For Falling Hair

My Dear Miss Doom:
have often read your answers to
questions and have thought them
very good. Today I ask your aid
Can you tell me how to stop my
hair from falling out; also how to
prevent the hair. at thirty-seven
years, from becoming gray?
ANNA S.
Scalp massage will arrest falling
hair almost Immediately. Massage
Is accomplished by kneading, not
rubbing the fingers over the scalp.
Hold the fingers firmly on different
portions of the scalp and bend the
knuckles so that the scalp moves,
but the fingers remain stationary.
This Is continued all over the head,
the operation taking fifteen minutes
or more.
am told that the following is a
good tonic: II
One pint bay rum, one-half pint
clear alcohol, one-half ounce castor
oil, one-quarter ounce carbonate
ammonia, one-half ounce tincture
of cantharides. Mix thoroughly and
massage into the scalp at night.

High and Narrow Hats
for Women This Fall

Fashion has taken. a sudden turn
and changed the size and shape Of
eoiffures and hats. Both are growing
higher and higher and narrower and
narrower. There are whisperings,
however. that the big hat with the
low crown is also being worn in
Paris. The white satin hat with
black feather trimming will be very
smart this fall, says the September
Woman's Home Companion.
The woman who wishes to be in
style this fall will 1pd that she must
dress her hair high. Last spring an
attempt was made to get all the hair
off the face and ears, but as it was
unbecoming to the average woman
q compromise was made, and this
Couture moderne is the result. To
give height, the hair Is built over a
light wire mold. Let us hope they
will stop before fashion dictates that
we wear headdresses like those wori
in the eighteenth century Then they
were so large and heavy that the fair
ladies had to hold their heads down,
getting into their carriages, often be-
ing forced to kneel on the floor when
driving about.

Shrinking Wash Goods


Wash goods should not be made up
without shrinking, and this is one of
the simplest and easiest of tasks
when a person knows how to go
about it.
If the goods comes in folds from the
store leave it as it is.
Otherwise, fold it into about third
of-yard lengths.
Then lay it fiat in a tub and cover
it with water. Let it lie for an hour
or more.
Then take. it out by the upper edges
of the folds, and hang it up, dripping,
pinning the top every little way with
clothespins so as to keep 1t as straight
as possible, says an exchange. As the
outside folds dry they should be
thrown up over the line to expedite
the drying.
Goods treated in this way will need
no pressing, and will not lose the
original finish.

A MOTHERS DISPOSITION AND IT'S
INFLUENCE ON HER CHILDREN

Is there anything in all this world
so dear and lovable as happy per-
son, especially happy mother? The
children of such mother grow up
in a sort of sunshiny mental climate,
or atmosphere which is favorable to
all goodness and fosters the most de-
sirable elements in a child's growing
years. Quarreling, bad temper and
sullenness cannot live in such an at
mosphere, and soon die out.
Unfortunately all mothers are not
of this kind, and one of the opposite
sort was fretting and nagging at her
little son for liking the house over
the way better than his own to play
in, says the Camden Daily Courier.
WELL mother" he struggled to ex-
plain in his childish way you see
Billy's. mother always seems to be
glad about something. | don't know
what about, but it's always some
thing. And so-you like to go there,
that's all"

The Montessori Plan

Crepe de Chine Costumes

There has been nothing shown this
season that has been more welcome
than simple, one-piece frocks of the
striped crepe de chine shirtings.
These shirtings. heretofore the exelu-
sive property of men, have always
been admired for their cool, soft APP
pearance and the variety of their
smart stripes. so their advent as the
material of practical frocks for all-day
country wear has been warmly well
coined, says an exchange.
There is practically no end to the
variety of stripes or eolors, from fine
stripes and soft gray and mauye tones
to brilliant colors and Roman stripes.
but the more delicate colors and the
all white stripes are particularly
pleasing.

Blackheads

About a year ago I had pimples
on my face and when they went

that look exactly like blackheads.
These spots greatly annoy me, as
they are all over my face. Can YOU
suggest some solution that can be
used on my face and take away
: these irritable spots? They are no
bigger than blackheads. M. P. G.
Systematic, thorough cleaning of
the face will remove blackheads.
IT cannot be accomplished over
night. About twice week the face
should be steamed until the pores
are open. This is done by applying
hot cloths to the face untilsthe skin
is very soft and pliable. Then wash
