The old d of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers used to have
dark, glossy hair at the age of rs. while
our mothers have white hair before
they are 80. Our grandmothers used
to make a sage tea and apply it to
their hair. The tea made their hair
soft and glossy, and gradually restored
the natural color.
One objection to Using such a prepa'
ration was the trouble of making 1t,
especially as 1t had to be made every
two or three days, on account of sour
ing quickly. This objection has been
overcome, and by asking almost any
f1rst-class druggist for Wyeth's Sage

chlorinsted soda, which will not injure
white cotton or wool, but is fatal to
silk or colors.

WOMEN AT NEWPORT
DISCARD FACE POWDER

During my summers stay at Newport, .
writes Mae Martyr. II was greatly in
terested in the unusually charming ON
plexions of the women. / soon found that
these fortunate possessors of perfect COM
pleXions no longer use powder, since 1t
clogs up the 4kin pores and causes black
heads, wrinkles, etc. Instead they use a
lotion, made by dissolving A ounces Of
yTfInax iii either 1s-pint hot water or
1b-pint witch hazel, adding ? teaspoonfuls
giycerine. Where witch hazel is used the
lotion dries more quickly.
This splendid lotion clears and whitens
the skin. making it smooth. soft and vel
vety. It removes that shiny, sallow look
and does not show or rub off like powder.
1t is far superior to face powder, and a
perma1 int skin beautiffer.'

NIGHTCAPS

NM HAT woman is there who has
w seen the fascinating little
nightcaps that are now dis
played in the shops and has not
longed to possess one?
They are of net. lace and embroid-
cred or dotted swiss, and are designed
to protect the hair during the hours
Of sleep.
They are quite simple to make. Aid
that is required is an 18-inch squaE
of material and a yard or so OF ri T.
bon, with the addition. perhaps. OF a
few yards of lace edging.
They are made exactly in the same
manner as the old-fashioned mobcap
or the dustcap of a later day. Cut
a circle Is inches in diamter and sew
around it several rows OF narrow
valenciennes lace.
Run casing all the way around
two and one-half inches from the
edge, and through this run up mar
row ribbon, which is drawn I'm TO
fit the head and tied in a bow on the
side. That is all. The cap is ready
to wear.
A variation or this style can be
made by shirring the circle into a
band OF lace Insertion cut long
enough to fit the head. This has
lace frilling about the edge and a
folded band of ribbon that joins in
front with a soft fat bow or on the
side in many-looped chor.
One of the prettiest modes to be
seen is of dotted swiss. gathered into
headband which showed a garIan~
