you heard OF Foch blue and Haig red?

T0DAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary TO shampoo
your hair 30 frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly c!eunsed each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest 70 use and
quickest drying shampoo that va
can recommend 10 our readers IS
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful Of canthroX,
which can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup Of hot water,
This makes a 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 impurities. It is very
soothing and cooling in its action,
as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rins.ng out the

DRAFT BOARD FORMS CLUB

Plans as thus far developed for the
10 Club, call for the ultimate hous-
ing OF that organization under its own
roof. However. for the time being, the
club has its headquarters at the Harlem
Board of Commerce. at 125th street and
Lenox avenue. where the local board
has its Offices, In order 10 carry on the
work at hand the club needs quite q
little money. To raise some, Il has been
arranged to hold a theatrical benefit at
Loew's Seventh avenue theatre on Mon
day night. Feb, II. Rock bye Baby"
Broadway attraction, will be the
feature, with vaudeville turns inter-
spersed between acts.
The scope of the 10 Club is quite
extensive. All the twenty-five doctors
who helped examine the draft men have
volunteered their services TO the re-
turned soldiers The lawyers who
served on the legal advisory board have
made a similar offer to the drafted
men-and tho enlisted men from the

l observe q tendency to much braid
Ing, both In the nat, narrow silken
bralds, OF which row after row Is used
and placed both on the skirt and coat,
and also the heavy silken cords are
much used. The latter appears in an
unusual effect In a tan whipcord, three
rows OF heavy silken cord of a darker
shade being placed side by side to form
collar at the back and extending
along the front side of the box coat.
At the waist the cords pass through a
small flap of the whipcord and end in
an ornamental fiat silken disc at the
bottom.

The fiat silk braid Is used to give
the pulled-in effect at the bottom of
the skirt, where one row will be
placed above the other nearly to the
depth of the knees. Again wider braid
appears in a multitude OF small loops
set in rows along the bottom Of the
skirt and coat.
or course we have all noted that the
vest. waistcoat, gilet or blouse. what
ever one chooses to call the smart lit
tie things We will wear underneath
our box coats, are the distinguishing
feature OF this years model. These
little colored accessories are a Joy to
tho eye and are exceedingly becoming
to most figures.
Some OF the newest are Of organdy

an apron effect at the bottom. which is
worn outside in the front. Narrow

used in this fashion. They are Of

OF course the gilet now and then has
a sash to give a draped line over the

model I have mentioned above. but
as yet the box coat for the greater
| number OF models reaches so far below
the waist line that the sash does not
appear and is not necessary.

Tor 80 long q time now women
- have come to accept the tai
lored coat suit As the very
foundation Of their wardrobes that II
is the first consideration as the sea-
sons change. Especially is this true
OF the average woman whose wishes
are controlled by expediency and de-
termined by absolute need. There is
no doubt about the fact that American
manufacturers have developed the su-
preme art in the making of the coat
suit 1t is now possible to buy such
suits, so well built so perfectly de-
signed. that few tailors can excel, for
as great care is given to detail as the
master makes themselves can show.
Some foreign critic has said that
there Is such a monotony about the
clothes OF American women that It is
as II every one were trying to be as
much like her neighbor as possible, and
originality Is an unknown sartorial art
IN this country. am sure this critic
must have referred to the blue serge
suits, for 1t In undeniably the custom
to clothe ourselves in dark blue, rest
ing secure in the choice of color and
Its suitability for all occasions.
Let none hesitate this spring. for our
favored blues are delightful to behold
and lovely to wear. AS has been noted
already. the smart little box coat with
its vest Of contrasting material is the
model most In evidence at the opening
OF the spring showing. A new mate
rial coming from London is a dark
blue basket weave. loosely enough
woven to be almost transparent and
resembling the summer crashes of
some seasons back. except that 1t has
q smoother surface.
Plain and Marrow skirt.
One suit Of this material has the
tzame narrow and very plain skirt seen
in all of the other models. The coat is
OF the box type, shorter than most and
with a rounding Jacket and tight bell
sleeves. With this coat is seen a vest
of gray surah silk shot through with
a scroll Of darker gray. The vestee Is
loosely hung over the bust and at the
hips Is wrapped in a loose sash effect
very baggy, and we'll below the waist
line. The sleeves are finished with a
cuff placed inside the blue and made of
the gray scrolled silk.
OF course tricolette. tricoline and
other knitted fabrics are newer than
all others, and will be smart indeed
Gabardine and whipcord are extremely
fashionable as well, and an old ma
terial ALWAYS a fayorite and delight
fully exploited this year is silk poplin.
