When Travelling.

When actually travelling choose neat
plain suit OF gray whipcord, beige covert
coating or navy serge. any one of the
three being this season not merely serv-
iceable, as they always are, but in the
fore rank OF fashion. The skirt should
be trim. narrow and short. 1t cannot be
too trim, but both shortness and limp
ness may be overdone this season. There
should be no trimming, and plain pearl
buttons should be used. Crystal is more
ornamental, but not nearly SO useful, for
glass buttons not only break, but are apt
to cut the thread and come loose.
Add to this suit lingerie blouse or a
much-betucked white silk shirt with a
collar Of Irish lace, or you may, If you
choose, select blouse Of shantung. which
is becoming and rather more economical
than white for travelling.
Hats Of mushroom shape shading the
face, or sailors, and Also draped toques
are worn, but on a long journey most
women nowadays remove their hats and
wear only q scarf to protect their hair
from the dust. For this purpose the new
motor bonnets OF lustrous silk In neutral
colors are at once suitable and becoming.

IMPORTANCE OF TEETH
IN THE BEAUTY SEARCH

Considering the Importance played by
the teeth in the search for beauty, too
much Importance cannot be paid to these
first aids to pulchritude. The teeth spell
success or failure to the women who
would appear always fresh and attractive.
Not only is it necessary to strive con-
stantly to preserve the natural beauty of
the teeth, but it is equaTy important that
we labor to increase their wilderness and
general appearance by every remedy or
able to discover.
For keeping the teeth in good condition,
chewing dry toast, hard bread or crackers
is recommended. Coarse foods tend to
give stability to the grinders which
keeps them from early decay. For the
purpose Of dislodging, particles OF food.
removing deposits and other substances,
q good tooth brush is Indispensable The
brush with medium soft bristles is best
for the reason that unyielding bristles in
jure and inflame the gums, causing them
to shrink and recede. No particular shape
point to remember being that the back
and under parts of the teeth require as
much or even more attention than the
front
Of drawing the brush across the teeth
without alternating this action with a
careful up and down stroke Drawing the
brush up and down removes particles of
food that lodge tightly in crevices be-
tween the teeth.
Cover the gums as we'll as the teeth
during this cleaning process. Gentle
stroking is best for the gums. If they
bleed. rinse them thoroughly with heal
ing mouth wash SO they will gradually
become invigorated and hardened, thus
aiding in the fight against decaying teeth.
Exercise extreme caution in selecting
tooth pastes, powders or other dentifrices
on the market. One of the most univer-
sally popular ingredients in dentifrices is
powdered chalk. 1t is inexpensive. harm
less and effective, it's chief value being
the neutralizing of acids in the mouth
Among the simple remedies always at
hand none con be recommended more
highly than common salt. A strong sou-
ton of salt water is beneficial mouth
wash. and dry salt placed on the tooth
brush cleanses the teeth.
Borax is useful I'm that it tends to re-
move unpleasant odors from the breath
Dissolve two TO four ounces of borax. in
a pint of hot water and add a half tea
spoonful OF tincture Of myrrh or spirits
Of camphor.

FIounced Gowns.

The very latest feature is the founced
skirt, preferably Of old lace or embroid-
cred tulle. To meet the demand for these
filmy flounced gowns those who deal in
"dentelles" are advancing every conceiv
able form of embroidered net. There is
one with a vandyked edge that makes up
delightfully."-, and another is closely COW
cred with a scroll design.
Those who are happily possessed OF
store of lace are adjured to dive quickly
into their resources, for there has been
nothing like the demand that now pre-
walls for years. Modistes are obsessed by
the decorative attractions Of lace; no piece
is too small nor yet too long to be turned
to account by them. and they bring forth
every Establishment to induce the pos
SCISSORS Of rare treasures to let them have
the handling Of these hedrloons.

HINTS FOR
THE BEAUTY SEEKER

Dry cleaning the hair has become SO
much a part Of the toilet that many Of
its ardent devotees wonder how they
ever managed to worry along before
the days OF the dry shampoo.
This vastly popular substitute for soap
and water is the special delight OF the
woman whose hair is inclined to be damp
or to become oily few days after the
wet shampoo. great many women find
weekly shampooing Is Injurious to their
scalp in that 1t causes the hair to fall
out in great quantities. As q rule no
amount OF washing will injure either the
scalp or the hair any more than it in
jures the face. providing, Of course, that
the purest of soap Is combined with
strictly soft water, the scalp and hair
of the soap remains, and a softening To-
ton or tonic is applied to the scalp i'm
mediately afterward. This tonic has the
same effect upon the scalp as an appli-
soap and water bath, and is equally
as important If the hair is to be kept
In good condition.
1t is not enough to apply the tonic. but
it must be well massaged into the scalp
with the tips Of the fingers in order that
every pore may be nourished and re-
freshed. Afterward, a good brushing to
bring out the sheen Of the hair and to
distribute It's natural oils Is essential
AS to the dry cleaning, II properly
suits as the wet shampoo. with the ad-
vantage of requiring only a short time
no accomplish For the woman who is
unexpectedly invited somewhere and who
wishes to appear at her best. for the
woman who is indisposed and fears to
subject herself to danger from cold or
undue exertion. or for the eleventh hour
girl. this method Of Frightening up the
hair Is unexcelled.
To cleanse the hair thoroughly it should
be brushed successfully from partings
made In all directions on the scalp. Be-
tween each stroke, dust and foreign par
ticles, such as fakes of dandruff,
should be removed from the brush so
part. II the brush becomes dark and
oily. wash 1t out before proceeding fur
Their. 1t may be necessary to use a clean
brush half dozen times during the
stroking. SO that If you have more than
one brush you can leave one 10 dry while
through the brush each time 1t IL run
through the hair, afterward wiping the
comb clean with a towel.
Such stroking removes dust and dan
druff, increasing the natural softness
which is the result Of cleanliness Other
wise the natural oils Of the hair, mixed
with foreign substances. make the
strands sticky and unruly.
AFTER the Ory cIednlng good dry
shampoo may be acquired. One of the
best Of these Is made by mixing four
ounces Of powdered orris root with one
ounce Of talcum powder. Sprinkle the
powder through the hair close to the
scalp. rub the fingers through to distrib-
ute it the more evenly, and allow to
remain several minutes. A good way il
to dust the powder on at night and brush
it out in the morning. 1t absorbs SUI
perfiuous oils. giving the hair a thick,
fluffy appearance. For this reason It is
especially valuable to those whose hair
is inclined to be heavy. pasty or oily.
If well brushed out with a medium stif
brush II is entirely harmless, being a
cooling and cleansing agent to the scalp.

A Basque Suggestion.

The basque is q feature Of all the fanci-
full coats. and 1t would not be surprising
If this detail is considerably developed
as the months go by. The basque IL even
made detachable and worn with tailored
gown OF braided navy serge, a device
much liked by women who disapprove OF
going out without coat.
At the best II Is rather a clumsy make
shift. though 1t did make the robe like a
coat and skirt costume when out OF doors,
and. being easily removed. did not mar
gown.

The Short Coat.

Though there are an infinite variety of
short coat forms all may be practically
resolved into two. The first Is very SIM
pie and very practical: 1t fits closely and
buttons tightly down the front with three
buttons: it has a small collar and lapels,
and a mans sleeve with q neat cuff. and
It's only trimming consists Of fine straight
rows OF narrow braid.
Very complete Is the contrast which this
garment offers to the short coat of tai
fetas. which comes little below the waist,
Is full and rounded and rufned and al
ways characterized by elaboration OF
style.

Packers continue to complain of the
slow movement of dressed beef at con
suming points, buyers have orders to
bear down on the market till further
instructions are received. They say
that pork lions can now be put on the
tables Of consumers around 1914 cents
per pound, which shuts out beef in
many cases. Steers of a class not
suitable for feeders, and below the up
per crust in quality have accordingly
suffered % to so cents in the last two
weeks in the way of price cut. Good
to choice feeders are in demand, at
$3.50 to $6.25, because a good many
dealers have faith in higher prices
for beef cattle in the spring. Prime
heavy cattle have good outlet, up
to the rather limited supply of same
but the market on the middle class fed
steers has eased off steadily for two
weeks. Even at that, however, the
cattle marketed so far have made
money for the feeders. Hurry of feed
ers to cash in lends credence to the
belief that receipts during February
will show a larger shortage than Jan
uary has, in which case prices might
recuperate little. 1t depends a good
deal, though, on the volume of re.
ceipts of hogs and sheep and lambs,
