Dry. Brittle Hair.

Those who are troubled with dry,
brittle hair often md that Winter
weather accentuates the condition and
that by gpringtime It Is falling out too
fast. When hair is Of this quality, 1t is
quite necessary that something be done
about It, for it is the dry hair which
loses its luster and color and also Is
likely to turn prematurely gray.
As such hair shows plainly that It Is
In need Of oil, the first thing to do Is
TO treat the scalp regularly with warm
oil. This should always be done before
the shampoo, and a little Of the warm
oil should also be rubbed into the scalp
One may use plain olive oil or the fol-
lowing oily tonic: One ounce olive oil,
one-haf ounce almond oil, one-half
dram Of bergamot and one-hah dram
oil Of rosemary. Mix well together and
for each treatment use about two table
spoonfulS Of the oil, heating It before
using. Before every shampoo give the
hair the following treatment: First,
brush the hair thoroughly and massage
the scalp rather vigorously so that the
oil glands will be stimulated. Next,
divide the hair into strands and apply
the warm oil evenly to the hair and
scalp, using q small toothbrush or
piece Of absorbent cotton. After oil has
been applied to the entire scalp and
hair, wiring out o Turkish towel In hot
water and bind 1t around the head
turban fashion. AS soon as the first
towel cools replace 1t with another hot
towel Continue this treatment for ct
least half an hour and then shampoo
the hair Immediately, using plenty Of
warm water and q pure soap or liquid
shampoo. Rinse the hair in several
tepid waters and then dry by rubbing
with towels or with the hands. Before
the hair Is quite dry apply an oily
tonic which may be made as follows:
Olive oil, one ounce; cologne water,
four drains; bay rum, four ounces: tine
ture Of cinchona, one dram. This
should be applied to the scalp and also
to the hair. It may be used twice o
week and o little of it should be ap-
piled TO the hair when II begins to look
dry and luSterless, for such hair Is
pretty sure to split ct the ends and 1t
will lose its elasticity and strength un-
less oil Il supplied artincially. Hair
which is split at the ends should be
singed and clipped.
Hair which Is dry should not be

'I wonder why it Is that aFwsss
have had faGE washing supposedly
washable kid gloves? II I succeed n
getting them clean the surface a a..
ways roughened and the gloves look q
If they had been drawn through q
Knot hole" This Is a question from
Jane"
To begin with you should get gloves
OF good quality. This does not always
mean that they need be of the most
expensive sort. The kid should be
firm and of even thickness, not too
soft or too rough. Then you should be
careful not to let them become very
much soiled before washing. II you
do they will need too hard scrubbIng.
Do not rub the soap directly on the
gloves. Make a good lather with very
hot water and mild soap and then add
enough cold water to make a bath
only trifle warmer than tepid. Put
the gloves on the hands and work the
hands up and down in the water until
they are thoroughly soaked. II there
are Soiled spots or lines rub gently with
a soft cloth. Slip the gloves from the
hands In the water and work up and
down.
Then prepare another bath Of warm
water with a very little soap and rinse
the gloves. Draw them on metal glove
dryers and hang up by the hooks Of
the stretcherS in an airy place. Never
dry near the fire or in the sunlight.
If the gloves seem to be sttY when
dry take them from the stretchers and
work gently In the hands to soften be-
fore attempting to put them on.

The only danger in fish out Of q

Easter Table Service
Are Suggested = Good Results May Be
Achieved Without Great Expense.

TABLE decorations for Easter or
other occasions may be elaborate or
ample, as desired. It Is possible to Sc
cure charming results inexpensively If
one has original ideas and good taste
for color combinations and harmony.
In regard to flowers, it is well to re-
member that roses, lilies Of the valley
or hyacinths should be placed in silver
vases or dainty glass bowls. There Is q
definite relation between the flower and
the container in which 1t Is placed. Pale
pink roses are charming In o brass
bowl.
A low green pottery bowl may be
used as a centerpiece, and In this placed
three or four small pottery flower hold
ers. These may be filled with yellow.
lavender, blue. and white crocuSes. A
couple Of artificial long-legged cranes
should stand with their feet In the
water, and tiny birds and butterflies
may perch on the edge Of the bowl
Just an ordinary small market bas-
ket may be painted green and filled
with various kinds Of Spring flowers
mingled with ferns and used for q CEN
teEpiece. Artificial birds from the To-
cent store may sway lightly on long
sprays Of flowers or foliage. Place at
each plate a stiff little bouquet of for
Ret-me-notS or lllies-of-the-valley in a
collar Of lace paper. The dishes used
with this centerpiece should be white
china with green bands, and the doilieS
of ecru linen finished with hemStitch-
ing.
A table decorated for the children
may have for a centerpiece small
square basket that you may get from
get-me-notS or lilies OF the valley in q
your fruit and vegetable dealers. Smaller
individual baskets with handles may be
placed at each child's plate. They may
be bought at the 10-cent store. Fluffy
little chickens should be placed in the
center basket, while big Dummies look
on with interest from outside. The
small baskets should hold colored eggs,
soft little rabbits and baby chicks.
Maidenhair fern will not crinkle and
shrivel, as 1t usually does in q warm
atmosphere, II the sprays are left right
under water for some time before the
fern Is used for table decoration. and
