benefits Of such a simple and
easy cleansing medium.
Orris root, which has been sue
cessfully used for years, is anoth-
er powder for cleansing the hair
and scalp. Brush the hair and
massage the scalp Is outlined
above and then use the orris
root in the same way as almond
meal and corn meal.
Then too, almond meal or corn
meal may be used with orris
root, or any Of these may be used
separately, I simply mention the
different powders SO that you
may have a choice.
The white of egg-shampoo is
also listed among the success
fully used dry shampoos since it
is used without water and re-
ouircs no rinsi;g. After brush
ing and comblng the hair ard
massaging the scalp, the we'll
beaten white Of an egg should be
brushed over the hair. A tooth
brush is excellent for applying
this shampoo since it enables one
to touch the scalp as well as the
ends Of the hair, thus every hair
is saturated with the albumen.
Allow the egg to dry naturally,
then remove it by brushing.
If a waved effect is desired,
the waves must be placed in the
hair as soon as it IS sufficiently
saturated with egg. Pin the
waves into place and allow them
to dry. The egg is then removed
by brushing. When all egg has
been removed, push the waves up
with the hand SO that they fall
into place. You will be amazed
at the clean, silky appearance Of
the hair. Incidentally and very
important the waves last much
longer with this method than
when water is used for setting.
In the days Of long tresses
when it was an all day task to
shampoo the hair, women found
the dry shampoo powders ex-
tremely useful. Just why they
are not used more often in the
present day is hard to say as the
true beauty Of bobbed-hair de-
ponds more upon the actual
health and cleanliness of the hair
than upon its arrangement, thus
more frequent %shampoos must be
taken.
I'm sure you will find these
few suggestions useful. How
ever, | suggest that you use soap
and water alternately with the
powders, rather than depend
upon the dry shampoos entirely
for keeping the hair clean.
This method of shampoo is par
ticularly convenient if an mex
pected invitation is about to be
declined because the hair is in an
unkempt state. Then too, it il a
veritable boon in cases Of illness
if one desires to keep the hair
and scalp dry.

to-goodness soap and water sham
poo. 1t is for just such situations
that the dry shampoos have been
perfected. Therefore, whether a
dry shampoo preparation or the
regulation shampoo is used, the
results are the same. Conse-
quently before worrying about
how to achieve the most latter-
ing couture, be sure that your
hair is healthy and clean so that
it more easily falls into its new
mode of dress.
Today / shall tell you Of some
powders that may be used be-
tween the regular soap and
water cleansings. Of course,
there are several prepared prep

scalp for two or three minutes.
Be sure that the powders are
evenly distributed so that every
trace of oil and dust may be abb
sorbed by the powder. Then
brush the hair again until it is
entirely free from powder, at
which time it will appear clean
and glossy.
Because Of the light color Of
the powder, girls with dark hair
will find it necessary to brush
their hair more thoroughly than
those with light hair so that no
telltale traces of powder remain
in the tresses to dim their clean,
bright luster. Sufficient brush
ing however, will do the trick.
Even though a marcel, or fin
ger wave, has been put into the
hair a few days before, this
method of shampooing will not
interfere with the couture, 50

brushing out the shampoo powder

drop upon her forehead and saw
that Jerry was crying.

her tears she laughed. eff any

What's Next I'm Fashions?
By BETTY BRCWNLEE
Famous Fashion ExperO

TIRE newest and most strik-
ing note in the Spring
mode is the sleeveless
frcck. 1t has been whispered
for a long time that this vogue
was to return but until now there
has been little evidence Of it.
Sleeveless gowns will not only be
the fashion for evening, or for
the dinner gown.
Sports frocks will be sleeveless,
the simple afternoon frock will
be sleeveless-in fact, you may
wear the sleeveless dress for
every activity OF the day from
morn till midnight and be in the
height of fashion.
It's a comfortable idea, too,
especially for those long hot
Summer days. However, this
does not mean that sleeves are
out entirely. On the contrary,
there will be many women whose
wardrobes will not change an
iota-only their formal and
semi-formal costumes will be
sleeveless. And many of these
women will be wise in not adopt
ing the new mode completely.
For it is not universally becom-
ing. If your arms r inclined
to be either too stout or too thin,
you will find the frock with
sleeves far more fattering.
And, too, if you are one of the
many women who are engaged
daily in earning their own living,
I'd suggest that you continue to
have sleeves in your Office frocks.
The sleeveless frock is quite out
of place in the business world.
1t does not belong.

PEOPLE WCTORS
IN MONACO CRISIS
Princess Charlotte Accepts
for Father Reforms Demand
Il
ed by Citizens Party.

By the Associated Press
MONACO, September l3.-The polit-
ical crisis in this tiny state ended yes
terday afternoon in what appears as a
complete triumph for the subjects of
Prince Louis.
Princess Charlotte, heiress apparent,
told representatives of the citizens
party that she would take the respon-
Sibility Of accepting, on behalf of her
father, all their demands. They had
asked for the right to reform the con-
stitution, remake the budget, control
government expenditures and have a
general supervision of all contracts be-
tween the Monte Carlo Casino and the
government.
In some quarters 1t was believed that
this triumph of the people portends the
end of the princely regime in Monaco,
always providing that the prince signs
the DEGREES. His daughter was taking
them to him last night, expecting to
meet him either In Marseille or in Paris
If the DEGREES are signed, the Winter
season should be tranquil and permit
tourists to spend their money in peace.
If the prince refuses, there is talk Of a
revolt.
Louis has hitherto refused the citi-
zens' demands on the ground that
granting them would give his subjects
supervision over a considerable portion
Of his private income.

Two stacks of wheat, containing about

was in progress when the fire was dis

flames from spreading to the barn and

sharply to one side of the road, near

The publishers decided that hereafter
they would issue no certificates of publ

publication are paid. This charge they
fixed at $28. The court will not issue
a divorce decree until certificate Of

the county bar will be notified of the
publishers action.
