Bay rum has tonic properties. but
I doubt its efficacy as a restorer.
Sage tea Is said to restore gray hair

Sage tea Is made In the following
manner: Boil five cents worth OF
green sage, this years crop, and
quarter of a pound Of black tea In 3
pint Of liquid until reduced to half
q pint. Strain and apply to the
roots of the hair with a toothbrush
before retiring. Shake well before
using. This is also said to be good
hair tonic. The results will not be
noticeable at once. but II used faith

Braiding Popular

most effective trimmings A great
variety of small and large braids are
used. but for motif and band design
The smaller braids are almost OK
clusively used. Rat-tail. soutache,
pig-tail coronation braid and va
ricty Of fine cords are most suitable
Flat braids may be applied by hand
or machins.
II done in the latter way a fine
thread and loose tension are all that
10 necessary, though II Is a good plan
also not to have a presser- foot which
projects far beyond the. needle, as
otherwise the design is not easy to

When applied by hahd. the braid
may be wewn directly through tile
