Washington, Jan, 11,--Soaring prices
Of foodstuffs are pictured in a new
set of figures compiled by the United
States department Of labor from its
its investigation of the cost of living
in 80 American cities.
Between August, 1911, and August,
1912, only two things decreased in
price. These were potatoes and sugar.
Meanwhile everything else advanced,
In Roston srloin steak had advanced
"a per cent; in Buffalo 10 per cent;
in Atlanta, s per cent; in Chicago, 10
per cent, and in Birmingham, 10 per
cent
But the figures showing the ad-
vance in prices during the last 10
years show the following increases:

order to keep your glorious crown
snow-white, milady must eschew the
too hot iron, her next door neighbor's
favorite tonic, or the shampoo that
was her favorite before her hair
struck its colors. White hair needs
to be treated with the utmost care
and consideration every minute of
ones waking hours, else 1t is quite
capable Of taking revenge,
Gray hair needs to be carefully ar
ranged, else 1t will not show to ad-
vantage. AS rule, a fluffy pompa-
dour is becoming to the elderly woman
with iron gray or white hair, although
some faces can stand having the hair
parted and arranged on the crown Of
the head in a mass Of fluffy rolls and
puffs. If you are the foolish woman
who brushes her gray hair back from
the forehead and twists 1t into a
tight knot at the back of her head,
let me beseech you to mend Your ways,
as it is absolutely necessary If you
want to look younger, not older than
you really are, that your silvery
tresses should be arranged modishly
The wise woman is very careful
when selecting her shampoo, as she
knows that an indiscreet choice will
give her "yellery, greenery locks"
which naturally she does not covet.
A special wash which the gray
haired beauty should make her own
has just come to my notice. 1t full
fills all the requirements of a white
hair shampoo and it is not only an
extraordinary cleanser, but will not
yellow or darken the hair.
This shampoo is made by beating
the whites Of three eggs with a fork
or patent egg beater until they are
as stiff as stiff can be. Into this
snowy mass, pour three teasponnfuls
of water, one teasponnful for each
white of egg. Holding the dish con-
tanning this shampoo in one hand,
bend over a basin filled to the brim
with hot soft water and rub the egg
mixture thoroughly into the hair, ga
thering the long ends of the hair upon
the crown so that they receive their
share of this cleansing BATH When
you have lathered and relathered your
hair for several minutes, call halt,
Now you must get rid of the suds,
which means that you must rinse and
rinse, and then rinse some more.
Three rinsing waters are none too
many and l would not say you nay
II you we're to use nine waters before
you considered this part Of the treat
ment as complete.
Yours for Charming Womankind,
MADAME QUIVILLA.

SOME FACTS WHICH GRAY
HAIRED WOMEN SHOLD KNOW

We should be thankful that we live
in q day when gray hair is appre-
Ciated. There was a time-and not
80 long ago-when whltened tresses
we're not even tolerated, to say moth
ing of being fashionable.
You would hardly believe it, but
the old beauty chroniclers say that
the women Of hundred or more years
ago were so intolerant Of gray hair
that they wore wig front-pieces over
their own hair, the rest Of the head
being covered with fearful and Won
derful caps. Think how warm their
poor scalps must have been.
Those Of You who own to silvery or
graying hair should certainly congrat-
ulate yourselves upon living in this
period, as it would be a great trial
to wear a wig constantly, or be con-
tinually flying from one dye to an
other, as was the fad up to a few
years ago-in the hope of conceallng
from the world that your Grown of
glory" was white, not black or red or
brown or golden, as was formerly the
case.
No one would now think Of denying
the fact that gray hair is usually vast
ly becoming to the most youthful face,
imparting, as It never fails to do, a
certain air of distinction. II you doubt
this, scrutinize yourself intently in
your mirror the next time you finish
powdering your hair for some costume
party, and you will be delighted with
what you see.
Gray hair is naturally even more
becoming to the elderly woman, If
that be possible, which goes to show
that nature knows what she is about.
A crown of silvery hair cannot fail
to refine and soften and indiyiduaize
the face of the woman past her first
youth. II you disregard this hint, and
make the mistake, as some elderly wo-
men do, Of darkening your hair arti-
ficially you will have ghastly results,
as the dark hair will not be in accord
with the color of the skin.
1t is very difficult to keep white
hair from yellowing or becoming
dingy or streaky as all you gray
haired beauties doubtless know In

ReDertOire,

AT seventeen years Of age Olga Steeb
had already memorized the largest
repertoire Of any musician in history.
At that time the record of memorized
pieces, which her father was keeping
showed 100 compositions, and con-
tained the complete piano works of
Bach, 359 numbers, and some forty
transcriptions of his organ and other
instrumental works by List, D'Albert,
Tausig, Busoni, st. Saens and others;
complete piano works of Weber, Schu-
mann, Chopin and Brahms; the best
Of Mozart, Hayden, Schubert, Handel,
Beethoven; quantities of the dainty
compositions Of the old masters Of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
and from ten to sixty compositions
each of Grieg, Raft, Rubinstein, Mac
Dowell, Liszt and other great modern
composers. This tremendous list in
cludes more than seventy sonatas and
twenty-eight concertos. Her feat, when
she played the Schumann A minor;
Chopin F minor; Liszt Il flat; Grieg
A minor; Beethoven G major; Schar-
wenka f minor; Brahms d minor Mo-
zart D major and the Tschaikowsky B
flat minor concertos in March, 1911,
in less than two weeks with the Ber-
lin Philharmonic orchestra remains
unrivaled in the history of
piano playing, The fact that this
feat was accomplished before Miss
Steeb was 81 years of age, makes it
all the more remarkable and it will
in all probabilities be many, many
years before another pianist of that
age duplicates the feat, Her marvel
GUS memory coupled with her enor-
nous capacity for work enables her to
keep in costant preparation a most
number of programs. She has
already given public performance of
some one hundred and fifty-four COM
positions, although but three years be-
fore the public.

They Have Not
Investigated
the Results

Washington, January 11.-Inquiry
at the office Of the Commissioner
General of immigration reveals the
fact that the bureau has made no in
vestigation whatever into the possible
danger to the existing standard of
wages and living on the Pacific coast,
from the expected immigration from
southern Europe when the Panama
canal shall have been completed.
Aside from planning to enlarge the
immigration station at San Francisco,
and to arrange that certain classes Of
newcomers may be taken directly to
the mainland instead of to Angel Is
land, nothing has been done in the
matter. No agents have been sent
abroad to report the probable number
and character of the promised arrivals
in California Oregon and Washington.
