SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed with Sulphur 1t
Brings Back Its Beautiful
Lustre at Once.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the
advantages of a youthful appearance.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked, just a few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a bottle of "Wyeth'
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which is
merely the old time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients.
Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides,
no one can possibly tell, as it darkehs
so naturally and evenly. You molsten
a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; after another applica-
ton or two, its natural color is restored
and it becomes thick, glossy and lust
rous, and you appear years younger.

BIRTHDAY DINNER.

A small dinner party at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Jones on Tues
day evening brought together in a
very delightful way a congenial group
of friends to celebrate the birthday
anniversary of Mr.. Virgil Mcdowell
The color scheme Of white and gold
was beautifully carried out in the dec
orations and other details. The large
birthday cake, beautifully embossed in
white, held burning yellow tapers and
was encircled with flowers in the
shades of yellow. Baskets of golden
glow and marigolds were placed about
the rooms. The sumptuous dinner
was served in several courses. Toasts
to the honor guest were happily ex-
pressed in good wishes for many re-
turns of the day and for success
in his work at the Georgia Tech, the
party being in the nature of fare
well, as Mr.. Mcdowell will leave in a
few days to resume his studies.

SHORT SKIRTS FOR
WOMEN NOW PASSE
Fashion Creator Talks of Dress. An
kle Length Is The Proper
! an Thing at This Time.

Ankle length skirts. Draping Of the
gown to clothe the body without hid
ing its beautiful lines. High boots in
colors to match gowns.
These are the last word in fashions
for women as told by Paul Poiret, OF
Paris, now visiting New York for
the first time since 1913.
M. Poiret smiled indulgently over
all the fuss that has been made against
long skirts and waved it aside with a
graceful sweep of his artistic hand.
There are always women who re-
sist the fashion," he said, "but in the
end they always follow it. They are
usually about three years behind, and
so really out OF fashion all the time.
,sTAs for me, | do not listen. When
| Sbesan 20 years ago with the narrow
skirtathere was a furore OF opposition.
Women said it gave them no room to
Move. When | started the full skirt
ittwas the same, they objected to the
fltllness.
! Women Contrary, He Says.
ut is not necessary to pay much at
tention to what women say. They are
always dominated by a spirit of con-
trarinesS."
The man, who is known and follow
ed by millions of women throughout
the world as creator of their ideas for
dress, and who care so little what they
themselves think they want, is himself
as original as many of the daring ideas
he has developed OF medium height
and stock build his movements might
be, heavy, but they are not. There is
the grace of the dancer in his step and
the case Of an actor in his every pose.
His iron gray hair is smoOthed back
pompadour above a face covered with
short bristly beard. His large, blue
eyes are filled with keen understand
ing and interest and twinkle ever so
lightly as if with secret merriment at
the gasps his fashions cause.
Dress for the Male.
As an example of dress for the
American man M. Poiret's costume a
recent morning would be knockout.
Over conventional enough gray trous-
ers, shirt, collar and tie he wore a
light tan lounging jacket of nearly
knee length with high roll collar I'M
buttSned at the throat. In the pocket
on the upper left breast was blue
and brown striped silk kerchlet. M.
Poiret was shod with crimson boots,
surmounted by tan spats.
Il was surprised and shocked" he
said in telling OF an hours inspection
of New York crowds at Times square,
ito see SO many so high short skirts.
When l started the short skirts ter
rife protests that it was immoral came
from America. Coming to this COun-
try, reputed to be SO moral, l had not
expected to find the exaggerated short
skirt, but here it is at the same ex-
cessive degree of shortness which we
had in Paris in 1917"
NJ. Poiret conceded that he had not
been in America long enough to see
what the leaders of fashion were wear
ing. But skirts must be long, now, he
said, and would eventually reach the
ground. This, he said, would come by
degrees, ankle length being proper at
this stage of the reversion from short
skirts

Mayor Moler Gives Warning.

Last Saturday night good deal of
moonshine liquor was distributed in
Shepherdstown, and as result there
was considerable drunkenness on the
streets. In the west end of town a
party of colored men got boisterous and
quarrelSome and came down street
swearing and shouting, with Herbert
Green viciously throwing stones and
cursing his enemy, Vernon Edwards
1t was dangerous and disgraceful
episode. Green was arrested by Ser
geant Winters, and was tried before
Mayor Moler, who fined him $40 and
costs, a total of SLIGO The mayor told
him that if he appeared before him
again a prison sentence would be add
ed, and also gave warning that dis
orderly conduct would no longer be
tolerated in Shepherdstown. Sergeant
Winters has been instructed to maintain
good order and to prevent loafing on
the street corners and in public
places, which has become nuisance
and ought to be broken up. Our peo-
pie will back up the town officials in
their determination to put an end to
rowdyism and to break up loafing that
annoyS other persons.

No Wonder BoOtleggers Laugh.

1t is curious how foolishly men act
in regard to liquor. The vile decoc-
tions that are being made and peddled
in this section--as in other places,
find ready sale at outrageously high
prices, and men who haggle over pen7
mics when they come to buy grocer
les and provisions and other necessi-
ties Of life allow the bootleggers to
cheat them without protest. The boot
leggers cannot but laugh at the poor
boobs who throw their hard earnej
money away on the vile and dangerous
stuff that is being peddled around and
are fattening off of the stupidity Of
their victims. 1t is said that there
have recently been some narrow es-
capes from death from drinking boot,
leg liquor in this neighborhood, but the
business still thrives, as it will do as
long as he suckers continue to bite.
