NINE. MERRPS ADVICE
EXCELLENT IDEA FOR ENJOY.
ABLE HARVEST HOME PARTY
Combination Of Good Deed With an
Evening of Real Fun-Autumn Tea
Makes Most Charming In
formal Party.

A committee of ladies who we're
much interested in charitable insti-
tuition devised this method of giving
what was in reality only an old.time
pound" party. Only this affair was
at private home in the evening. and
it was almost Hallow Fen, so the dec
orations were black cats (because
once upon time witches we're sup
posed to go about in the guise of black
cats). Pumpkin Jacks" furnished
weird lights, with quantities of can
dies in vegetable holders and great
bunch of mountain ash berries was
tied to the door knocker because they
are supposed to be guard against
evil spirits who may prowl about on
Hallow Fen. Cornstalks, autumn
leaves and sheaves of wheat were used
as wall and corner decoration. Each
guest was asked to come representing
a country and to bring any offering
characteristic of that locality.
For instance, two Italian peasants
arrived, and with them came olives
(siX bottles) and a dozen packages of
spaghetti and macaroni. Those who
came from France had baskets of
grapes. The gay bevy of maidens
from Japan had tea, and their escorts
from China had rice and chop suey.
The Irish colleen and her boy Pat"
confided to the hostess that there was
a bushel OF potatoes out in the car.
Scotland had oatmeal Quaker Oats)
etc. 1t was very merry party, end
ing up, as everything does nowadays,
with dance to the music of the vic
trola. The next day automobiles took
the results" to the Home" and the
larder was most beautifully replen-
ished. One of the guests said after
ward that it was very satisfying to
combine doing good with fun, and she
didn't feel after this party like she
had wasted her time, as she did after
many affairs This is the season when
charitable work begins and | hope the
suggestions in this column will help
many of you to decide what to do and
how to do it. In the meantime, if any
of you are especially successful in
your undertakings, or in your private
parties write to me about them for the

DON'T BRUSH HAIR TOO MUCH
Gentle Treatment Will Do More to Re-
tain Beauty Than over-Visorous
Use of Toilet Articles.

Healthy hair grows five to seven
Nlches year and faster in warm
weather than in cold.
Overbrushing is one of the preya-
lent fallacies.
The hundred strokes" a day is fa-
tai practice for any one who would
have nice hair
Brushing should be resorted to as
polish not for cleansing purposes, and
then the strokes should be of the light
est character.
Likewise the benefits of the fine
tooth comb are a delusion, the coarse
teeth of the ordinary toilet comb an
swering every purpose.
Cheap brushes are to be avoided,
for the bristles are generally stiff and
prone to split, and the bristles should
be OF different lengths in order to
reach and properly polish the differ
ent layers of hair.
The indispensable quality of combs
is that the teeth shall be perfectly
smooth.
Even at that the comb should be
used most carefully, never being
drawn roughly through snarls, but
rather beginning the combing below
the tangle and working upward.
Parting the hair continuously in
the same place is not advisable.
The hair should not be unduly ex-
posed to the elements nor yet too
closely covered by heavy hats.
Sun and air baths are excellent.
provided they are not overdone.
But prolonged exposure to hot sun $
rays dries and weakens as well as
fades the hair,
Badness in women usually ifGic6tes

the way of correcting 1t unless the

A tincture made of one-half ounce

would advise friction treatments

PRACTICE TYING LILY BOW
II Is the Latest, and Really Deserving
of a Place in Every Woman's
Scheme of Costumng.

Do you know how to tie lily bow?
You should experiment with some old
lengths of ribbon if you mean to
make for yourself a velvet-crowned
autumn hat whose smartness will de-
pend entirely upon the poise of its
trimming. First, you take your five
half-yard strands of sash ribbon and,
sewing one end of each about the base
of a hats crown, draw the entire
number over its apex so that they
shall form a puffy appearance which
will not be pretty in the silk ribbon,
but which is lovely in new velvet
Having firmly twisted the whole mass
together with a bit of hat wire, run
the slenderest of wires along both
sides of each of the ends and then
twist them into shapes as nearly as
possible resembling the leaves of a
lily. One end should be bent so that

THAT RUG FOR THE BATHROOM
lis Apt to Present Something c. Prob
lem, but Its Solution May
Be Found.

Somehow bathroom rug is more
or less unsatisfactory proposition. 1t
is very likely because water will
splash upon it and damp towels and
unslippered feet insist upon seeking
its soft surface. And so. from sheer
sanitary necessity, the bathroom rug
must be washable; and from sheer
contrariness will slip and wriggle-at
least nine out of ten do.
But there is one kind that is more
quietly inclined than most, because it
is heavier--the old rag rug of our
grandfathers' days. Cut an oval from
some heavy washable material the size
you desire the rug when finished.
Denim would answer the purpose.
Then from strips of some heavy, soft.
washable goods make an even braid.
being careful to fold in the rough
edges neatly while plating the strips.
The braid may be as wide or as mar
row as you wish. and the strips cut
and white, have one strip of white and
two of blue, so that the rug will not
show the soil too easily. Do not have
the strips too long, and have one short
er than the other. This is to prevent
them from becoming tangled in the
plating. another strip can be attached
to 1t neatly and the joining will be
scarcely perceptible.
Braid only a short length at time,
sewing them to the oval piece of
denim, which forms the foundation, as
they are finished. Use strong linen
thread and sew along each edge of the
braid, concealing the stitches under
the loose parts of the braid.

SHIRTWAISTS FOR THE FALL
Just What is to Be "the Thing" ir
This Most Useful and Popu-
lar Garment.

The chic shirtwaist this fall will be
washable.
No starch" is the verdict for the
fashionable shirtwaist.
Many waists of chiffon will be worn.
Chiffon waists may be washed if
stiffened with a somewhat stronger
gum water, two teaspoonfuls of the
stock solution to a cupful of water.
Plain shirtwaists will be worn this
fall-linen, duck and gingham being
popular.
Extremely simple cuts are the rules
in shirtwaists.
Very close to the mans shirt is the
fall waist for women, elongated shoul-
der line and short yoke being the rule.
Cotton crepe, voile, satin and bro
caded waists must all have the short
york
For a plain tailored waist of linen,
madras, pongee or wash silk the yoke
may be omitted and the plaits at both
front and back run to the shoulder.
Stitching will be made prominent on
tailored waists.
