The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used It to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac.
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect
But brewing at home Is mussy and
ou~t-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation.
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, which be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair 30 naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. It becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

The Roman Sestertius.

Sestertius is the Latin name for
Roman coin meaning half of the third
that is, two and half, from semi"
meaning half and "tertius" meaning
third.
When silver coinage was introduced
In Rome in 26S b. o., with the copper
as a unit, the silver sestertius was
valued at 21a asses. The standard as
retained only one-fourth of its original
weight. The sestertius was equiva-
lent TO the original libral as; and, as
accounts had formerly been made in
terms Of the libral as they were now
made in terms of the sestertil. After
the first Punic war, which ended 241
B. c., the sestertius ceased to be
coined. The weight of the as was many
times reduced. In PIT b. G. the de
narius was made equal to 16 asses
and the sestertius to asses. With
the reorganization of the coinage sys-
TEN under Augustus (63 B. c. to IA
A. d. q copper sestertius of asses
was coined under the control Of the
senate. This was about cents In
United States money.

RUGS USED IN ALL AGES
Ancient Chroniclers Have Left Ae-
counts of Various Remarkable
Products of the Loom.

In all ages rugs have been used for
religious purposes. Up TO the present
time each member of the Persian and
Mohammedan family carries small
rug for prayer. The Mohammedan,
by means of a small compass, places
the rug where the niche points toward
Mecca, where the body of Mohammed
lies. He then strips himself Of all
his Jewels, combs his beard carefully,
and then, with hands outstretched on
either side, he prostrates himself and.
with head on the earth, performs his
devotions.
In Egypt Cleopatra had looms set
up in her palaces for the weaving OF
beautifully designed tapestries. When
Cleopatra wished audience with Gaze
sar, she had q bale Of rugs shipped
via Mediterranean. When this was
opened before the Roman emperor, a
most superb rug was unrolled, and to
the establishment of the court, the re-
nowned Egyptian queen rolled out
with 1t.
Virgil makes mention Of wonderful
rugs woven by women, rugs TO De
spread under the thrones of kings and
under the knees of courtiers, and laid
upon the backs Of horses and in the
chariots OF conquerors and generals.

THE shop WINDOWS and the streets
l. are furnishing a panorama of en-
ticing things for midsummer wear,
with dresses of sheer cotton fabrics
the outstanding item in the display.
Women have returned to fine and prac-
teal fabrics and are using the simpler
methods for decorating them, as tuckS,
frillS, ribbon borders and narrow lin
gerie lace. For the street, wolfe IS in
the lead, either plain or figured, en-
broidered or printed. Chiffon taffeta
Is its closest rival and Is often made
up with georgette crepe. Georgette
also redeems satin and makes it mid
summerish by supplying satin frOcks
with sleeves, tunic or other details in
their composition that make them look
cool.
For dressier frocks organdy and
voile are both used and st. Gall
swiSses with embroidered dots are re-
appearing at prices that are somewhat
lower than they were earlier in the
season. Wide tucks are in great favor
in wolfe and on organdy dresses, while
frills seem the natural order of things
for both swiss and Organdy. The lat
ter material is much used for collars,
cuffs, bands, sashes, f1chus and frills
on dresses of other materials.
In the picture above there is a
dress of white organdy at the left and
one of China blue wolfe at the right.
The organdy dress, worn by Irene Cas-
tie will help to uphold that talented
lady's enviable taste in the selection
of clothes. Frills Of lace make the
medallions and other trimming In the
skirt and rows of the same lace form
the deep cuff. The long sleeves and
collar high at the back are late limo
vations in summer styles. A wide tuck
headed by a frill Of lace calls atten'
ton to the distended hip line and even
the crushed girdle - Of organdy with
a little frill Of lace running along the
center of It. THE slender type Will
do well to study this dress; 1t will be
very kind to angles.

small spray of ribbon flowers acquit
themselves perfectly as finishing
touches. A bandeau of ribbons on the
head is substituted for boudoir cap
and proves an advantage in the direc-
ton of dignity.
Very pretty negligees Of lightweight
brocaded satinS and in novelty crepe
de chine are among the last addition
TO indoor clothes. They are usually
cut like long. loose and slightly draped

scription of true lithOphagus or

the northern part of France. This

NIEGLIGEES patterned after the
IN garb of Chinese women are de-
veloping popularity at a rate that
promises to make them rivals Of the
kmono. They prove to be comfortable,
practical and Unexpectedly becoming
especially to small women. Other
skirtless models reveal trouser-ward
trend In boudoir clothes, as is apparent
in any representative display Of such
garments. Turkish trousers of satin
or even of silk and metal tissues, over
low bodices, form the foundation for
long, loose coats Of crepe georgette
or chiffon, in the showiest and most
splendid examples Of negligees; so
there is plenty Of precedent for the
Chinese garments of much less mag
nificence, although nearly all of these
are fashioned in silk or satin which
Is more than fine enough.

Of Chinese inspiration is shown in the
figure at the left Of the two pictured

Striped skirts are now active rivals Of

conspicuous stripes are featured. Knife
plating is also being accorded great

TREASURES OF BUDDHIST ART
Centuries in the Temple Of

water was as good as daigoI' 1t is a
Buddhist word meaning an unctuous
