Baked Bananas

Are bananas ever baked? We fry them and like them. I am told they are nice baked whole. How Is this done?
 MRS. J. K. M.''
 Select bananas of uniform size and peel them carefully Pour a few tea spoons of lemon juice over them, cover. and leave thus for half an hour turn ing them every five minutes. Now ar range them in a bake dish, lay quar- ter teaspoon of butter upon each, and strew with white sugar. Cover and bake 20 minutes in steady oven Then pour in a wineglass of claret. Replace the cover and leave in the oven five min utes longer. They are a pleasing &C., compartment to roast poultry or game. The claret may be omitted, but it adds piquancy to the dish.

To Make Hair Curley
 and Wavy in One Night

Here is how your hair can be curled nicely. easily and harmlessly. Before re- tiring. apply little liquid silmerine with a clean tooth brush. In the morn ing you will find the hair has dried in just the prettiest curls and waves-and 1t will look and feel so natural you'll never think of going back to the bothersome way you've been accus- toned to. You won't be troubled any more with hair stringing around your face-with burnt, uneven ends. nor with that dull, dead appearance.
 Any druggist can of course supply you with liquid silmerine. and few ounces will last you long time. It Is neither sticky nor greasy and is really delightful thing to use. 1t is doubly useful because of also serving as . beneficial dressing for the hair.-Adv.

Walnut Stain for Hair

Will you kindly, through your in- teresting Corner, give form of mak- ing walnut stain for gray hair? We can get fine coloring, but it will not stay on the hair. It needs something to set the color so that it will not brush off after it dries. By answering this ques- tion you will oblige

 Were your mention of the Corner less kind and less evidently sincere I should pass your letter on unhesitatingly to the manager of the beauty column with grateful acknowledgment of your refer ence to ourselves. But you tell us of something that excites our curiosity. know next to nothing of hair dyes, and even less of cosmetics. I have, how ever, heard of dye made from wal nuts and of stain for wood made from the same. Will somebody who has been initiated into the mysteries of chang ing the color of the human hair "arise and tell'' us how 1t is applied without dyeing the scalp as well? I once saw a woman faint in a crowded room and helped to remove her hat from the mass of golden hair. I could not help seeing that her scalp was dyed yellow. If the walnut wash be used to embrown the hair, will it not change the color of the skin also? In which case is it wise to get "fixtive?" As Miss Rosa Dartle says "I merely ask for information, but it is all too funny.

Hang the bedclothing upon the line out of doors. Get into all cracks and crevices with the wet brush and around the molding and baseboards not neglecting the base boards. Do this two or three times a week. Then once more, and I do not think you will ever see bedbugs in your home.
