When the features are heavy. it is
certainly foolish to wear a lot of hair

to have few very light curls over the

If you are wearing any false hair at
all, be sure to keep 1t clean. The rea-
son that false hair is so easily detected
is that people neglect to wash their
artificial tresses, when they are cleans

hair and curls and never dry your hair

nor your own. Steam heat takes all
the life out of the hair. and makes 1t
impossible to arrange
These steam dried locks are the ones
that get nervous and make you so.

Dear Miss FaiI fax:

Most peoples hair is half dead
that's why it is so hard to arrange.
There is no use keeping any of this
dead hair, and as it is generally the
ends that are in this condition they
can be clipped off, or or should be
singed off This isn't very hard to do,
but you will have to get some one
else to do it for you
If the hair Is split at the end. and
won't curl or lie smooth, it is time to
SINCE it. First brush it very carefully,
part it in the middle and divide each
side Of the hair in sections Take one
section OF the hair, twist it tightly and
when it is almost as firm as a piece
OF rope brush it up with the hand, rub
bling from the end to the roots This
will make the rough ends bristle Get
lighted taper and have some one who
has a steady hand and some common
sense SINCE these ends off quickly Re-
member not to burn them; simply SINCE
them.
If you prefer to clip the hair, twist
the strands in the same way. rough ny
the ends and then clip them
Hair that has been bleached or dyed
needs to be clipped and clipped once a
month anyhow to restore it.

not go with f1ckleness of any sort,

of wasting its sweetness on any and

fashy clothes or money extravaganza
of any kind. It is cheerful and yet
serious, matter-of-fact and yet ro-
mantle; and, though all sorts of fool
ish, fluffy dolls may get the prizes
they strive hard enough to win, such
natural flesh and blood, wholesome
and sincere women are the ones that
get the blue ribbons in life's race.
Yea, even though they must weep
sometimes.
To have a comfortable, tasteful
home Is the next best bait for land
ing the matrimonial chance that's
worth while, for all worthy men wish
to know women in their own homes,
and since man is by nature more or
derby and luxurious than woman he
wants to see that home in shipshape.

10 TRANSFER THIS DESIGN.

Join the two at the top, allowing
the bottom tab to extend one-half
inch below the upper one.
Now cut a piece of silk four inches
long and three inches wide, round
the ends, and bind as you did the
tabs. Inset a bit of lace insertion
in each and pleat it through the CEN
ire, holding in place with a small
knot of folded silk. Fasten this lit
tie bow to the top of the two tabs
and also to the centre front of the
collar. This completes one set for
the silk blouse.
The same thing may be repeated in
lawn, dimity Or any soft sheer ma
terial to match gowns of the same.
Vary this design by squaring off
the ends Of the tabs and making a
double bow for the top, cdging the
under piece of material with fine lace
and decorating the upper portion
with a dainty spray of hand embroid-
cry done either in silk or delicate
contrasting shade. When lace is
used to edge the tie, omit the bias
binding. Satin and chiffon blouses
have ties of this description trimmed
with designs worked out in beads.
and sometimes are ornamented with
short tassels of fine beads
Ties and jabots that match the
blouse are worn with fat lace collars
and Dutch necks-

PILLOWS

-ORERUNNERS of the spring
II house cleaning are the pillows
that must be cleaned, and
which the careful housewife may
desire to wash.
The task is tedious, but it need
not be a hard one. Select clear,
sunny day. Empty the feathers or
down into a bag of cheesecloth, fast
en- tightly at the top and wash in
strong soapsuds. with a little am
monia, in the water.
Rub the bag between the hands,
moving it around in the water for
ten or fifteen minutes, rinse twice
in clear, hot water and, without
Squeezing, hang to drain and dry
in the sun and air. While drying
pull the bag apart several times.
When they are quite dry put them
in a larger bag and beat for perhaps
ten minutes with a raft whip The
feathers will be fluffy and like new.
The ticks should have been washed
meanwhile, ironed and ready to re-
ceive the fresh feathers.

FANCY
III EGK WEAR
BY EDNA EGAN.

wv ZEN planning your spring and
w summer wardrobe, make up
your mind to have set of ties
and fancy neckwear for each partic-
ular gown. The small pieces of silk,
linen, lawn or dimity left from maxi
ing the gowns will do nicely to fash
ion bows and collars that will be
necessary to form a complete set for
each frock.
In making these there will be am
pie opportunity to use up small
pieces of lace and embroidery that
have been left from gowns of other
summers.
Beads and hand embroidery may
also trim these dainty ties If you are
particularly fond of working with
your needle and care to put a touch
of individuality on your garments.
Wash-silk blouses will hold their
Each should have it's own collars and
ties, and of course more than one set
is required for each blouse.
If you are not wearing a Dutch
neck, make a standing collar of silk
cut on the straight of the material
and laid in fine lengthwise tucks. The
collar should be cut one inch longer
than the neck Size to allow for lap
ping in the back, and can be shaped
low in the front and high in the
back, If you prefer that style.
Hold the collar up with trans
parent bones tackled to each side of
the front and one in the centre of the
back
This style can be varied In many
ways by trimming or tucking, but
forms the basis of all high collars.
Decorate the front of plain col
lars with small jabot ties made of
silk that matches the collar.
A plain but dainty one is made by
cutting two straight pieces of silk.
one six inches and one 1-2 inches
long and IL inches wide. Shape
them both alike into long oval pieces
having the widest part about one
inch from the bottom. The shape
should be somewhat like a pear
Bind these with a narrow strip OF
bias silk. or If you have a contrast
ing color of silk handy, use that. In
the shortest piece set a bit of lace
insertion extending three inches from
the top and a bit around the curve
OF the bottom OF the tab.

D HE daintiest tea tray may be
fashioned from the lid Of a
IL cheese box in this manner:
First sandpaper the wood until 1t
is perfectly smooth and stain it a
mahogany color. The stain may be

Polish the wood with turpentine

Attach brass handles, which may
be obtained at the upholsterer' s

A round, embroidered dolly placed

of the tray.
