one might say insisting on having
gowns and hats which are elegant

The head shown in the sketch is a
very smart model created by Georgette.
Here you have girls morning hat in

shape and so comfortable that it can
be worn without any hat pins to keep
1t in correct position. The model
shown was made Of orange-yellow
shantung with brim of yellow straw
lined with dull-blue taffetas.
The crown was high and very full,
with big blue pompon perched on the
top. This is the kind of hat that pref
ty girl can put on, without the aid of
looking glass; in second or two, and
look "charming as a picture Soft
crowned hats and toques are more
popular than ever, and these crowns
are made of quite unexpected materials
at times.
I have seen toile de jouy, worked
over with tiny beads, made into a
most effective hat crown, and glove
kid decorated with silk braidings is the
correct thing for motor bonnets
Though these large, soft crowns look
SO careless, they are in reality very
carefully made. AS a rule they are
supported underneath by bent wires, to
which the material is invisibly at
tached, or stiff muslin may be intro
duced to keep the folds of the crown
in place.

LADIES'! LOOK YOUNG.
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Use the O1d-time Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody
will Know.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the advan-
tages of youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. It makes or mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaked, just a few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's APP
pearance hundred-fold
Don't stay gray! Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a 5O-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
which is merely the old-time recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents Thousands of folks recommend this
ready -to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides no
one can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and it
becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and
you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite. It is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.
