She S Getting Bald


Dear Miss Doom
VIII you please tell me what will
make my hair grow The back Of
my head IS bald All my friends
tell me they never heard OF a girl
getting bald am twenty-five
years old and am an invalid.
a WORRIED GIRL.
The health Of the hair is directly
affected by the condition Of the
body. Your illness is the cause Of
the loss OF your locks, in all prob
ability. Have the scalp massaged
frequently, rubbing in the following
tonic:
one dram alcoholic tincture of
cantharides.
One-half dram tincture Of capsi-
cum.
Two drains Of nuz vomIea.
Three-quarters of an ounce of
cocoa oil
Two and one-half ounces Of
cologne.
This tonic should be applied TO
the scalp with a soft toothbrush or
tiny sponge. after the head has been
thoroughly massaged. Massage is
accomplished by kneading, not rub
bing the fingers over the scalp. Hold
the fingers firmly on different por-
tons 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 min
utes or more.
Brush the hair and braid II loose
ly for the night.

Patchwork Furnishings

Misapplied ingenuity can be comic
as well as pathetic. Sometimes it is
both, and when it tries to make a
merely useful object serve a purpose
for which it was never intended. Most
OF us have feat the incongruity of
painted drain pipes for umbrella
stands. a bit of ecclesiastical embroid-
cry as hat trimming. the gliding of a
soldiers belt buckle, or a canteen
and so on.
The worst of it is that there is ris-
ing up amongst US a band Of self
constituted mentors who are making
/ L. their business to tell other people
how to turn things into uses for
which they were never intended, says
the Camden Daily Courier.
Now the writer's who advocate this
sort of thing have usually no sense
of fitness nor of proportion, a defect
possibly due to lack of education and
early training and to having been
brought up in meagre homes where
ANYTHING was used for any purpose.
Those who were brought UP in homes
where respectable pieces of solid fur
niture were the accepted thing, and
where there was a sufficiency of uten-
sis for the general household use,
naturally see no object in turning
waste basket into a jardiniere or an
orange crate into coy corner. We
do not turn silver inkstands into fern
dishes nor elotheshorses into screens.
All this patchwork is very unsatis-
factory in the end is the articles are
usually very unsuited for the pur-
pose to which they have been adapt
ed.
That in itself is their worst indict-
ment, for the unsuitable can never
be right as matter of artistic fitness.
The craze is a manifestation of the
widespread desire for change-that
sense of unrestfulness that cannot
be satisfied with things as they were
and are.
To those thus bitten it is no matter
that the change is not for the better,
or that it makes for the ludicrous or
contemplate.

without an UMBRELLA and who sell
dom takes any precaution until the
first warning drop leaves a splash on
her nose.
Why an umbrella is a disagreeable
appendage. a nerve swapping bugbear
to a good many women. no one need
stop to question. The answer is OBJ
vious when you see her right hand
always engaged with the inevitable
handbag, and her left one always on
guard to straighten the hat which a
ruthless wind or a careless pedestrian
may give an unweleome tug at the
most unexpected moment. And
nothing is quite so exasperating
as to struggle for good appearance
on a public street.
If she believes in the pure water
cure that is the time to set out
either on a fiat roof or In the back
yard, large, shallow vessel to catch
the rain drops as they fall.

Cape Cleverness

The little lace cape can do ne
wrong. and II would be impossible TO
imagine anything more enchanting.
When sleeves are particularly con
spicuous hy their absence this cape Is
wonderfully helpful. few slight
draperies falling on either side So
that, if desired. the wearer can draw
it forward.
Here you have the draperic1 al
luded to above. in conjunction with
lace founces. These draperies are Of
taffeta-a very supple quality-in a
delicate peach color, Of which the
underdress is likewise fashioned, the
latter again slightly draped.

Summer Waists

Almost all bodices are transparent
to some extent at least, and one very
important feature is the variety Of
overblouses and garnitures shown.
Not alone are lace fiouncings used
over silk foundations. but some of the
simpler sorts used over fine lawns
and batiStes. Sashes and parasols
provide the note of bright color.

Plum OF Grape Conserve

Cook the fruit until soft enough to

minutes; add chopped almonds or

Stir well before pouring into jelly
glasses, the nuts are apt to sink.

Is thoroughly pinned down take a
very narrow strip of paper. laying
this across the body of the butter
