Besides, mother doesn't like us to

OF course. children, you know
what a 'sisser' is: when you find a

A Wash for Blonde Hair
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS doom:
I wonder if you or some of the
Evening Star readers could tell me
of a tea or leaves that you brew to
make a wash for blonde hair. [
have heard of such, but the blonde
people who happen to know of it
don't like to pass it along.
I noticed the name in a story, but
have not the book. Perhaps some
reader has the magazine. The story
tells of a dog given to an Italian
gardener, and, in order that he may
win the prize at a dog show
the mistress told the gardener the
dog would have to have hair the
color of hers, so the gardener uses
the leaves, as he knows the mistress
uses them, and the dogs hair gets
light, and so he wins the prize.
Thanking you, MRS. x. Y. u.
I am told that henna paste is
used for bleaching the hair.
Here is the henna method:
Make a paste from four ounces
of powdered henna and four drains
each of acetic acid, white honey
strained and powdered rhubarb.
These are we'll mingled before
enough hot water is put in to make
a paste. After the hair has been
carefully shampooed and dried the
paste is applied evenly over every
inch of the hair, and one sits in the
sun for two hours. At the end of
that time the preparation is washed
off in water in which is no soap,
but about a teaspoonful of am
monia. All traces of paste are re-
moved, and drying is done in the
sun again.
Henna tea will make dark hair
red.
To bleach the hair is injurious,
for breakage and drying inevitably
follow. If 1 were you [ would
brush my hair thoroughly every
night, to bring out the natural
gloss, and let bleaching agents alone

HOW GOODNESS AROSE.

AS Colonel Starbuck drove into town
on the High Blue road Thursday,
somebody slipped a gunny sack full
of cats into the back end of his buggy
and he was all oblivious of the freight
until just as he came into town the
cats got to fighting, the sack became
united, and such a seampering cater
wauling of mad felines he says he
never saw. The colonel accuses Jess
Keeney of putting the cats in his
buggy, and there is a GOODNESS among
friends.-Bolton CMo.) Herald.

THE DWELLING.

Their silver DER the silver lake,
Nor where the citron sheds its snow
At dawning or at sunset glow,
And nightingales their music make.

Against the sky their silhouette,
Nor where the silences are filled
With affairs cunningly distilled
OF blended rose and mignonette!

Toward the great ocean vague and

Striped Skirts for Autumn

Roman stripes in cloth fabrics are
to be exploited for separate skirts for
early fall wear. They will also be
used for trimmings. This is an out
