To begin with. If your hair is dry.
harsh, given to letting unlovely wisps
of uneven lengths stick out round
your face, and at the nape OF your
neck, do not shampoo too frequently.
Instead, shake equal parts of powdered
orris root and cornmeal into 1t once
a week, and then, with soft, fine in
fants' brush, take 1t all out again.
Some women use merely dry starch
and are satisfied when they see the
powder that went in so white coming
out a dark gray. They know that
their hair has been cleansed. This
process over. dip the finger tips in
olive oil or rub them along piece of
cocoa butter. Carefully and gently
massage the scalp till every part has
benefited by the emollient. Then,
take another soft baby's brush mot
the one that cleansed your hair), and
brush each OF the six strands into
which you have divided your tresses
many, many times.
The Irregularities OF length always
found when weak or neglected hair
is beginning to be strengthened by
care can only be dealt with, almost
hour by hour. after the following
fashion: Have innumerable tiny hair
pins matching your hair. II that is
dark, fine black pins will do. II It is
extremely blond, you should purchase
the tiny silvered invisible pins-they
can be procured. If your tresses are
any of the various shades OF brown.
use bronze or gold invisible hairpins
Curl the recalcitrant locks and then
skewer them TO the longer and more
solid masses with these pins.
or course. II you have TO make n
hasty toilet curling irons must be re-
sorted to. But soft piece OF old
muslin, or n kid curler-these are OF
various qualities, and the more ex-
pensive are many times worth the diff
ference in price-will produce more
natural curl and one that stays in
longer. Some people are able TO keep
these straying wisps in pretty curls
merely by steaming them. Others
dampen their fingers Just before they
begin to dress in the morning and
twist their little bits OF hair round
and round the dampened fingers, leav.
ing them thus twisted for half an
hour. This produces the most natural
and lasting curl OF all.

The Three lenses
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK.

N7HAT do we know of the wondrous scheme
w That sages and serfs have tried to know
Why do we look at the stars that CLEAN
At the end of sad days afterglow?
Why gaze we up and never below?
All Logic tries for reples-and misses
But this is so, and shall ever be so:
The Future applauds; the dead Past Kisses!
Future and Past-what an Unmatched team
Biting and fighting to and fro.
Always mock and menace they seem
10 the Present that sees them come and GO
The Present is neither fast nor slow:
She Is just dream like a sunbeam s kisses.
But she senses this, we know a foe
The Future applauds the dead Past Kisses.

the average man must have
these things:
1. A job.
?. place to sleep.
3. Some clothing.
f. Food.
g. Ambition
They are all necessary, and they
all figure in the Cost of Living.
The Job yields 80 much Income,
and takes so much Time. Out of
the Income the worker buys shell
ter, clothing and food Out Of the
Time he has left over after his
days work is done he buys the
possibilities of Ambition.
The Cost Of Living may be high,
and the way the government runs
affairs may be wrong, but the av-
erage man can do nothing in the
next "a hours that will materially
change either of these things.
But he must begin, say, about
a. M, and get down to tbrass tacks

that he may, have shelter, food and

And, besides this, he must spend

to be able to afford tomorrow, or
next year, the things that he can
not afford now

Mrs. Poet doesn't have time to
palpitate over anything but the
cook stove, and that the burning
subject of discussion in their
household is how they are to get
enough money to settle the butch

Also if you could look into the
breast of Mrs. Poet you would find
that she would like to trade off

his income fell below his expenses.
Now, the government did not
get him into trouble. He probablr
charges his misfortune to the Cos,
of Living. That is right But it
was the cost he bought that wreck
ed him, not the cost that was forced
upon him by any power except his
own bad judgment.
III.
/ talked with a hotel waiter
few days ago about the Cost of
Living. Here is this case:
Salary per month, Twenty eight
Dollars. Tips about the same.
The hotel gives him all his meals
except three per week,
He has held his job for twelve
years.
He is married, and has one boy,
aged nine.
Against this:
Rent, Twenty-Five Dollars per
month
Habit expenses, smoking a pipe
Insurance, Five Hundred Dollar
Endowment Policy, costing Tween
ty-one Dollars per year.
A wife, who handles all the mon
ey and keeps a record so carefully
that it balances to a penny every
montn.
This record shows two weak
points,
Too much Is paid for rent-near
ly 40 per cent.
An endowment policy is a mis-
take, because considerably more
straight life insurance could be
carried for the same premium.
But this record also shows some
strong points:
l. The man has kept his job con-
tinuously for twelve years.
2. He and his wife know exactly
what they do with their money
3. An examination of their record
shows that the wife has put into
the savings bank. In twelve wears,
a total of Four Hundred and Thir-
ty-eight Dollars. Small amounts
have occasionally been drawn out
TO pay unexpected expenses. They
have in hand now, Three Hundred
and Twelve Dollars as an emergen-
cy fund.
What does 1t all mean?
1t means this:
BY strict management. family
finance can beat the Cost of Liv-
ing.
1t can defy change of presidents
every four years.
1t can do business on little. and
still secure a savings fund.
Referring once again to news
items: Some CONSERVATION is ez-
pressed in high society because
there is to be a scarcity Of certain
expensive kinds of perfumery this
season. A small amount that for
merly cost Ninety five Cents is to
be One Dollar and Thirty five

won't hurt the affairs of the waite
