The Elephant and Castle was fa-

land, deriving It's sign from the arms
OF the Cutters company. a tavern in
st. Pancras parish, London, took Its
sign from the skeleton OF an elephant,
beside which was a tlint-headed spear,
excavated IN the neighborhood. The
connection between these two relics
and the battle fought by the followers

A great many of the youthful frocks
this spring are of taffeta-delightful
little frocks. crisp and ruffiy, with short
sleeves and short skirts. Some of these
frocks have panels with small ruffies all
the way up gathered at either side of

OF hairs. In youth new hairs are al
ways springing out from the scalp;
they stand up in a little halo or
aureole which shows plainly when the
head is seen against a strong light.
And these new hairs grow like the
longer ones and keep the tresses thick
and abundant. AS age increases fewer
new hairs sprout up and those already
in the scalp gradually fall out unui
the locks become thin and spindllng.
This thinning of the hair may be pre-
vented or put off, just as wrinkles anu
super1uous flesh are prevented or put
off-by proper treatment. But very
few women have their hair regularly
and scientifically doctored.
Such treatment includes message OF
the scalp, smuggling Of the hairs and
applications of special nourishing
tones. It pays to go to professional
once year and have a course of hair
treatments. You will be amazed to
find how your hair responds in greater
virility, softness and abundance and
how the little aureole of new hairs
that is so suggestive of youth will
spring out from your scalp.
And a word about washing your
hair at home. If it IS white, or even
showing threads of white be careful
not to use too strong a soap (and
never. never any washing soda), for
strong soaps and soda will turn white
hair an ugly yellow. Use pinch OF
borax to soften the water and wash
the hair only with pure white soap.
The masculine shaving soap which
makes such a good lather is splendid.
If the hair is white put a very little
blueing into the rinsing water to give
that lovely silvery tone which is so
much admired. And do not be dis

roses with stems and leaves are APP

with an embroidery stitch. The sash
goes twice around the waist and its
ends fall below the skirt at one side.

cinating style is in gray tone. Narrow

Very Short Sleeves For Girlhood
Instead of growing longer sleeves
have grown shorter. Some frocks for
young women have no sleeves at all,
the armhole finishing the bodice at
either side. A frock of this kind is
made of wide MORE ribbons used YER
tically and set together with chenille
braid--yellow ribbons and black
chenille. There is a simple round
neckline, no sleeves and no sash. But
the frock is tremendously chic. Sum

sleeve that stops considerably above

couraged because your hair is turning
gray. There is nothing quite so smart
as well arranged gray hair, with a
smart little hat-and perhaps a pair
of becoming earrings to give life and
dash to the effect. After the hair has
become white, or very gray you will
have to choose a new color scheme in
dress and you will find you can wear
some shades you never could wear
