SUITABLE FOR FLESHY MAID
Many Fabrics Especially Adapted to
Her, and Some She Should Be
Careful to Avoid.

The girl who Is too feshy should
never wear shiny stuffs such as satin.
They catch the light on the curve of
your figure and make you look much
stouter than you really are. Soft dull
stuffs are the right things for you.
Never wear blouse of one stuff and
the skirt of another, but always have
whole dresses or costumes. A contrast,
ing vest collar or front on a dark
dress is quite allowable.
Wear stripes or plain stuffs rather
than checks or Powered patterns
Don't have contrasting belt-it cuts
you in two and, by taking away your
height, increases your apparent width.
Wear becoming collars. High ones
are very unbecoming to thick throat
and, besides, you are nearly sure to
ha' pretty neck-most stout people
have-so you may as well show it.
Let your indoor skirts touch the
ground always. Have them made
close-fitting on the hips with a good
flare out at the foot. A skirt which
draws in round the feet always in
creases the apparent size 81 the hips

Left IL to the Horse.

The Swede knew that he was In
competent, but he needed the job very
badly indeed. The farmer saw at q
glance that he was a green hand, but
he was urgently in need of help.
So an arrangement was made. After
dinner the farmer sent his new hand
down to plow a field. and few mo.
ments later followed him. Peering
from the concealment of clump of
bushes, he observed for some time the
frantic but futile efforts of his hand
to run a straight furrow. Finally the
Swede came to a discouraged halt,
mopped his brow and addressed the
horses YEARLY.

please" he said. 1T all ban got to be

IF HAIR Is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darker and Beauty
Gray, Faded, LlfeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle Of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy. soft and abundant. Adv.

lukewarm water; stir in half cupful
of flour and let the yeast stand 80
hours. Use one and half cupfuls OF
this liquid for each loaf and just
enough -four to keep the dough from

FIRST TEST THE CRETONNE
Cheaper Grade Not Always a Good
Observation-Disclosures Excellent
Furniture Cover.

A cheap cretOnne is not always q
good investment, as 1t often becomes
thin after few weeks wear and looks
more like coarse muslin than a good
cretonne, so before investing in low
priced material 1t should be tested. To
do this take a small piece and rub
1t thoroughly as If washing. If the
threads separate and 1t becomes thin,
1t will wear badly, and is not really
economical, no matter how cheap the
price. but If 1t passes this ordeal
1t will probably last as long and wear
as well as a much higher-priced one.
A cretonne with a dark background
is far more serviceable than one of
lighter coloring, ard need not make

KEEP HANDS FROM CHAPPING
Or II They Are Now In Bad Condition
Here Are Remedies That
viii Help.

The first chilly day Is the day one
should begin to wage a war against
chapped hands. If you can keep your
hands from becoming chapped in the
transitional weather between hot and
cold, you will have little difficulty with
them later on, for it is in the first
cold days that they are especially SEN
sitive to cold. Still, 1t is never too
late
Chapped hands are almost always
caused by insufficient drying after
washing, or perhaps the water was Icy
cold and very hard, or used too hot.
Both extremes are bad for the skin.
To preserve the hands in good con-
dition in cool weather, they should.
whenever possible, be washed in
tepid water, and If this is softened by
a teaspoonful of borax so much the
better
Be sure to use soap of good quail
ity, and when drying the hands take
the precaution of rubbing each
finger separately.
II the hands are rubbed over once
day with a slice of lemon and a
little cold cream, or If mutton tallow
is rubbed into them thoroughly before
going to bed at night, there will be
little danger Of the skin becoming
chapped or rough.

Clam Broth en- Bellevue.

Take a dozen large cherry-stone
clans. Wash them well and place
them in a deep pan, covering them
with a pint of water. Let them boil
for ten minutes; the hot water will
open the clans. Remove the clans
and strain the broth through a cloth
Cut up the clans in tiny bits and put
them in the soup. For company you
can add little chicken broth to the
clam broth and a touch of whipped
cream on the top of the individual
cups.

HAIR iTvPR 4 (vPJVE

Ladies who find trouble in properly
or att:actively arranging and dressing
their hair should try using little Pa
risian Sage twice daily for awhile and
note the remarkable improvement. Pa
risian Sage, which can be obtained
from Laurens Drug Co., or any drug
counter, makes the hair soft, lustrous
fluffy and wavy, takes out the dull, life
less appearance, dissolves the dand-
ruff and stimulates the hair roots into
healthy normal action. Instead Of
merely sprinkling the hair, it should
he rubbed right into the scalp with the
finger tips. Partisan Sage is de-
lghtful treatment for both hair and
scalp, cannot possibly injurc the hair
and IS very inexpensive.
