why that two-legged giant hadn't

Small Hair Troubles.

1t is the small trouble that wrecks
the health of the hair. Badness may
begin as dandruff, falling hair as
split ends, severe alopecia as a slight
dryness. Never neglect even the tint

TO worry over it, but it may lead to
the complete wreck of a beautiful
head of hair if you don't
II you have dandruff, treat il at
once There are all sorts of ways
that you can manage yourself very
easily, including a new way which a
certain well known scalp specialist
has been trying successfully. This
Is to pinch the scalp all over with
the fingers, good firm pinches, using
either the thumbs and first fingers or
the thumbs and all the fingers
punched together, whichever you find
easiest.
The most effective way is to have
some one else do the pinching, but if
you rest your elbows on a table with
your head in your hands you can
manage it yourseelf without any IA
tigue. It's more strenuous and more
stimulating than rubbing
Treat the scalp with oil, too. Oil
and antiSeptics will cure almost any
case of dandruf. Thick. black oil
known as crude oil, will do; olive oil
is also excellent. An eight-ounce

unit is naturally distinguished from an
other by mention of the place in which
it was recruited, so individual soldiers
and officers naturally adopted surnames
that were indicative of the particular

So it happens that many a widespread
English family name of today traces
back to one or another obscure little
hamlet or town in Normandy which has
made no such mark in history as the
family name derived from it

MOTHERS.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Helping With Home Work.

One mother says:
help my children with their home
work only by encouragement and
showing an active interest in all
their school work. Very often a
mother who helps children directly
does more harm than good. If a new
step is to be taken, especially in
arithm etic, the mothers explanation
of it may not accord with the teach
ers method of instruction and the re-
suit will be confusion in the child S
mind. Whenever l find home instruc-
1ion necessary, as when my child has
missed school, l ask the teacher Just
what he must make up and what
1nethod of instruction to use.

T ODAY we are learning to choose
our decorative pottery wisely.

OOAI we are lSdA uluS " SAOO"N
our decorative pottery wisely.
The time has gone for mean
ingless and ornate bric-a-brac. Now
we aim to combine beauty and use,
and so we have travelled back through
the centuries to those far-off days,
long before the Christian era, when
the art of pottery-making was at its
height in China
The ancient potters combined grace
of outline and beauty or coloring,
and if you learn to cultivate Chinese
porcelain-and truly it is taste one
rarely has to cultivate-you have
before you a continuing treat-an
enormous field in which the cunning
of the potter and the skill of the
artist leave little room for boredom.
Beauty of Zine and COlOring.
A truly fine piece of porcelain is
among the most beautiful OF art oD-
jects. It's colors rival that of preci-
Gus stones. and its grace of outline is
superb. Sea green Celadons and
deep, lustrous reds are products OF
the furnaces Of the past. Even the!
fragility makes an appeal. The por-
celains of today cannot be compared
with those produced in ages past
The secret of their matchless glaze
has been lost.
If you are learning to care Tor
Oriental jars and bottles, try to ua-
derstand their symbolism.
Ancient potters used six funda-
mental colors, and these were SYM
bolts of water, fire, metal, wood,
earth and sky. Red was associated
with fire; black, with water; green
was suggestive of the woodlands;
white of metal; yellow bespoke the
earth, and blue, the armament. Blue
they must have loved the best for
never has blue in any form of art
been as enchanting as that we find in
some of the early ceramics.

choice &c, IF the seasons we'll
know. -cb1, 1',lle her closest friend
is wearing one in blue, in that new
shade which doesn't seem to have
any name except "new." Wherever
inquired am told: That's the new
blue, isn't it stunning?" And it is, but
it would seem to be daring thing
for a great many women to attempt.
Pleat Clusters.
Colored sweaters may be all one
tone, or like the white may be band
ed in color. And when anyone goes
in for color these days, they go the
limit. They top debonair pleated
skirts, which by the way are much,
much shorter. A very, clever idea is
that of pleating the skirts in clusters,
and allowing the clusters to come so
that the back will be plain. Then
when one sits, the pleats do not get
pressed out of shape. A'space of
perhaps eight inches is tucked in fine
knife pleats; then an equal width
left plain, and so on around the skirt.
This idea is also used in skirts
which are a part of an entire frock.
One particularly stunning model,
recently imported, is Of wool crepe
in midnight blue, with a knotted
line of tan silk forming blocks. The
under sleeves and collar are of
shirred an silk in matching color.
Any except the strictly tailored mod
els among the new dresses coming in
have very short sleeves. Afternoon
gowns are more often sleeveless.
One model of black satin uses very

with inch loops at the ends for coll
lar and cuffs. But one can not get
away from the fact that gowns with
sleeves achieve smartness, perhaps
by their individuality.
More About Sleeves.
Many of the smartest houses are
showing tea frocks with trimmed
sleeves. 7 noticed one in the brcgc
satin which is so popular, together
with brown chiffon velvet. Folds of
tan and yellow chiffon formed the
cuffs and gave the frock an unusual
distinction. The waist and skirt
were joined in an interesting man
ner worthy of being copied by those
who simply sew the two portions of
a frock together without attempts at
style, and cover the result with a
string belt This model was joined
with cord and came down at the
front in a rounded point, which was
most effective and remarkably slen-
derizing.
With it was worn instep strap
pumps of log-cabin brown suede,
which vie with velvet in popularity,
and close-ftting little hat whose
feather dropped at the side.

The Knitted Frock
No Wardrobe Is Com
plete Without It

S-a o many women can look perfect
ly charming in an evening or
@z% dinner gown, but when they
dress for business or the street they
lose all their smartness. And there
isn't the slightest excuse for any
thing of the kind. The time was, OF
course, when sports clothes were
hopelessly dowdy and commonplace
affairs and when a business frock
meant stiffy starched white blouse
and a prim blue serge skirt.
Everyone Wears Them.
But to borrow a popular phrase
chose days are gone forever" De-
signers now realize that the last
word in smartness must go into gar
ments for. sports and general wear.
Fer many of the most fashionable
women in the world adore sports
clothes and wear them necessarily,
even though they never get any near
er to the golf links or the tennis
courts than the seat of a Limousine
at the tournaments.
No wardrobe for utility wear is
complete without a knitted frock.
The Parisienne, who loses no oppor-
tunity to unite smartness and COM
mon sense, is its devotee, and Amer,
lean women are gradually coming to
realize how useful it can be. Beige.
caramel, biscuit and toast are ia
vorite shades, with nearly always a
band of darker brown or of some
brilliant color. This color band is
frequently woven in of silk. 1t will
be a mistake to invest in one OF
these suits of the cheaper variety.
These will be almost certain to
stretch, which the better ones VIII
not, if bought large enough.
Knockers to Match.
A knitted frock of tan and brown
in inch-wide diamond shaped blocks
is a novelty; perhaps bit too strik-
ing for the conservative woman.
Flannel will be extraordinarily
smart this season. 1t may be
checked or plain, but since we had
checks last season, the vogue will be
more pronounced in plain colors.
And these colors are rayishing
French blue, Lanvin green, which is
so very much like almond, the very
new plover, white of course, beige,
which goes without saying, and,
strangely enough, black. For golfing
or for a morning stroll or for any one
of many things which go to make
up the day of the fashionable woman.
the flannel frocks will be ultra smart.
They cling to the tube silhoutte re-
lieved by pinch tucks or bit of pip
ing or buttons cleverly placed. Silk
mohair, which our grandmothers
called alpaca is once more in the
mode and make an excellent utility
frock. IT simply can not be worn
out; it sheds dust and CRIME like a
duck sheds water; it refuses to
wrinkle and when correctly cut il
has much chic.
