New Fashionable Shadow.

It's a bothersome thing to keep
changing, isn't it? And yet, If you
wish to be considered smart, you must
throw a fashionable shadow. Now, to
do hat this season you must enlov
the hoops from your evening gown
and let the full draperies just flare
enough OF themselves to keep Il stink
ing" or 'directoire" look which your
silhouette showed several years ago.
IN your afternoon gown, the sill
houette Of straight lines predominates.
No b~ouffancy here. But when 1t comes
to the topcoat, you have some flare
again-not too much, because topcoat
materials are soft and cannot stand
stiifly outright.
II you indulge In furs you will find
an added width to the shoulder line
IS the result, while the chin which
disappeared last winter In the folds OF
the collar now peeps forth again to
view a cold but admiring world.

PROPER TREATMENT OF HAIR
Thorough Cleansing After Exposure to
Dust Is OF Prime Importance
Don't Wash It Too Often.

To begin with, a thorough cleansing
OF the hair Is the first thing after a
railroad or motor trip. Fol- this 1t is
well to begin the night before the
shampoo, If possible, and rub either
olive oil or petroleum derivntive Jelly
thoroughly into the scalp. This will
soften the scalp and any dust or dam
druf lodged on It.. Any ~fnvOrite soap
or shampoo preparation which does not
contain free alkali may be chosen for
the shampoo, but whatever is used
should be thoroughly rinsed out before
drying the hair. II possible, the dry
Ing process should be done in the sun,
rubbing the scalp gently upward with q
rotary motion. and brushing the hair
with 4 clean. rather sim brush.
II the hair is split at the ends, 1t will
be we'll to clip 1t or have 1t clipped.
For the next month It may be well to
keep at the rubbing Of oil into the scalp
and shampooing each week. although
under ordinary circumstances 1t is not
wise to wash the hair oftener than
once In three or -four weeks.

Good Coal From Refuse.

Various devices for economizing
fuel have been brought to notice in
Holland since the war caused a diff
fculty In procuring coal. 1t has
been found that 20 to IS per cent of
combustible material remains in fur
mace refuse and a device has been
constructed which preserves a large
part Of It. The refuse is finely ground
and placed in a liquid with a specific
gravity 4 little greater than that OF
wnter. This Is said to be very cheap,
generally a refuse from factories. The
mass Is agitated. the heavier particles
sink to the bottom. while the cOmbus-
