Regularly, Punctually.

Children who attend school from kin
dergarten through college ought to at
tend regularly and punctually. That Is
of the highest importance both to the
character of the child and to the char
acter of his work
Going to school is the child's business
in life. We hope that by exposing him
to the influences Of good school daily
for a term of years that we can guide
him to one or two working principles
that will aid him for the remainder of
his life. We hope to teach him to work.
We hope to teach him to carry response
bility. We hope to have him to train
his mind to question, investigate and
make right decisions.
Any one Of these expectations is a
litetime's task in the fulfilling. Growth
Is a slow process. A child gains very
gradually from day to day, for most OF
our instruction is foreign to his ex-
perience and accordingly difficult for
him to accept and bend to his use. We
are dependent for success on the day
by-day impression and expression. II
that is skipped there Is break in the
child's growth and break is difficult
to knit.
Absence makes a child lose interest in
his work. He has lost the place. His
companions are ahead of him. Making
up back work is a lonely process and
dreary indeed. The push of the group,
the freshness of the teachers expression
are gone. Makeup work is never done
with the same spirit nor the same sue
cess as is the daily work that goes on
uninterrupted.
Almost as bad as absence, though not
quite, is lateneSs. Starting late spells
the day. One cannot rush breathlessly
into class and have the same feeling Of
receptive interest he knows when he
reaches the room in good time and in
leisurely conversation with his mates.
The body is excited, the nervous system
strained, the attitude spoiled.
Children are rarely to blame for abb
sence and lateness. They attend school
regularly and punctually If they are sent
that way. When mother is overanxious
about the health of q child and says,
1T looks like rain, better stay in to-
day." II heard you sneezing. I'm afraid
you may be coming down with a cold. "
You didn't sleep very well last night.
You better take q nap this morning.

Gray and White Hair.

Gray hair and white hair should re-
ceive the same careful treatment as
blond hair. especially when shampooed.
Use only white shampoo preparations in
liquid form and avoid tar soaps which,
while excellent for dark hair. tend to
darken the light shades. Be careful,
also, about the method of rinsing and
drying. Don't use very hot or very cold
water and avoid strong artificial heat.
Streaks in gray or white hair detract
much from its beauty Yellow streakS
that result from permanent waving or
marching may be prevented by using
bluing TinseS and also by avoiding an
excess of heat. After the hair has been
permanently waved and is still wound
on the curling rods it should be treated
with the blling After each subsequent
shampoo 1t should also have a blue
rinse. Usually this rinse is left on about
10 minutes, and then washed OF. but
there is no harm in leaving 1t longer.
Indeed, one of the instructors in a well
known beauty school told me that she
did not rinse out the blue until the day
after her shampoo. Her hair is lovely.
silvery white. although she has it mar
celled often. Rinses for white hair may
be purchased at shops where shampoo
preparations are sold, or one may use
French bluing
The question as to how often to wash
white or gray hair depends on circum-
stances. When 1t becomes necessary to
shampoo as often as once a week in
order to keep the hair looking pure
white, 1t is a good plan to rub a little
mineral oil into the scalp several times
a week also to keep it from becoming
dry. The use of an egg shampoo once a
month or every other week in place of
the usual soap shampoo is desirable
Three eggs are usually required for
the egg shampoo (Which is also good
for other shades of hair. The other in
gradients are two drains of boraX, two
drains Of glycerin, one-half cup of water
and one-half cup of bay rum. Separate
the yolks of the eggs from the whites
Dissolve the boraX in half the water

nize these differences than to describe
them. Generally cotton gives rather
hard, firm tone; linen tones are slightly
softened; silk tones are smooth and
glossy, while wool tones are deep and
soft.
Because of the softness Of wooden
tones wool embroidery has merits all
its own and is especially desirable when
you want to combine number of rather
vivid contrasting colors. This is a sea-
son of varied colors and one of the best
ways of introducing these colors is by
means of wool embroidery.
The trimming shown here Is done
by filling in the open spaces of coarse
curtain net Strips of the net are cut
and then darned with woods of pleasing
color combination. The work is done
with large, blunt darning needle.
After the design is worked, the edges
of the net bands should be turned in
and edged with single line of in-and-
out stitches along the edge to hold the
turned-in portion down. The bands are
then applied to sleeves and neckline of
the blouse or dress or are used for belt
or edge for pockets.
