ENEMIES TO COMPLEXION.

A heavy lunch in the middle of the day will destroy any poor woman's complexion The rich can nap, and so give the brain rest. while the whole system of circulation aids the crowd ed ieestive apparatus: but the teach CT, typewriter. clerk. operator and the breadwinner generally is obliged to buckle on her harness the moment the noon recess is up.

TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW.

Keep the head clean, cool and bare as much as possible. Dandruff is d cayed tissue, and very unpleasant to have about It is the easiest thing in the world to get rid of it. Soap warm water and hair brushes are sure cures.
 There is nothing like cleanliness to make the hair grow. If there is not enough oil in the scalp to nourish the tresses supply the deficiency. Castor oil elycerine, palm oil. cocoanut. but ter, vaselne, meelted tallow, and eool old-fashioned lard are all excellent. If the head is soaked with bay rum every day it will be clean, and the hair will grow. unless the ground is barren.

THE CORSET AND
 ITS ADJOURNMENT

Every woman is intensely interest ed in the subject of corseting. par ticularly at the present moment when I the uncorseted figure is predicted i Speaking of the new fashion the ma i jority of women claim they could never go without a corset" or. per haps. would not" and yet a large number are willing to meet this new fad halfway. and many have already adopted the models having the tiny sirdle tops
 In selecting corset woman i should consider health first as a mis- fit corset is often ruinous to a wom- ans entire nervous system
 Lacins. however, plays an import ant part in the correct fit and how to put the lacers in new corset is worth while studying
 It is far more satisfactory in ad- justinG a corset to use two lacers, and particularly so if the wearer pre- fers to open them each time the cor set is removed-a practice that is al most general nowadays The following method in lacins will be found excellent:
 Place the two parts of the corset about three inches apart Beginning at the top put the ends of the lacers downward through the first pair of 1 eyelets and continue lacing as you would a shoe until the waistline .s | reached
 Without crossing the lacers again, next pair of eyelets. forming a loop on each side. Then tie the ends oe each piece of facing,
 Now begin at the bottom and work upward to the waist line In the same manner leaving two loops on the lower half of the eyelets. tieing the ends of lacers as above.
 The next step is to put the corse, on properly. Loosen the lacers to give considerable ease in hooking Some corsetieres advise hooking from the bottom upward, but few women can accustom themselves to this meth od
 Adjust the garter to the stockings and then proceed to draw in the bot tom lacers. When made comfortably tight tie the loops in a bow knot The upper lacers are then frightened and the loops tied likewise A deep breath will soon determine whether the adjustment of the corset is proper. if too loose. or too tight. the latter being the one serious condition to guard against.
 The don'ts about corsets and their wearing are equally important. Tn the first place. don't wear a corset not suited to your figure. or that is too high in the back Don't tie your corset lacer in the front
 Don't draw corset laces tight above

PRESENT STYLE EFFECTS
 GALL FOR FILMY LACES

Fashion continues to favor a mod crate use of faces in waists. neck wear and costumes. Light types are dominant and will continue to be so long as draperies and transparent effects are fashionable. No diminu- tion in their vogue is in sight at the present time.

 Orientals. too, are called for par ticularly in novelty patterns. The new hexagon mesh and the cluster floral designs in scalloped effects are liked. especially in emi-flouncings
 Friling or pleating laces and nets are in demand, as well as plain nets so greatly used
 Light flat metal and metal-run laces are liked. the high-class being the most favored Both gold and silver effects are in favor Metal-run novelties are preferred to the all met al
 Narrow St. Gall Venise faces are desirable, but their scarcity has been a drawback in their extensive use
 Many of the new waists are developed in black Chantilly and light black laces. Cream laces continue 10 priced waists.
