humor. but they always did.

Lee.
IF you only knew how funny you
looked! / swear l have at least
average intelligence, but l couldn't
look like that over game of cards"
Il don't know what it is" he ad-
mitted. with a laugh. eff you're a
bridge addict you get so that you
hang breathless on a game and lose
your sense of humor entirely"

but she smiled at him to take the
edge off the words.

Correcting Very Oily Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds-I read somewhere
that one may improve the looks of
very oily hair by dividing it into
strands and wiping each Strand with
alcohol. Is this safe. and what sort
Of alcohol should be used? l would
appreciate having any suggestion for
the treatment of hopelessly oily blond
hair. NJ. I. l..
Answer.-The alcohol is used after
the dry shampoo. Excessive oiliness
often means that ones health is below
par. Build up your general health
and give your hair the following local
treatments: ~ Shampoo it every
week with n mixture Of two ounces
tincturc OF green soap. two ounces
toilet alcohol and one-half ounce tine
ture OF rosemary. Lather and rinse
carefully. AS a final rinse use two
quarts of water and the juice of one
lemon. If your hair becomes oily be-
tween washingsN you may use a dry
shampoo made of equal parts of corn
meal and powdered orris root and fol-
low it Ivy the alcohol rub, using the
toilet alcohol one buys at drug store.
t2) Apply the following hair tonic to
your scalp twice a week: One-fourth
ounce tinctulr of Cinchona, onc-fourth
ounce tincture of rosemary, one-fOurth
ounce tincture of jaborardi, six ounces
Of bay rum and two ounces Oc cologne

Answer.-You are about 10 pounds

your age and height. l advise you to
reduce by moderate dieting and exer-
else, so that you will not develop into

self-consciousness is to keep busy at

brainy enough. and anyway card
crooks are always gentlemen, but
there is something to poker besides
technique, and that is luck, and when
the angels were handing out luck

The evening started off pleasant
enough, with three of the boys be-

just to keep the amateurs out"
So we raised the limit by not hav-
ing any limit, and the three boys and
myself winked at each other and we
thought, fine: Bill's in losing streak
and now we will clean him, and so
we settled down for a nice, rough
murder.
After a while Bill said, "Give me
another stack" and one of the boys
said, whats happened to all your
money? You've been winning as
many pots as any two of the rest of
us together" and Bill said, "Oh, l
guess I'm raking in the small ones
and losing the big ones, that's ALL"
Finally one of the boys said, "Jeru-
salem! Two o'clock. I'll get murdered
at home" and that was the end of
the party. The banker said, "All
right. Let's settle. . Say, what's
happened to all the chips?" Well,
everybody looked around and there
were hardly any chips on the table,
and we all said, That's funny" and
just sat and looked, and Bill said,
'Ha. ha. ha.''
said, whats the dirty laugh
for?" and Bill said, Here's a few
chips" and he had been sneaking
them into his pockets all evening as
fast as he won them and buying new
stacks to fool us. and give him a
chance to Use that low "Ha, ha, ha"
of his. and it cost me SIT to sit in
that game, and although at any other
time it would have been worth it to
see the looks on tn other boys faces,
last night / was not feeling like
laughing, and now when 1 think of
how that guy took STA from my
friends and me, feel even less so.

them q too-faded appearance, but
dampness is not runous. A certain
amount of moisture keeps the rugs in
good condition. Should they get ac
tually wet they must be dried as quick
~ as wind or hot sunshine will do 1t.
Renewing Tones.
Since color is a large part of the
charm of these porch rugs in all of
their various kinds, the time comes
when the tones may need strengthen
ing and perhaps the edges may need
strengthening also. 1t is then that
the homemaker can bring her skill to
the rescue and with a touch of stain
here and there and a new strip of Dor
dering, perhaps give the rug a new
lease of life. When the Summer wanes
some attentions of this sort may be in
order, SO let us see what is the best
thing to do to restore worn rug.
How to DO 1t.
There are many kinds of stains that
come under different names according
to their different makes, and these can
be mixed and applied to match colors
that We're the original ones in the rug.
1t will not be necessary to retouch all
the shades probably. Some may have
gained in artistry by their mellowed
hues. Recolor just enough to revive
the new look in the rug. Or the tones
may be changed by stains or paint un-
til the rug seems not like the old one
restored, but an entirely new rug. This
means more work, but if the rug has
motifs only that are in color the work
should not be arduous.
Refinish Edges.
To refinish edges of rugs, good and
simple way is to braid several strands
of colored jute yarn and sew the braid
firmly over the worn edge, using large
stitches and coarse thread. A still bet.
ter way is to cut off the worn rows of
the rug and sew the braid to the firm
edge that remains. In making the
braid, use about three strands of the
| jute yarn to each strand for braiding

The new porch rugs are delight.
They trim the plaZZaS with a glow like
the scintillating beauty of a colorful
''mille fieur" carpet. They are in &C
cord with the gay porch furniture and
the brilliant porch accessories, such
as smart patchwork cushions. nattily
painted tea wagons and gorgeous wall
pockets.
All combine to make these porcheS
vie in color with the crimson ramblers
that climb over the trellises or the
flower beds that skirt the edge of the
house like an enamel setting for
beautiful gem. And since the porChes
are out-of doors rooms, with no more
substantial walls than sheer netting
and grilled rails to separate them
from the fields and flowers, there is a
fascinating charm about having them
take on one of the characteristics of
these same things, namely, color.
Weayes and Dyes.
1t is this element of color that is
dominant. 1t may be brought out in
the weaves of grasses and strawS of
many dyes that are interviewer
throughout the floor coverings, or the
centers may be medallions or motifs
in color against a background of a
neutral hue, the tones being caught
up again in the wide border of the
rug. Or again the entire rug of a
solid natural shade of grass. straw or
jute may have a simple band of bril-
liant color around the edge. Often
the rugs have such open spaces be-
tween motifs that the decorative fea-
ture of the rug is stressed almost as
much as protective covering for the
floor. The idea of keeping the floor
subdued in tone is quelled by the color
SO pleasingly introduced that it seems
q most natural matter to have it gay.
Moisture Proof.
One great advantage in these rugs
Is that moisture does not harm their
foundation mediums, whether these
are fiber, grass, straw, etc. Exposure
will in time subdue color and give

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, July 81.

Tomorrow is an uncertain but in
consequential day in planetary direc-
ton, according to astrologers.
It is time fairly fortunate for social
companionships and neighborly visits.
Churches may be not we'll patronized
since sloth and laziness are supposed
to be encouraged by this position of
the stars.
Families should be careful not to
enter into discussions that have posi-
bilities of dissension, for there may
be much irritability under this sway.
Again both the Army and Navy will
be much discussed. Criticism and dis.
agreements are indicated for news
paper and other comments on Govern
ment policies.
There is a trend in the planetary in
tiuences that is likely to add to the
honors of those holding high places,
while the less fortunate of the world
suffer losses.
London astrologcrs now read that
the Prince of Wales must choose a
bride and they foresee a sudden change
in his status.
Early Autumn Is to be a time when
Neptune and Saturn affect Washing
ton, ID. c.. unfavorably, bringing dan
ger of serious trouble.
MeAico may become involved III Il
new international incident that will

Diplomacy is to be of prime interest
in the Autumn. when American Am
bassadors will be put to the test in
Europe.
The conjunction of Jupiter and
Uranus this month in the martial sign
Of Aries Is read as affecting the des-
tiny of nations.
Military dictators are to arise. and
an era of force is to threaten the Whole
world, according to astrologers.

Boil four cups water and two cups
sugar for 10 minutes. Add shaved

gelatin softened in cold water. When

lemon juice. Freeze to mushy stage.
The gelatin makes the ice whittier
