EASY TO. DARKEN
 YOUR CRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage Tea
 and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur. no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home Is mussy and trou- blesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addi- tion of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, becomes beautifully darkencd, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis- grace, is a sign of old age, and-as we all desire youthful and attrac- tive appearance. get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger

G ANITA ROSA, CAL.-One hundred
- and eighty-eight stalks of wheat
from a single graini That ia the most
recent production Of California's new
''plant wizard" Elwin D. Seaton, whose
discoveries and success in increasing
food production are startling the ag-
ricultural world. For lifetime Seaton
has devoted his hours to subjecting
the soil to microscopic examination
to attain Increased and better food
production. For the last seventeen
years he has made experiments on
his ranches-no so very far from that
other wizard" Luther Burbank.
Today he is able to produce from
one grain Of wheat 1888 stalks, carry
ing 1888 times as much wheat as for
merly. While these giant stalks cover
considerably more territory than the
former one stalk Of wheat, grown from
single grain, he is nevertheless pro-
ducing from seven to eight times as
much wheat per acre as has ever been
produced before. And this on land
where little wheat has heretofore been
produced.
Seaton has not confined his expert
ments to wheat alone: he has had
the same success with barley, oats
and with prunes and apples.

Cotton Dresses
Rich in Design

One always feels with the approach
Of each new spring and summer season
that the smart Parisienne this time
may place the stamp Of her approval
on the truly summer dress Of lingerie
material or a novelty cotton. A well
dressed French woman, notes fashion
writer, can only consider her frocks
made Of these light and summery fab
rics as suitable to be worn at the
races at Deauville In August, on the
tennis court, or around the tea table
on the lively lawns surrounding her
chateau, where she spends few weeks
and slightly larger number of week
ends that can he spared from pressing
social duties elsewhere.
Despite the limited number Of won-
en- who wear such dresses on these
hardly frequent occasions every
spring, In all the big collections a de-
cided number Of this type of dress Is
shown. The Frenchwoman seems to
consider any summer event and all
sports from q peculiarly social angle,
so she has not great use for this SIM
pie summer frOck so beloved by her
American sisters.
Costumes Vie With Simple Dresses.
When she does find real summer
dress, which she considers fitting for
one Of her complicated midsummer
afternoons, one can rest assured that
it is very beautiful with a distinct
cachet and truly French charm; a
charm perhaps in intricacy Of cut or
detail or In q daring and successful
ly mannish simplicity. And like a
paradox the more fancy dyes will most
likely be seen futtering under a par
asol on the shady side Of a tennis court
while the simpler frock win stalk bold

Dresses Of this type made by the
greatest French dressmakers have met
with the complete approval of their
designers and makers. They already
have had most successful outings,
thanks to the American woman, who
has worn them in Florida, in Cali
fornia and at the Country club, wealth
er permitting.
In spite Of the fact that the we'll

summery dresses and sports clothes,

nouncement Of the themes and varia-
tions for the forthcoming season.
Cotton Novelties In Countless Shades.
Every spring brings out new and
wonderful cotton materials, wonderful
in the fact that they are so sheer
having much the appearance Of chiffon
and that the designs are so intricate
ly and beautifully woven into the ma
terial in color or self tone. with per-
haps here and there scattered mo-
tif embroidered in the most pleasing
Of color combinations. Or again the
fabric is dyed in the most delicate Of
pastel shades, embroidered in self
tones or left perfectly plain, as In
the case of many cotton voiles.
Rodier, the most artistic creator and
producer Of novelty fabrics, is show
ing materials Of this character In the
sheerest Of cotton voiles, embroidered
mousselines and lovely new material
in sort Of basket weave called flo-
Gamma. This comes In the seasons
most prominent shades orange, beige,
jade green, cerise, pink, nattier blue
and also in the darker shades tete
de nigre, navy blue and black.
The most popular form Of decora-
tion noted on cotton dresses is fil-tire,
or drawn thread work, this being due
to the fact that the dresses of this
character enter the United States at
much lower rate Of duty than those
carrying embroidery and lace. Then,
too, the cotton materials lend them
selves well to this form Of decoration.
