TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty of the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissolving 4 teaspoonful of Can
throX. which can be obtained from
any druggist, in a cup of hot water.
This makes { full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just to the
top of the head. This, when rubbed
into the scalp and onto every strand
of hair, chemically dissolves all i'm
purities. 1t is very soothing and cool
ing in its action. as we'll as beneficial
to both scalp and hair. After rinsing
out the lather so created, you will find
the scalp is fresh, clean and free from
dandruff while the hair dries quickly
and evenly developing a bright luster
and soft fluffiness that makes it
seem very heavy.-Adv.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Honey for Sweets.
Edited by ANNE RIrTENHOUsE

If we choose to look on the pic
turesque side of things we may regard
the present sugar situation in our
households as but a reversion to
colonial conditions. If we cherish our
colonial chairs and tables pewter can
dlesticks and spinning wheels. why
shouldn't we take some sort of salts
faction in thinking that we make use
of sweets now in very much the same
way that our great-great-g reat-great-
grandmothers did?
1t was only in the most amply pro-
vided houses, in fact, that any more
than the merest samples of real sugar
was known. Many families both in
New England and the south obtained
all their sweetening from maple sugar
and honey. Better off were they who
always had a piece of loaf sugar on
hand to sweeten the cup of tea for the
favored guest. Usually only one cone
of sugar came into the house each year
and this was cherished and guarded
with the greatest care. For all cook
ing purposes honey or sometimes
maple sugar was used.
And now we are being urged to use
honey as substitute for the usual
white sugar in cooking. And the only
difficulty about doing it is that so far
have we travelled since colonial days
that our recipe books give scarcely
recipe calling for honey. We may be
sure that honey satisfies the same
craving and demand of the human
machine that sugar does and that it is
perhaps even more wholesome in the
diet than sugar. One good way of
making use of il is in serving such
things as waffles or fritters for des-
sert and serving strained honey with
them. The fritters themselves need
contain no sugar whatever in the max
ing Fried rice or rice croquettes
make an excellent dessert to serve with
honey.
clever cook can find a way to use
honey instead of white sugar in a great
many desserts. Honey is trifle more
concentrated in its sweetness, SO too
much should not be used. A good
many of our historic American dishes
wers made originally with honey, and
it is only within recent years COM
paratively that white sugar has been
substituted. The old-fashioned New
England pumpkin pie always was
made with honey. To make it in this
way use your usual recipe. save for the
sugar. then when all ingredients are in
it add honey till it is as sweet as you
like it If you have two cups of milk
in your recipe you would be- safe in
beginning with a half cup of honey,
and then test It from that point.
Honey can be substituted for sugar
in corn bread recipes to good advan-
tage, and also in a rich chocolate loaf
cake mixture.
AS a matter of fact many persons do
not like the flavor of honey after it is
cooked. For this reason it is good
often as possible. That Is. use it on
such things as waffles and croquettes
in which no sugar Is used In the max
ing.

part of our patriotic attitude is to ac-
cept this condition with a smile. we
use our ingenuity to get hold of some
thing that is easily had and Is not

Trim Gown With Upholstery Cord.
One designer found that he could
buy a mass of thick, heavy upholstery
cords at a reasonable price, and he
determined to trim gowns with them.
The result was successful. You can
see it in the sketch which is given
today.
Black satin is the foundation, black
chiffon is the collar that hangs half
way to the waist in back. and the rest
is upholstery cords. They are the
kind you use on curtains and cushions,
thick, silken cords that give character
to a plain surface.
The skirt of this gown bulges a lit
tie at the knees Is one walks, and
slopes sharply down to frightened
of curtain cords which are rolled into
knots at the end in the fashion that
upholSterers have, resembles music
notes. Around the waist is a long cord
that is caught in a huge knot at the
side and has two ends that drop nearly
to the hem of the skirt. In looking
at the gown you have a terrifying
temptation to pull the cords and see
if the skirt will draw back.
