BEAUTY HINTS

And after you finish the shampoo,
what do you do? Just let your
hair dry, any old way?
Mustn't do that! Take a little time
while it Is yet damp to restore the
natural oils.
After the shampoo. and before
your hair is quite dry. massage your
scalp thoroughly. Use no oils for
this, simply your finger tips.
Start with the finger tips at the
front of the head and about an inch
from the part on either side. Work
back toward the crown. Be sure
that youR finger nails do not touch
the scalp and injure it, but let your
touch be firm and work the scalp up
into a ridge between your fingers at
the center of the head.
Keep this up. moving a small por-
ton O. the scalp at a time until you
have gone over the whole head and
the surface Feels warm and aglow.
The ~loosening of the scalp is the
important thing. Hair can't be
glossy and soft if it grows on a tight
scalp.
Then when the drying process is
finished and you begin to comb it,
comb just one small strand at a
time. Begin at the end and go to-
ward the scalp. twisting each strand
separately as you finish it.
After the combing has been fin
ished. twist the strands again. one
at a time. and then brush the fingers
lightly over it, moving the opposite
direction of the twist. This brings
out the split ends If there are any.
and they can be clipped if there are
too many of them and they're too
dead looking.

The Popular Cape
BY ARI HALE

NEW YORK-The cape, most
useful and convenient of all women's
wraps, is with us again and is more
spopular than ever.
The newest Franklin Simon capes
from Paris range from the volumi-
nous effects which are adaptable to
the a~ttenuated Rossetti type Of
woman, to the STRAIGHTFORWARD mod
els.
But thing is most essential for
every woman to remember-she
must drape the cape about her fig
ure to be really artistic and effective.
There is nothing worse than a long
cape that "just hangs"
A handsome model is of blue mer-
vella with an original cut permitting
deep bands of fur above the arm
Sits to resemble cuffs.
Another model shows the material
gathered on a small yoke.
Still another, illustrated here, has
handsome embroidery of gray on the
blue mervella, and a high astrakan
collar.
A black cape, also of mervella,
shows insets ver the arm over
which the encircling material is
laced, the tips of the lacings are of
squirrel as is the collar.
Capes are shown in all sorts of
materials and all combinations of
furs and colors.

CLEANING SILK

The best way to clean pongee,
tussah and novelty silks is to wash
them in lukewarm water with good
soap.
Instead of rubbing between the
hands or on a board, material of
this sort should be scrubbed with
a brush and it will need rinsing in
at least three waters.
The greatest danger in handling
material of this kind is in using
water which is too hot, for very
hot water causes heat wrinkles
which will not disappear ven un-
der the iron.
OIL STAINS-Stains made by
machine oil or any of the ordinary
oils a be removed with carbon
tetrachloride.
OIL PAINTS-A mixture of car
bon tetrachloride and chloroform
in equal parts will remove oilpaint
marks.
NICKEL-Stains and marks on
nickel can be removed by rubbing
them with a paste made of whiting
and ammonia.

OMAN,S INTERESTS N SUGGESTIONS FOR

And would it be such a very nice
world after all II it should become
just a mans world?
Just suppose that there were no
more frills of ninon. no more lights
hooded in rose, no more soft voices,
no more little houses in which a
happy brood played and called to
a loved gingham-aproned somebody
for bread and jelly"-just suppose ?
And il this orgy Of masculinizing
continues that is just exactly what's
going to happen.
Because who could imagine any
child asking a knickered individual
to seek the kitchen. slice a thick
slab of bread, butter 1t generously
and then find the jelly jar to give
the combination a fascinating. taste

Sugar PluIns

To crystalline fruits, take two
pounds Of good graduated sugar
and add just enough water to assist
in the melting and boiling. Let the
sugar boil to a strip. Then put the
fruit which is to be crystallized in a
pan and pour the hot strip over it.
Move the fruit around occasionally
by shaking the pan, so that every
side of it is coated. Put in a cool
place. When quite cool, drain off
the strip by fitting the pan or lift
the fruits out on a fork and let them
dry. A small quantity of c~rystallized
fruit prepared at moo should be
ready for evening dinner.

The Vanishing OF Jimmy Alcott
Chapter 8

ShdPlSh
Jimmy Alcott was not a principal
in the scandal. He was a victim. II
came out gradually. Each day there
were new details for the gossips.
A teller in his fathers bank had
absconded with thousands. Also,
with Helen, Jimmy's only sister.
And the worst of it was hat Helen
was a bride of a year.
Her husband had managed the
Alcott quarries, shut down months
since. And Alcott senior was a ruin
ed man.
Somehow I had a feeling that
Jimmy ought to come to see Mother
dear and me just because he needed
sympathy. Every evening 1 put on
a certain blue lawn which he ad-
mired.
Then came news of the accident:
James s. Alcott, senior, had gone
over the edge of his biggest quarry
in his automobiles! And Jimmy AL
colt was nowhere to be found. jim
my often drove the big car because
his father disliked driving!
Was it an accident?
The pond in the quarries was
dragged for Jimmy's body. Nobody
had seen the young man at the rail-
road Sutton. Some said he had run
away from disgrace.
Others said he hadn't run away:
wasn't anything for him to run away
from!
Motherdear and I couldn't think
Of Jimmy as a coward.
His own mother was dead, his sis
ter gone, his father a suicide; event.
ually, what remained of the Alcott
property would be sold for the bene-
6t OF the banks creditors.
Plainly, there was nothing for
Jimmy to u away from. But

W. b. Harrison, SO Years
New York Lawyer, Dies

William Benjamin Harrison, for
many years prominent lawyer of this
city, died yesterday at his residence
here. He was in his ninety-seventh
year and had been recognized as the
oldest living alumnus of Columbia
University. He was graduated there
in 1846, was admitted to the New York
bar two years later and then began the
practice of his profession, in which he
engaged for full half century.
For many years senior member of
the law firm of Harrison, Waring &
Russell, Mr. Harrison later engaged in
practice privately until 1905, at which
time he was forced to retire, owing to
failing eyesight. For the last fifteen
years he had been practically blind and
during the last few years had grad
ually declined in health.
Mr.. Harrison was direct descendant
of Francis Henry Harrison, who came
to this country from England in 1908,
and his grandfather. Richard Harrison,
learned scholar and jurist of Colo
NAL days, was appointed by President
Washington as United States District
Attorney for New York. Mr.. Harrison
was the son of Francis Ludlow HARRISON.
His wife died in 1896.
Surviving are Mr.. Harison's only
children, Miss Jane Harrison and Will
liam Beverley Harrison, both of this
city. The latter is associated with the
National Surety Company. He had
three grandchildren and five great
grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements will be an
nounced later.
