WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because il is a fad.
but because they wish 10 obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using ANYTHING
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise TO
use a makeshift but is always ad-
visaoie 10 use a preparation made
Tor shsmpooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at a cost
of about three cents a shampoo bv
getting some canthrox from your
druggist, and dissolving a teapoou-
ful in cup Of hot water. This
makes enough shampoo LIQUID TO an
ply to all the hair instead of lust the
top of the head, as with most preps-
rations. Dandruh, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
in the rinsing water. Your hair will
be so fluffy that il will look much
heavier than il is. Its luster and
softness viii also delight yoAcAAx

gates and assuage envious pangs with
cynical epigrams. Practically every
matron and maid in society responded
to the preparedness" and war ser
vice" movement which swept the
country last spring. Nearly three years
of war abroad have demonstrated the
success of their activities with re-
gard to various war relief organiza-
tions, and coupled with the impulse
of patriotism, there is small oppor-
tunity to doubt their ability in pos
sible national crisis. The debutantes
are eager to enist their services in
the Red Cross and the students at
the Theodorus Bailey Myers Mason
House, who have been under instrue-
tions in the art of war and its meas
ures of alleviation, are splendidly pre-
pared for active service.
Meanwhile the routine of the social
schedule is being observed in circles
not vitality affected by the pressure
of public business, which is occupy
ing the attention of diplomats and
statesmen. The Southern Relief Ball
went off with its customary eelat and
more than its usual financial success.
The Hunt Ball of the Riding and
Hunt Club, on Shrove Tuesday, term
mating a two-day horse show, will
lose none of its briiliance under
cloudy diplomatic skies. The Mardi
Gras Ball on the preceding evening
is of widespread interest among
Southerners who are also anticipat-
ing the Valentine costume dance OF
the Southern Society at the Willard
on Tuesday of this week.
Tomorrow evening the smartest cir
cles of society will attend the ball at
Rauschcr's for the benefit of the Wash
ington Diet Kitchen. For purely pri-
vate entertainments, there is the
Hawaiian Ball to be given Thursday
evening with Mrs. Howard Hume,
Miss Margaret McChord, and Miss
Ruth Hitchcock as hostesses. Mrs.
Hume's mother, Mrs. William Hay
wood, has loaned her residence for
the occasion. The ballroom is to be
converted into an Hawaiian garden
with Hawaiian music and the guests
will be in costume, This is the first of
the novel and altogether delightful
Hawaiian parties to be given in
Washington, which seems rather
strange after the vogue for the pic
turesque island atmosphere which
swept New York and Palm Beach

the pitiable helplessness of it, his
great heart bled for them, and he
went up into mountain, where, lost
to the madding throng, he might be
"a little while alone.
Up on the cool, clear heights, where
one might walk with God, where the
winged chariots Of angels seem to
swing low, where the inimitable beau
ty of the world-old miracle of the
dawn and the glory of eternal sunsets
make glad the souls of men, where
like the mighty anthem of the spheres
come faint and vague the subdued
noises of the busy marts of the werld.
While of the people there were none
With him, one came of kindred soul,
"a man of sorrow and acquainted with
grief" Like the ceaseless roar OF
restless ocean there came to them the
rattle of musketry, the roar of can.
non and the cries of battle.
And he opened his mouth and
taught him. saying:
Blessed are they who for humanity's
sake die meath the purpling shadows
OF bleak hills and in the dark silences
of lonely valleys, for theirs is an un.
dying heritage.
Blessed are they-those hearts be.
reft, cause to be just, shall. though
broken hearted and soul oppressed
fail not their country's need: for
theirs is the victor's crown
Blessed are they-those little chfl.
dren orphaned by the greed and ay-
arice of royal decree; for God tempers
the wind to the shorn lamb.
Blessed are they-those hearts be.
reft, who shall never more know the
sweet caress nor the dear devotion of
a lover; for they shall be comforted
| Blessed are they-those heroes who
offer themselves sacrifice to the
mad fury of the cannon and unfiinch.
