By Maria Jeritza
Prima Donna OF the metropolitan
Opera Company, One of the
Most Beautiful Women of
the Day.

Each season brings its own
beauty problems. Autumn care
of the hair varies slightly from
the attention it requires at other
seasons for the reason that wintry
winds. which sometimes roughen
the lips and chap the face and
hands, also have a tendency TO
dry out the natural oil of the hair.
If your hair feels harsh and
brittle at this time of the year,
] suggest that you give it a gener.
Gus dose of the following emol-
lent the night before each sham
poo. for the next month or two:
Lanolin, l ounce; sulphur, Il
ounce.
never advise rubbing vege-
table oils. such as olive or almond
into the scalp to remain overnight.
My reason is. learned germ spe-
cialists claim vegetable oils at.
tract germs. and 20 these oils
should not be left on the scalp
longer than 20 minutes or half
an hour. ] have never heard this
objection advanced to animal or
mineral oils, however. so you will
be safe in giving your scalp
thorough massage with the mix
ture ] have described and leaving
it TO sink in overnight. protecting
your pillow with a towel.
Before you retire, brush your
hair we'll, then part it over and
over. and at each parting massage
the lanolin-sulphur mixture into

Now, if you feel this same urge
TO keep old magazines around. the
parting can be made quite pain
less, in fact, a joy, if you have a
tiny person around the house. His
happiness in utilizing discarded
magazines will repay you for the
pang of removing them from the
library table to return never more.
In allowing children to cut pic
lures from the magazines there
will never be the tragedy of father
discovering the concluding chap
ter of his serial story cut to rib
bons, if you first provide big box,
or even one drawer of an old
bureau, in which the youHgster
can keep all magazines you give
him. Let it be understood that
reading matter is sacred and must
not be destroyed or used to play
with UNLESS it appears in that
particular box or drawer.
First suggest that he cut out a
family of paper dolls. The fashion
pages hold many attractively coll
7ored pictures of grown folk, chill
dren in rompers, children in bath
ing suits-in fact, the child can
find them in any garb hc espe-
cially desires to play about.
When he has a good-sized col
lection of paper dolls. suggest
that one of them have party
and invite the rest. A party isn't
q party without leafs of course.
so he may so eagerly through
the magazines, finding tempting
pictures OF thickly-frosted cakes.
H. 1s,.Iy To1l oh iolr
salad, and so on. A house for
built with blocks on the floor.
A table can be constructed OF
one or two flat blocks and deco
rated with a dashing tablecloth
IN almost any color cut from an
old magazine. l saw a colored
advertisement for linoleum yes
terday which, if cut out, would
have made a gay tablecover for
the dolls party. Then the pic
lures of the food may be laid on
the table, the dolls seated and
the party is in full swing. The
child will undoubtedly amplify
these suggestions by finding
plates and other articles neces-
sary. for the welI-dressed table.
Block beds are easily made.
Any child viii show you how,
and dolls in cunning night
clothes are to be found in pro.
fusion on the fashion pages.
They will, of course, be put
properly to bed by the wee par
ent.
The activities pictured so well
and atfrsacffyoiv in the current
magazines will suggest different
forms of play to you and to
your youngster, and these will
furnish him with many hours
of happy and educational play.

HOUSEHOLD
HINTS

The halves Of lemons, after the
Juice has been extracted, should
not be thrown away at once.
They can be used in a hot bath.
the oil in the rinds has a wonder
full effect on stiff joints when
rubbed on like soap. Again. when
the lemon rinds are used in
washing up greasy plates and
dishes, fish or onion odors
quickly disappear. The rinds are
excellent, too, for removing
marks on polished tables.
Salt fish should be put into
lukewarm water after being
soaked for some time. 1t should
not be cooked too quickly, or it
will become tough and leathery.
To keep silver bright add about
three tablespoonfuls of borax to
a bowl of hot water, put in the
silver and leave it for some
hours. Rinse in clear water and
wipe with soft cloth.
Aluminium pans need never go
dark. whatever their age. When
stewing fruit use the saucepans
in turn and occasionally give
them a good rub with a lemon
dipped in salt. Never use brass
polishing liquids for cleaning
aluminium cooking utensils.
Do you know that, if you put
the sugar between two layers of
fruit when making fruit pie,
the juice will not boil out, thus
rendering the crust soggy, and
spelling the looks Of the pie.
Don't keep dried fruits too long
or they may become mouldy and
dry.
A good mixture for cleaning
ivory is to make paste of
lemon juice and whiting. Lay it
on the ivory and let it dry there.
Then rub it off with a clean
buster.
Painted and vanished wood
can be cleaned with the following:
Dissolve two tablespoons of borax
in half a cup of BOILING water
and add to two quarts of cold
water.
The juice of a lemon added to
the final rinsing water of a sham
poo will make the hair beautifully
fluffy.
II when making cake you put
the slices of candied peel on top
of the cake when it is half cooked
instead of when making, it will
not fall into the middle of the
cake as so frequently happens
Saturate grass stains in paraffin
before washing.
To remove tar stains put a little
salad oil on them and let it re-
main for a time.
Common salt cleans aluminium
saucepans. They should be well
Finsed in soft soapy water. Never
use soda, as it turns them black.

BANANA TREE
AN ODDITY

The first paradox about the
banana is that it is a tree. BY
virtue of its size and height,
without a true trunk says Nature
Magazine. The taIlest banana
plants measure forty.feet from
the tips of the leaves to the
ground. In Jamaica they attain
about 25 feet, the first feet
of which is approximately the
remarkable 'pseudostem" or false
trunk: the remainder, the blades
of. the huge leaves which tower
above it.
