How TO Make Your Hair
Soft, Fluffy, Beautiful

An old fashioned home recipe. con-
sisting of plain bay rum, lavona de
composee, and mentho1 crystals is one
OF the best things In the world for tho
hair and scalp. Get from any druggist
six ounces of bay rum, two ounces of
lavona de composee, and one-half
drachm of menthol crystals. Dissolve
the menthol crystals in the bay rum
and then add the lavona de composee.
II you prefer your druggist will mix
these ingredients for you. A teaspoon
full of your favorite perfume may be
added If you like. Apply by putting
a little of the mixture on a soft cloth.
Draw this cloth slowly through the
time. This cleanses the hair and
scalp of dirt, dust and excessive oil and
makes the hair delightfully."- fluffy, soft
and lustrous. To stop the hair from
falling and make 1t grow again rub the
lotion brtskly into the scalp with the
fnger tips or a medium stiff brush. APP
ply night and morning. Try this simple
remedy for a week or two and see IL
1t does not do away with the dandruff
and loose hairs. If your hair is nor
mally thick this recipe should keep it
so. If your hair is thin keep UP this
treatment regularly for a number of
weeks. If your hair papillae and fol-
licles are merely dormant this treat
ment should revive them and thus
make new hair grow and gradually
thtcken the hair over your whole scalp.
Various ready made hair preparations
contain lead acetate. This is poison
Gus and dangerous and should be
avoided. The simple recipe given
above is absolutely harmless.-Adv.

What Sort of SkutSHQpe Your Spring Fr0cks?

The skirt of the spring of 1915 is the
most radically different feature of fash
ion that We have had for long time.
1t is good deal like a good many
skirts of the past. hut it is 50 different
from the skirts of the last few seasons
that it is rightly called a new skirt. And
it is enough different from the skirts OF
any past season to be worthy its rcpu-
tation for newness.
The distinguishing feature about the
new skirt. of course. is its fulness at the
hem. This fulness measures from two to
five yards. The woman who does not
follow the extremes of fashion will do
quite we'll to have the skirt of her coat
suit made with a lower-edge width of
two yards and the skirts of other frocks
with a hem measurement of two and
one-half yards this summer.
OF course. there are still some narrow

foundations and full TUNES. But the
fuller skirt has really won the day.
The full skirt is manipulated in sew
cral ways. There is the circular skirt.
cut in one piece in truly circular man
ner. This is a good method of making a
skirt of heavy fabric But anything with
a loose weave is very likely to sag il
cut on this circular pattern.
Then there is the skirt made in sew
cral sections. Each is fuller than the
one above it, and each is cut on the cir
cular plan. So that the upper edge OF
each fits the lower edge of the one
above it.
One popular imported model is made
from a long. bias strip This strip be-
gins a little above the normal waistline
and is wound around and around the
body. forming a skirt that fits snuSly at

hips. and this disposes effectively "f
bulkiness at the hips and at the same
time allows a full lower section.
No woman should wear a yoked skirt
without looking well to see il it is be-
coming to her. For yokes at the hips
are decidedly unbecomng to certain
types of women. Moreover. they must
tit perfectly. \ yoke that is tight
that it gapes at the closing is out of tho
question. One SO loose that il ripples.

of the question. 1t must lie smoothly,
