THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

There is a qualification for ones self
and a charm for others In having dis
tinctive style about ones little accessor-
les and belongings, Of which l wonder
that more women do not take advantage.
When l receive an oblong white envel-
ope of certain kind Of linen paper l
know at once, without glancing at the
handwriting. that it is from certain
woman. For that woman has used that
particular style of notepaper ever since
have known her. Almost all my other
correspondents have run the gamut OF
color and style, but she has always chung
to that particular style, and thus has
given her correspondence charming dis
tinction. which at least enjoy.
This same woman always carries a. GER
tain style Of handkerchief-of fine linen
with q very narrow border and no orna-
I'D know Dora must be somewhere
around IL I found one of those handker-
chiefs in Hindustan," friend says.
To mark all ones belongings with
and rather pleasing fashion, but it seems
to me that thus stamping them with the
intangible but none the less unmistak-
able mark OF ones own individuality Is
an even prettier custom.
Ones possessions should be the express
sion Of ones personality, but with many
Of us our belongings are nothing but the
reflection of passing styles, the expression
Of some style dictator's personality got
ten together with absolutely no reference
to their fitness for our particular selves
or to their own intrinsic beauty or merit
There are innumerable directions In
which one can express ones personality
in ones belongings. The handkerchief
and the writing paper are merely illus
trative suggestions. In gloves. in hair
pins, In stockings, in neckwear, in count
less other details Of the costume and per-
sonal possessions, one may, If one wishes.
have distinctive style which shall stand
for ones self as surely as the embrOid-
cred or engraved monogram for ones
name.
Another great advantage Of such a
method besides the distinctiveness would
be the saving Of time. A very original
woman OF fifty-dve or sixty adopted a.
certain style of bonnet. coat and dress,
and henceforth had all her clothes made
on these lines. She said the amount of
time saved was enormous. She had only
to buy the goods and then turn them over
without q word to the milliner. tailor and
dressnaker. Now, not many Of US would
care to do that, but we might emulate her
time-saving by adopting certain definite
styles Of accessories, and thus eliminate
the time spent In selecting new styles
every year or two.

PROBLEMS PRESENTED
BY THE SHAMPOO

All sorts Of rules are laid down about
the washing OF hair, but the problem
must be solved by every woman for her.
SELF The method and frequency Of the
shampoo must depend on the nature of
her hair, her occupations and on the wa
ter supply.
Where the water is 50 hard as to require
. great deal Of borax. ammonia or other
water softener. and rain water cannot
be obtained, 1t is mistake to wash fine
hair very often. Brushing with powder
should sometimes be made to do the work
of a shampoo Very strong hair, how
ever. especially II it Is inclined to be over
greasy. is only improved by such addi-
tons to the water used for washing.
When the hair still has disappointing
look Of 9rayness after washing 1t Is usu-
ally because 1t has not been washed suffi-
GENTLY well. Many wopen who will in
variably wash a pocket handkerchief or
scrub their fingernails into a condition of
absolute purity will only half wash their
hair, owing to the mistaken idea that they
are taking particular care Of 1t. Three
distinct soapings and rinsings are not too
many to give 1t IL you wish your hair to
be glossy and fragrant.
The average woman rolls her hair in a
towel for a few moments while she slips
ON her kimonO after shampoo, and then
kneels before the fire to complete the dry
Ing process. Here, again. strong hair will
not suffer. but exposure to strong heat
Is very injurious to fine, dry hair. 20 in
telligent owner Of a valuable muf would
think Of putting 1t In front of a stove to
dry-yet thereabouts she will keep her
Infinitely more valuable hair after It has
been washed.
In summer weather an open window is
the best drying place; in winter a warm
but airy room
There used to be a popular superstition
to the effect that hair which was combed
while wet would never curl and never
grow longer. Probably 1t was invented by
is Impossible to comb damp tangled hair
without breaking it, and wished to keep
her daughter from the errors of impa-

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Now that the turn OF tho fashion wheel
has brought us to foulArds again. dress
makers everywhere are seeking to evolve
new ways ana means Of fashioning them
SO that they may not even hint Of the
foulards Of other days
In the illustration is shown the result Of
a clever designers thinking" Tho orig
inal is In reseda green with the wave-line
check in q darker shade and the plain
skirt matching the first named
The tunic IS fitted easily about tho hips
without any fullness and at one side 10
slashed. faced with light green foulard
and decorated with a series Of dark satin
onally across one side over a plated vest
side with a jabot, the plaits being held
down by a series Of small gilt buttons.
The narrow band cuffs straps over the
shoulders and the belt with it's stole ends
finished one with fringe and the other
with an ornament are of the darker silk.
OF these pretty simple frocks, one can
hardly have too many for spring, and
particularly this year, when the one-pdece
dress is so much more popular than the
coat and skirt suit. The majority OF
foulards are made In semi-tailored effects,
as they do not lend themselves very sue
cessfully to draperies.
Stripes are much favored among fo1-
lards, and some striking models have
been worked out combining the use OF
the stripes both crosSwise and length
WISE and also by employing two varieties
OF stripes. as, for instance, q hairiine
with q block stripe.
A model Of this sort that has been com.
mented upon has the crosswise stripes n
the straight, short skirt and the length
wise stripes used in the pointed tunic
while the blouse is entirely Of the length
wise stripe, made quite simply, with only
q single rever down one side attached
with a jabot that stretches across the
other side.
Another model has the horizontal stripes
formed into q broad band through the
center Of the skirt, while at the top the
skirt Is continued In two points. one UP
each side over the blouse, in which the
stripes are perpendicular.
Stripes at best are difficult to deal with
because results are apt to be one Of two
extremes-either monotonous or bizarre
but the new models seems to have solved
the problem of the happy medium.
The style that was started last year OF
the two-piece suit of foulard died nat

Wearing Flowers.

Almost every woman loves to wear
flowers. real or artificial. and there are
nearly So many ways Of wearing them as
there are flowers to wear, the difference
being that most Of the former are wrong,
while most Of the latter are right!
The wrong flower is hard to find, as
hard. It would sometimes seem, as the
right way OF wearing it. OF course. there
are certain blossoms which do not do
when worn with certain gowns because
Of size, or coloring. or scent; some are
sticky. some stain whatever they touch
and some are deliberately unbecoming.
Every woman must study tho subject
for herself and decide whether tho long
stemmed bouquet or the short, squat
cabbage head" variety 10 best suited to
her style.
A clever florist has invented q very con.
venient device to wear with the one large
blossom which has schoolgirl length OF
leg as to stalk. Long stalks are lovely
things. but very tiresome to wear. You

sti6 length Of wire to match the length
Of stalk, with a little clip to catch hold
once or twice on the way. When the
flower Is pinned into Place the pin deals
with the wire and leaves the stalk alone.
The result Is safety from swapping and
no impaling by pin or brooch, a fatal
process In juicy and brittle stemmed
cases.
The long flower. worn by itself or with
one or two others, Is always far more
artistic because 1t looks as IL 1t grew

we'll understand the revulsion Of feeling
on fashions part, weary OF flowers worn
in this mode for some time, and deter

ment more like the old-fashioned mascu-
line buttonhole than anything else, just
for a change.
Most women will appreciate this
change. for the little stiff bouquet, IL not
natural looking, is 1t least tremendously
smart. For day wear they are SO appro-

uitous coats and skirts or long paietots.

HEAD DECORATIONS
MORE ECCENTRIC

At the play the other evening the va
