THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To alIay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
ciaI treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

Who wouldn't undertake to own
pretty boulder cap and gown when
both can be made for about two dol
lars and a half expenditure? Since
manufacturers of lace have said good
by to the old handmade patterns and
have turned their attention to the
original designs that can be made by
machinery, we have a new order of
the filmiest and most exquisite laces
that cost hardly more than fine, plain
cotton fabrics. This adaptation of de-
sign to mechanical workmanship has
done wonders in putting pretty things
within the reach of even woman.
These laces are woven in wide fiounc-
ings as well as narrow edgings and
can be used like any other thin mate
rial. They have made a tremendous
advance in popularity this season.
The cheaper varieties of machine
made laces are not specially durable,
but they are not intended for gar
ments demanding durability. But with
a modest outlay one can buy the Ger
man Val and better grades of shadow
lace and be sure of their wearing
qualities. It is laundering that is hard
on flmy lace. 1t is so easily done
that garments made with lace trim
mings should never be sent to z

laundry but done at home. No starch
ing, no blueing is necessary. They are
washed as other laces are washed by
hand
The pretty nainsook boudoir gown
shown here is made up with sleeves
and trimming Of the least expensive
shadow lace which sells from twenty
five to forty cents a yard. About two
and half yards of it provide for the
sleeves, trimmings and lace strips in
the cap Five yards Of ribbon an
inch wide is needed and two yards
of baby ribbon. A yard of net ruch-
ing for the cap and five yards of
very narrow lace edging In one of the
simple Cluny patterns for the gown
are needed Four yards of nainsook
will be an ample allowance for the
body Of the gown. 1t is easy enough
to figure that this bewitching little
outfit can hardly be called an e0Srav-
agance by any one
The same design can be worked
out in wash silks and more durable
laces e it is not necessary to practice
strict economy. Even in these mate
rails so much prettiness can hardly
be achieved at so small an outlay of
money, in any other way

PLEASE HIM WITHOUT FUSS
Not Hard to Put Some Dainty Hand
work on the Front of Husbands
or Brothers silk Shirt.

A man doesn't like ':fussy' things,
but he'll appreciate a bit O. handwork
on the front of his silk shirt. Ask
him. No, dOn't-surprise him,
If you are afraid that you cant
make the shirt entire, buy one from
his haberdasher. The material best
suited for the purpose is striped
colored stripes about an inch apart on
a white ground-so be sure that you
get his favorite color Most men are
fond of lavender. Now stamp in the
center of the white ground between
the colored stripes, about two inches
apart, tiny designs not larger than
ten-cent piece down the front. There
is a tiny round five-petaled flower with
out foliage or stem and with a solid
dot to fill the center space where the
petals meet that is easily drawn or
stamped by even the novice, and looks
well If preferred, one can use the
more difficult bowknot or f1eur-de-Iis.
Pad the designs well and work them
in white silk floss. Floss the color of
the stripes may be used but it is
rather conspicuous. There is a quiet
elegance about the white on white
ground that most men would prefer.
It is necessary to embroider only that
part which shows when the coat is
unfastened. Of course, a tandem
broidered monogram upon the left
sleeve pleases the wearer still more

NOT BAD FOR AN AMATEUR
Youths Idea of Paying a Complaint
Should Have Given Pleasure to
Favored One.

He was a very literary young man
and never paid much attention to the
fair sex. But one evening, however,
he was calling on young woman who
had succeeded in attracting him as he
had never been before. He was ex-
tremely anxious to make good" and
his precious fnexperience in the line
OF love making he felt keenly at this
particular time.
Try as he would, he seemed IN
able to pay her any direct compliment
until he turned the conversation thus:
ct am rather more in favor of the
English than the American mode Of
spelling"
"Yes?" she returned, rather uninter-
estedIy.
YES, indeed; take 'parlour.' for in
stance; having u in it makes all the
difference in the world"

the hips in Fatima fashion and simply
knotted at the back
