USE ALCOHOL FOR THE HAIR
Much Better Than q Shampoo After
One Has Got Through Hot and
Dusty Journey.

If the hair is dusty and unmanagea-
Bile after a journey of any sort. try
using alcohol to make it fluffy. The
alcohol will dry in few moments and
the hair will be ready then to arrange.
Many women who have taken a rail-
road journey of several hours dura-
ton to a wedding or dance have found
their hair, owing to the heat and dust
of the journey, quite heavy and dirty,
and have despaired OF getting it in
shape in time for the festivities. A
shampoo takes too long to be INDUCED
in while one is dressing-and some
times it leaves the hair too fluffy for
immediate managing.
To get back to the alcohol treat
ment. Part the hair and rub little
alcohol on a piece of gauze on the
scalp until it is free from dust. Then
rub the hair about the brows and ears
and the nape of the neck with the al
cohol. OF course, it should first have
been brushed as free as possible from
dust. Then let the hair hang loose
" until the alcohol has dried out The
hair will be light and fluffy.

POSTCARD SENT NEWLY WEBS

From Sender.

Denver.-A wooden postcard nearly
Stwn feet long and more than has1 !
foot wide and highly decorated with
instructions TO newly married couples
was handed to E. C. Bennett, clerk at
the Kaiserhaf hotel, by the letter car
rier when making his usual mail de-
livery.
1t was addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy d. Lee gof Pueblo, who were here
on their honeymoon. The couple had
departed, however, before the card ar
rived. Clerk Bennett tried to put it in
the mail box and it wouldn't go. Then
he hung it up over his desk. That
caused so many people to make use
less remarks that he showed it undeT
the counter
Then some one told him he was En-
terfering with the United States mails,
so he took it out again and handed it
to- the telephone operator, who wrote
another address on it and forwarded
it after the happy couple.
One motto said: May all the
troubles be little ones" Another said:
BE good To one another" Another
card asked the clerk, in the event ne
could not deliver the postcard, to re.
turn to the couple addressed at Rose
lawn cemetery, Pueblo, Colo, as that
would undoubtedly be their stopping
place in the end
The card had thirty-foIr stamps on
it and numerous pictures of heants,
cupids and other designs which con
veyed the impression that the parties
addressed We're in a blissful state OF
mind.

Didn't Want to Be Overheard.

Not long ago the Washington po-
lice were set to work collecting GER
tain information for a census of the
city. Each officer was directed, in
every case, to seek data desired from
the head of the house he visited.
When one big copper rang the bell
of certain establishment a timid lit
tie man, with sparse whiskers, an
swered the call; and, when the officer
in a tone like that of the Bull of Bash
an demanded to see the head of the
house, the little man whispered:
"Sh! You needn't shout SO! am

You can never make a success ct

cold all your cakes and pies will be
spoiled, You can always test the heat
by putting a piece of white paper on
the oven shelf that is to be used and
leaving it there for two minutes. II
the paper comes out still white or
very slightly brown at the edges, then
the oven is cool. If the paper comes
out a good deal Drowned, but not
burned at all, then the oven is mod
crate. If the paper comes out brown
all over and blackened at the edges,
the oven is hot. If the paper burns all
to cinder, then the oven is much too
hot for any use.
The following is a good recipe for
cleaning black wooden clothing: DIS

Gray in all possible shades is one

gray is being most successfully com

shade Of smoke gray is being very

with bands of smoke gray fox. All
shades Of rich blue are in demand in

these materials are trimmed with

To Save Stockings.

To save silk stockings, first buy
them large, almost full size larger
than you may wear in a cotton or
Isle stocking. Next darn loosely the
heel and toe and places for garter
catches, all before wearing the stock
ings. This prevents holes from ap-
pearing in heel and toe and the knee
from having runners. Rinse out in
cold water after each wearing, and
the stockings will last two or three
times longer than when these pre-
