the air and become soiled against the
screens.
While many beds are charming in ere
tonne or figured covering, still the most
sensible Summer bed covering is the
scrim or dimity bed covers which first be-
came so popular in hospitals. They are
light in weight, can be washed, even by
the housekeeper herself, and need no pin
ming or ironing. They should be narrow
enough to allow plenty of air to circulate
underneath the bed, which is an important
point often neglected.
Many small changes in the kitchen, too,
will make for the workers Summer COM
fort. For instance, proper ventilation
should be provided. 1t costs only couple
of dollars to have installed in the wall
near the ceiling a register such as used
by hot air furnaces. This will carry off
surplus odors and heat. Or an electric
fan may be placed on a small shelf near
the ceiling or on top of closet to cool the
upper air. Many a man who wouldn't tol-
crate his office without an electric fan,
never thinks how excellent it would be for
his wife in the torrid. kitchen.
Windows should be screened from the
top to obtain cross ventilation and prevent
flies That form of flypaper which comes
in the shape of a spool of sticky tape may
be fastened to the ceiling. This is safer
than the poison kind in the kitchen.
If possible there should be provided
back entry, or porch, where vegetables can
be cleaned Often, in suburban regions,
unnecessary dirt is carried into the kitchen
on earth-covered vegetables, which could
be quite as we'll cleaned outdoors.
A Service shelf is an excellent idea.
This consists of some wide shelf, prefer
ably high enough so no dog or child can
reach it, 1t may even have different parti-
tions where the different articles OF gro
ceries. laundry, etc. may be delivered safe
ly, if the hOusekeeper is not at home. On
this back porch, too. is the best and airiest
place for all the cleaning tools, mops,
buckets, etc, which may be enclosed in a
small closet and arranged or hung, each
in its proper place.

A specialist has perfected a pure

really stays on until you wash it of.
It does not contain white read or
starchy rice powder to make it stick.
White lead poisons the skin and rice
powder turns into a gluey paste that
enlarged pores, black
heads and rice powder pimples. This
improved formula contains a medi-
cinal powder doctors use to heal the
skin. In fact, this new powder helps
to prevent and reduce enlarged
pores, blackheads and pimples. 1t
Is also astringent, discouraging fab
biness, crows feet and wrinkles. This
unusual powder is called La-May

Making Your Hair Beautiful
By Leonard Keene HrShberg,
A. B.. M. A., NJ. D. OOhns HOpkins)

TvTHEN a woman has a dress made
W the first question she usually asks
" herself, II she is keen about what
is beautiful and becoming to herself. is
how do the lines fallf II she is at all
doubtful she asks. the opinion OF the litter
and has her ideas confirmed or her con-
science eased. The problem Of becoming
lines is also faced by the stylish woman
who would have her hair becoming.
Study the lines Of your face. Notice
your profile in particular, and II It is shape
ly. perhaps a part in the centre Of your
hair will bring out the perfect lines of your
nose and mouth. II your profile Is irregu-
iar, it were perhaps better to try a part
on the side and high waved roll brought
down over the centre or side Of your fore
head and so make the shape of your entire
head oval. A high coiffure not too Tar
brought forward can also add to your gen.
eral height II that is what you need
Comb your hair gently, starting from
bottom and gradually working upward. II
You comb II this way you will not give
your hair a chance to knot as IT does when
you remove the kinks from the scalp
downward
When you thus comb your hair notice
whether there are dandruff particles In the
air falling like so many fakes of snow
Run your fingers across your scalp through
the strands after you have smoothed them
out and notice whether your fingers en-
counter something like a layer of soft
matter. II this Is true. 1t Is most probably
layer Of dandruh, hardened into q coating
over the scalp.
The best possible remedy for a coat Of
dandruff Is a good shampoo, consisting of
warm water, CASTLE soap, a tiny bit of
washing soda and few drops Of coal oil
The soap should be washed into the
water with brush 30 as to make the water
soft. II more soap is needed in the wash
ing process rub 1t on the hands and not
the scalp.
The piece Of washing soda is put into
the water in order to remove from the
scalp every possible piece of removable
dirt that may have settled there. Do not
put in more Of this than a few grains for
too much Of 1t will eat away the roots Of
the hair.
The coal oil adds gloss and fuZziness to
the hair which hardly anything else can
replace. After the hair is washed again
with lukewarm rinsing water in which a

and down stairs for change for peddler or
delivery man takes untold time. 1t is a
good plan to keep change down stairs.
Also use a card for ice delivery to avoid
useless effort on the part of the man to
see If ice is needed. By requiring only one
delivery a day there will be less door
answering.
In her own attire the housewife should
aim for the maximum of comfort. Now
that boomers have been made so popular
by women war-workers it may be that
women in the home will take to them.

tiny bit Of CASTLE soap has been washed
for softness, the odor Of the kerosene will
entirely, disappear
Wiring out the hair strands when you
have finished with this shampoo, and wrap
. dry, clean Turkish towel around Il 90 as
to dry it. Then take down your hair and
let 1t float about your shoulders while you
sit in the centre Of your back yard with
the sun pouring its rays upon IT, The sun
acts like a tonic for your hair, makes it
fuzzy and helps prevent dirt by absolutely
drying all the moisture on the scalp.
You viii find that such q shampoo re-
peated once or twice win make your hair
much less oily, and win even crimp 1t
somewhat. You may even have to din the
comb in water two or three tines when
you comb it for dress in order to set it
right.
Experiment with your hair in this con-
dition, and find out which parts and which
puffs suit the lines Of your face best, and
keep the best style. At times you win
look entirely different. sometimes older
and at times younger, now more frivolous
OF more seudle, according 70 the 1lyie OF
couture you adopt
Never lose sight Of the hygisnic aspect
Of the scalp, and do not forget 70 constant
ly care for your hair as you would for your
face. Run your fingers through your hair
strands every night so as to give your
scalp dry massage. Use only the eush-
ions Of your fingers in the process.
Comb out your hair every night, comb
it back every night and plait II In . loose
braid You thus accustom your scalp to
bear the hair fixed in any style, and some
times, when you wish a different style Of
coiffure, yoU will not have TO suffer for
several days with a sore scalp; or when
you wish to make a new part. your scalp
will not be sore.
Soreness Of the scalp oftea comes from
combing the hair Just one way and from
not massaging the scalp frequently. The
movement of the fingers opens the pores
Of the scalp and thus prevents soreness.
Not only does frequent massage prevent
soreness, but It also makes for cleanliness
Of the hair, for a silky gloss, a. wen As for
greater stiffness Of the strands.
Shampoo every two or three to four
weeks, and more frequently II your hair is
oily; massage and experimentation will
perhaps make your hair az enViable as
your neighbor made hers.

= Why should it always be dressed the
same? Certainly it is as reasonable to
change the outward appearance Of the
home to conform 10 Summer weather as to
change our attire to make us better able
to withstand the Summers heat.
There are two objects to be achieved in
Summer furnishings-one to permit as
much air as possible and the other to have
the fewest possible hangings to catch dust.
Materials of plush, silk, fabric, etc, will
fade in the Summer sun, and should be re-
placed by cotton in sunfast or white, OF
the simplest design. Before laying away
give a thorough shaking and pack with tar
paper in a cool, mothproof closet or chest.
Pillows of silk may be covered with linene,
denim or the variegated cretonne which so
well withstands wear. Outdoor couches
may be covered with crash, denim, monks
cloth or burlap in plain colors which will
require no washing.
The fewer the objects in a room, the
cooler and more restful it will be. We
NAV take as an excellent model for Sum-
mertime housekeeping, the homes of the
Japanese, where there are no chairs and
only one picture, vase or other object of
beauty in the room. This is the time to
lay bric-a-brac away in case, to rob the
overloaded mantel or platerail of its
"curios," and make the sideboard more

of many silver pieces.

When all the camp was still?
It's queer the thoughts you al
ways think,
The dreams that come and go
And the pictures you draw with

In the wood fires friendly glow.
And you dream and dream as the
night wears on
And you find yourself dreaming
again
The dreams that have come and
those that have gone
Since taps sounded out at ten.
The pungent smoke from your
good old pipe
Curtis up in wreaths and rings
And hovers around rather listless
like
Over gunracks, lockers and
things.
As it lifts and shifts and curls
and twists,
1t forms in a hazy ring
Around the face Of the purest girl
That the. years could ever
bring.
Then you snuggle down in your

Soon your heavy eyelids close,
But you steal a peep in the back
of your watch
Ere you doze and doze and doze
