why SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do. not because it is a fad.
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair 1t is never wise to
use a makeshift. but Is. always ad-
visabIe TO use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many OF our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at q cost
of about three cents a shampoo by
getting some canthrox from your
druggist. and dissolvinE a teaspoon
full in a cup of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to
all the hair instead OF Just the top
'of the head. as with most prepare
tions. Dandruff. excess oil. and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
in the rinsinE water. Your hair will
be so fluffy that II will look much
heavier than 1t Is. Its luster and
softness will also delight yoU.-Advt.

Everybody seems Pleased with
Mrs. TOyvner's Election.

Everybody seems pleased, with the
result of the Congressional Club cleo
tions, and particularly with the selec-
tion of Mrs. Horace Towner as presi-
dent. She was one of the organizers
OF the club, has been long a member
OF the executive. board, and Is emf
nently ftted for the role of presiding
officer.
1 heard 1t stated recently-and
passed on the statement-that Mrs.
Towner was the FIRST Congressman's
wife to serve as president of the club,
but this is a mistake. Although the
last two presidents, Mrs. Atlee Pome-
rene and Mrs. Duncan U. Fletcher,
were from the Senatorial circle the
first president was Mrs. James Brett
Perkins, wife of the late Congressman
Perkins of New York. Mr.. Perkins
died while she was in office. Mrs.
Perkins left Washington and her un-
finished term was served out by Mrs.
A. w. Gregg, OF Texas. After that
Mrs. Ernest Roberts served for two
years. Mrs. Fletcher was elected at
the time the club moved into its new
quarters.

J LETTER
DEAR SUSAN:

DEAR SUSAN:
Business as usual might have
been the slogan in official society this
week, for, with the exception of the
army ard navy reception at the White
House, most OF the entertainments on
the carpet were given as planned.
However, I've noticed that there has
been q distinct falling Oft in ih4 num-
Der of invitations issued during the
past week, and interest in the func-
tions which did occur was half
hearted at best. At dinner table, as
well as council table, the talk was all
of the situation, into which the coun-
try has been plunged by our break
with Germany, of ways and means OF
being useful, individually and COLES
lively. and of standing by" the
President
1t was a distinct disappointment
that the White House reception was
given up, the more because such a
dress parade of our army and navy
officers would be especially appealing
at this time; but it saved the Secret
Service several hours of keen anxiety.
The reason given, presence of work
growing out of the delicate interna-
tion situation" was surely reason
enough, but\back of it doubtless
loomed the inadvissbility of admit
ting 1000 or 5000 more or less un-
identified persons into the Executive
Mansion at a time when no one is
allowed to enter any of the public
buildings without a proper pass.
