RELIABLE METHOD OF HAIR CARE

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about US and is probably
,the most easily damaged by bad or
lcareless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair, that dis
solves and entirely removes all
Sdandruff, excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at trifiing expense by
simply dissolving a teaspoonful of
canthrox (which you can get at
any druggist's), in a cup of hot
water. This makes 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
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates a 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
hufiness which makes it seem
much heavier than it is. After can
throx shampoo, arranging the hair
is a pleasure

These, of course. are strictly tailored
and have the appearance of belonging

same ties and link cuff buttons.
Another tailored model IS less Sc
we're than these, as it has a turned
down collar usually added OF some
heavier material than the sheer lawn

Is made. In one model the collar of
linen crash becomes a pointed rever
extending the entire front and fast
en!ng just below the yoke with one
large pearl button. Fine lawn is
used for the body of the blouse. The
cuffs which finish the long tight
sleeves. are folded back to fasten with
buttons or narrow bows OF black and
white ribbon.
The colored frills and scallops
which seem always to accompany
hlouses from overseas are plentifu!ly
seen this year. The blouse itself is
made OF the finest and loveliest hand
kerchief linen OF a simple shirtwaist
pattern. Double frills placed in jabot
effect down the front and forming the
collar in the back have scalloped
edges done in colors. OF course the all

wear-calico, masquerading as English
print and repeating all the designs
Of long ago, Is so much in demand
that large shops are put to it to keep
a sufficient supply. All sorts of trim
ming are used on the calico dresses.
Pipings of white, insets Of old fash
ioned Hamburg trimming and en-
broidery, tucked vests of lawn and
quantities Of rick-rack braid are found
among the old fashioned things now In
the new fashion. Rick-rack braid il
SO often seen that we find ourselves
wondering where it has been all these
years. I noticed It placed on a dark
blue calico frock along the bottom Of
the skirt, row after row, half the
depth from hem to knee. 1t appeared
also on belt and collar and sleeves.
In several instances rick-rack has been
used as hem of wash dresses, the tiny
points giving at least a novel look
when SO used. The stitched scallops of
white organdy, which were greatly
used last year, are again seen. These
are to be bought now ready to sew
In place and are used as 4dging for
tunics, sasl1es. sleeves and collars.
If I'm Doubt, Wear White.
As to colors. white is ahead of every
thing, both for morning wear and for
dressier occasions. One makes no mis-
take II the entire wardrobe for sum-
mer includes only white things. OF
course the pretty pale shades are ir-
resistible and few of us would have

exclude them entirely. For instance
who could pass by an organdy frock
OF apricot shade with a bodice of ac-
cordeo3 2leated organdy, the bottom
OF which ends In a little frilly over
blouse effect in front and which has
wide plain skirt with a knee deep
htm and a wide blue silk sash ending
in great bow in the back. The COM
panion frock Of white organdy Is love-
ly but not so much so as this peach
blow thing.
Ruffies trim everything-they are
often put on dress upside down,
that is pleated in very tiny pleats and
placed with the hem pointing up in
stead OF in the orthodox fashion OF
rufiies being sewed along the top Of the
frill with the hem pointing down. The
effect is good-this sort OF arrange
ment being used not only on the
dresses of wash materials but on
those OF silk and satin as well.
I have. already spoken Of the COM
bination of wash materials with every
other sort OF cloth and yet one is
constantly astonished at the way it is
done late Importation from Paris
shows a fine white serge dress with
q trimming Of two shades of hand
kerchief linen put on In a block de-
sign. We need not wonder at this
for did we not see frocks with straw
trimming earlier in the spring?
1t is interesting to note that at the
summer resorts women have returned
to our former way of dressing for the
different occasions a day brings forth,
rather than doing as We have been
doing for the past three years.

A Belgian blue Creation.
II is, OF course, simple to make and
therefore many women like to make
the simple wash dresses themselves
Skirts of thin materials are necessar-
lily somewhat wider and fuller than
those OF other and heavier fabrics.
The kimono sleeve. too. has returned
to favor. 1t Is of all things the sim
plest to fashlon-perhaps this ac-
counts for its persistent popularity.
Another combination of organdy
and net which / have much admired
Is shown in a gown of Belgian blue
organdy with an overdress of black
point d'esprit edged with very narrow
and filmy lace frills. This, however. is
the sort of dress IT requires an artist
to fashiOp for the combination OF black
net over a colored foundation cannot
always be successfully accomplished
by an amateur. Indeed what may be
intended for a thing of beauty only
results in something entirely differ
emit unless most skilfully handled
In the gown I have mentioned this
has been done. The organdy is used
as rather tight plain foundation with
straight and unbroken lines, while the
net Is placed in sort of split tunic
effect at both sides to reveal the Or
CANDY beneath. The waist also has
the same plain and severe lines and
only n wide sash Of black MORE is used
to break the long straight effect.

Those Of us who have long known or
CANDY will recall the yards of tucks
with which these dresses were for
merly ornamented. Tho tucks, too, are
in great favor again, not so much for
the newer MORE material as for the
plain sheer fabrics. A very lovely pink
organdy dress exploits the tucked
apron effect to excellent advantage.
The dress itself has the same simple
lines seen in the majority Of thin
dresses.
The skirt, gathered simply on a
band. has most of the fulness placed
at the back. A deep apron tucked
with two-inch- wide tucks Is hung in
the front exactly as any other apron
would be worn. Two small pockets
are placed on the apron, one at each
side. The waist has no distinguishing
features as it is OF shirt waist plain

tied in big bow at the back finishes
the waist.

THERE is a great vogue at present
for chains of all sorts.

TNHEtE Is great vogue at present
for chains OF all sorts.
The sautoirs made Of colored
glass beads strung on threads and
worked into flower or conven-
tional designs are still much
worn-the ones which were started
on their present vogue when
they came to us as the handiwork of
the war wounded in France Those II
is difficult to make yourself. but they
are very attractive. and one hardly
grudges spending the necessary sum
for one. They are worn with dark
frocks and with light blouses-but
they are worn, OF course, only in the
day time.
Indeed, none OF the new chains is
worn with evening frocks. For even
ing wear the chain OF real stones is
preferred.
There is comparatively little intrinsic
value to any OF the bead chains-the
ones made OF big beads as we'll as the
sautolrs made Of small beads. The
whole charm OF them lies in the color
combinations and the grouping OF
beads. And as they are comparatively
inexpensive they may be possessed in
the plural-so that one may wear q
different chain with each frock il one
wishes.
For instance, with thin frock OF
white and apple green and black one
might have a chain OF apple green and
opaque white beads strung on a black
silk cord For a white frock one nigh,
have pink beads and white bone ones
strung on a silver ribbon. For a frock

Bead Chains Attain Their Popularity

OF lemon yellow one might have brown
carved wooden beads strung on brown
cord, with perhaps violet pendant.
At all events, il is quite possible to
have several of these chains. and then
II is obligatory with the necessity 10
be we'll dressed to wear each chain
only with those frocks with which 1t
looks well.
II you make them yourself, these
chains of beads, the best thing to do Is
TO look about in the shops at those all
made up, and then look for the beads.
You can usually get them at an ORR
entail department in department
store.
Now, when you have seen what kind
OF chain you want and then have seen
what kind OF beads you can make it
from you can begin to work.
1t is only possible, in most places. to
get a rather heavy sort OF silk cord to
work with. This will do. however, for
many of the beads. Be sure. though,
TO buy the cord first and then buy
beads you can string on 1t. 1t IN pos
sible usually TO work the hole OF
wooden beads bigger with a knife or
scissors blade. But the glass beads
must be used rs they are.
Sometimes you can pull out the in
side OF the silk cord and cut II off for
an inch or so at one end and string
from this end. This makes the cord
thinner, and by waxing it or moisten-
Ing 1t you can work It into a compa M :

As to the summer frocks for morn
ing wear those OF Bingham or calico
rival in favor those OF printed voiles
with dark backgrounds. No material is
quite so practical for this sort OF
dress as these dark printed voiles
Those with n dark blue background arc
the most popular. They do not crum-
pie as do the fabrics OF crisper and
sheerer surface. The fashion, too, OF
wearing wide collars, sashes and cuffs
OF white organdy serves to relieve any
sombre effect. AS rule the surface OF
the dark fabric is closely covered
with big white sprawling designs and
now and then one finds these figures
in tan or a lighter shade of blue.
The style OF these dresses is Of the
simplest. In fact they are often made
without fastcnings except for three
hooks sewn ON the inside belt at the
waist. which hold the dress together
and one snap to fasten the skirt at the
side. The waist is in sort OF fichu
or surplice effect I'm front and the wide
white sash is put onto the cross front
pieces OF the blue wolfe and brought
around the waist to tie in the back
As the size is readily adjusted BY
means OF this sash 1t is easy enough to
see that no fastenings are needed
What could be simpler to make and
to wear-as said in the beginning?
If women have had no other enamel
patton than in the way of making
clothes we sho1S be eternally grateful
II for this aldCC- Perhaps, too. this
simplicity of clothing presages a CON-
Ing simplicity of housekeeping 10
which we shall buy all of our food

wearing apparel.

and an overblouse OF palest green
dotted swiss?
The bottom of the blouse has a gar
land effect along the turned back hem
outlined in several rows of narrow
valenciennes lace. The rest OF the
blouse has no trimming, except a belt
OF white organdy. with lace Of frilled
edges. and the short sleeves also are
finished with the narrow frills appear
ing likewise on the deep square COL
lar cut away to a set point in front.
The extreme simplicity of this little
dress stamps it, as well as does the
beauty.
A companion dress to this Is seen
In a yellow and white one piece affair,
OF which the upper part Is a long
waist of white organdy and the skirt
a really deep hem OF yellow and white
checked Bingham. This carries out
the same lines as the first mentioned
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-06-29

Now because there is much talk of
these newer models we must not for a
moment think that the regulation
blouse or shirtwaist Is out OF favor,
Indeed II IS not. and it is repeated in
just as many materials as there are
factories to make them. The kimOno
type with its slip-on ease is still much
favored for the dressier blouses Of
georgette or chiffon. Many have rather
tight foundations over which IS hung
a panel OF contrasting color back and
front. This panel. while short. is left
to hang free over the skirt and IL
smart in appearance. The sleeves OF
this blouse are of the same color and
material as the body. One often finds
this type OF waist enveloped in a
combination OF organdy and linen or
pique or heavy lawn. The effect is
pleasing and unusual too.

IS the gray suede pump. A new
cleansing powder which keeps it fresh
and new is also on the market, and
thus the gray shoe is practical.
A charming accessory to the sum-
mer wardrobe is the pettitcoat of crepe
de chine or wash satin. These are
made without an extra inch OF fulness
and fitted on an elastic waistband
which permits them to be worn by
any one. The crepe de chine petit
coats have no frills, but are scalloped
along the bottom with heavy white

silk thread Just as are babies flannel
skirts. The wash satins, though, more
often have not only ruffles along the
bottom but tucks and now and then
flounce OF lace to beautify them.
Foundation slips of the same materials
are practical and necessary. and as
they are made with only the narrowest
of ribbons over the shoulders they are
just the thing needed as lining for the
thin organdy. wolfe or chiffon frock.
These Sips are as elaborate or as sim
pie as one desires. They are often
deliberately embroidered and befiounced
