Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
of 81. Have pretty black hair, but it
is turning gray already. Have no
ticed few for long time; now they
are increasing. They turn gray at the
root and at the ends they have their
natural color. My hair is very oily
and full of dandruff. Could you tell me
what causes it turning gray. and
whether there is anything that 1 could
do for 1t that will not harm the hair
otherwise?
WORRIED.
1t is almost impossible to keep the
hair from turning gray when it has
once started to do so. The best thing
you can do is to keep your health good.
Get outdoors as much as you can and
eat nourishing food.
Give the hair an egg shampoo every
two or three weeks. and very other
day rub a bit of yellow vaseline or
castor oil into the scalp. Massage the
scalp every day and brush the hair
we'll daily with a brush that reaches
the scalp. 1t may be diseased condi-
ton of the scalp that is turning the
hair gray. Rubbing a little alcohol
into the scalp, or giving the hair a kerr
osene bath now and then, will help
matters. When using kerosene do
not go near fire OF any kind; do not
light a match or get near burning
lamp or gas jet.

who should speak first?
Beth.
ID A man always gets tired or a
girl he can hug and kiss as mucn as
he wants to. Also, girl who lets boy
do this teaches him to think that all
other girls are just as easy and silly
as she is, and that when he gets tired
of her he can find plenty of others to
amuse him. OF course if you want TO
keep his kind of friendship you VIII
let him do as he pleases. But be sure
you won't keep him long. He'll be of
for other girls, and besides he'll tell
all his boy friends the kind OF girl you
are
CD 1t depends upon what she is
angry about. If it is trifling thing she
can let him see that she doesn't think
1t matter to quarrel over. It's best
to wait for the man to speak first, u.s.
ually. A boy is very apt to think a
girl is running after him when she Is
too anxious to make up.

Checks in twill and serge WeaVes have ever been favorite fabrics for wear during mountain trips. They do mot readily show the stains or that sort of travel and withstand hard and continuous usage.
 They do not call for trimmings. Indeed, there should be no loose ends to f1utter, no braids to rip no buttons to fall from the mountain costume. When present these things are simply nuisances to the feminine tourist.
 A clever young actress, whose speciality Is ingenue roles, is now wearing at an Adirondack camp .'house party suit in brown and white checked worsted.
 Skirt Full Below Knees.
 Its ankle length skirt, scant and smoothly fitted to the. knees, gains fulness below them-where width is most essential-via circular-cut f1ounce. This fiounce, much shorter Sat the back than at the front, has a scalloped edge narrowly bound with brown tailor braid, machine applied,
 To the back of the waistband is gathered a position which falls in shallow folds to below the hips from beneath the panel back of a short jacket whose straight under-arm pieces for straight side panels ex- : tended half way over the hips. The turned back lower corners of the narrow waist-length fronts show white pique belt matching a sailor collar turned back upon somewhat wider collar in brown velvet. Velvet ribbon bands a low crowned white feit hat whose brim is slightly de- pressed.
 This trim-looking and practical costume is supplemented by broad soled, fiat-heeled brown morocco laced boots. Their tops are extended over the calves for two excellent reasons. One of them is to prevent the ankles from turning when trav- cling over steep places. The other is that they are a protection from briars and mosquitoes.
 Striped and Plain Materials Combined.
 Striped and plain materials com bined are fashioned into most effec- tive looking mountain costumes. Roman designs of not too vivid shades are used for collar. cuffs and underskirt of coat suits of the more conventional type. But somewhat out of the ordinary and decidedly distinctive is costume whose striped skirt in tete-de-negre and blue shows between the open fronts of a tete-de-negre redingote, so called, although cut in two lower sec- tfons.
 This garment consists of a lower portion fitting smoothly about the sides and back of the hips, but far

FEATURE PICTURES
 ARE SHOWN AT FOX'S

Showing none but the very best fea- ture photo-play productions on the market, and strictly exclusive pro- gram, Fox's theater is gaining pop ularity daily. When Paris Loves. {" a three-part production featuring Mime. Robinne and an all star east from the celebrated Comedie- Fran caise, Paris is the stellar attraction on today's motion picture program. The story deals with an art student who had become infatuated with a fellow artist of the opposite sex, and is determined to marry her against the wishes of his father, who had already made the selection for him. The students funds being cut off. he returns home defiant, but finally ac- cedes to his fathers wishes. Reluc- tantly he leaves all that had been dear to him. In the meantime the girl he had left in Paris has become famous through winning the grand prize at the Paris Salon with her su- perb masterpiece Abandoned. How the two lovers are brought together again and united, how his fathers remonstrances are quickly conouered make charming love story, filled win pretty sentiment that touches the vital spot.
 Another feature that will please and entertain is Hopes of Blind Alley" a three-part Universal attraction. The story is an excellent one, tense. in- teresting and highly dramatic. Still another feature that will particularly interest the kiddies as we'll as the grown-ups is The Universal Bow. " featuring Little Matty. Matty meets ex-President Roosevelt.

ing below them. At top it is slightly gathered-in fact, merely attached loosely to the narrow inside band joining it to the upper portion. This is actually a blouse with wide apart fronts joined from the bust line by broad sashes of the material. These, crossed at the waist, run down over the hips to the back of the polo naise. On the shoulders the blouse starts without fulness under a deep yoke, rever-shaped front and rounded across the back. Finishing it's neck in a narrow rolled-ove collar in blue corded silk.
 The sleeves are interesting because, while attached to very low-dropped arm-eyes, they fasten closely about the wrists with three buttons set within the scallops which finish their edges. The rows of buttons and soallops are the only vestiges of trimming about this costume.
 Green Serge Ideal for Rough Wear.
 Serge in darkest green-not the hunters shade, but the one which comes nearest to English ivy leaf tone makes an ideal mountain frock. The hue perfectly blends with the foliage of the trees, the clay of the trails and the mysterious depths of forest pools. Moreover, it does not fade and grass stains do not show plainly upon it:
 A model which originally had a black satin underskirt, as made up for a mountain camp guest, is all in ivy-leaf serge save for broad crush belt in black satin. It's long-sleeved bodice is all but tight-fitting. That is to say, it clings to the figure every where excepting across the waist lines center, where it's straight-but- toned fronts are slightly puckered. From either side, below the bust, the front forms are extended into a tas- sel-ended self girdle long enough to cross over the satin belt, encircle the hips and knot at the right side.
 These tassel-tipped ends drop upon the scanty upper skirt, really the skirt proper, for the lower one does not count for more than a pet ticoat-which, gathered all around to it's waistband, falls in straight folds to the ankles. White Collar and Cuffs Only Relief.
 White touches relieve the dense green of this frock in the shape of pique turned-back cuffs and a f1aring tIrned-over collar It is the best sort of neckwear for use in the moun- tains, as 1t rolls high about the throat at back and sides and protects it's cuticle from sunburn.
 Beware of Silk Sweater!
 Do not be persuaded to take a knitted silk sweater into the moun- tains. On the trails they are a. nuisance because of the projecting twigs which get entangled with their meshes. A tweed outing coat is better. If you are getting new one for your Adirondack visit, best order something with rainproofed surface.

FAMOUS MYSTIFIER
 ON KEENEY'S BILL

Pitiroff, Russia's famous mystiher, is doing duty as Keeney's headliner this week. He is presenting a series of startling feats in which he demon strates remarkable skill. He manages to escape from handcuffs, strait jackets, ropes and other contrivances used to test his skill. His feat of releasing himself from trunk in which he has been placed while bound hand and foot Is one of the most bAffling things ever seen in this city. Last nights audience marvelled at his work and applauded him Hberally. Fitiroff makes a complete change in his act every day and during the week he will introduce a number of tricks which he did not attempt for the first nighters'' Besides his stage exhibi- ton Pitiroff has been persuaded by the management to give his big free show tomorrow afternoon at 12:30. While suspended by his heels in mid air. the willy Russian will make an escape from a leather strait-jacket 1T: full view of everyone on the street. The exhibition will be given in front of the theater.
 Novel dancing constitutes a major part of this weeks program and the disciples of Terpsichore find great favor with the audience. Quinn, Cav nai1Rh and Quinn, offer a novel turn in which they do some splendid danc- ing. They introduce the Texas Tommy, hard-shoe dances and other fancy gyrations that are cleverly executed.
 Otto Steiner and Lottie Goodman also do some remarkable dancing. MT. Steiner makes up splendidly as a Dutch character and intersperses his work with some bright comedy. Miss Goodman, who is one of the original Goodman sisters, known the world over for their dancing ability, does some fancy steps His acrobatic dancing, which Is typically English, is different from what Keeney patrons are accustomed to and last evening it went big. This clever young lady has just completed an engagement of several weeks in the country's biggest vaudeville houses and If the European trouble is sufficiently settled to permit of her return to the continent, she intends to leave for England next nonth.

 Preserved cherries and blanched almonds make a welcome addition to a fruit salad.
