MRS. GRUNDY: If it seems neces-
Sary that an unSavory rumor should
be related to certain of your friends
In order to prevent mistakes and
calamlties, you may report it; but use
discretion and reserve. 1t is best, as
a rule, never to repeat any gossip that
reaches you. 1t is sure to grow with
each rendition If it becomes your
duty to disclose it, you better verify
1t first, If possible. 1t is only just to
the persons involved to make sure of
the truth or falsity of the scandal
Then, too, you might find yourself
entangled in serious difficulties if YOU
should make disparaging statements
about anyone that you could not
prove.
NORMA: 1t is a very nice custom
for the mother of the bride to send all
the flowers used in the wedding deco
rations to some hospital the next
morning after an evening wedding. If
the event takes place in the daytime
the flowers may be sent as soon as the
guests have departed.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
WeII-known local druggist says every
body is using old-time recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
1lp a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive use only this old-time recipe
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at a time By morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and 1ustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or proven
ton of disease-Advertise

A little pamphlet, ''Unafraid." has
been issued recently by a Topeka
clergyman, DIR. S. S. Estey. which is

is printed reproduction of one of DR..
Estey's recent sermons. and is an ex-

Push in Clothes.

If you have just started out on some
worthwhile work-if you have decid
ed that you are going to help to solve
the food problem this summer by
Joining the farmerettes and playing
Maude Muller, or that you will be-
come an efficient motor driver so
that you can do your duty in that
capacity over seas, or if you have de-
cided to follow the lead of so many
English women and work in a NUM-
tions plant, or if you have just de-
clded that you will take a livelier in
terest in the affairs of your own
kitchen-if you have some such good
intentions, then one of the first
things you ought to do by way of Sc
curing success for your project is to
get the right clothes.
Ih1s may sound frivolous and it
may sound unpatriotic to suggest that
women think of clothes at all or
spend money when there are so many
apparently more important things to
think about and to spend money for
But those who know the real psychol-
ogy OF clothes know the Importance
OF clothes aS quickener of ambition.

could not possibly do their work so
well or with such dignity were thew
not buoyed up by the consciousness
that they were dressed for service
Ihere is great deal more than most
persons suppose in the force of
clothes.
1t is said that in the drive begun nv
the Germans against the English lines
idst month every last man in the arm
les was possessor of a new uniform
rms was no indication of the renewed
resources of Germany. To provide
those hundreds of thousands of new
uniforms must have meant conserva
ton at home of which we have no CON
cept The whole object in those new
UNIFORMS was to make the soldiers
fight better. The leaders of the Ger
man army understand the psychology
of clothes. They actually quicken
the pulses. The simplest fare seems
appetizing when we are conscious
that we look well and that our clothes
are new and sans reproach. And the
same thing holds true of the German
soldiers who could not possibly have
fought as well as they did had they
gone into action in the faded, worn
uniforms that had seen previous SER
vice.
So don't imagine for a moment that
you are indulging yourself when you
set about getting your service uniform
Get just the right outfit for the kind
of work you are going to do The
money expended in that way will be
well spent, indeed.

any other kind for twenty-five years
True, it's shape was somewhat modi-
fled to the demand of the hour and its
trimming was always slight, but her
firm conviction was that the head
must be framed in black, and that
was the foundation stone of her good
dressing.
Recently the world has taken this
conviction to itself. The milliners,
finding that the public preferred black
as frame for the head. put it for
ward in thousands of hats in every
curve, angle and line that space per-
mits.
Trimming dropped away from hats
of its own accord; the hatpin disap-
peared; the veil was lessened in popu-
1arity except in certain sections OF
society.
The Incoming of Brown.
Now there has come about change.
Some one. six months ago, made
loud clamor for trimming on hats. AT
the meetings of milliners' associations,
there was always frantic applause
when an endorsement was given to
elaboration of the bare shape that has
served so long as woman's headgear

AGAINST trimming began to bend so

brown to break down the stand of

thought it was fancy that would not
be sufficiently strong to follow, but
now they feel otherwise
paris wore a lively tone of brown

A Curious Innovation.
The sketch shows a French hat sug-

tulle and made in a fantastic manner.
LAYER upon layer of the fabric mounts

You will notice that the lower layer
of the tulle is unlined and drops over
