mon conditions that precede loss
of hair and badness. Some claim
it is caused by germs. Others
say not. No one really knows.
But it must be destroyed. This
is now possible. Science has per-
fected new scalp treatment.
Its results are astonishing.
1t destroys dandruff almost i'm
nlediately. 1t dissolves the scales.
1t breaks up greasy crusts. 1t cor
reefs each one of the four causes
to which 900 OF all hair troubles
are due.
The minute you apply this amaz-
ing treatment you begin to feel its
beneficial action. The pleasant
Jingle and cooling sensation tell
you Immediately the good work it
is doing. 1t penetrates the hair
follicles, loosening dirt and impur-
tiles. 1t reduces irritation and
congestion. destroys harmful bac-
terra and stimulates scalp tissue to
increased action.
Never before has your scalp
seemed so clean and healthy-so
full OF life and vigor. A few more
such treatments and dandruff will
have entirely disappeared.

This she invariably does, being, it seems, quite undisturbeN by the crowd that generally collects to watch the proceeding.
 It happened that I was wearing q rather smart hat and dress. q can frankly say so for deserved no credit for the cOstume-it had been especial ly designed for me by an artist here in Paris.) X few minutes after my ar rival at least five or six phOtOgra phers came at the same moment to ask for permission to photograph me. Not from any sense of mOdesty but purely from self lf-consciousness, I started to refuse. I happened to be with two Frenchmen who feel quite differently in regard to these matters than Americans. 1n- stead of feeling rather embarrassed and wanting to go away, as would, think, most American men. they were de- lighted and wouldn't hear of my re- fusing. So I stood, feeling a good deal of fool, the center of a group of watchers, and facing a terrifying bat tery of cameras. They all went off at once and sounded like a machine gun attack. Probably there were women there who were envying me the cOmpli- ment to my costume, but at that mo- ment I would have been very willing to surrender my place to them!

Of this, however, it Ef28 sNZM H0T1-o is by far the prettiest racing course have ever seen. How I wish our courses were turf The long stretch of velvety green with the bright costumes moving up and down beside it, and the fly ing cOlOrs of the jockeys on their hOrses-it is all very beautiful.
 It seems to me that though black is much worn Git always will be think it is not quite 50 popular as last year. l notice good deal of a royal blue-a color not used at all last spring. l have been persuaded into buying a dress of that color and am wondering how I am going to feel when wearing it. It is difficult 70 accustom oneself to q rather bright color after much black. However, the dresses of this blue looked very pretty at Long champs.
 It is amusing to watch the name quins and the ladies of society being photographed at the races. On our side Of the ocean the reporters snap people who are well known, irrespective of their costumes and generally do it as unobtrusively as possible-while you are walking towards them or standing talking to some one and they can catch good view without your perceiving them. Here it is quite different: the photographers care only for the cos tune. They wander around, looking all the women up and down. When they see a dress they think smart, they go up to the woman, remove their h"fs and ask her to pose for them.

MARTIANs OF HUGE SIZE:

One prominent astronomical author ity has allowed his imagination to play with the possible effect ofs gravity on the appearance of the Martians- His vision is interesting, and it fits the problem presented by such a huge en- gineering feat as represented by the canals.
 It is known that gravity on Mans is only one-third of what it is on the earth. That means that three times as much work could be done (as, for ex- ample, the digging of canal) by the same expenditure of muscular effort With ourselves the average size of men conforms with the most efficient actiV- ity in our gravity. If the same were true on Mars, nature would build her Martians three times the size of men Such a being would have three dimen- sions, height, breadth and thickness {: therefore, on earth, he would weigh 2 times as much as the average man. but on Mars, where gravity is only one third of that of the earth, he would weight nine times as much as we weigh in our sphere.
 To carry this thought a step further, consider that the biceps of our hypO- thetical giant, having three dimensions. would be 27 times as strong as the biceps of a man. But he would work on what required only one-third the muscu- lar effort to perform-sO the effective strength of our Martian would be S1 times greater than man'sl If the laws of physics are universal, as there is every reason to suppose they are. there is nothing Droblematiesl in that reason ing.

SMOKING Nor TAUGHT
Girls at. Smith CoElege Must Learn q. Art the Best Way They Can

AA1k Art the Best Way They Can
 Smith college for girls, citadel of New England propriety, is gasping at a scandal that resulted in the recent suspension of three students They were caught smoking cigarettes in . tea room near the campus, Illustrating once again the uses to which tea rooms can be put.
 Smoking at Smith is prohibited, and moreover the college code of morals makes it obligatory on any girl bOserv- ing another taking a smoke to report her; a rule suitable perhaps to an in- stitution for women, but one that would be extremely repugnant among any group of men,
 The tattling duly done, the council investigated the tea room, mad, horrible to relate, the moderation of the little paper tubes was in full course, ruby lips behind each roll. In the reports of the scapade-the girls were not alone, but seem to have had the aid and com fort of escorts in what they were doing they were said to be enjoying a smoke.
 We doubt if they were One of the main objections to women smoking is that they look so distressed doing it. A woman smoking handles a cigarette not merely as though it were a cOmbustibAeD but as though it were ah igh explosive Her unfamiliar fingers try to grasp 1t and let go of it a tthe same time How eyer graceful a woman may be by ma ture, she becomes articifieal, con- strained and awkward when she smokes a cigarette. And it is an art at which practice does not seem to make perfect, for some that have been at it at least as long as the present fad has endured. whose children indeed have been all their little lives accustomed to a mamma that smelled like a Chinese laundry, still handle the coffin nall either with silver tongs or with finger tips that shrink pathetically from their dangerous servise, and strive autOmati- cally to keep the thing at arms length except at te moment of the drag"
 And then, so many women smokers seem at loss to know what to do with the smoke. It is an embarrassment They don't know whether to swallow it or exhale it through the nOstrils, or just let it leak out in the course of conversation. Altogether, they take a great deal of pains to be uncomfortable And if they wish their daughters to study the art they should not send them to Smith.-ArgOnut-

So Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the little old woman got out their magic books and magical charms and wished the things the giant had taken from the people who had passed his house to return. Then as the little house on wheels had come to a stop beside a bubbling fountain, the Rag gedys and the hobby horse and the lit- tie old woman ran out to enjoy six teen ice cream sodas apiece, for, as you surely must know, their experiences with the giant had made them all very, very thirsty and nothing is quite as good for thirstiness as ice cream sodas. Especially those which come from the magical ice cream soda water foun- tains found growing wild in the deep, deep woods, filled with Fairies n every thing.

The WeU-DreSSed Man
 By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of Every Occaou
For Your Dip

WIMMING clothes have no fashions
 to write about, but there are some
 unwritten fashions about swim ming clothes. First of all, quality IS it's own reward A skimped and scamp ed suit made of sleazy cotton will not hold water. In former years any old thing or anything old passed muster for the dip. Today a mans dress for the beach receives almost as much ciircumstantial care as wOman's for the ballroom, and there is as little of it.
 Broad-striped swimming shirts to- gether with plain-colored trunks, as il- lustrated here, are the latest innovation. The shirts are low of neck and deep of armhole The stripes are navy-and- white or black-and- white, while the trunks are of blue or gray flannel or worsted Sometimes the trunks are braided down the side to lend military

TABLE MANNERS IN FRANCE

 We Have Advanced
 Right here let me say that table man. nefs in nearly all Continental countries have not departed from those ideals which we Americans began to desert just about the time of the Chicago fire. One of these ideals is that a napkin should lead a public life.
 Of course there are some natures in America which are still inspired by the same caution, but the proportion of those wearing their napkins is not nearly so impressive as on the Con- tinent.
 As for the toothpick, this implement IS used with a degree of conscientious research which have never seen ex- celled. No dilettante gesture does for the average Continental townsman. Each of the 32, both upper and lower. gets its own individual ceremony
 But a more spectacular departure from our standard of manners was af- forded me the morning after my ar rival in a small French town. had arisen from a rather troubled night This was due to the partiality of the Continent for a covering known as the couvre-pied, a quilt with a physique like a marshmallow. Plump and square, it has, too, no more genius for fittinng into ones anatomy than the candy aforementioned.
