usually tries tactfully to guide a wom- an in the selection of the right colors when she purchases a single article of apparel, like a suit or frock or a hat.
 But where so many women detract instead of adding to their personal attractiveness is in the colors with which they completely surround them selves. To begin at the clothes ques- tion. One sees very often woman with a most becoming color of hat which is made to suffer, however, because the frock is violently clash ing shade!
 Color Cheapest Beauty Aid
 It is possible to use colors clever ly in our attire, and also in our rooms so that they are not merely beauti- full in themselves but help to glori- fly our persons. Color is the cheapest of all beauty aids. It costs no more to get becoming color that it does to select one which does not harmonize so well. A green gown costs no more than blue one but how great may be the difference in the appearance of the Wearer! Far in excess of the extra effort it required to make the more judicious selection.
 I remember wildly an interesting illustration of the use of color. I visited the New York apartment of 1 a once famous singer who had since

The Princess of Modena, in retirement at the Val de Grace, singled her out from the choir and induced her to join the royal choir. This step paw ed the way for her to appear in the Parisian opera, where she soon be- came a great favorite. She died in 1862, at the age of sixty-two. In the beginning of the French revolution she bought the. parsonage at Luz arche, to which she retired.

URGE WOMEN TO
 GIVE SERVICES FOR NURSING
State Council of Defense Points Out Great Need in
 Present Emergency.
GAN BE USEFUL
 EVEN NOT TRAINED
Volunteers Now Will Be Able to Prevent Much Suf-
 fering in the State.

Hartford, Oct. 16-Women of Con- necticut, even though they are not trained nurses, were today urged by the State Department of Health to volunteer their services for the dura- tion of the Spanish influenza epidem- ic.
 It was pointed out that because so many doctors and nurses have enter ed the national service, the state is short of both, and that since whole families are stricken with the epidem- ic, there would be need of women vol unteers even if the normal number of doctors and nurses were available. Women, it was said, should volun- teer their services through some cen- tral organization in their respective towns. Each woman should take charge of at least two families. They should see that the housework is kept up and meals prepared.
 Without such help from the wom- en of the state, Health Department officials said that the mental and phy- sical suffering in many families would 1 OC bCyO On6 QOC- tor declared that in one family he visited the father was found to have | been suffering from influenza and to 1 be extremely weak. Two children were suffering from whooping cough I complicated by grippe, the mother was in bed, prostrated by influenza and at her side another child was dy- ing. Thet doctor arrived late in the afternoon, and found that for forty | eight hours the entire family had
 been without medical attention, ami
 that none of them had anything tc
 eat or drink since the previous day | because they were too weak to leave
 their beds and prepare food. Be
 fore the mother was prostrated, she
 had cared for her sick husband an;
 children despite her own illness. l Consequently, the condition of hel | household when she was finally pros
 trated can better be imagined thar
 described" said the doctor. The
 doctor was asked what he did to re
 lieve the situation.
 'I did the only thing there was tc
 do," he replied. q rolled up m!
 sleeves, lighted a fire, washed soma
 dishes, cooked some cereal and gave
 the patients something to eat ant
 drink. I then tried in other ways tC
 relieve their physical condition, bu
 it was too late to do much good. Tn,
 baby died few minutes after my ar
 rival. The mothers condition i
 critical, and there is little hope fo
 her recovery. The fathers conditio, is worse, because of his grief. Whel } I arrived there was no outcry on tn
 part of the father or mother. Thei , attitude was one of resigned menta , and physical suffering."
 When this doctor made his mex call he found a family of three, hus ) band, wife and child. The mothe was .prostrated. Lying in bed besid } her was her cryng child, and in an other room was the father, so delirt ous that the doctor had to lock hin in while giving treatment to tn l mother and child. When the docto : returned to the father, the latter wa 2 dying.
 } Such situations explain why wom en volunteers are needed" said tn
 doctor.

WHY HAIR FALLS OUT

Dandruff' causes feverish irritation of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a a small bottle of Dam derine at any drug store, pour a little in your hand and rub well into the scalp. After a few applications all dandruff disappears and the hair stops coming out.-Adv.
