GOOD TO LEAVE HAIR ALONE
Rarely Does II Pay to Seek to I'M

Ordained.

After ALL would advise no one to
change the color of the hair, though it
be as black as Erebus. Nature gives
each face the framework most suit
able to it. She never needs correc-
ton on that point.
Why not dress the hair to suit the
face, no matter what is the prevail
ing fashion?
Hair should be allowed to grow gray
naturally. All dyes destroy the beauty
and color of the hair. Let us grace

Origin Of the Club.

Not infrequently women Of wit d.
rect their shafts against the clubs so
beloved and frequented by mankind.
In Ralph Nevill's story Of London
Clubs" and their origin and uses are
some examples Of wit aimed In the
opposite direction.
The original conception Of London
club was retreat to which West End
men might betake themselves, certain
that the troubles and worries OF the
outside world would not follow them
into building which they regarded as
q temple of dignified seclusion and re-
pose
Perhaps the best description of a
club, as it existed in former days, was
that given by witty bishop, who de-
fined it as q place where women
ceased from troubling and the weary
were at rest"
Another amusing definition was
once given by George Augustus Sala.
"a club" said sala, rs q weapon
used by savages to keep the white
woman at a distspce,"-YOuth's Com

RIBBONS MAY BE WASHED
And, as Most Mothers Will Agree,
There Is Considerable Economy
in the Plan.

When there are several schoolgirl
daughters in the family the eXpendi-
ture on hair ribbons becomes quite a
considerable item. Fastidious moth
ers who declare that ribbons never
look well when washed should try
the following method:
Make a mixture of three ounces OF
soft soap, three tablespoonful of
honey, to teacupful of gin and wa
ter.
The ribbon is placed on board and
scrubbed with the mixture. 1t is then
rinsed by dipping several times in
clean, cold water, and not squeezed
out, but hung over a line to drip,
then put between cloths and ironed by
drawing the ribbons from under the
iron. This prevents creasing and
stringy appearance at finish. The iron
should be kept still with pressure up
on it.
White ribbons will not turn yellow
when washed If the water is warm III
stead of hot, and the soap used fine
white quality. Rinse in three waters,
the last being strong blue.
Hang in the sun until half dry, then
press under clean muslin with warm
iron.

FIRE PLAYS HAVOC
IN WASCO'S CAPITAL

The Dalles had another serious fire
Friday night, when five business
houses were gutted and loss of ap-
proXimate'y Sl2.0 was entailed.
The fire started in the lodging quar-
ters above the California eating house.
A roomer, whose name could not be
learned, was smoking in bed when the
covers caught fire. He threw one of
the articles of flaming bed-clothing
out of the window. The blanket landed
at the corner of the Lemke saloon and
the blaze which damaged the Lemke,
Mills, Hoering and Milne places of
business was caused by the burning
bed-cover which was dropped from the
second-story window. The roomer did
not succeed in getting all of the blaz..
ing bed-clothing out of the lodging
house. The fire from that which he
left burning on the floor soon commun-
icated to the walls and roof, the
second story of this building being
damaged beyond all question of repair.
The damaged structures are ''shacks"
composed of dry pine wood which is
exceedingly infiammable, and because
the buildings did noe burn to, the
ground is due to splendid work on the
part of the fire department, says The
Dalles Chronicle. All of them are
one-story affairs. with the exception
of the California restaurant which is
of two stories, that is-one story and
what is left of another.
