 More necessary, even, than wash ing. IS airing the hair in summer. when no matter how oily the scalp may be. it should not be shampooed oftener than once a month. As to the airing. a woman whose tresses are thick should never fail to do them in two braids at night. To twist them on the head and pin there. is to invite thinness- One braid is bet ter than that. but the scaIps gets no refreshment even then: but by mak- ing two braids ventilation may be se- cured.
 Preparatory to the airing part should be put through the center from forehead to the nape of the neck. and each half then brought over the ear. in order to leave the middle of the head free. The braids should be loose
 This is not to be done until a thor ough brushing and airing of the locks has been given. For this treatment a long bristle brush should be chosen. and the hair. divided into strands. Each of these, taken separately. should be brushed, beginning by piac- ing the tips of the br3stles on the scalp. The brush must then be drawn through the locks down to the ends. This should be repeated sev- eral times. and each strand placed out of the way it is finished.
 The instant a sour odor comes washing must be done. Only sham pooing will cleanse the hair, and nothing is more disa greeab1e than the effect of perspiration. If there is a tendency to oiliness, and because of warm weather an odor comes quickly, I think an egg shampoo is the best. For this raw eggs are beaten, a ta- blespoonful of water being added tc each egg For an ordinary head of hair two are enough. These

 Olive S.:-Cutting your hair had nothing to do with stopping its growth, there must be Q sluggish con- oitio1 of the scalp. Massage the head every day to increase the circu- larion and several times each week include tonic with the massage.
 M1cky--As your figure is good without corset, there is no reason why you should wear one. You can not be considered untidy in this re- spect unless you do not hold yourself correctly. Unless women are very stout, very few of them wear a stihly boned stay any more and a large number of women have discarded properly and avoid slouchins when seated.
 Hope F--As you are young the lines around your mouth may only be due to a run down state, which has made the muscles lose some of their firmness temporarily. Take a tonic to build up your general health and massage the lines with a nourishing cream An astringent treatment for face and throat about once week will keep the skin firm and help rid you of these disfigured lines.
 Miss HeaVy--TO reduce any part of the body, when a general reduc- ton is not desired, there must be spe- cial exercising or massaging of the muscles to be reduced, In either case it is done through the quicken ed circulation which carries off the excess fat.

Wells-lohr

One of the loveliest home weddings
of the season was that of Miss Zelma
Lohr and Mr.. Lawler Wells. which
took place Sunday evening at O'Clock
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Lohr, of 401
South New York avenue, DR.. w. J.
Bolin. pastor of the First Baptist
church performing the ceremony.
Many friends and relatives of the
young couple were present to witness
the ceremony.
The main rooms of the Lohr home
were artistically decorated with vases
of cut flowers and in the living room
the color scheme was beautifully car
ried out with pink hibiscus entwined
with asparagus fern with back
ground of ported ferns, and in this
pretty setting the young couple ex-
changed their marriage VOWS.
The nuptial music was in charge of
Miss Marguerite Owens, who softly
played the wedding march as the
bride slowly descended the entwined
stairway, entering the room with the
groom. She was very lovely in her
gown of blue Canton crepe with cor
sage bouquet of brides roses.
Acting as maid of honor, was Miss
Isabel Luther of Montgomery, Ala
bama, while Mr.. Joseph Lohr, brother
of the bride, participated as best man.
After the ceremony an informal re-
ception was held and dainty refresh
ments were held.
Mrs. Wells is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William LOhr and has made
her home in Lakeland for the last
fifteen years. She is a young woman
of unusual charm and has wide cir
Gle of friends.
Mr.. Wells is the son of Rev. j. r.
Wells, of Largo, and is highly es-
teemed by all who know him.
The young couple will make their
home in Largo, and their host of
friends will join in extending con-
gratulations and best wishes for long
and happy welded life.
