WHITE WIGS BEING
WORN IN PARIS

White wigs are being worn in Paris
with evening costumes. or the hair is
powered in the eighteenth century mode.
Sometimes gold dust is used for the pow
dering.
Curls and puffs are used in profusion,
and quantities OF false hair are still ab-
solutely necessary. Infantile styles pre-
vail-quite boyish. in fact. The calotte
or turban is formed of SUGGESTIONS of
puffs and ringlet styles, not of the stIn
puffs Of yore. The hair in front is part
ed and brought low over the ears. The
curly turban is then circled by heavy
braid. coiled switch or a "bandage"
Black satin is used in head-dressing,
combined with red, white, blue, and
green. White aigrettes and feathers are
seen, sometimes combined with rose pufs
and ribbon flowers.
The center parting is in favor, combined
with a bang or worn back over the ears
in a roll, If that is more becoming. 1t is
entwined with a large braid encircling
the head and needs for its formation
a small turban form and a pair OF rolls,
the former near the base of the head
and the latter above the ears.

CLEANSE DRY SKIN
WITH COLD CREAM

II your skin is dry do not use much
water on your face until the dryness is
overcome, but cleanse your face with
cold cream and piece Of soft linen.
Battle with warm water in the morning,
without soap. and, after drying, rub in
as much of the cream as the skin will
absorb.
You may powder over this il you like.
Below is the formula of a cold cream
which contains no glycerin and usually
agrees with the most delicate skins. II
your skin Is very dry, IL Is not likely
that hairs will grow on II. People who
have oily faces generally have this ten
dency, especially when the oil collects in
the pores and supplies a nourishment to
the hair follicle. Here Is the formula:
Rose water, ounces; almond oil,
ounces; spermaceti, 1 ounce; white wax,
/ ounce.
Orange flower lilac, violet. or elder
flower. water can be substituted for the
rose water at pleasure, and the addition
of one dram Of tincture of benzoin or a
half dram Of salicylic acid will insure
the cream from becoming rancid.

SERIOUS MISTAKE
OF AN OLD MAID
Who Married to Escape the
Land of LOnesOmeness.
By FRANCIS l.. GARsIDE.

Once upon time there lived an Old
Maid. She did lot call herself Spinster
or a Bachelo-- Girl. She was frank and
honest about 1t, and despised such SUBJ
terfuges and admitted that she was an
Old Maid
She also made an admission much
more fatal: She admitted her lonesome
ness, and one day, In a moment of self
pity, left Lonesome Land by walking
from the altar with a man.
There Is always reason why ons
should congratulate ones self, and never
reason for self-pity, and those who
pity themselves are making room for
trouble, and that Is what happened to
the Old Maid who pitied herself because
she was lonesome.
Worse Than Lonesomcness.
She never thereafter was lonesome, but
she found there are conditions worse
than a peaceful sojourn in Lonesome
Land.
She gave up a good position TO work
for her board and clothes without
Sunday afternoon or an evening on. She
left the employ Of man who always
treated her fairly. fearing she would
quit his employ IL he didn't. to work
for a man who was always unfair, know
him for life.
The troubles Of her maiden days were
imaginary ones; those OF her married
life were real From a dweller in air
castles, she became a dweller In a real
house with a roof that leaked: She be-
came so occupied with household duties
that she neglected her looks, and as
reward heard her husbands praise of
the fine appearance of the woman who
had 10th In 10 n Iar- htiGf oh f4xy
which was greater than that Of most
men, was thereafter devoted to rolling
the material for one pie crust thin
enough to do for two, and in making
time table for the cooking Of meats and
vegetables.
Perfectly Human Man.
All Of which would have been a joy II
man had been like the men she met
in the books, but he wasn't. No men
are.
She saw her husband make business
mistakes that were fatal, and when she
warned him that he was about to do
the wrong thing she was asked, What
do you know about business? You are
nothing but a womanp' With an ability
and strength Of character greater than
his, she was forced to spend her life in
the obscurity Of pots and pans, trusting
the financial future Of herself and her
children to a man who thought himself
a Napoleon Of finance and who hadn't
the judgment necessary to run a peanut
stand.
Some years after her marriage her
husband went out one morning, slam
ming a door in his regular morning irri-
tation so hard that pictures and plates
tumbled to the floor.
The noise awakened both babies, and
they set up a howl.
"At last" said the ex-Old Maid, as she
tried to soothe the babies and pick up
broken china and pictures at the same
time. 'T am no longer lonesome"
And having said that she said all.

BARRIERS Chair in the Nursery.

Every mother knows how impossible II
is to make the little folks stand still
while tangled tresses are Strengthened
out and curls brushed over the finger.
Mother or nurse, brush In hand, chase
the elusive youngsters all over the
nursery before the coiffure is completed.
The resourceful mother has hit upon a
happy idea. A small red wooden chair,
called the barbers chair, Is brought out
and the small person must sit down
while the locks are made presentable.
The children do not mind taking turns
at the barber's chair and sit much more
patiently than they are won't to stand
during the process Of hair brushing.

Larger Hats Than Ever.

As IL to maintain their supremacy large
hats. are more immense than ever before,
and are crowding out the smaller ones
so much talked Of earlier in the season.
Fancy the size of a hat large enough to
support forty-seven ostrich feathers!
They were pure white. uncurled and ar
ranged much like a peacock's tail when
spread. They practically covered the
hat and were certainly unique and chic
in effect. while the elegance of the crea-
ton was made definite blythe price.

Sad, indeed, is certain condition to
which I must again call the attention
of the Puzzle Circle.
There were thirty-two solutions, most
of them correct, which reached the office
of The Washington Herald last week aft
er the closing of the contest which made
me feel badly for their senders, since
some one or two of them might have
won a prize had their lists of answers
to the locoed business firms come to me
earlier in the week.
OF course, in some instances, 1t did not
matter, as. for example, in the case Of
one puzzler who wrote me that she was
unable to untangle the locoes earlier, but
sent me her solution even after the con-
test had closed, just to let me know that
she was faithful, even when there was
no hope OF a reward
1t is always a plelsrre to have such
demonstration OF loyalty. but in cases
where a plain acknowledgment comes
along with the solution that the answers
were ready days before and not sent for
Just no reason at all. 1t is different.
So many contestants forget that the
contest closes at noon on Friday, in spite

BLACKFOOT
LOSES TO BOISE
State Championship in Foot Ball goes
to the Capital City.-Game Held
Here Thanksqivinq Day.

Thanksgiving day at Blackfoot was
celebrated with regulation events up
the afternoon when all loyal citizens
turned out to see the matter OF sup-
remecy in foot ball settled. The Ore
gon Short Line put on q late train
or rather took one off where aS they
expected to arrive here at eight fif-
teen. The streets were lined with peo
pie all day awaiting the arrival Of the
foe. The day was perfect and every
one was prepared for q great game
end they finally saw It, as evidenced
by the total receipts at the gate.
A detailed account Of the game
would show that Boise outplayed
Blackfoot during the greater part OF
the game. It seemed to an outsider
that the home boys were suffering
from stage fright during the greater
part of the game. Only once during
the second quarter did they show their
usual form. It took them but q few
moments to rush the ball from their
own forty yard line to the twenty
yard line Of the enemy. Had Black
foot BEEN able to pull themselves to-
gcther and maintain this clip there
would have been different story to
tell, but they lapsed into ragged
sort Of play after showing what they
could do when working together.
Boise unfolded q series Of tricks and
new formations that the New Game
has made possible, that seemed TO
throw Blackfoot up in the air. The
teams were quite evenly matched In
weight and in individual skill but the
Boise team played together better
and this won the game.
The left half back for Boise and
their right tackle we're the principal
stars, while for Blckfoot Will Parkin-
son and Earl Miller played a fine
game. Boise gained much ground by
their punts and scored three of their
points by drop kick. Parkinson al
so made good as a drop kicker for
Blackfoot by scoring three points from
the 80 yard line. Tayler's tacklfng
was alwys fierce nd sure. y.
