HER HAIR TO BE SHADED
But it Will Cost the Well

"This year will be expensive for

ideas in fashion," said a woman as

hour in tea room. Il tried to prac-
tice economy during the last days of

sit is going to cost twice as much
to keep ones hair in order and this
is the fault Of the changing mode.
The latest cry is that the hair shall
be two shaded, one color as you look
at 1t from the right side and another
color as you gaze at it from the left;
one hue in the dusk and another in
the light.
81 went to see my hair artist about
it and she said:
THAT is the new style; the plush
hair style.'A
what is plush hair?" asked.
Plush hair she replied, is hair
that looks very soft. It is light and
fluffy. but it does not fly: it lies flat
or stays where it is put !"
els it difficult hair?' I ventured.
"No, not difficult" she said, ''but
rather hard to keep up. It is easy to
acquire; you can get it ia a few hours
but it needs constant attention. The
woman who keeps her hair looking
like plush must devote two hours
day to it: that is, If it is light hair

pagne.''
''How shall use them?" I asked.
81 cannot tell you" replied the hair
woman, "for the reason that I am not
yet familiar with your hair. I have
seen drabbfsh brown hair that could
be washed in soap and water and
when nearly dry could be dipped in
clear champagne. But all hair cannot
be treated thus
"And how shall I known
"Only by experiment. Dip part OF
your hair in champagne, or spray a
portion Of the front with it. Then dry
light and sparkling. If it is improved
in color and in tone you can try the
whole head.
"And what would you do with very
blonde hair?" I asked, thinking Of a
silver-haired friend OF mine.
81 would of course use bluing in
the water" said she, 1.-The same as
though it were silver white hair. But
I would once il while shampoo the
hair in weak lemonade, without sug-
ar, Of course. There are pale yellow
blondes whose hair seems to need the
stimulating effect OF lemon or lime
used much diluted"
''But suppose" I pursued. still with
a thought Of helping my friend, that
your hair were real brown, true
deep brown. What would you then
use upon it?'
'"The hair woman hesitated a min
ute. It is difficult to answer questions
without seeing the shade of the hair"
she replied. eff you will ask your
friend to send me a sample lock of
her hair I can tell her just what to
use upon it, }3

1.-THE same process applies to fruit,

then rub 1t to polish upon his coat.
Perhaps the worst result OF this
form of selling falls upon the chill
dren. The youngsters, with their ready
pennies, are the best customers, and
sad to say, the chief sufferers. Their
resistance to the impure produce il
naturally much lower than that OF
the adult purchaser. They are OBJ

DANGERS THAT LURK
IN PEDDLED SWEETS
Selling of Cheap Candy on
Street Should Be Abolish
ed. Doctor Declares

Declaring that untold dangers Turk
in the fruit and cheap candy peddled
in the streets, American Medicine
urges that the vendors be put out Of
business. The writer says:
"The vending Of fruit, confectionery,
and the various forms Of pastry from
street stands, push carts and peddlers
baskets is abnominably unsanitary
and should be abolished. In the bet
ter sections Of the city little OF this
practice may be encountered, but
among the more crowded districts and
dler thriveS.
"The small dealer starts out in the
morning with basket or box Of the
most inferior grade Of assorted con-
fectionery, and takes his place along
the curb, where he awaits the passing
purchaser, who fingers over the wares
until a selection is made and then
vendor carefully rearranges his stock
in trade with his not too clean fin
gers.
'It is bad enough that the sweet
meat is impure-but when we recall
that the basket remains in the open
all day and in most cases without any
covering, along the curb where the
dust and pulverized refuse from the
street and cutters is blown upon the
contents, we can easily appreciate how
contaminated it must be.
1.-THE soft candy and such as the
chocolate-coated variety, exposed to
the weather, readily absorbs the i'm
purities from the dust ard air. No
tice upon q warm day such bask-
ct or box, with its gri1ny proprietor,
at the corner, and see the street sweep
er a few feet distant diligently brush
ing the pavement, so that a cloud Of
dust and particles Of decayed matter

ened or moist confectionery.
1.-THE idea of merely inhaling the
dust is revolving, yet it is eaten, only
in a disguised and more palatable
form. We fully realize that in the
manufacture of these products only
the most inferior grade of material
is necessarily used and that before it
reaches the selling receptacle the can
dy passes through many hands and
unhygenic processes which are decid-
edly unclean; but 1t becomes worse if
we take the time to notice the pains
one of these peddlers will take to
maintain the attractiveness Of his dis
play
Toward the end Of the day the
merchandise begins to lose its fresh
appearance, the surface of the coated
varieties becomes dul1ed from expos
ure and frequent handling; and then it
is common practice for the man in
charge to select such pieces and, hold
ing them to his mouth, blow his breath
upon them and then rub them to a
polish-using his fingers or coat sleeve
or even worse. his pocket handkerchief
OF course, we might speculate as to
the variety, number, and virulence of
the pathological organisms in that
mans exhaled breath-upon his cloth
ing, or within that handkerchief-but
it is too disgusting. Nevertheless, the
fact remains and 10 easily proved by

is his independence. Independent be-

Three Stages of Development.
There were three stages of develop
ment of the human race, he said, the
time of the big stick or the big fist,
when the man who was bodily strong
was the ruler by force; then came the
period of the big purse when the
money ruled and controlled, and some
people have not outgrown that stage
yet. Then followed the era of the big
brain, the force of intellect, but that is
now outgrown, and to-day we ask a
combination of all of them, the bodily
strength and vigor which belongs to
the healthy man, the intellectual de-
velopment and the man of heart, all
to be controlled by the new spirit
And this new spirit can only be taught
by Christianity.
