to the Lohengrin march and deposited
the basket before the honoree.
No bride of the year has been more
favored with lovely articles of lin
gerie, table linen, silk hosiery and
dainty handwork of all kinds. After
opening each package the honoree
made graceful little speech in which
she thanked her friends for their

Care of the Hair.


The hair often becomes unruly in
windy weather. Curly hair when af-
fected by wind or dampness can be
coaxed back to Its natural state. Wet
the hair with hot water, push it up
into loose waves and stick a little fine
side comb into each wave, tie a soft
veil over the head and allow 1t to
dry. Never use hot irons on hair that
is naturally curly.
If the hair looks dull and lifeless It
requires oil and massage. The hair
must be kept scrupulously clean to be
either healthy or good looking. There
