Concerning the ''Best Dress
NY ANNE nITTENHoUsE.

The people who write and talk
and think about clothes have taken
the word formal and its opposite. "in-
formal" and made them their own.
They have given them a connotation
that you cannot find in the dictionary
and probably never will be able to.
Some one speaks Of the return Of
short skirts and says: skirts will be
not less than nine inches from the
ground save for most formal wear"
Again some one writes: For
formal occasions organdie frocks are
worn over silver cloth slips and
elaborate sport frocks are made
to wear on formal occasions" You
have heard often enough that the
bouffant skirt is considered "appro-
pirate only for formal wear" We
use these words really because we
have no other words to use for them
we use them much the way the
have used Sunday go-to-meeting."

mon.''
We hesitate to speak Of a best hat
and an everyday hat even when that

wanted a hat for best or every day."
would annoy or amuse or offend her
customer and probably lose a sale. So
she says instead: DO you wish some
thing formal or informal, madam"
Interestingly enough. there is one
smart shop where the oldfashioned
word has been revived, and certain
coats sold there are definitely spoken
of as every day"
The trouble with these words is
that our habits of living and Of dress
ing have changed much since they
were used more generally. To thou
sands and thousands Of city jewellers
--or suburb dwellers who work in
the city--Sunday clothes are the
knockabout. easy-going sort--soft
collars and knickers. smocks. slip
on blouses, whatever you don for
lounging or puttering around your
house. porch or garden. And the
sort.

Akal in Soap Bad for Washing Hair

Many soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much free alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsihed

and entirely greaseless. 1t is mex
pensive and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at anv drug
store, and a. few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is all
that is required. Simply moisten your
hair with water and rub it in. It
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily.

Inv w
ferc With Liquor.
Washington. May 2s.-In formal
representations to the state depart
ment on the ships liquor question, the
British government is understood to
have taken the position that Ameri-
can port authorities have no jurisdic-
ton In international law to interfere
with the bringing Of liquor into
American waters by foreign vessels
as a part Of their regular supplies. A
formal communication on the subject
was transmitted to Secretary Hughes
yesterday by Sir Auckland Geddes, the
British AMBASSADOR.
The British position is understood
to be based on the construction that
the Jurisdiction Of American officials
over foreign ship cargoes intended
for importation into the United States
In no way extends to ships stores or
rations
The British view with Its apparent
conflict In principle with the recent
supreme court decision Is presented
as treasury officials are endeavoring to
formulate regulations to carry out the
decision and at the same time 1t Is
understood satisfy the position Of for
eign governments.
