CONCERNING THE
CUSTOM OF CALLING

The interest taken by the woman OF
today In athletics, in the world. in az
fairs Of public tenor, has brought about
at least one welcome social change-the
abolition of the social call.
No longer are upper blinds seen to fiut-
ter suspiciously while maid or butler
lieved callers. The allotted twenty min
utes Of platitudes. during which hostess
and guest conversed about such vital
topics as the weather or the servant situ-
alton, is reckoned as so much wasted
time by the busy woman of society.
This gradual disappearance of the call
ing custom does not mean consequent
damper upon social activity. What 1t does
signify is a more sincere and q more
natural phase of sociability. Today a
woman rings up the friend she wishes to

obvious reasons we hail with joy the
passing Of an era of silly formality,
ha stening to welcome In its stead the
custom Of .just dropping in for a chat"
or an afternoon visit.

To Beauty the Hair.

When the hair begins falling out by
reason OF dandrufY. try shampooing with
out soap. A shampoo for this purpose
is made of the beaten yolks of two eggs
In limewater. Massage this we'll into the
scalp. wash out with warm water and
finish with a rinse of cold water, to avoid
taking cold.
Make a lotion of one and one-fialf drains
Of pure glycerin. with two ounces OF
lmewater. Every fortnight make a thor
ough application Of this lotion to the scalp
by separating the hair in strands and put
ting the liquid on with a small soft brush.
After the treatment the scalp must be
carefully massaged with the fingertips,
stimulating circulation and bringing nour-
ishment to the dry cuticle.
After two applications add to the lotion
an ounce of tincture Of cantharides. Apply
every night for two weeks. The treat
ment may be gradually left off as the
dandruff diminishes.
When the hair Is excessively oily lime
water applied with q small sponge will
improve the condition. Only small
amount should be used, enough to moisten
the scalp without making it damp.
The business of curing dandruff is often
a slow one. but patience brings about its
just reward in a glossy. lken new growth

Plenty of fresh air and sunshine are
excellent torlics to be used in con1unct: on

pausing before windows where quantities
played. The rarity of these gems. which
range In colOring from a delicate violet to

the girl of ordinary means until the
makers of reconstructed gems brought 1t
within reach of their purse. and while

Tomatoes lend themselves to such a
variety OF forms In cookery as to be a
source of constant delight to any one
particularly fond OF them. Quite a num-
Der of dainty and nourshing luncheon
dishes have them for foundation. One
menu of this sort consisted of pineapple
cocktail, panned tomatoes, potato crisps
and red raspberry shortcake.
Pineapple Cocktail.
Shred the flesh of a ripe pineapple. chill
thoroughly, having first busted with con-
fecuoners' sugar. Serve in cocktail
glasses after pouring over each portion
a tablespoonful of maraschino and gar
nishing with a maraschino cherry.
Planned Tomatoes.
Cut good sized solid tomatoes in halves
Place skin side downward in buttered

each half, season with salt and pepper
and bake until soft. but not brown. Make
a creamy gravy of milk, butte, flour
and seasoning. pour over the tomatoes
