FACTS ABOUT TIL: SHAMPOO
Really Simple Matter II One Only Will
Go Abc1t 1t in the Proper
Way.

II women would once realize what
joy and relief a shampoo brings at the
end OF q Journey, they would forever
cease their wall that hair does look
so forlorn for days after a shampoo.
This latter is so necessary There is
a jelly now made for the purpose that
forms a lather while wet on the head,
and gives one good wash for little
trouble. Then in a hotel or at home a
maid can rub ones hair dry in 20 min
utes with good hard rubbing, and if
the front is done up before quite dry
on curriers', it will dry and kink up
while one maps before dinner Or, If
carefully used, and not too hot, the
use OF a curling iron will not injure
the hair, If only used after a shampoo.
After q journey at IA hotel, such a
treatment brings much relief from
fatigue, and hat worn at dinner,
with the ends of ones hair curled up
around the face. will bring much
greater enjoyment than simly comb
ing the dusty hair The blower of the
vacuum cleaner is wonderful to dry
ones hair quickly.

The skirt of panne velvet of the
softest and most supple variety is

About all its fullness is arranged at

1t looks actually more like pair Of

The pannier and bodice in one,

arranged in two over-hanging pam
niers, broadening the hips and hang
Ing into the figure at the bottom
The bodice is cut with kimono

to be sure of this At all events, the
arm 's-eye is not disc rnble in it.
The sleeve is heightened until it COW

Except for the silk lining of the muff.

OF drapins in the best way. There is
pretty fichu of net worn under the
bodice. and a standing ruff about the
neck. A finish OF long loops of black
velvet ribbon in narrow width is
placed at the termination of the
neck ruff at each side.
One cannot help wondering at and
admiring the lovely turban which
finishes this toilette. A length of
soft fur, or plush, appears to be
wrapped about the head and provid.
ed with the narrowest of supporting
brims at one side. Poised at the cen
ter is the body and head of a wing
less butterfly made Of velvet The
audacity of wingless butterfly used
as an ornament would be unforgiv-
able except that the gorgeous crea-
ture In gold is the real butterfly,
which fact his velvet fly ship is pro-
claiming at the top of his-turban.
The pretty clothing of the feet is
to be noted. Silk stockings in black
and pointed slippers of black satin,
laced across the instep with narrow
black ribbon.
Not jewel is worn here. The
toilette is in fact a wonderful con-
ception and the smallest detail has
not been neglected.

rial put on smoothly. The crown is
small and puffed, and the odd standing
ornament Is made of hemmed strip
OF Grape wrapped about a supporting
wire and ruffled about 1t at the top.
The scarf is only plain length of
chiffon with its edges finished with a
wide border Of Grape. The ends are
gathered and finished with an orna
ment made of folds of Grape and fin
ished with bound scarf end of the
fabric. This is strip of the material
bound with narrow bias fold of Grape
like that which trims the muff.
A ready made muff bed lined with
black silk and covered with it as an
1nterlining makes the construction of
the muff a simple matter. Five deep
folds of Grape are placed over each
side and sewed down at the ends. A
strip bound of the material is brought
across the top tackled down one side,
covering the ends of the plaits and tied
IN knot with hanging end as finish.
The set Is as handsome as anyone
could wish and only ordinary skill in
sewing Is required to make it.

Friday evening, Mrs. Catherine Van

ated Charities of Milwaukee and presi-
dent of the State Conference of Charities
and Corrections, delivered very inter
estlng lecture dt the public library
building, being introduced to the audi
ence by Mayor H. G. CRUDE. The speak
er gave many interesting facts for con
sideratiOn in local charity work and
much excellent advice for the govern
ment of our local Associated Charities
which is doing much good in relieving
the wants of the destitute and needy in
our city. II is often hard prop osition
to determine just how far to go in help
ing those who nav ask help and
often the members are imposed upon, but
as usual thing, those in our city need
ing. id will not apply for it. until it be-
coInes absolutely necessary to prevent
Starvation. During the winter, the AS
sociated Charities has done a good, beni-
fichnt work j n quiet manner, and
much good has been done in helping
those who actually needed help. And,
in this connection, it might be said, that
it is often difficult to determine just
what to do in order 10 discriminate be-
tween the worthy and unworthy.
