Be Pretty! Turn
Gray Hair Dark
Look young! Nobody can tell
if you use Grandmother's
simple recipe of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

Almost every one knows that
Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back the
natural color and luster to the
hair when faded, streaked or gray;
also ends .dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Now
adays. by asking at any drug store
for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe for
about so cents,
Don't stay gray! Try it'll No
zone can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair. as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair
disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy.

Newest Winter Modes.

Burgundy red is one of the most
popular colors of the present winter
This rich shade is to be seen in velours

ket cloth. "sardanapale" and many
other soft stuffs.
Burgundy red materials look splen-

skunk or black fox.
Imitation breitschwanz is very fash
ionable this season. 1t is so beauti-
fully made that 1t is really almost i'm
possible to know that it is not real

odorous boiled meat was eaten that
evening in cold. hostile silence on
Ellen's part. and in an uncomfortable,
sheepish silence on Georges side of
the table, although he did try to break
1t with sentence or two concerning
the weather and the progress of the
new church. But that last reference
was unfortunate. He got red as soon
as he said il, and in confusion took
a hot spoonful of dumpling that blis-
tered his tongue. For he had con-
tributed only half as much to the new
church as had Elkins. the grocer across
the way. Somehow the fact had be-
come public and Ellen had professed
great modification. George had been
hard pressed for money at the time.
Bills were due. Ellen had tartly told

THE EVENING STORY.
HIS EASY WAYS.
Copyright. 1914. T. W. Werner,


Mrs. Gracy ran through the back
yard and across the alley to the rear
door OF her husbands grocery and
meat shop. She had just decided that
boiled beef with carrots and cabbage
was something that she wanted for
dinner. And Ed had said the night
before that he would have q fresh
shipment that morning. She hurried
in between the high heaps Of empty
boxes. fairly pleasant expression on
her face. 1t was a radiant morning
and the sunshine affected her, even in
the brief time she was outdoors.
Before she emerged from the shad-
ows of the boxes the fairly pleasant
expression faded and a distinctly un-
pleasant look took its place. and at
the same time. when her husband hap
pened to look over his shoulder and
catch sight Of her, his cheerful smile

Ellen Gracy's lips parted for an
angry speech, but an influx of custo-
mers silenced her., With an air Of re-
lief her husband turned briskly to the
first woman. Wrathfully. but silently,
his wife picked UP piece of boiling
beef and went back to the house. There
while she pared potatoes and scraped
carrots for the soup, her anger swelled.

Summertime is canning time. as
everybody knows. Nevertheless there
are many preserves that may be pre-
pared at this time of year. They are
economical In two ways-they are
made at a time when the home pre-
server is not rushed with other work
Of the same kind. and they are made
from fruit that is in season and there
fore cheap.
Apples, perhaps. are the most use
full of winter-preserving fruits. And
this is just the time to preserve them,
for many sorts of apples do not keep
well after January. These, still firm
now. can be preserved for the future.
and those that do keep well until
spring can be set aside for eating and
cooking.
Apple jelly should be made at the
same time that some other apple pre-
serve is prepared, for the skins and
cores from the apples used in some
other way can all be added to the
jelly. A good jelly, in fact, can be
made from skins and cores alone, but
the cook can satisfy her desire for
economy by an extra core from every
apple.
Jelly for a Year.
The cores and skins should be broken
and the whole apples should be washed
and sliced with skins and cores in
place. Then the whole mass should be
put in granite or aluminium preserv-
ing kettle, and barely covered with
water and cooked slowly until tender
Next 1t should be drained through q
jelly bag for. twelve hours and then
measured, and to every pint of Juice a
pound Of granulated sugar should be
allowed. The juice should be brought
to the boiling point and then the sugar,
slightly warmed, should be added and
stirred into the juice until dissolved.
Then the mixture should be boiled rap
idly until it is ready to jelly, and it
should be put in jelly glasses and
sealed.
This jelly can be made now to last
for year. 1t Is delicious jelly in
summer. simply because apples are
then out of season and the taste Is
therefore welcome.
Apple preserves can be made to give
their quota of cores and skins to the
jelly kettle. Use rather tart apples,
with good flavor. and core and pare
and quarter them. Weigh them then
and allow an equal weight of granu-
lated sugar. And to each pound of
fruit allow the juice of two lemons, the
grated rind of one and a cupful of cold
water. Boil the sugar and water for
two minutes, and then add the lemon
and the apples and simmer until the
apples are tender. Seal in jars while
hot.

she knew grfmly that he was not too
she reflected more grimly that he de-
served to be.
At o'clock she ran over to the shop
again for a few slices of bacon for

pork chops for thin, untidy, over

generous heap-three pounds at least.
The girl gave him 20 cents and an ex-
plosive Thank you, Mr.. Gracy."
George, since when did pork go down
to cents a pound retail?"
George .visibly cringed. Darn it, Ell
len. 1 can afford to lose so cents"
Ellen looked at him bitterly. George,
do you know you and your easy ways
are a joke in this town."
Before George could answer another
influx Of trade interfered. Ellen wrath
fully went home without the bacon or
cheeks were red with anger. It had
been the same thing. day after day,
week after week. throughout the ten
years she had been married to him.
Whenever she came unexpectedly into
the store she found him trusting"
some utterly unworthy customer. And
his books showed it. The profits dwin-
died. The grocer across the street was
able to invest in read estate. but George
and Ellen Gracy simply made 4 living

sentfully reminded her once, but she
tartly told him there was no reason
why 1t shouldn't be more than comfort

firm character instead of disgrace
fully weak one.
George avoided argument when he
could and promised to do better, and,
whenever Ellen wasn't around, went
back on his promise And handed out
meat and groceries as though he were
running a charity institution" Ellen
complained.
Now she was out Of patience. The

Baby's Newest Quilt.

Baby's newest down quilt is both
pretty and practical. 1t has the upper
and under sides of soft china silk of
either pale blue or pink, and over this
is a cover of very sheer linen. The
cover is the full size Of the quilt after
the edges are turned over. and it is
mitered at the corners. The overlay Is
at least five inches and Is usually fin-
ished with an embroidered scallop or
lace edge. Is 1t not a fine idea? For

removed and laundered and the silk

Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, January 10.-Our eyes
have already become accustomed to
watching for odd combinations in those
two most diametrically opposed colors.
black and white. They appear more
and more frequently. and one breathes
an ardent hope that those who are not
skilled in mingling colors will not take
upon their own hands such work.
Right there lies the majority of trou-
BILE and i'll dressing-the belief of wom-
en- that they know how to combine col
ors. Few. women admit to anything
but superiority in this phase of arrang-
ing clothes, and yet there are really
very few women who can pass an ex-
animation in the alphabet of it.
This has been proved by the clothes
many have worn during the last three
years, since Poiret and Leon Bakst
haye had their most direct influence on
the coloring matter contained in wom-
ems costumes. The secret of shades is
the one least understood. Red is not
just red; 1t is a vast variety Of tones.
and the employment of exactly the
right one Is the thing that spells sue
cess. and the failure to secure the right
shade destroys the chance of it. The
difficulty of securing the original
shades put into French gowns which
owe their brilliancy to this manipula-
tion of color is one of the struggles OF
the American importer of which the
laity knows little. We do not possess
the perfection of dyeing that France
does. and our individual dressmakers
do not struggle along the line of ex-
elusive dyeing as do the French. They
accept, either from Indifference or ne
cessity. the coloring that the American
pots turn out after the limited French
supply Is exhausted.
White Bodices With Black Skirts.
Another good result from scarcity
of ingredients that produce brilliant
or unusual colors is the fact that the
majority of women may be compelled
to restrict themselves to tones that are
safe; no one can accuse the average
woman of knowing how artistically to
combine queer or unusual colors. She
appears to better advantage when she
is forced to select from those that can
do her no wrong.
Of dark blue there will be plenty, /
believe and certain shades of brown.
Of red; white will be easy to get. There
comes the opportunity now to take up
the color scheme which France seemed
to set her heart on early in the au-
tumn, when she reverted to the tones
of the days of Marie Antoinette and
her predecessors; there was moment
when II looked as though Boucher
would be the accepted colorist-a far
cry from Leon Bakst, and now the
tendency is very strong.
The colors which have been given
women to play with during the last
four years were as dangerous. To the
sale of them should have been attached

Waiting for Berlin Word.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Conferences

Lansing and Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, brought the
situation growing out of German sub
marine activities to the following
status:
a. The German ambassador has
been furnished with the evidence of
officers and of survivors of the Ara
bic, all agreeing that the liner was
proceeding peacefully when torpedoed
without warning, and has been ad-
vised that the United States desires
a disavowal of the attack and repara-
tion for the American lives lost.
(2) The evidence will be sent by
Count Won Bernstorff to the Berlin
foreign office, to which 1t has not
been available before, and probably
ten days.will elapse before Berlin can
be heard from.
