An especially fine shampoo for this
weather can be easily made at trifling
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful Of canthrox in a cup of hot
water. Pour slowly on scalp and
massage briskly. This creates a
soothing, cooling lather that dissolves
and removes all dandruff, excess oil

spotlessly clean, soft and plant, while
the hair takes on a glossy richness of

The gravity of affairs of state is
keeping many official hosts in close
touch with their departments and is
somewhat discouraging to frivolity,
while the Mexican situation has ter
minated much of the gayety in the
army and navy set for the time be-
ing, or until it is definitely ascertain
ed who will be sent to the border.
Fort Myer, in particular, is woefully
lacking in festivity with the Fifth
Cavalry in momentary readiness to
sntrain and even the weekly exhibit
lion drills suspended to await the out
come Of matters military. But the
residential contingent OF Capital So
ciety, which has taken over the re-
sponsibility of prolonging the season,
mas succeeded very brilliantly, finding
time for luncheon and bridge and an
occasional dinner in the hours be-
tween church attendance and charity
work.
Elaborate plans are under way for
Earious and sundry charitable enter
!ainments, both during and immedi-
itely following the Lenten season.
Perhaps the most unique of the group
will be the benefit for the sick and
wounded Russian soldiers which de-
ives its patronage from such dis
inguished women as Nine Bahkme-
