Curl Hair This Way
and Keep 1t Healthy

1t has been found that the use of a
harmless and inexpensive fluid which
druggists know as "sllmerine," will
keep the straightest hair in curl, Civ
ness, besides keeping the hair softer
and glossier than possible with the
heated iron. The liquid may be ap-
piled with a clean tooth brush this
being drawn through the hair from
crown to tip and allowed to dry over
night.
In the morning the hair will be beau
tifully wavy and curling. and will lie
easily and loosely on the head, as it
should. considering it's welfare from a
hygienic standpoint. A few ounces
of liquid silmerine will last for months
and as it is really beneficial to the
hair. which cannot be said of the heat
ed iron. 1t should be generally adopted
by the fair sex. 1t will not spot or dis
color scalp or hair, nor leave any sedi-
ment, grease or stickiness.-Home

Find Potash In California.

The salt-incrusted valley floor COM
monty known as Searles Lake, in
southern California, has lately come
into prominence through the wide
spread interest in the search for an
available source of potash in this coun-
try and the apparently promising pros
poets this locality affords Of a con-
siderable commercial production in
the near future. The estimate made
three years ago that this deposit con-
tains four million tons OF water solu.
BILE potash salts seems to have been
amply confirmed by subsequent de.
velopments. That this amount of pot
ash salts will actually be produced
and placed on the market cannot yet
be considered assured, but so far as
can be judged from evidence available,
Il seems that this deposit is the most
promising immediate source OF com
merciaI potash In the United States

Calais-Paris connections are excellent
and find himself forced to spend
some hours in the city, the first thing
he remarks is that there seems to be
dozen or more women to every man
upon the streets. While, of course.
the relative disproportion is nowhere
near so great, still girls and women
do largely outnumber the men, as
the lace industry is continually draw
ing them from the surrounding coun-
try to its factories. Wages in this In
dustry are very low, and many of its
operations can be performed as well
by young girls as by men.
The loiterer next notices lace signs
everywhere, upon commission houses
and factories Generally, these signs
appear in three languages, French,
German and English. In spring and
autumn he will meet a continual
stream of his countrymen, buyers for
the big importing houses.
Factories Are Worth Seeing.
OF his own free will, however, the
traveller seldom stays. He is always
willing to leave Calais for most any
where. There are plenty of self-cen-
tered, serious, hustling business
towns at home, and there is no &C.
casion for enduring the monotonous
twentieth century atmosphere when
one is on pleasure trip. There are,
nevertheless, many things worth see
ing in the fiat dingy, strictly practical
port city. Visits to the great lace fac
tories are we'll worth while, and
usually give one a new reverence for
the possibilities Of insensible machin-
cry. To see the most intricate pat
terms mingled in foam wave of ex-
quisite lace, possibly of several colors,
with gold and silver threads, and all
this done by a massive, complicated
piece of machinery, at one end de-
vouring thousands of thread strands
and, at the other, giving forth a lace
equal to the highest cunning of the
human hand, is to witness almost the
perfection OF mans inventive genius.
And, then, this piece of machinery OPP
crates automatically, much like the
player-piano.
Calais shares with Nottingham,
England the honors for the manufac-
ture of machine-woven laces. The
other two leading lace towns make
what are known as the embroidered
and burnt out" laces. on entirely diff
ferent machines Calais struggled its
industry from England but it has add
ed to the original English processes
and machinery enough to be in posi-
ton to claim perfection of its own.
Aside from, and beyond, its momen-
tary military interest, Calais has the
liveliest interest for the person wide
awake to present-day marvels, as

can manufacturers, who regularly Wis
IL their plants and make preparations
for this country's seasonal supplies.
The American consulate at st. Gall IS
a very busy ONCE, and it has to do al
most solely with the embroiderles and
the Observation-Disclosures laces of st.
Gall and of the surrounding villages
for American consumption.
Lace Town Also Suffers.
Another town that has suffered Sc
verely by the war is Calais, which
though it has been looked on by tour
lists as merely a threshold Of CONT
mental Europe, is in reality one of
the four greatest machine-made lace
cities of the world. II is as a cen
ter of manufactured laces that Calais
in peace times is most widely noted.

everything about II has some bearing

several different ways. Among others,
a large square of the figured net has
a circular opening, large enough to
slip over the hat crown. This is
bound and an elastic cord inserted in
the binding, serving to hold the veil
about the crown. The outer edge is
bound with narrow, bias strip of
white satin and hangs in four points
about the shoulders.
But the majority of godet wells are
merely straight lengths of figured net
or lace, hemmed along the straight
edge and gathered on an elastic cord.
The other edges are bound with a bias

growth swept away by a struggle in
which it's people have no interest. St.
Gall is a town of one industry and
that for the export trade, says the
National Geographic society. 1t is a
world-famous center for the manufac-
ture of machine-embroidere white
goods, and its wares have found sale
over the whole earth. 1t has done an
annual trade in these articles with
America of between six and seven
million dollars a year. 1t also had
heavy business with the countries Of
Europe and South America and those
of the Orient Since the outbreak of
the war it's export routes have been
closed, while some of its largest Gus
toners have been forced by their war
expenditures to stop all purchase Of
foreign-made Injuries.
The town has grown wealthy
through the centuries. and 1t has con-
tinually developed its one industry,
built many factories, large and small.
where an important percentage of the
embroidered white goods of the world
are worked, and through all the
neighborhood around the city the
same industry has found development
as a home industry, in which hand
machines are used.

around the mountain cell Of learned
Irish monk, st. Gallen, who, taken
sick here in the seventh century
while on a pilgrimage to Rome, built
him a cell 900 feet up the mountain
side, and, upon his recovery, vowed
TO devote his life to the conversion of
the mountain tribes. Around his cell
there has grown up a city of more
than thirty thousand, which bears his
name. and which is known to the dry
goods buyers of all countries.
An abbey was built and its Irish
monks, distinguished throughout Eu-
rope for their devotion to learning,
here made safe retreat for their
studies. Centuries before the Renais-
sance the monks of st. Gallen studied
both Greek and Latin, and painstak-
ingly copied many of the ancient
texts. These manuscripts are still
preserved in the library of St. Gall,
and they form a priceless nucleus OF
its collections.

Whatever vagaries the midsummer
may bring in the way of fads, let us
hope that pretty floating wells will be
numbered among them. Short wells
of light net or of supple chiffon, that
answer the lightest breeze that blows
or play with the stiffest wind, are too
becoming and too pretty In them
selves to be left out of our reckoning.
Just now the face veil of very fine,
plain net, in an open mesh, worn with
turbans or sailors, serves to keep the
hair neat-looking and sometimes to
improve the appearance of the COM
plexion. Unless the skin is very clear
and somewhat rosy these face wells
should be chosen in a color or in the
very finest and most inconspicuous
threads and meshes in black.
Certain shades of gray and grayish
blues and those colors classed as
mode" and fawn color are found to
be most becoming in mesh face wells.
In the finest weaves they are hardly
discernible, but are found to brighten
the complexion more than black wells.
The godet veil, which was intro
duced with the beginning of the spring
season, promises well as veil for
midsummer. 1t is more voluminous
than wells Of plain or figured net or
even those of lace. which appeared
last summer. but did not come into
general use.

siderable additional length at each
side. The lower part OF the skirt must
be cut to conform to the shape Of the
yoke, fancy black silk braid is laid
over the joining and then the seams
in the yoke are machine-stitched to
place.
The bottom of the overdress is
shortened at the front but reaches a
little below the edge of the plated
skirt at the back. 1t is finished with
a binding of silk braid.
The short almost straight-hanging
jacket has tabs bound with braid form
ing a quaint-looking basqne. Seams
and edges are piped with the silk.
The sleeves are provided with turn
back cuffs OF the black taffeta over

V at the front, with wide turnover
collar at the back, which is sloped
into narrow revers at each side. The
small ball buttons that fasten the
jacket are made by covering molds
with the taffeta.
1t seems as if no other hat could
look quite so well with this unpreten-
tious but unusual gown as the fiat
sailor of black "liseret," with it's
smart brushlike cockade of white and
black feathers. The shoes of white
kid with tips of black and black finish
ing fittipgly complete a costume which
deserves to be called chic.
