Hair is by far the most conspicu-
Gus thing about us and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. II we are very
careful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An especial
ly fine shampoo for this weather. one
that brings out all the natural beauty
-Af'he hair; that dissolves and entirely
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt; can easily be used at trifling
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox (Which you can
got at any druggist'sl in a cup OF
hot water. This makes n full cup of
shampoo liquid-enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead OF
just the top Of the head. This chem
icslly dissolves all impurities and
creates soothing, cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean, soft and plant, while the hair
takes on the glossy richness Of natural
color, also a fluffiness which makes
1t seem much heavier than 1t Is. After

The sale OF Hudson River pictures
last night In the galleries Of the Ameri-

cess. The crowd was not large, but X
was distinctly interested, and what ID
more, bid emphatically for the things II
wanted. So much SO that a record was
established. A picture by George II.
McCord brought 1850, which is the best
this artist has done at an auction.
The pictures came from tho estates OF
the late Miss Mary e. Garrett OF Balti-
more and of the late Robert NJ. Oily
plant, and as many OF tho works were
by painters who are no longer in the
height Of fashion, there was some con-
lecture as to the prices they would bring.
The result proves either that there Is a
large class Of picture lovers that are in
dependent Of fashion. or that the patri-
otic devotion to the native landscape,
which seemed to suffer an eclipse soms
years ago. has been reawakened by the
war.

$1,000. paid by Mrs. George L. Kellogg

PAXToN's PICTURES SHOWN.
Bold Color Schemes Characterize
His Works.

William McGregor Paxton il showing
a group of his most recent paintings In
the new Folsom Galleries and the gray
hangings of the room throw the brilliant
colors OF this artists palette into the
highest relief The search for more and
more color has led Mr.. Paxton, as IL did
George Luks. to the macaws and two OF
ton OF this extraordinary fowl.
From the masaw II was but a step TO
the Chinese embroidered Jacket and
Mr.. Paxton induced his model to take
1t. In one of the series OF Chinese robe
pictures Il would seem as II the painter
had gone as far as It IL necessary to
go in the way OF search for color
schemes and might confidently be ex-
pected after this to go In more and more
for soul study and less for its outer
wrappings.
In this picture the Chinese robe has
been draped in the background. II Is
true, but there Is plenty in front OF It
including a remarkably prepossessine
young woman. who Is clad in a citror
yellow frock with a wildly green ha,
upon which are some equally brilliant
red cherries. Also she grasps a bouquet
Of violets AS the young woman stand,
in front of a mirror the reflection in I,
OF the lemon yellows. nile greens, Grim.
son lakes, purples &c. can be better
imagined than described. But no April

composition.

Both arc interiors. The first shows @
young woman by a window playing O
guitar, while a friend listens by the
door. Both in this picture and In the
other in which young woman gets
tragic news by telegram, the accessories
are well handled. Mr.. Paxton's talent
seems to be for these rather Dutch ef.
fects. but II can be understood that the
macaws and Chinese robes are neces.
sary II one would attract the eye in the
academieal exhibitions. and Mr.. Paxtcr
has ambitions IN those directions
