KEEPING FAIR HAIR FAIR

IT DON'T wonder you afe troubled. IL
 is most annoying for you to discov- I CT yolir pretty fair hair is getting darker and darker, said sympathiz- ing adnirer to a blond beauty
 However, cheer up. for think you'll ind if you shampoo it regularly with camomiIey tea it will keep it's pretty bright tints for quite 2 long time.
 First of an you must wash your head in the ordinary way to get it quite free from dirt and grease. If you don't find it too irritating to the skin a good quality of seft soap is as nice as anything to use-it makes a splen- did 1ather. especially if you are able to get rainwater.
 Be very careful to rinse all the soap out of your hair, and then just dry it enough to prevent it's dripping. Next pour half a pint of camomi1e tea all over your head, rub it well into the roots and drench the long hair with it. Dry your head if possible in the open air.
 The camomile tea not. only preserves the color, but makes the hair ever so soft and glossy. It is a splendid tonic too and very cheap.
 Before beginning to wash your head you must start to get the tea ready by putting a good handful of camoniIe flowers into a jug and pouring half pint of boiling water over them; then let the brew stand while you are wash ing your head. and afterward strain off the liquid.
 If you had a great rope of hair in- stead of that fascinating little bit Of fluff should tell you to use double the quantity of the tea.
 By the bye, do you know, my dear, that, although fresh air is splendid for the hair, sunshine is fearfully bad, as it takes the color out and turns fair hair rusty. So don't let me catch you going without your hat this summer.
 No, dear, don't use peroxide to keep your hair fair; it is really a bleach and will turn your hair canary color in time if you are not very careful It looks so artificial besides
 I've known very muddy hair bright ened by rinsing the head after it has been shampooed with breakfastcup- ful of cold water to which a dessert spoonful of pure peroxide has been added, but shouldn't advise any one to try 1t, as you never know how if will affect the hair.
 There may be no apparent difference or there may be really startiing change

CLEANING YOUR TRINKETS

II EWELRY does not need to be clean
 ed very often Indeed. too much rubbing and securing would be likely to spoil it. but once or twice a year you should have cleaning day and burnish up every trinket in your pos session
 Start by putting aside all the pieces that have pearls in them. for pearls are very delicate and need special treatment.
 Give each article a good rubbing with a soft cloth If the gold or silver mount is very dull or stained you may use little plate powder. but this is not necessary in a general way
 Have ready a small basin full of warm soapsuds. Drop the trinket into this. let 1t soak for a few minutes and then scrub it brisk1y with a tooth brush A tremendous amount of dirt will come away. making the studs quite grimy.
 Rinse the fzanlet in clean. warm wa ter and dry 1t thoroughly. working into all the little corners. An old silk hand kerchief does excellently for this pur- pose.
 drops of spirits of wine. dip another toothbrush into this and scrub the trinket with it. The spirits of wine will take away any soap or powder that has clung to the surface and will make the article quite clean
 Dry the trinket, drop it into a pile of sawdust and work 1t about there with your fingers till it is so completely dry that the grains of sawdust will no longer stick to it; then very light rub with a. cloth sor leather will make it twinkle as brightly as 1t did when you first saw it in the jewellers case.
 Gold and silver, real stones, imitation stones, bead chains and enamel work can all be cleaned in this way, but pearls and pearl beads must not be put into spirits of wine and the mounts must not be rubbed with powder Wash them first in soapsuds and then in clean water and finish by polishing them with a soft cloth

1913 are caricature1 proof By this I mean that however you may exagger- ate any given point your design will still be within the limits of wearability.

 The afternoon dance frock Is a little extreme.i It is s1ashed to permit of the strenuous courtesy in the tango. White stockings beneath some of these slash ed petticoats are rather striking, but a deep fall of fringe pretends to make the slash a more modest affair.
 The newest shirts to wear with the, eponge skirts are those in pique. The new pique is only a distant rela- tive of the stiff pique of other years, as; it is delightfully."- soft and supple. The shirt is masculine in cut, with the exception of the neck, which is iu- variably finished by one of the becom- ing rolling collars which owe their origin to the days of Marie Stuart The correct finishing touches are ada ed when sash Of plaid ribbon and a cravat to match are adjusted.

SUGGESTIONS
 FOR PIcNICKERS

TKSHERE are five requisites necessary
 for a picnic during the summer. They are fine day with no signs of a storm to mar one's peace of mind, agreeable company. delicious edibles, not too much luggage, and last but by no means least beautiful spot for the feast
 In selecting this spot one should not bs begui1ed by the pictures queness of a woodland broolxside with It's nodding ferns. That delightful corner is of- ten the happy hunting ground of the busy mosquito. arch enemy of picnic lovers. A dry. shaded spot on the out skirts Of forest or under a big tree atetlae end of a meadow is not often haunted by the enemy.
 As to company each picnic giver nust judge for herself. About edibIes the time and the place have much to do with the contents of the picnic bas- ket, but a few general sugge sffons may be of service. In the first place the eatab1es must be well balanced. There Plenty of sandwiches containing cheese meat or egg mixtures should be taken along As to cakes leave at home those that are likely to crumble or be- come sticky on ghe journey, such as layer cake and eclafrs- Avoid all fruits as Apples, bananas and other dry fruits are most appropriate. If you have a refrigerator basket you will be able to carry such good things as salads, cream for coffee or tea and other per 9shable edfb1es. Chilled coffee topped with whipped cream makes a delicious drink if the day is hot If the coffee is bottled and packed snugly against the ice compartment SO that 1t will not be aolted .it win be thoroughly chilled by serving time
 Tin boxes in which crackers come make excellent sandwich receptac1es. The following list Is well worth con sultdng when the family Is planning a picnic outfngs
 Plates. cups, knives, forks, spoons, napkins, jelly glass or tin box for but ter.- salt shaker. pepper shaker, tin cracker boxes, cake box, glass bottles fer cream salad dressing etc; box for stuffed eggs or meat loaf.
 BesfEhes these one must remember to carry along tho can opener and a workable corkscrew and few matches These are trides that hardly seem encs has proved that when forgotten | there 1s much regret.

long It's day. AS the politician whose features do not lend themselves to caricature never really finds his way to the heart of the people. so the clothes which cannot be jeered at in the comic papers seldom settle down to a long lease of life.
 Some unexpected kink in feminine human nature makes it side with the weak and oppressed The more man may scoff and belfttIe the more will a woman cling to the victim of his de- rision with affectionate perversfty.
 The crfnoline enjoyed a long period of popularity chiefly because famous artists and a host of other people less famous spent so much time and talent making fun of 1t. If mankind would only realize that no woman can be laughed out of her follies 1t would change her tactics. But the sensible gentlemen do nothing of the sort, the weapon of ridicule still satisfies them and women go on wearing freak clothes.''

CHILDREN'S PRETTY
 OUTDOOR GAMES

H ERE are a few suggestions for Out-
 door games that the children win just love to play. Not many people fn this country know the game called King Caesar,"s although in Marrio England 1t is a. favorite with the kid dies. It Is really very good sport ana is played like this:
 Mark off a base at each end Of yoap ground. Choose one player for Egnr Caesar. He then takes his stand be- tween the two bases and tries to touch those on the shoulder who rum acroeu. When three are touched he nnust SO back to one of the baseG. Next, those running across must not only Ds touched by the three who have them selves been touched, but must be heid until one can touch fhs others head and say '1 crown thee, King Caeaarss and this must go on until all arc caught. No one must return to the base that he has left unless he ts hop ping.
 The TurnpfIee Game.
 This may be played with Q hoop o9 ball and by any number of player. The turnpike is made by brIciB cl stonss on the ground about sIx fnches apart and for as long a distance al preferred The first player tries ts ball a deft roll that will send cline article right through the turnpnEs without touching a stone.
 The other players range Shen1aelPeg mt equal distances from the end oG kho pike, forming sides, and rush for tl1e bah or hoop as it emerEes. The ons getting 1t first now tries his lucL co sending it through the narrow Ians cE turnpike. If the player falls Go put fhs -1travelers" as the hoop or ball is call- cd, through the lane formed by tho stones Or # it touches the stones be fs out of the game At the close the sfde having most players left has won the game
 An Animated Spelling Beo.
 A living spelling bee Is good fun play ed in this way: Each child rspresents a letter of the alphabet ana carr5er round pIacard, on which 6 large A o1 Q or T, as the case may be- ifs printed When the word to be spelled is give1 out the various letters come forwarl and range themseives in the proper order. with p1acards heId slightly for ward in a straight row. Some mis- takes are made, of course. but thesl add to the fun of the occasion cIaPtrap.
 | C1aptrap Is 8 fine game for ntEle children either in or out of the house- A girl puts her hands under her apron cloak or cape, holds up one or more fingers inside 1t and says: @1Iingledy naingIedy, clap c1api How. many Hn- l gers do hold up2'' The others sllese one two, three four or five. as they think most likely to be right. but it is 1 very rarely that the guess proves cor rect If not, the guessers pay @ for- felt, and the player, changing the mum Der, begins again.
