Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alco- hol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome An easier way is to get the ready-tQ-use preparation inn proved by the addition of other in- gradients a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sim full, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness.

SPICE OF LIFE IN VARIETY OF SUMMER

Small Hats Often Have Very High Crowns, and Medium Ones Have Surprising Lot of Personality, Says Fashion Expert

New York's Fashion Authority


 NEW YORK-If variety is really the spice of life as we are told it is, then the hats of 1920 are calculated to contribute to it good bit of high sea- soning, especially the hats designed for summer.
 To begin with, there are large ones, small ones and medium. The large ones are huge things with pot shaped or mound shaped crowns, and with very stiff or very Happy brims. The new large hats which Paris has suddenly ordered into fashion again are wonder full creations. made not only of straw but also of various fabrics and strange combinations such as lace or chiffon and duvetyn, horsehair and ribbon, velvet with tulle.
 Possess Personality
 The small hats are very small, but oftentimes with unproportionately high crowns, and the medium ones are dis tinctly medium, but with much more personality to them than medium hats usually posses, as witness the one Martha Pierre wears in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1920.
 In tunefuI Irene" at the Vanderbilt theater among many smart hats is the one illustrated of white tulle and lace. The hat itself turns up abruptly. diag- onally across the face with struggling g cluster of forget-me nots dropping from the point thus made at the right side.
 The crown of it is of soft white lace draped a bit and wound with flowers, and the bri mis first faced with sev- eral layers of the tulle then it's wired edge softened by the frilling of plaited tulle.
