KEEP YOUR BRUSHES
CLEAN and USE
SPF|SfR'SSCALP
TONIC

A noted scalp specialist,
speaking of the prevalence of
dandruff and similar manifes-
tations of an unhealthy scalp,
recommends first of all that
hair brushes, combs, etc., be
kept perfectly clean. The
daily use of Speiser's Scalp
Tonic is strongly urged, as it
prevents the drying of the
scalp, the primary cause of
dandruff, itching, etc.
The use of soaps or any
other preparation which con-
tains alkalis, must be strictly
avoided. AlkaliS have a ten
dency to dry the scalp, which
only makes matters worse.
Cocoanut oil and all foaming
solutions should not be used.
Speiser's Scalp Tonic corrects
abnormal conditions, kills
dandruff, and relieves itchy,
irritated skins. This wond-
erful preparation sells for SOC
and is personally guaranteed

nell's Drug Store, 9o4 F St.

NOVELTIES IN SWEET DOORS
Smelling Salts Put Up In a Variety of
Ways That Will Appeal to
a Woman.

The woman who likes sweet odors
almost always likes smelling salts.
The newer ones ARE packed into
bottles of charming shape. Some of
them have very elaborate shoppers
as. indeed, all the perfume bottles do,
too. Wide f~an-shaped shoppers are
one of the novelties.
Geranium, colored rose, is one of
the popular smelling salts odors at the
moment.
There are also very attractive
sachets covered with chiffon or very
fine net, containing an interesting
combination of flower odors. The
foundation for this is sweet lavender,
and there are rose and violet leaves,
and spices and oils, so that the com.
binetion is something on the order
of %potpourri. And of course all this
sweetness is visible through the very
sheer covering.

thing nifty in shirts-something with
a classy green stripe" said Dan Nc
Kee of Soho street, as he cruised' into
the mems furnishing store of Emil de
Saints, in Webster avenue. The lone
clerk evidently did not notice all the
specifications of McKee's order, and
l~istlessly drew out at random the first
box of shirts his hand touched. Pick
ing the top shirt out. he laid it before
Mckee.
There's something nice" he began.
"Oh, is it?" yelled Mckee.
Things happened in rapid succession
for a few minutes, during which the
clerk ran for a policeman. A show
case was smashed and haberdashery
strewn about the floor.
Mckee" asked Magistrate Sweeney
at the hearing the next morning, what
on earth made you try to wreck that
store?"

You didn't know that quilting was in
again; well, where haveDyou been all
this time? 1t is in style again, oh, not
only bed quilts but running to motifs
on %children's clothes, curtains, slip
overs, cushions and table covers, too.
All this is of the applique variety. But
the designs are not the ones which
have been o~verwoTked in the church
bazaars and ladies' aids. Instead of
the rose designs there are wonderful
ones just like those of long ago, done
in the flowers of that date. There are
hollyhocks and morning glories in the
blues and pinks and la%venders, in
which the dainty little Cooley persons
were wont to regale themselves. The
quilt is finished in a binding from one
inch on to wider of a solid color used
in one of the flowers. The width of
the border must be a matter of indi-
vidual taste.
Can't you fancy the soft pillows, too?
They have the background in soft
cream-quilted, too. Grapes and shad-
ed flowers are used. What a nice,
dainty boudoir pillow one of these
would make. C~retonne or any color
fast material could be chosen from
which the figures can be cut.
Worsted flowers and cross-stitch in
colored cottons have been utilized to
give the costumes and the coats and
hats of small children the quaint touch
which seems a special part of their
makeup these days. Why not u two
red, plump cherries from solid red
cloth or from a piece figured in cher,
ries. add two green leaves and quilt
them closely, then apply them to a
little linen Or crepe frOck belonging to
her miniature highness. On her spring
hat a cluster of flowers in satin OF
preferably linen, padded thickly, quilt
ed and sewed to the straw hat would
be a smart addition.
II you say when you read this that
a table cover worked in this way
wouldn't be worth the time and labor
with a brown Holland linen center OF
one of monks cloth, then try to buy
one already made and feel your hail

part of the fastidious ones for fur
by the time the new year arrived, be-
cause of its lavish use in women's ap-
parel during the last six months, that
everyone thought its day was done;
and yet, here it reappears in a variety
of capricious ways. For instance. one
of the Palm Beach hats of striped
blue and white linen lawn is edged
with fur, and Poiret's idea of
combing skunk out to make it look
like fringe and using it for trimming
has started an entirely new develop
ment in use of peltry.
He first brought this out on a BRIT
tany gown of purple and white striped
silk and velvet, and then the milliners
took it up for the new straw hats.
If you want to employ some of your
leisure time at home in arranging fur
instead of embroidering, you might try
your luck at achieving a Poiretesque
result with an old piece of fur and a
thick comb.
