This is an appeal we receive
quite frequently from women
whose hair is beginning to show
the first signs of turning gray.
They are naturally distressed, and
every one Of them seems to think
there is some magic treatment
that will restore the natural color
without the aid of dye or artificial
colorings.
We have made an intensive
study for a number of years OF
the growth of the hair and its
life and colorings, and are quite
familiar with the results Of the
work and study of the leading
hair specialists, but as far as we
know no way to restore the nat
ural color to the hair after it has
faded has been found.
When the hair turns gray or
white, as it will with advancing
years, the natural color cannot be
restored by nature. This change
is natures way of harmonizing
coloring so that all the tones
blend perfectly. 1t has a beauty
of it's own, and should not be a
depressing period in the life OF
any one.
There are a number of women
who, for good reasons, will not &C
cept gray hair, and they look upon
the change as nothing short OF a
calamity. They may be business
women who feel this mark of age
may affect their careers or the
society or professional girl whose
position will not be enhanced by
any suggestion Of age.
Natural Shade
There is no denying the fact
that we associate age with gray
hair, and we believe every girl or
woman who finds it the least
handicap should resort to the artl-
ficial colorings.
Hair dye has been so perfected
in the last few years that one
may have the natural shade OF
hair that will harmonic with the
skin and eyes and not show that
it has been artificially colored.
It is possible to go on for
some time with the henna packs,
provided this reddish or brown
tint blends with the natural hair
coloring. Many women use henna
for while because it is not
a permanent dye, and they feel
they can remove it with a few
shampoos and oil treatments ii
they do not care for it.
Hair dye, however, cannot be
removed with such methods, and
may as we'll be classed as a per-
manent coloring, but that is one

ried swains, they would hesitate
before breaking up another wOm-
ans home and happiness.
Il know; I've been a married
mans secretary, later his wife, and
as a wife I've been superseded by
a newer secretary"
Certainly this true confession
recalls that institution which pre-
vailed in ancient Greece, known
as the slayer and the slain"
The Priest-King held office only as
long as he was able to fight off
newer aspirants for his kingship.
A young candidate, ambitious to
fill the all-important role, lay in
wait and dispatched the Priest
King, put on the robes and pro.
claimed himself ruler.

If the corned beef is very salty,
then the water may be changed
just before the vegetables are
added, as this removes the excess
amount of salt. The addition of
the vegetables should be staggered
so that they will all be cooked
just done
StewS of various kinds and meat
loaveS are also ways of obtaining a
satisfying main dish at low cost.
In cooking the corned beef, allow
half an hour for each pound. If
the meat is to be served cold, allow
it to cool in the vegetable liquor,
as this keeps it flavorful and juicy.
Serve with your dinner a hot
bread, an attractive salad, and
Dutch apple pie. Here are recipes
for other dishes that can pinch-hit
on your economy dinner:
Vegetable Casserole
6 carrots
6 potatoes
6 onicnS
l green pepper
l can of tomatoes
] stalk of celery
"a pound of bacon
Slice the fresh vegetables. Sea-
son with salt and pepper. Place
in layers in the casserole. Add the
tomatoes and place strips of bacon
on top. Bake in a moderate oven
for two hours.
Pork Chops With Sauce
6 pork chops
l onion
l tablespoon Of oil
l tablespoon of flour
l p cups of water
12 teaspoon of minced parsley
I teaspoon of dry mustard
l orange
lemon
Pan broil slowly the pork chops.
In a separate pan, brown the
onion in the oil. Add the flour,
the water and simmer for 5 min
uteS. Add fruit juices and season
ingS and pour over the chops.
Cook until well done.
Meat Balls With Macaroni
2 pounds ground beef
2 slices bread soaked

of the commendaole things about
it.
When we need to dye the hair
we want it to be a permanent
coloring, and then it is not neces-
sary to do it over except to touch
up the new growth next to the
scalp from time to time.
TintS
No one should use black dye,
even if the natural color of the
hair is black, because black dye
will always look hard and artifi-
cial, and the dark brown dyes will
take" a nice natural black.
1t was this mistake, as well as
some others, that turned women
against hair coloring.
All hard, artificial colors have
been discarded for the new soft
natural tints, and the hair itself
is treated so that we do not see
the harsh broken ends that
seemed to be a part of the old
method of hair coloring. You
may expect satisfactory results
from the new dyes and new
methods.
Mr.. Eugene S.-If you like the
two products you use-the liquid
and vanishing creanl-why not
continue with them? Most van
ishing creams are made up with
a soap base and are somewhat
drying to the skin, if not re-
moved.
If your skin is dry, use a
cleansing cream, then a good tis-
sue cream every few days. Almond
oil is popular for a soothing ap-
plication. Put a drop or two OF
lavender or pine in it for per-
fume.
We have a satisfactory meth
cd that can be done at home.
1t is the same one that is used
in most of the better-clasS Sa-
Ions and is the one I used in
my own beauty school. l will

A New Hander

Not quite in the province of this
department but mighty interesting
and important just the same is
the new garment hanger designed
for evening frocks. Hanging from
the ordinary hanger is a trapeze
of smooth rope with bar at the
bottom; the long skirt of the
frock is folded over this bar, and
so there is do danger of the skirt
sweeping the floor or being
crushed in a garment bag.

New Type Sweaters

NE'VE all had difficulty
w at times with sweaters
that either stretched or shrank
when they were washed-we've
all wished for a new yarn that
would have all the virtues.
And here it is! It's a mixture
of zephyr and vicuna, which
seems to be just right, for it
is soft to the touch, so good
looking, yet has the necessary
firmness for these advantages: {:
it will not wrinkle; will not
stretch; will not shrink; will
not sag. Sweaters Of this new
yarn, good looking and in all
the bright colors, black and
white, come. in several styles.
Twin sweater sets are $10.95,

Etiquette
Costume for
Wedding
ByMRs.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am going to be married soon,
in a city in another State, in a
church to which my fiance be-
longs. 1t is not to be a large
wedding.
"The wedding is to take place at
8 o'clock in the evening. Would
it be correct for me to wear a
formal, flOOr-length dress of royal
blue velvet, with the same color
hat and silver shoes?
"DO 1 need to wear flowers?
81 am planning to have only
one attendant, my sister. Do you
think that we should have more
attendants?
docs the minister tell you what
to do at the wedding ceremony?
"BRIDE.TO-BE."
Your plan for your bridal cos
tune is excellent, most appropri-
ate for the type of wedding that
you are planning.
WneLner OF not you carry or
wear flowers or dispense with
them altogether, depends on your
own choice.
No, you do not need to have
any more attendants. 1t is in ex-
cellent taste, at an informal we'd
ding for the bride to have only
one attendant. And I'm glad that
you have a sister to be that at
tendant.
Yes, if you and your mother or
sister, or you alone, or you and
your fiance will ask the clergyman
exactly what the procedure of the
ceremony is in his church, he will
be happy and cooperative in tell
ing you about each detail.

WAIT FOR PARTNER

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"If a girl goes to a dance with
her brothers, and several boys ask
her to dance and she marks them
down in her dance book as first,
second and third, should she rise
and go to the partner who en-
gagged The third set, when the
third set is played, or should she
wait for him to come to her? A
thinks she should rise and go part
way, and B thinks she should
wait for him to come to her. c
thinks she ST uld go to him and
tell him that it Is his dance.
"READER."
B is right the girl should
wait for her partner-for-the-dance
to come to her.

links IN Ch1S Cnaln!
And now Chicago furnishes an
other new facet to the secretary
and boss series, which has been
running in this column for nearly
five months. Is there no end to
the complications brought about
by that most modern OF social
business innovations known as
the "Office Wife,"
Professor Harold Smith of Bos-
ton University started all this
trouble when he said any girl find
ing herself in love with her boss
should seek a new situation, as
either her efficiency as a secre-
tary or the love affair would sut-
fer, and naturally it would be the
Job of secretary.
STRANGE CASE
But today we have the strange
case of a lady who began as a
married mans secretary, then be-
came her boss's wife, and later
found herself replaced in his al
fections by a newer secretary.
Here is her highly interesting
letter. which she signs Bitter Ex-
perience"'
Dear Miss Fairfax: ,
81 believe you will agree that
my experience is rather unusual,
because 1 have been secretary to
the boss, and later wife Of the
boss, who again haC an affair with
his new secretary. RetrlbutlOn
bounced right back at me-JuSt
as it should.
"But I can say this on behalf Of
the secretary. First of all, she sell
dom knows the inside facts CON
cerning the boss legal wife, or his
home life. For the truth is, one
thing, the boss just won't tell,
either to wife or secretary, when
he finds himself in this situation.
FEELS SORRY
"The boss wants his secretary to
think of him as big man. He
tells her that he is a good. kind
husband and a generous prOvider;
that his wife simply doesn't under
stand him, or appreciate what he
does for her.
"His secretary feels sorry for
him, pictures his wife a real helllOn
lolling around in idleness and
luxury, and decides that it cannot
harm anyone if she loves this man,
has a little happiness, and perhaps
accepts a little of the unappre-
ciated luxury.
eff the wife's appearance bellies
the boss statements as to his
generosity as a provider, he will
tell his Notwithstanding that
his wife simply has no pride in her
appearance and is an all-around
sIoven. He usually adds temper,
bad disposition, iII-health, and stu
pidity to her long list of faults and
failings.
'HiS secretary believes all this.
She never even dreams of taking
steps to find out the truth. Then,
too, she thinks it is none Of her
business.
"And it is more to her advantage
to listen and Sympathize. So she
becomes involved in an affair
which often makes her an object
of gossip, and causes the wife
suffering and Self-denial.
WOULD HESITATE
"The world is full of 'miSunder
stood husbands. sympathetic, am
bilious girls, and maligned wives
However, 1 honestly believe that if
these same girls would only take
the trouble to learn the truth
about the home life of their mar

SAID the girl who showed us
- this lamp, Perhaps lamps
aren't news, but this one, with a
three-way table reflector, so good
looking, and at just 1895, should
be in the headlines" She's right.
It's the les. lamp, which you
may know as something excellent
for reading, but rather homely to
look at, turned from the ugly
duckling into a swan" You'd be
proud to have it in any room.
There's a stretched silk shade
over a gracefully-shaped pottery
base. Three degrees of indirect
light, so, 100 and $50 watts, are
filtered through an opal reflector
to give scientific, glareless illumi-
nation. It's unbelievable that you
can get all this for just 1895.
