SCALES ON SCALP
 PAINT LII ITCHING
Scratching Caused Sores. Hair Came Out in Large Quantities. Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Scalp Sound and We'll.

Muskogee Okla.--"For moro than year I was afflicted with scalp disease There were large white flakes or scales which caused the painful itching and my scratching would bring blood and cause sores. My hair came out in large quantities and what remained sUas thin, dry and lifeless. My temples were completely bare. During this time I tried everything that I thought would help me but nothing seemed to do any good. < A friend advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent and got a sample of each which I tried as directed, and I truly say that the first application did me good. afterwards purchased a ftill-sized cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Oint- ment. I bathed with Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura Ointment. At the end of about four weeks my scalp was sound and well and my hair had thicl<ened up and grown wonderfully in such short time am proud to say that am entirely cured of my scalp troubles and my bare temples have a full growth of hair again."

MADE MOST PRETTY TEA TRAY
Economical Way by Which Needed UtensiI Was Made to Do Duty
 for the Household.

A novel and most economical way to make pretty tea tray was discov- cred by a girl who is very clever with her wits and her fingers. She first purchased for 40 cents large oval picture frame from a secondhand store, securing very good bit of natural old woodwork. Then with a bottle of stain, some sandpaper and a little varnish she polished up the wood to look like new, then screwed on two brass handles, one at each end, afterwards cutting a piece of pretty cretonne the same size as the glass, and pasting it smoothly where the picture would ordinarily go. Gov ering It with the boards that belong to the frame, tackled securely into place, the entire back was then cov- cred with a piece of felt, and she found herself possessed of a most fetching tea tray, which in the shops would cost from s5 to $S

The inexpensive furs, which are u9ed for millinery, make possible hats 4ppropriate for children. They are u8ed to make the entire bodies of close-fitting, cozy-looking shapes or are combined with velvets or satins for this purpose. No one will care to Inquire too closely into the source of gupply of these furs, but the curious may take it for granted that well cared for bunnies furnish the soft white skins that are used so success fully. Dyed and clipped and rechris- tened these belts go to make up more pretentious and very handsome mil Ilnery.
 The majority of children's hats are In white, many in chinchilla effects and few in black. There is little departure from the cloche shape with very good reasons. This shape is sim pie, it fits we'll and is becoming More than all. it is comfortable.

WASHING CURTAINS AT HoMs
Results Can Be as Good as If They Are Sent to the Laundry If
 Right Care Is Taken.

Those who dwell in large towns and cities find it necessary to con. stantly hang clean curtains at the windows. The house then appears fresh and bright within and from with. out. If curtains are sent to the laun. dry they are a heavy drain on the housekeeping resources. When made of madras, swiss, muslin or dimity, they can easily be laundered at home
 Begin by shaking them we'll out of doors. In this manner all the superfiu, ous dust can be removed.
 Prepare a tubful of warm water in which half cake of white soap has been dissolved, Souse the curtains up and down in this. and when the wa ter becomes black change to a second tub of suds. If the curtains are very much soiled they will require a third tub of suds. Allow them to remain in this for an hour.
 Rinse in two tubfuls of clear water the last of which should have a small amount of cooked starch and a few drops of bluing added
 Hang in the sun to bleach and dry thoroughly before removing them from the line.
 Sprinkle well and fold, that the dampness may be evenly absorbed To successfully iron long curtains, place blanket over the kitchen ta ble and fasten a clean sheet over this Pull each curtain into shape before ironing. Nothing looks worse than curtains which do not hang evenly
 Use hot irons and rub them over paraffin wax to prevent the starch from sticking.
 First iron the plain portion of the curtain and then the frills.
 If the curtains are plain. iron the deep hem first, so that it will hang straight.

FAv0RS ONE-PlECE DRESSES
School Principal Insists Garment Is the Best Possible for the
 Growing Young Lady.

The head of the biggest trade school the present style of one-piece dresses is the ideal costume for growing girls.
 '"rhe short-waisted style of dress, with it's wider girth at the high waist fine and it's general looScIess, hang ing straight from the shoulder, Is the ideal sort of .frock for a young girl to wear" the principal said. Tt is not only comfortable. neat, easy tc put on and simple and pretty in cut but 1t has another immense advan tage, bigger than all of these, al though these should be sufficient tc recommend it to mothers.
 ''It is cut in such a way that if a girl is taught to carry herself upright walking with her body held properly and sitting erect and without slouch ing, she need wear no corset. For a girl who must have room to grow and to breathe right. plenty of space is a necessity, and corset is not de sirable.
 "The philosophy of the dress is this: With long-waisted dress, as when a girl wears skirt and shirt waist, the skirt is fastened tightly around the smallest part of the body. This prevents free breathing and with this style some kind of corset is 6 necessity
 "But with the waist line higher and as large around as the largest part of the body, as is shown in what is called the empire style of gown, the unpleasant small-waisted effect the arms and looks we'll. If the girl waist may be large, but it is not no ticed. The skirt hangs in straight lines from the larger line just below the arms and looks well. If the girls keeps her body erect and stands or sits in graceful, even position, the effect is excellent without a corset The plan would encourage girls to take care how they stand or walk or breathe and this itself would be good for them"

Sailor and Other collara-

The sailor note is visible in great many of the devices by which we light. en the severity of the autumn tailor made. A sailor collar carried out in spot embroidered net, inserted near the edge with crochet, and edged with the fine narrow Valenciennes, looks very charming on a well-cut coat and skirt. So do the high "rAiglon" col lars, their double stand-up portion car ried out in fine embroidery, which is softened by fine ruffies of cobweb lace beneath. A very high collar with a slight rollback, reminiscent of Portia and the Medicis in one, is becoming, and so are the turndown collars with square rabats of lace and net beneath them.

holly, are used These prove fascinat- ing to the youthful owners. But most of all they are captivated by tiny fur heads that look like diminutfve foxes, with their bright and beady artificial eyes.
 The all-fur hats are prefaced with shirred messaline ribbon or silk When fur and velvet are combined, the crown is usually of fur and the brim a puff of velvet which extends into the crown. providing a facing for the under brim.
 There are variations in the brims of the cloche shapes and there are few shapes quite different from them, but these are not just as good in every particular.
 Fur hats are very comfortable for wintry weather. Neck pieces and muffs to match them fortify their lit- tie owners against the sharpest cold. Little promenaders so clad are a de- light to the eye and usually proud of their furry accessories One may see them walking with quaint dignity, de- lightfully conscious of their splendid rabbit skins.

A Budget of Queries.

Will you please tell me if it is nee essary to thank or express your pleas ure to a young gentleman each time after he has taken you to place of amusement providing you have been going with him steady?
 Also, is it proper for a girl of eigh- teen to allow a young man to kiss her good night if she has been going with him steady for only four months !?
 Should gentleman ask to call on girl each time he wishes to see her. or is 1t girls privilege to ask him to come and see her.-E. s. H. and P. J. H.
The Sentinel=record., 1912-12-08

It is always polite to thank a per son who has shown you any attention, even if that person be a well-known friend. I consider it decidedly im- proper to kiss a man good night, and ungentlemanly in him to ask it. He has no right to your kisses and will respect you much more if you hold yourself in reserve. It is not neces- sary to ask permission to call every time, for among good friends it is un- derstood that they are welcome.

Faded Frocks.

Some one may have a pink cotton or linen dress td good condition. but badly faded If so. put piece of Tur- key red cheesecloth in water and boil until the color is the desired one. The dress will dry bit lighter than when wet and will leave an even color all over, says the Modern Priscilla. One eighth of yard of cheesecloth is more than enough for a dress Navy blue cheesecloth may be used in the same manner to freshen the color of a light blue dress. It is best to try a sample of material in the dye to get the right shade before putting in the whole dress.
