Oh how disappointed you are to tee

appearance that you are to anxioui to,
and should keep, lor beauty and good
looks depend 10 much upon natural
colored, thick, glossy and healthy hair.
Everyone is attracted to the woman
with beautiful hair. Why not have it
get rid of the gray hair keep them out
altogether by using
HAY'S HAIR HEALTH.
You'll be surprised how quickly it will
restore those gray hairs to their natural

Children's Play Clothe.
Dutch pluy clot hea are the privilege
of smart children, but the pretty gar
loots which are shown In a number of
tbe big shops cud be reproduced at
home for half of the store cost that
Is, as far as the imported article is con
cerned, for there are some domestic im
itations' which are quite cheap. The
Doreltles Include frocks, aprons, bon
nets and coarse stockings, with which
are worn the usual leather itaDdnU.
Everything is very Dutch In effect, sub
stantial and amusing, and tbe sizes of
tbe various urtlclea are two to six
years of age.
Little frocks of striped drill, tan
linen or white drill trimmed with a
border Bbowlng designs of Dutch chil
dren can be had ns low as C5 cents.
If the dress is banded with embroid
ery It will cost from $1.25 to 51.15. Id
style the frocks are much like the
square necked aprons or elxe they are
In the form of hlKh. long sleeved
smocks, with front pockets made of
trimming. The aprons are square or
round necked, with the arnibole cut
very deep and the gay bordering used
inly about the neck, arm boles and
pockets or else all around. Tbe same
drills, linens and crashes are used for
tliuin as for the frocks, but of course
they are only used to protect the usunl
alee little gown, as over a Dutch dreas
they would be superfluous. A number
of the bonnets, which are short at
tbe back und show turnback front
flaps, are of tbe same textures as the
frocks and aprons. Others are of
coarse white llneu.
These frocks and aprons can be j
made of ordinary denim, prettily work- j
ed at tbe edges with a herringbone in
colored thread, or dish towel lli.en
could be used, thin ornamented with ;
a banding of the Dutch figured cifllco, j
whoso bright colors would be very
effective against the brown of the gar
ment Again a brilliantly colored cali
co, with figures or without, might form
the banding, for all that Is needed are i
gayety of color and durability. Home
knitted stockings would fill tbe place
of the coarse hose offered for play,
although tbe ribbed stockings young
boys generally wear are quite good
enough.
The Untrained Mother.
Probably the Idea of training chil
dren aright started with Moses. Sum
mon prodded It along a little.
But oo one seems to have given any
admonitions about training the par
ents. No doubt all the rules for bringing
up children were laid down by the
pa rent themselves, so. of course, they
compluceutly think they ore quite ca
puble of rearing children properly. But
many parents need training quite us
much as the children. And many a
young boy or girl who.se life la wreck
ed is primarily not to blame for It.
The real cause lies not with hi or her
wlllfuluesH or deception, but with the
parents, who lucked the training that
fit ted thorn to guide the Uvt or others.
"Has Llelen drunk her hot water thin
morning?" uska Helen's father. Uelen
hcisltutcH nnd gives u .shrewd glance ut
her mother. And the mother, because
she knows llelen dislikes the hot wu
tor and that the practice Is only a fad
with the father, suys, "Yes." In Inter
years Helen's mother tearfully won
ders how Helen can deceive her so
"I II admit I ,hnve spoiled her, says
Helen's mother, explaining to a trained
nurse Helen's willfulness. And. hav
ing said this, the mother complacently
thinks it Is nil sufficient. But this ex
planation will not remove from the
daughter's path all the trials and hard
ships nnd suffering thnt "spoiling" will
enrni!. Even then she was suffering
as the result of it And If Helen ever
does remedy it herself in later life It
will only be through years of earnest
effort and much sorrow.

Interest the Boy.
Giro him a plot of tils own In tbe
garden, or, lacking apace Here, perhaps
tbere Uj an available apace Just over
tbe back fence or In a vacant lot close
by Tour home where tbe small lad can
dig away to his heart's content, plant
some vegetable seed and reap the prodta
froQ h! efforts In due season.
The Idea does not make an instant
appeal to the small boy at drst, but
persuade him to stick at It for a few
days or a week, and It wtll soon hold
attractions that will get hm out early
In the morning to do his digging.
Lettuce, pnrsley, radishes, string
benns, scullions, bush lima beans,
beets, corn and tomatoes may all be
mlsrd with little skill, and If he la suc
cessful with his little gurden patch he
will find a ready market for the prod
