IF YOU ARE WELL BRED

You will, unless a widow, have
your cards engraved with your hus-
bands initials or name. A widow
correctly uses her maiden name as,
Mrs. Elizabeth Craig Brown. This
distinguishes the widow from the
matron whose husband is living.
You will have cards engraved
bearing the name of yourself and
your daughter who is doing her first
season socially. A young girl, just
out, rarely carries her W cards,
for her mother is supposed to make
most of her calls with her. Even
though she occasionally calls alone
she uses the same card, merely run
ming a pencil line through her
mothers name.
You will not, in making a business
call on a man, send in your card. A
woman under such circumstances
merely gives her lame to the secre-
tary or attendant.

BEAUTY HINTS
BY NINE.

PARIS-Hair getting thin and
lifeless? Little bit worried about it,
of course. Have to give it more at
t~entionl
The simplest kind OF a tonic and
one which works wonders with hair
which is simply dull and losing its
life can be made with bay rum, can
tharides and castor oil.
Mix six ounces of bay rum, n
ounce Of castor oil and Il ounce
cantharides we'll.
Apply a little of the mixture to
the scalp every evening. Rub ii in
with fingers firm but light. Rub it
so thoroughly that your scalp feels
loose and glowing.
Watch your hair brighten up after
a few weeks of such treatment!
Then, of course. If you hair is
light you'll want to know just how
to use the lemons for your shampoo.
The best proportion is the juice of
three lemons to n quart of hot
water. About a tablespoon of salts
of tartar is a wise addition.
Such a shampoo brings out the
lights. II will never leave your hair
in that %unlovely drab state you so
often find after you finish a shampoo
with ordinary soap.

These very unique novelties are

Jewel boxes, handkerchief boxes and
picture frames lend themselves quite
naturally to the decoration of bro
cade, gold lace, tiny flowers and rib
bons. But the adoption to the comb

clever. The adherence to a color
