carry out a most effective decorative

night by the officers and ladies of the

The greenery and graceful festoons
of the moss were used as basis for
the arrangement of the American
colors, the hundreds of flags of the
various corps striking vivid and
beautiful note of color.
The reception committee comprised
Mrs. William P. Davis, wife of Lieu
tenant Colonel Davis, commander of
the coast defense; Mrs. A. w. Morse,
wife of Major Morse Of the medical

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
abundant. Whenever her hair fell
out or took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful eff
feet.
But brewing at home is nussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 50-cent bottle of

recipe which can be depended upon

A well-known downtown druggist

and evenly that nobody can tell it

draw this through your hair, taking

the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two it be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
