudoir. These soft,
comfy %lounging slippers are made Of
satin and brocades In the daintiest
shades. Some are embroidered and
others are trimmed with little bows OF
lace.
Buckles are seen on all the newest
slippers. Large, small n medium, 1t
matters not what size is chosen-just
so 1t is a buckle. They are of metal,
often jeweled deliberately, others
leather covered, or having metal frames
inlaid with satin, suede or velvet.

thing is against you.
When you begin your struggle you
find there are stars on the stage VINO
think that they are the last stars the
world will ever see, and that there Is
room for no more, not even Tor you.
You can't blame them, because they
want to be shown that you have ability.
Their attitude toward you is no" You

Well, n by one the little successes

that, after all, the very system against

too willing to receive you, If only you
can show that you have the ability.

At a fashionable wedding the other

Is universal In Germany of allowing
each bridesmaid to come in whatever
Kind and color of gown which her own
fancy dictated. the only stipulation
being that all hats should be black
The result was charming. for each
girl could choose the color that suited
her and was conscious of looking her
best.
Many a bride would welcome this
plan, for considerable work Is always
added to the already heavy share borne
by her by the inevitable wall that goes
up from her attendant damsels. ooh,

Honeymoon a la Arab.
Motoring homogeneous, river honey

The crowd outside the church were
surprised to see a smart new caravan
waiting outside, and still more sur
prised when the newly-married couple
came out of the church, got into 1t
and drove away on their honeymoon.
They have called their honeymoon
abode "Kerri," which is the Romany
word for home, and mean to spend

Etiquette

Bridesmaids and maids of honor fol-
lew unhesitaingly the wishes of the
bride regarding the color and style of
their gowns, as well as all the acces-
series.
When the bride is blessed with wealth
she often presents the gowns and ac-
c~essories in all their completeness to
her maids as gifts.
The bridegroom sends the flowers to
be carried by the maids, and the bride
adds @ pretty little trinket, which
often takes the form of a piece of jew
elry.
The maid of honor receives the brides
bouquet and glove while the ring is
being placed on her finger. returning
them at the close of the ceremony.
Maid of honor and best man follow
Immediately after the bride and bride
groom in leaving the church.
Only intimate friends and relatives
of a bride are privileged to present
their gifts to her in person.
A Point About engagements.
From the legal point of view an en-
gagement ring does not become the
absolute property of the lady to whom
1t is presented.
The bridegroom-elec gives it to her
on condition that she marries him. If
by breaking off the engagement she
falls to fulfill the contract the law de-
clares hat she must return the ring.
But she need not obey the law unless
the young man" insists that she must
do so. And 1t often happens that he
begs her to keep 1t.
If he still continues to care for her
1t affords him some slight comfort to
know that 1t remains in her possession.
Should his affection have cooled he
considers 1t a slight compensation, a
little balm to her wounded feelings, or
a proof that whatsoever the circum-
stances may be he bears her no malice.

ny HELEN hAHh,
Famous as the Star in "The Deserter"
and "Pair In Full"
How does it feel to be a star? The
answer to that question is very dis
oouraging; it is one that is likely to
knock into a cooked hat the decisions
which the public has about the star
whose name is hung in electric lights
in front of the theatre.
Being a star isn't any fun. Why,
IL the right man came along today.
I'd stop being a sta and settle down
with him in a little home and be the
happiest woman in the world. With
the little children that l van about
me, l know | could fnd a JOY in life
that being a star could never, never
afford me. But, being a star and hav-
ing a child of your own don't go to-
gether. Having no little home and
having no little kiddies about you is
one of the prices you pay for being a
star.
1t never, never succeeds, his attempt

who isn't on the stage and then re-
main IN the stage themselves. Home

you want to be a star. Personally,
think it is a terrible price to pay.
This sounds as if l didn't get any
satisfaction out of my success. l do,
but not in the way that the public
thinks a star gets pleasure out of her
triumphs. The stars get no satisfac-
tion out of seeing their names in the
lights, or headlined on the %billboards.
The true satisfaction comes from see
ing myself progress and improve in
my work..
Being a star, as I said at the be-
ginning, is not much fun But getting
to be one is a delightful mixture of
pain and delight. 1t is a case of fight,
fight, fight, and then gloat, gloat, gloat,
or groan, groan, groan, accordingly as
your fight ended in success or defeat.
At first 1t seems as If everything is

a Little Sey9aen
on Soap

of a skin Specific famous among Physicians every
where under the name of "Resinol.'
'Resinol' is so soothing and powerful that it
kills the sting of a wasp in two minutes, and in
stantly relieves the most aggravated itching, or sur
face Inflammation.
1t heals slow sores that nothing else has healed,
while being so harmless that one might eat some
of it.
Resinol is also the most effective Germ-destroyer
which is at once soothing, healing and which pos
sesses the power to put Pain or Irritation to Sleep
in any Skin trouble, Chatting, Sunburn or Prickly
Heat.
Such is the Vital Element in Resinol Soap,
which fortiies it against Infection, makes it heal
small scratches or irritations without care, soothes
and exhilarates after using, softens hard water and
gives a satin-like smoothness to the skin.
The odor of Resinol Soap is delightfully."- "clean"
and refreshing, suggesting family the fine fragrance
of real, old-tine Russia Leather.
It's use-for Toilet, Bath and Hair-wash, and
more than all else, for Baby's Soothing Bath. At all
druggists.

Woodruff, headed the ticket as the
suffrage candidate for President.
The life of Lady Cook has been as
romantic as strenuous. Boz to hum
Bile circumstances, she married late in
life an Englishman with a tremendous
fortune, which he willed to his widow.
When she was II years old she made
her first marriage. This was annulled,
the man being proved to be a biga-
mist.
She and Mrs. Woodruff were the first
ONE to. conduct a stock brokers'
office in Wall street. In those days
few women were brave enough to
operate in the business world. She
organized inc took command Of a reg
iment of negro soldiers, drilled the reg
iment of Colonel Jim" Fiske after
he had been slain by ED" Stokes, and,
aided by her sister. she edited a
woman's paper to expose the Beecher-
Tilton scandal.
Lady Cook has been in much litiga-
ton both in this country and in Ems
land. but she always insists she has
stood for freedom and has been perse-
cuted and maligned.
