Popular Colors for Lingerie
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

Speaking of new lingerie, you can
not help speaking of net
Almost as coarse as curtain net is
some that has recently been used, and
the effect is most interesting when II
is of a pronounced string tone. There
are insets of the net. which is often
embroidered. Shoulder straps are
often made of the doubled net. and
when ribbon is used ii is run through
castings of net.
lnsets of net in different colors were
used on the nightgowns selected Tor
a. well known young woman married
in June. Sometimes this colored net
was used for Jokes and side panels.

You may wear colored ribbons on
white or ecru lingerie if you wish
nut some young women who take
such Smatters seriously would very
much rather do so. because they have
been assured that blue. pink and
mauve ribbons are no longer consid-
cred correct. Dove gray ribbons are
the smart choice-dove gray or black.
One thing that all seem agreed
about is that all lingerie should be
very simple. Frills and ruitles and
ruchingS even may be worn on frocks
and more may be worn before the
summer is out. but they have no place
on the smart undertakings and night
gowns.

Be Careful What You Wash Your Hair With

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared sham.
poos contain too much free alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful.
Mulsi6ed cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and entirely grease
lcss), is much better than anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this cannot possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. Two or three
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, and cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
ard excess oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
