on severe, high-backed chairs before

him gently to an inner room. Sud-

girl at his side, caused him to glance
sharply round. He stared in amaze

Chat Hung. His hands were folded
over an enormous paunch, the cor

down, and he nodded his head like
one of those Chinese figures Braba-

he said smoothly. "and. / can assure
you, it is for the last time!"

He had not thought to come armed
to meet Suey-Koo.
"Your daughter was just showing

with the daughter Of a wealthy

Shampoo Lotions.

The only trouble with washing the
hair at home is the difficulty of get
ting all the soap out. a great deal of
water Is necessary, preferably run
ming water. There are many mex
pensive hose attachments for bath
rooms so that water can be forced in
a vigorous stream through the hair,
which not only stimulates the scalp
but carries off all the soap.
1t is easy to wash the hair at home
if you have a good shampoo lotion.
but if you haven't the hair will only
be sticky and dull afterward. That
is why so many of the ready made
shampoos contain large amounts of
alcohol or of borax. They dry the
hair, but they do take off the soap
and grease. 9
The easiest shampoo lotion to make
contains nothing but white CASTLE
soap melted in enough hot water TO
form a liquid about the consistency
of molasses. The actual cake of soap
should never be rubbed over the hair.
1t is impossibly difficult to rinse then.
but liquid soap makes quick cleans
ing lather. Ordinarily the hair should
be soaped and rinsed, then soaped and
rinsed again. One soaping is never
enough. If the hair is very dirty or
oily use soap three times, then rinse
as usual, first with hot water, then
cold.
For brunettes, white CASTLE soap

How to Fade.

We all do fade as a leaf.--Is. 64:6.
The comparison is old-so old that
the young critics who are obsessed by
their own neWneSS call IL cHcne ana
think scorn of 1t.
Yet II is so natural that men will use
it, or at least feel it, until the final
autumn of time brings the last leaf
from the forest and the last man to his
grave.
But with what a difference do the
leaves fade.
Some wither brownly like the alder
and the butternut.
Some put on golden hues like the
white birch and the quaking aspen.
Some are arrayed in glad colors of
scarlet and saffron like the red oak,
the maple and the liquidambar.
You can hardly call this fading, since
it crowns the hills with glory and nils
the wales with splendor.
Even so differently do men grow old
and pass away.
Some with dry and somber reluc-
tance, cracking as they wither and rus
tling is they fall.
Some with the golden light OF an
other world upon them.
Some with rich and mellow radiance,
welcoming the divine law which rules
the earthly seasons, in the spirit OF
Stevenson's Requiem"
Glad did I live and gladly die
And / laid me down with will"

new in their autumn foliage the same
color that marked them in the budding
time of spring, but with deeper, fuller
hueS.

Cloche
nv ANNE RITTENHoUsE

The cloche is at once the joy and
the despair of the milliners. Or
rather it was the JOY and is getting
to be the despair.
Native of France, it was introduced
here with some nisgiving.. 1t didn't
seem at first quite suitable to the
American face-this little round-crown-
ed, close -brimmed, narrow backed hat
that we call a cloohe. Gradually
American women adopted it and in
their enthusiasm for 1t they have really
outdone the French women. And now
the question that Is raised anent any
new shape offered by the mtlliners Is:
"Can it compete with the cioche?"
The tam-o'- -shanter, or beret; as II
is called in France, was hailed as
possible successor to the cloche, be-
cause 1t was easy to wear and capa-
BILE Of all sorts of becoming and smart
variations. But so far at least the
tam has not been running in the same
class with the cioche. At best it will
be worn only by the young girl where
as the c'oche is worn unto the third
and fourth generation in the same
household.
a general utility hat is that 1t covers
a multitude of sins as far as hair ar
Tangenlent is concerned. 1t Is veri-
table hide-a so far as hastily arranged
hair goes.
Another reason why il persists is that
IL is generally becoming, and the rca-
son for this is that while it is small
hat with close lines it nevertheless has
brim enough to cast that half-tonc
around the face that is not cast by
the turhan. toquc. beret or small hat.
And no woman who is not Young and
rather pretty can afford to dispense
with that half-tone. For many years
the so-called matron type of hat has
been turban or touue, despite the
fact that these brimleSs hats, unless
carefully veiled. lacking the helpful
half-tone, are most trying.
SO since for all but formal occa-
sions women persist in wearing the

When earth distributed her moods
No sadness fell to thee.
Fearless and light of heart,
Dashing, yet ever kind
Prince of the forest folk thou art,
Above them all refined
Thy CHEEKY friendly call,
Reproachess and urbane,
A gracious greeting gives to all
Who enter thy demesne.
Catbrd and wren and thrush
Protest with shrewdish tongue
At each intruder in the brush
Their angry fear is flung.
But by thine accents sweet
Allegiance straight is won,
And friend and foe whom thou dost greet
Are evermore
And when in sober mood
Thy simple song arises,
SO Puck might, piping through the wood
On dulcet instrument, though crude,
With serious tones surprise
Let others sing the lark.
The bluebird or the wren,
The robin futing in the park,
The blackbrd in the FEM
Each hath its special mark,
Pleasing to thee and me,
But all led by that thoroughbred,
