COMB. sage TEA
into GRAY HAIR
Ladies'! Try This! Darkens Beautifully
and Nobody Can Tell Brings Back
Its Gloss and YOuthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready-to-
use preparation improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, costing about
SO cents large bottle, at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" thus avoiding a lot of
muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attraetiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After an
other application or two your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
nd luxuriant and you appear years
younger Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet re-
quisite. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

BY MARGARET MASON

Ones breadth of waist or lack OF 1t,
This year will safely bide,
Concealed beneath the chemise frock,
So straight of line and side.
All, void that all ones surplus chine
Could thus so smartly hide.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-It is indeed
fitting in this period of excessively
costly living that there should be no
waste but not quite so fitting that
there should be no waist. In truth yon
could hardly call it fitting at all the
way the new frocks and suits hang
straight and severe of line with no
hint or dent of a curve or gentle in
take.
We have had hips, my dear and
hoops, my dear, but now nothing but
straight lines will do. It's certainly
going to be lumpy going for purdy
persons.
With their clinging ways coat dress
es and chemise frocks tried awfully
hard to get around us all this winter
but while the many fell for their
straight lines straight away few OF
us still held out for and on to our
semblance of a waist line. However
this spring and summer we must all
copitulate and kiss our waists goodbye.
That is if course if we are equal to
such an automatically agile stunt.
Girdles and sash effects are imni-
present an all these straight line
garments but you mustn't care to pull
them in bit to break the rigid out
line of your silhouette. Indeed It
would seem that Dame Fashion were
striving to make Puck, (nat saucy
sprite of Midsummer Nights Dream"
in his famous boast "I1l put a girdle
roundabout the earth in forty minutes. .
For she has certainly put girdle
around at least the feminine portion of
the earth in less time than that.
Most of the 'girdles are fiat mands of
the same material of the suit or gown
that Imply cling around the spot
where ones waist ought to be, without
giving away its location by any undue
pressure. Some of them are elabor-
ately embroidered on the ends and al
most to girdls are finished with a

itary needs, the state railway is re-

passenger traffic by half or to $4,000
miles, and has further discontinued
free passes or reduced rate tickets, ex-
cept to commercial travellers. While
the state railway possesses 100000
freight cars, it hos ordered 5000 new
ones to fill the gap made by the lack

Of Italy, for the purpose of making
