Eliminate Causes of ANNOYANCE

ducive TO the siumbers of others so
to do.
A sdueakv window cord or hinge is
not difficult to reduce To a state of
silence by the use of a little lubricat-
ing oil or ordinary soap. There is
little excuse for their remaining audi
BILE. If there is sickness in the family,
it should he part of the care given
the i'll person. to see that such un-
necessarily noisy hinges are put in
their proper silent condition. A nurse
once made the remark to me that
she always made point. upon enter
ing the home of a patient. to use an
oil can on the door hinges for this
very purpose.
One case comes to mind where a girl
in her teens had been given a good
sound piece Of advice about returning
quietly and mot waking up the whole
household" A" The result was rather an
amusing one. not at all what had been
foreseen So we'll did the girl observe
the advice that her mother was very
much worried, There had not been
sound of her return which even
listening ear could detect Unable to
longer hear the suspense Of wonder

daughter at an hour we'll toward

The Henna Shampoo.

Dear Miss Leeds: ~ Please tell me
how the henna shampoo is made.
~ | am only lS wears old and yet
| have deep wrinkles at the corners
of mouth and eyes. What is the
Caus? (3l What is the style in Win
ter coats? (4 Is the vinegar rinse
good for the hair? c. r. s.
Answer--tD A good shampoo prep
aration for auburn hair is made of
the following; Two ounces CASTLE
soap two drains carbonate of potas-
sium four ounces cologne water one
half ounce tincture of iaborandi. 20
drops oil of lavender, eight ounces or
soft water Shave and melt the soap
in some of the water. Dissolve the
potassium in water also and mix il
we'll with liquid soap. Mix the CO.
logne water and iabora ndi together
and when the other ingredients have
cooled add them all together. Use the
mixture in place of plain soap to
shampoo your hair. After the hair
has been thoroughly cleansed and
rinsed give it henna rinse last. To
prepare the henna rinse (which is
not a dve), boil two ounces of the
dried henna leaves in one quart of
water Let it boil until the water is
dark, reddish brown. Strain and
cool the tea somewhat. The rinse
should ne applied fairly warm. how
ever. using a small sponge. Moisten
each strand Of hair several times with
the liquid. leave it on for ) or 10 min
utes before rinsing it off well. Dry
the hair with warmed towels. (2) The
wrinkles are probably due to under
weight. A girl of your age should
have Il full smooth face. Build up
your weight and general health. Be
sure TO get enough sleep al night and
have YOU eyes examined by an eye
specialist. (3) Brown in number of

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Babies are conCenitally, or so il
would seem, opposed to being covered.
This leaves the distracted and con-
SCientiouS mother who has put her
baby to he'd in a room with fresh air
and a constantly dropping temper.
ature, unable to sleep for fear the
baby will get uncovered.
She usually tries every imaginable
method of holding the covers over his
active little body and finds that he
manages some way to wriggle out
from under and lie cold and wet on top
Of the pile.
Sometimes ! think a mother is too
conscientious in covering the child and
makes him SO warm that he can't
sleep. Or in the sentiment of tucking
him up snugly, she tucks him up so
snugly that he can't move, and all
babies dislike having covers hamper
their free motion.
Roll blanket and put it at the foot
of the bed. Tuck the covers over so
they do not strike the child's feet
There is real danger of delicate toes
being cramped and Of feet being push
ed sidewise by heavy covers. The old
er children as we'll as the babies will
enjoy this method of being covered
and il may prevent their crawling out
from under. since this way the weight
Of the covers is not a burden
Or one may try a small warm
blanket pinned around under the arm

folds coming in the front. Turning or
twisting can't throw off this cover, and
he may sleep comfortably on either
side
Heavy elastic garters can be fasten-
ed to the corners Of the blanket and
then pinned securely underneath the
mattress. The garter has more give"
than is possible when covers ire Just
pinned, and they will be held in place
Use a nightgown which has feet
and long sleeves which pull down over
the hand. This affords the child much
protection and then the mother need
not worry even if his arms are flying

must have some chance to flap them
about

not these can he made successfully at
home, though | would he glad to know
OF any mother who had made them.
The ready made ones are warm and
serviceable and have a hood as added
protection.
They are designed primarily for out
door sleeping, but as ones room with
three windows open may become as
frigid as any sleeping porch, they are
practical for indoor wear as well.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November 90, 1862.-By formal reso-
luton of the City Council Congress
was asked today to grant to the city
enlarged powers so that it can raise
money for the repair of streets dam
aged by the Army wagons. This re-
quest was made after the failure of
Congress to vote direct aid. A board
of Army officers recommended earlier
this year To the Secretary of War that
the Federal Government assist the
city in clea ming two of the streets
Seventh and Fourteenth streets. For
time the War Department put con-
trabandS-slaves taken from their
Southern owners-at work on these
streets.
The city government has been try
ing since last Summer to bring about
an improvement in the city streets,
which have been made almost i'm
passable in many places since the
war with the Southern States began
and the city has been occupied by a
great army of defenders.
All the city has the power to do
now, in the way of street improve
ments, is grading and graveling. If,
however, q majority of abutting prop
erty holders on street give their
consent, then the city is at liberty
TO lay a sidewalk or street pavement
and assess the cost against the prop
erty. Because this system has not
worked we'll Washington streets gen
orally are without the cobble or rub
BILE pavements to be found in other
cities. Exceptions are sections of Sew
enth and Ninth streets and an occa-
Sional block here and there. 1t is
true that Pennsylvania avenue is
paved from the Capitol to George
town. but that has been done by the
Federal Government, and the Army
wagons have cut 1t up badly.

He couldn't read Buster Bears

more than Cubby wanted his mother

only Mother Bear would come all
would be well. So up in the top Of
the tree he clung with might and
main and hawled with might and

what Buster Bear was doing. If he
had he would have seen a surprising
change come over Buster Really. 1t
was "A change of mind One instant
Buster was all set TO climb that tree.
Just one look at him would have told
you that his mind was made up to
have tender cub for dinner. The
next instant he had turned and was
silently moving away from that tree,
looking back over his shoulder rather
anxiously and taking the greatest care
to make no noise. despite his hurry.
Could you have seen him you would
nave known instantly that he didn't
want a cub dinner. that all he want
ed was to get away from there as
quickly as he could.
What was it all about? Well, crash
ing through the woods came another
big bear. 1t was Mother Bear. Her
little eyes Glowed red. Her lips were
drawn back, showing her teeth. She
didn't care anything about moving
quietly All she thought about was
getting to that tree and getting there
in a hurry. Buster Bear had heard
her coming and he was safely out of
sight before she got there. He had
no desire at all to meet Mother Bear
when she looked like that.
+, At the foot Of the tree she glared
this way and glared that way, and
such an ugly growl as came out of
her throat. Then she looked up in
