CARING FOR
WHITE HAIR

& NOW=WHITE hair often has q
" great charm, but the locks will
not remain snowy for any length
of time unless they are tenderly
treated In the first place IL they are
regularly wayed-and they will look
much prettier for that treatment
the waving must be accomplished
with eurl-papers, kids or bits of tight
ly twisted white cloth, and never with
hot IRON as that yellows the hair
and utterly spois it's appearance.
l. Equal care must be taken when
having the white locks shampooed.
Avoid any sort Of dark soap. and do
the actual cleansing with CASTLE or the
white of an egg, being careful to rinse
the head in several waters so as to
remove every particle of the soapy
substance. A lemon squeezed in a
washstand- bowl full of water makes
an excellent rinsing for white hair, as
it adds to its snowy appearance.
White hair should be rubbed or
famed until 1t is thoroughly dry, and
not allowed to get dry by degrees.
simply from hanging unbound, or rap
/ idly, as by sitting close to hot fire.
White locks that are quickly dried
| look fluffy for a few days, but they
never look soft and of fine texture.

- HE only warm thing about the
negligee for mid-winter wear is
its fur trimming. Fur is a
- fetish this season and adorns
not only wraps and tailleurs, but also
ballgowns, nightgowns and negligees.
The fur-trimmed nightgown is the
coquetry-in-chief of boudoir garb just
now, and these models are included
In the trousseau of every fall bride.
Usually the fur garnishment on the
nightgown is very narrow line of
enthusiastically more than a fur
piping-at the edge of a V-cut neck
and abbreviated sleeves. The rest of
the gown is almost startlingly thin

the tub sort. Crepe de chine night
gowns strike the final note of luxury,
and such a garment, depending on
the sort of lace used in trimming
costs from ten to fifty dollars. OF
course If there is a touch of real err
mine, the price may be trifie higher
still.
The slashed nightgown Is fashions
latest caprice The foot OF the gown
is slashed up almost to the knee at
one side of the center front--and all
modish nightgowns now are extreme
ly long and extremely narrow about
the feet. measuring never more than
a yard and three7quarters around at
the hem. A slashed nightgown, in
mind at the moment, made part of a
very distinguished October trousseau,
every garment of which was fash
ioned by hand in Paris. This night
gown. of delicately sheer and soft
batiste. fell straight and limp from
a little square yoke of wide Irish
crochet banding, the banding passing
over the shoulders and across back
and front with mitred corners to give
the square effect. There were no
sleeves, the arm being left bare to
the shoulder; and front and back of
the sheer batiste gown were gathered
to the edges of the Irish crochet yoke.
This adorably simple gown, long
enough to lie an inch on the floor
around the feet, was edged with more

messaline ribbon sewed together with
strips of val entire deux. The eff
fectively placed lace wheels are made
of val lace edging gathered around
center medallions. The loose, lace
frilled sleeves and shower bows of
blue ribbon make the little sacque
very dressy and gay. The cap has
crown of allover embroidery and a
frill of pleated lace. The ribbon bow
is pale blue. matching the color of
the sacque.
Enchanting petticoats are sold es-
pecially for wear with these little
sacques, and If desired, one may
match ones sacque with petticoat
OF the same materials, making an en-
tire negligee of the combination. The
most distinctive petticoats of this sort
IRre of crepe de chine, trimmed with
lace and little chiffon roses. Deeply
vandyked lace edgings are used in ef-
fective fashion, the lace points dove
failing with the silk or falling over
frills of accordion plated chiffon. A
lovely negligee petticoat, made to or
der to match Paris sacque of wis
taria lansdowne, lace and clusters of
chiffon violets, is of crepe de chine
in the same shade with four ruff
fies of vandyked lace, each deeply
scalloped ruffie, falling over a plated
frill of violet chiffon. Clusters of
Parma violets, made of silk and chif-
fon, are caught against the lace ruff1es
here and there. Wistaria colored silk
stockings and buttoned strap slippers
OF satin in the same shade match this
ehtrancing negligee costume.
Special Footwear for the Boudoir.
Milady's smart little buttoned street
boots do not tread, for long at a time,
upon the delicately tinted velvet car
pet of her boudoir. The moment she
comes in, her maid, removing hat,
wrap, frock and other out-of-d door
paraphernalia, substitutes a cosy neg
ligee and replaces with boudoir slip
pers of one sort or another, the but
toned boots of the more formal cos
tune. These boudoir slippers always
match the negligee with which they
are worn, for it is one of the con-
conitants of wealth always to be able
to eft the picture" with satisfying
completeness. The high-heeled
French "mules" which cover the toe,
only, are excessively coquettish with
any boudoir costume. but they are
hard to keep on and many women
find them also rather difficult to walk
in, preferring buttoned strap satin
slippers with curved but not peril
ously high heels; or even heelless
boudoir slippers of the Oriental style
which may be had in any desired
color and made of soft kid.
Special Corsets Give the Negligee Nat
ural Lines.
If Milady expects to spend some
hours resting, in her boudoir, her
maid relieves her also of her expen-
s.ve. made-to- order corset which
gives such distinguished lines to for

of white crepe de chine and has a
deep yoke of allover eyelet embroid-
cry of very fine quality, This yoke
forms short sleeve and extends at
front and back to meet a wide en-
broidery beading, placed just below
the bust line. Through the beading
is run wide, soft messaline ribbon in

one side in a butterfly bow. Over

under festoon trimming of little
pink rosebuds. Still more simple is
a nightgown of glove silk, the supple,
sheer woven silk fabric of which en-
broidered silk gloves are fashioned.
This nightgown relies for its distine-
tion on the glistening beauty of it's
material, the flesh tints of the body

CONTROLLER CAUGHT FIRE.
There Was Small Panic on Crowded
 Ocean Beach Car.

Passengers on a crowded car from Ocean Beach which was due at New Lenden at s,15 Monday evening were given fright in Montauk avenue when the eenreller caught fire and the blaze aared up in the face of the mo- terEaan. One young woman on the front seat of the ear leaped or was thrown into the avenue where she fell at full length. She was assisted to her feet and was able to resume her seat in the car, much shaken, but appar- ently not seriously hurt,
 Others on board who thought the car was on fire attempted to jump out. and were only dissuaded from doing so through the presence of mind of 8 male passenger who shouted words of reassurance to the terror stricken and exhortations not to jump. Several ap- parently received nervous shocks. When the car reached the barn the passengers were transferred to anoth- CT. The motorman and conductor are spare men.
 Accidents of this nature have been frequent this summer and in one in stance resulted in several persons be- ing injured. It is stated that the con trollers on some of the New London cars are of an obsolete type and are liable to perform this stunt almost any time.
