Split Hair.

There is one great advantage in
possessing a bobbed or shingled
bead-youlI not suffer from split
hairs Bobbed hair must be trimmed
once every month or six weeks, a
shingle every 10 days to 3 weeks,
depending on the rate the hair grows.
This constant trimming, and the fact
that there is less hair for the body
40 support, will cure the most des-
perate case of split ends.
This sounds like an argument for
wearing the hair short, and perhaps 1t
Is. 1t never hurts the hair to cut 1t
off and gen orally 1t does 1t good. In
time II will grow in as long as ever
st was, longer perhaps, having de-
rived more. strength from its months
of rest. I've always advocated the
bob" from the health viewpoint: It's
only q question of the becomingness.
If it isn't becoming and IL the hair is
healthy, then it is shame to sacri-
flee 1t to a new style.
So IL your hair splits, and you don't
wish to cut 1t off short, you must try
some other treatment. Try oil.
Though split hair may look oily,
and though the scalp may seem un-
pleasantly greasy, the real cause is
abnormal dryness. The oil Is on the
surface, not underneath where 1t be-

would have to wait until Honker
came close to shore. The trouble
was he didn't know where Honker
would come close to shore. 1t might
not be near his hiding place at all.
So Peter kept still and waited and
waited and listened to the gabbling
of the Geese and watched the Black
Shadows begin to creep out across
the pond, and wished that he dare
show himself and let Honker knew
that he was there. But he must first
find out where Reddy Fox was.
Suddenly Peters heart seemed to
jump right up in his throat He had
seen something move only very lit
tie way from him. He held his breath
and watched. Then his worst fears
were realized; he saw Reddy Fox
creep out from under hemlock tree
keeping himself fiat to the ground
Inch by inch he crawled until he
reached an old log on the very edge
of the water. Behind this old log
he lay down. The old log was al
ready in the Black Shadows. Peter
knew that Reddy couldn't be seen
from the water.
Honker and his flock began to move
in toward the shore very slowly. They
were coming in toward tho very place
where Reddy was hiding. Peter didn't
know what to do. He wanted to warn
them that there was danger there
but he didn't dare do it. Reddy Fox
was too near. If he thumped a warn
ing, as he wanted to do. Reddy would
be almost sure to catch him.
Honker and the members of his
flock, most of whom were his chill
dren, were not careless. AS they
drew near the shore their long necks
were stretched high and they studied
with sharp eyes every foot of the
shore. They moved slowly. Some of
them were anxious to go ashore, but
Honker would not allow this until he
felt certain that there was no dan
ger. At last Honker gave a low sig
nal and began to smooth out the
feathers of his back with his bill
The long necks of the others were
no longer held stif1y erect. Some of
the flock began to do just what
Honker was doing. Several headed
straight for the shore. One Of these,
Peter saw, would come out Of the
water right in front of that old log
behind which Reddy Fox was hiding.
Peter fairly ached to give warning,
but he didn't dare. He simply didn't
know what to do.

Olympic Games Fashion Influence
BY MARY MARSHALL.

cidental interest in fashions, became,
without really realizing it them
selves, the object of much and deep
interest on the part of designers and
others who have a finger in the pie
of fashion. These woman athletes
were extremely significant-they
gave an idea of what clothes might
be-but a more important idea of
what clothes for the women of the
nineteenth century might not be.
An emphatic negative was given to
those who had somehow hoped for a
revival of snugIy laced waists and
picturesque, billowy petticoats.
So the trend of fashion continued
on its way-women's frocks re-
mained straight and skimpy-and
skirts became shorter and waist lines
faded even further into the limbo of
fashionable nothingness.
The problem of designer and dress
maker obviously is to make these
frocks that are perfectly comfort
able. perfectly in keeping with the
present-day demands of the girl who
plays tennis and golf, rides, motors,
swims and dances AS keenly as her
brother, as smart and interesting as
possible. Women perhaps have put
a rather hard task up to their dress
iHdheTS ana QeSlSnerS-tneS want TO
be perfectly comfortable and per-
fectly healthy and unhindered in
work and play and yet they want to
look as appealing and as alluring
and as interesting as women ever did.
The sketch shows a frock that was
designed with all the demands of the
up-to-date outdoors girl in mind
yet it really has considerable charm
and allure. Made of plaid kasha
with an inverted box pleat at the
front. it Is trimmed with red suede
collar and cuffs and is worn with a

are many bewitching brocades and
prints, metal clothes and fancy
weaves OF heavy and lightweight
fabrics. They are like fairy ring
in forest glade" to tempt the home
dressmaker or the woman who de-
lights in doing fancy work and en-
broidering.
Dyefng Garments.
One OF the chief reasons why
knowledge of correct colors ia so
vastly important to women is because
it lets them know what tones should
be given garments that they intend
to dye, either for entire dresses or to
combine with other fabrics in the de-
signing" of different frocks
1t is an essential to have the tones
OF the season, If one would have
smart gowns, a s it is TO have stylish
weaves or fabrics fashionable in
themselves. 1t is not possible to have
an out-of-date color Of cloth, though
1t may have good weave, made into
modishly-cut garment without the
shade betrayIng the fact that the ma
terial has been in the house for some
time. Color, fabric and cut must
combine TO produce gown in the
correct vogue.

these are bois de rose Can elusive

or royal blue with black, fuchsia and
pewter, etc, and marvellous combina-
tions OF colors that are fundamentally
alike, but which vary widely in tints
For instance. fuchsia, petunia, Wis
terra, orchid and other tones of pur-
pie are shaded one into another or
are put in artistic contrast, a dark
blue accenting a light one, or vice
versa. In yellows. reds, blues, browns
(there are thousands of exquisite
blendings Of these browns), greens.
pinks. etc, the same idea of color
harmonies is worked out aesthetically
Colors in Laces.
II is by no means in the field Of dress
making that colors play a tremendous
part this season. The same sort Of color
harmonies prevails in fancy work Laces
for table scarfs, chair backs, etc, are
done in the shades of the season, some
times on natural colored fllet net and
sometimes the net forms a rich color
element.
Color Schemes.
In interior decoration we find the
fashionable colors introduced advan-
tageously. not alone in the embroidered
articles such as the fiet laceworl Just
mentioned. but in sofa cushions fabric
covers and even in color schemes for
entire rooms-in fact there seems to
be few things that are not strongly
influenced in decorative ways by the
ever-changing fashions in colors and
their combinations. Fortunately, this
season the shades and the combina-
tions are beautiful as well as modish
which is not always the case

To open oysters easily place
them on the warm kitchen stove
for a second. then insert the
knife between the thin edges Of
the shell. They will open with
out trouble.
To clean the railing Of ban
nisters wash off all the dirt
with soap and water, and when
dry rub with two parts Of lin
seed oil and one part Of tur-
pentine. A good rubbing will
bring up the polish as if the
rails had been repolished.
To heat a pie without burn
ing the crust put it into a deep
baking dish. filled with hot
water, and stand on the oven
top till about 20 minutes before
wanted: then put in the oven
to heat the crust. The pie
will he as nice as if just
cooked.
To remove paint from the
glass of window is quite a
simple matter. A cloth dipped
in hot vinegar will do il.
If one cup of vinegar is put
with the water in which coiored
tablecloths are washed it will
prevent the color from running.

will look equal to new.
Brown leather bags can be
cleansed quite successfully by
rubbing on q, thick lather of
pure white soap. Apply it
with a sponge, rub hard and
let the soap remain on for a
few minutes to soften the
grease. Then rub dry with a
clean piece of flannel. To
avoid staining the bag use no
more water than is absolutely
necessary to make the lather.
