Changing Hair Color.

In other days q woman who colored
her hair arttficially kept that fact q
deadly secret, even from her husband,
but now we are franker and conse-
quently better informed about the whole
subject of hair dyeing. Some women
apparently do not mind making a radi-
cal change in the shade of their hair,
even going so far as to dye gray tresses
black or brown hair red, but most who
avail themselves of modern facilities for
changing hair color try to keep the
original shade.
Many problems arise in dealing with
dyed heads OF hair. Sometimes given
dye Is satisfactory for a period Of years,
then a skin irritation may develop and
the dyeing must be stopped at once,
A special couture or even a tranSforma-
ton must then be resorted to in order
to make milady presentable while her
hair Is turning back to gray.
Nowadays so much has been written
about the harmful effects of metallic
dyes and hair reStorers" that many
women who have been using them are
turning to the newer penetrating dyes
with peroxide base. The transition
from one method Of coloring to the
other Is not always easy. This Is why
1t is SO very important to intrust hair
dyeing work to those who are thoroughly
experienced in all its branches. When
a woman experiments at home with
different types of hair dyes she is almost
certain to ruin her hair.
Perhaps the commonest problem re-
lating to dyed hair arises when milady
wants a permanent wave. Waving sys-
TENS in which ammonia Is used tend
to make the dyed hair lighter, some
times much lighter Ammonia has a
particularly bad effect on hair dyed
with compound "henna" dye, making
it weak and spongy so that it cannot
hold the wave and is hard to redye to
the original color. A series Of special
reconditioning treatments are required
before it is safe to put a permanent
into such hair. After that it may be
redyed by an expert. Hair dyed black
with q metallic dye will often turn a
deep purplish shade when permanently
waved.

You can't get the hang Of your room
unless your draperies are co-operat-
ing. Materials that use heavy. drab
colors know exactly how to destroy the
charm that a red lacquer coffee table

comes in green, plum and yellow. Not
startling shades, but those that are soft
~ alluring Blue and rose are also on
the color charts, but are a little more
difficult to work into successful room

If you want to add a different note,
scallop the edges Of the draperies. Use
contrasting color if you like. Fringe,
which looks. for all the world as though
1t was cut with the same sort Of instru-
ment that makes eScalloped edges
around pie crust, is bought by the yard.
Glazed chintZ is washable, which is
another important factor to remember
Yellow net curtains. which know how TO
filter the proper degree Of sunlight a
little bit better than the white ones do,
are used very often with the chintz
hangings. If you are trying to be espe-
clally gay and dressed up in your room,
though, ruff1ed organdy curtains will
help you do it. They may be piped In

the wind was never still. And there
was peace there, wonderful peace that
hanished all fear.
1t had been a dreadful day. The Kid
felt, oh, so much older than he had felt
that morning. He had for the first
time known great fear, for he had been
shot at by hunter with a terrible gun,
and so had his father and mother. So
he had learned that the two-legged
creature called Man was to be feared
even when a long way off, and the
lesson would never be forgotten. Always
now he would fear Man, end fearing
him. would hate him.
Are you sure we are safe here?" he
asked timidly.

why didn't they protect us down

terest
Because" replied Billy, there was
no snow down there"
The Kid thought this over for a few
minutes and was puzzled. What had
snow to do with his coat? While he
was thinking about it his mother got
up and moved off little way He paid
no attention to her. He didn't even
notice which way she went.
Where Is your mother?" Billy asked
suddenly.

zee her anywhere Il don't know" he
confessed. she must be behind a

made out the form Of his mother. His
father was still grave, for he always Is
but in his eyes was q faint twinkle
Now" said he, you have learned how
your coat can protect you from more
than cold up here, but not down there
where there Is no snow. There 1t is
source of danger instead of protec-
ton, for against the background of the
rocks it can be seen from long dis
lance. That is one reason We seldom
go far below the snow line unless we

and not see you unless you should
move. Then he would be almost GER

That is one thing it Is for, and we
Mountain Goats have wonderfully warm
coats" replied his father. I'VE never
have to fear the weather. But your
coat is also to keep you from the eyes
of enemies. so always remember that
you are safest when there is snow all
about you, and in times of danger try
to get to it,"
"I'll remember" promised the Kid
And he would, for fear is a great aid
to memory. and he had had terrible
fright that day
There is only one trouble with the
snow,' continued Billy, land that is
that where there is snow there is no
food. So We have to go down below
the snow to get food. However, 1t Is
quite safe to do this early in the morn
ing and just before dark, so long as We
use our eyes and never forget to keep
watch. What any one wants to live
