MANY DANGERS IN
DRESSING THE HAIR

The chances that many women take
about most things in life, and about their
health in particular, are really astound-
ling when one comes to think about them
For instance, the simple matter OF
washing ones hair is fraught with dan
ger when it is done without knowledge.
| in q careless manner and at the mop
perfume moment
We have ell been told that it is dan
gerous to wash ones hair at night: a ae.
nearly every woman who Is busy does
this very thing. So little time have they
to call their own that 1t becomes cues
ton when such necessary tasks snail De
accomplished, and many women soive the
problem by washing their hair at night,
since they cannot afford the luxury OF
the hairdresser In the day.
This is the worst possible time 10
choose for such task. The BODY Is eH-
hausted after a trying days work and is
more open to attack from any cold germ
that may be floating about.
Overcome with fatigue. one is naturally
careless about drying the hair, so one
invariably goes to bed without It's peing
Thoroughly done. And here Is where the
danger lies.
The hair is damp and the window open.
SO the air blows upon the head. and as
consequence one is liable to have an abb
scess form in the ear while one sleeps.
Many cases of total deafness have been
brought on in just such manner. Yet
women constantly run this risk rather
than use part Of their day for this task
And they are now indulging in another
and even more dangerous method. From
Paris came the word that a gasoline
washing is productive OF brilliant and
glossy locks and healthy scalp. Conse-
quently one hears of women everywhere
plunging their heads rec:slessly into
basins Of gasoline. Could anything be
more fraught with danger?
It may be a beneficial thing for the
| locks, though some consider it too drying
to be healthful. since it burns up all the
natural Oil of the scalp. but the gasoline
washing should never under any circum-
pert hairdresser and on the authority OF
a skin specialist.
| One young woman who had heard Of
the wonderful benefit of such a method
ordered can Of gasoline from the gar
age filled a. basin and plunged her head
| into it. The gasoline got into her eyes
and ears and had such an effect upon her
skin that the face was irritated and she
endured torture. -
| The suffering was as acute as II she
Ihad been actually burned, and relief was
only attained after salves and oils had
been applied. Then to her CONSERVATION
she found her scalp in a worse condition
| than before. Her hair was dry and the
scalp so parched that she was days get
ting the natural oil back and her locks

upon ones head it's benefits are ques-
tionable and its dangers undeniable

New Writing Paper.

Among the smartest fashions in mono
gram paper is the oblong cartouche with
three small block letters or quaint old
English ones in center. The design, back
ground and letters are printed in opales-
cent colors that give the effect Of mother
of-pearI
This marking is used at the upper left
hand corner or directly in the middle of
the front page. 1t is expensive; the design
and the stamping alone cost 60 cents a
quire.
Block letters never go out of favor but
a rather new use Of them is to have them
very tiny and placed In the center of q
small square or oblong.
The initials, which are shaped to form
oval. circular or diamond designs by their
grouping. are still good, though not en-
tirely new. These are printed in one, two
or three colors, and are stylish and less
conspicuous in self-tones to match the
paper. They are used both at the left
hand side and corner. though the former
Is favored.
Quite new for those who are not con-
sentative is the last initial of the name
alone printed as a raised letter at the
left-hand corner. This is from one to
two inches long.
Another somewhat similar effect has
and bottom with the other two initials
I'm smaller letters. Sometimes a fancy
lettering is used, more often in block or
Japanese alphabet.
It is common to mark the paper intended
for use In a country house with the name
Of the house, and address beneath it, in
right-hand corner, as '1dlewild, Rye, n.
" and higher. in the opposite corner.
Is the telephone number and telegraph
and express address. IL these are different
from the post ONCE address, as often
happens in the country. The words 'Tele-
phone '"relegrams' and Express" are
engraved in full. with the number and ad-
dress opposite. or a miniature telephone
receiver and telegraph pole Is substituted.
This paper should be ordered generously.
as it is customary to supply it in the IL
brary and living room desks. also in the
bedrooms for use OF the guests. Some
times the post ONCE address is stamped
across the flap Of the envelope.
F1amboyant monograms are not In good
taste, nor is too much lavishness with
ones crest Many women prefer their
dies stamped in white or in q deeper tone
than the paper used. II one uses the new
gray paper with the deeper toned. narrow
gray border, the stamping matches the
border.

New Embroidery.

Inc reign OF venise lace has certainly
begun. 1t has entirely taken the place
OF the once SO popular Irish crochet.
Bandings Of this lace are used with vel
vet silk. chiffon. marquisette and wooden
fabrics. These wide bands are used at
the bottom Of the tunfc or skirt, across
the bodice and sleeves and as vertical
panels at the front, back or sides of
the skirt or blouse. Another method,
quite new, shows this lace winding in
spiral or serpentine effect, beginning at
the shoulder, at tho front or the back,
crossing the figure diagonally, encircling
the hips obliQuely and finally winding
around the lower part Of the skirt.
Medallfons. motifs and all-over venise
are also seen. This last is used for the
short Greek tunic, the long one being of
velvet. cloth or chiffon. This shows be-
meath as an underskirt.
Cluny Is being much used in lingerie
gowns and in neckwear, the wide bands
resembling fiat venise. Cluny trimmings
are shown also on some silk-and-velvet
gowns.
A combination of fiat venise on heavy
flet net Is very beautiful and modish.
and SO are darned flets; especially new

heavy cord are very popular and will
continue to grow in favor. Quite the
latest. and good imitation OF the real
venise, is an imitation lace worked out
in narrow tubular cotton braid, just like
corset lacing. with the stitches worked
between the cord outline in heavy linen
thread.
Among the other laces favored BIZ

When silver Is not In constant use q
piece OF camphor will keep it from tar

Brushing moth holes in furniture with
parafYin will arrest their progress. The
holes should be filled with parafiln wax.
Valuable china and glass may be saved
from chipping by placirg heavy Turkish

After mirrors are washed and dried
they should be rubbed with spirits Of

Tobacco Trust Plan Gets o. K.

Il
The United States circuit court for
the Southern district of New York ap-
proved the plan submitted by the
American Tobacco company and other
defendants for the disintegratiou of
the tobacco trust, in conformity with
the decree of the United States SUI
preme court.
New York, Nov. 8. = The United
States circuit court for the southern
district of New York approved the
plan submitted by the American To
bacco company and other defendants
for the disintegration of the tobacco
trust, incOntormity with the decree of
the United States supreme court.
The approval was with modificc tiOns.
growing out of the recent argument
before the court in which Attorney
General Wickersham insisted, amOng
other things, that the court MAINTAIN
jurisdiction for five years, so that ii
the plan did not result in the estab-
lishment of genuine competition, the
government could come into the court
at any time to ask for additional re-
lief.
The court, in it's decision, says that
provision should be made in carrying
out the plan for keeping intact the
books and records of the American
Tobacco company, and its present
constituents and branches, so that
they shall be available and subject tc
explanation to the same extent as al
present, in suits for accounting and
other existing litigation.
