Hair Hints The demand for puffs Is still Increasing. The home girl must save all her combings and take them to the hairdresser to be made Into puffs. By doing this you will save almost half the cost of them, and In addition they will match perfectly and you will know what sort of hair you are wearing. False hair Is worn In great quantities, and with the present style of headgear It Is really quite essential. Do not resort to the use of the curling Irons unless you Imply have to. Ninety-nine cases out of every nun dred you burn your hair, and It takes weeks of growth to replace It. Put your hair up on curlers every day, If only for half an hour, and dampen the hair with cologne water. This dries very quickly and helps to hold the wave. If you use an Iron (but, as I said abqve, do not unless It Is an absolute necessity), do not heat the Iron very hot. Got a good, even heat and press the hair while you count at leaBt sixty. The great trouble with curling the hair at home Is that you get the iron very hot and crimp, rather than wave, the hair. The best Irons to use are the ones that make a double wave. You will find them at any shop, and they have either four or six prongs. Massaging the head every night rather than brush ing it helps towards that curly appearance. Doing these simple things at home Is really far better for the hair than the habit of going to the hairdresser, for constantly ondulating the hair la not good for It, even when done by the professional. 0 V II DOOR SMALL ATTENTIONS THESE! are of divers sorts, and neighbors never lack in apprec iation of your genoroslty In now and then sharing with them the kindly fruits of the earth, a gift of flowers, a good hook, or the loan of your maga zines. It is so easy and so prolltnlilo when your garden is overllowlug with fruit, or vegetables, to pick a bnskct ful of particularly fine plums, pears or peaches, and, arranging them most nt tractlvoly, send them, with a note or card, to the Planks, whose garden you know Is none of the best, or whose strawberry crop has been a dead fail ure. Again, If you have been presented with a barrel of particularly tine ap ples, or a splendid box of roses, and you feel generously Inclined, It Is perfect ly permissible to send a sharo of these across tho npartment-liouso hall, or up one flight to tho family that you may not know even by name, but which you have a right to pleasantly approach be cause they aro your fellow-occupants of the house. Thus the very fact of living near to people gives you certain pleasant privi leges, but believe me that It never gives you nny right to Intrude upon their privacies, and one of the must Important and delicate attentions you can show your neighbor Is to restrain yourself from ever taking a liberty with him. A little carelessness on this point so often leads to trouble that 1 cannot forbear to suggest that, In order to live In harmony with your neighbor. and to keep his lasting lilting, you should never allow yourself to become careless in your intimacy with Ulni. Familiarity, ns the old saw says, does not so often breed contempt as it breeds neglect f illness; and when you grow so familiar with your neighbor that you neglect some of the little for malities of life, differences and ill-feeling are very apt to be the outcome. Kxpoilenoe has proved to me that It Is, for 'example, the better plan never to grow so familiar with the family next door that you venture to drop hi upon them at nil hours and to stay us long as ever your leisure permits. do frequently and In the most informal fashion to the lilunks, If you And them sweet, cordial and congenial people, Inn do not always make your entrance like a member of tho family by tho rear gate or the back door. Tho neighbor who has this habit, and who persists In It, Is apt, in time, to render his presence a nuisance and n burden. " " ' I - WINTER PUDDINGS Steamed Fig I'liddlngi This Is rather a hearty dessert, and Is ex cellent to servo after a dinner of few courses. Chop very ilna about a third of a pound of beef suet and work it with your hands until quite creamy. then add a half pound of llgs chopped very line, work the two together un til well blended. Soak two and one intra cups ot stale bread crumbs In about half cup of milk for half an hour. Add to this two eggs well beaten, one cup sugar and a teaspoon of salt. Com. bine tho two mixtures, and put into small buttered tin molds, cover and steam from ono to two hours, accord ing to oven. Serve with the following sauce; The yolks of two eggs, well beaten, and add gradually while beat ing, half a cup of powdered sugar. Heat tho whiles of the two eggs until very stiff, and add gradually to it half cupful of powdered sugar. Now combine the two mixtures, beating them well together, and add three tablespoons of sherry and a little salt The beating of this sauce is the secret of Its success. Fruit I'iiIT Padding is not so rich as the above puddings, and Is a delicious dessert. Mix well ono pint of flour and ono and a half teaspoons of baking powder with Just enough milk to make a soft batter, rut Into greased cups first a layer of batter and then a layer of any preserves, such as raspberry Jam, preserved strawberries, etc., then another layer of batter, and so on until the cup Is full. Steam for twenty min utes, and serve with this sauce: Half a cup of butter ami one cup of finely powdered sugar, teaspoonful of vanilla and two tablespoons of wine, or fruit Juice if preferred. One-fourth cup of boiling water, white of one egg beaten to a foam. Cream tho butter, add the sugar, vanilla and wine. Just before serving add the boiling water, then add the egg and heat until quite foamy. This is an excellent sauce for any steamed or baked pudding. Curling the Hair in New Ways NOW that the mushroom hat has oome to stay at least, for aivother season the hairdressers are reaping their harvest over and over agal'i, for the hair must be worn fluffy to make these haes at all becoming;. Many of us have not- seventy-five cents to give these professional, hairdressers every few days, and we must makeshift as best we can with home-made devices. i Shampooing and properly drying the hair has much to do with the home work. Perhaps you do not know that if you dry your hair over a great big roll of paper like a pompadour, your hair will stand up naturally. If you wear your hair parted in the middle, part It while still wet and let it dry that way; likewise, for those who part it at the side. If you wear It low on one side of your forehead, pull the lock down In that manner while It is drying, and you will find that the erstwhile unruly lock will stay well put. Dry the hair in the sun without fail, and, If the day is not too cold, in the open air, There are many artificial curlers to be worn at night, but most of them have rubber on them In one form or another. This Is most Injurious. Your choice lies between two methods, the old fashioned curl papers or rags, or the kid curlers. Remember that you want waves and not crimps, so make the roll very large. Hair to curl well must be "lly; this 13 something that you must look after. Occasionally sifting a little talcum powder Into the hair Is good to relieve this oily condition, but the powder must be well brushed out after it is applied. There are many patented curling fluids on the market, sold under fancy names, but Just plain old fashioned quince seed lotion is about as good as any. The following lotion has also been used with great success. It should not be used more than once a week, as It is apt to dry up the hair: 1 ounce of gum arable; once of good moist sugar; pint of pure hot water. Dissolve this, and when cold add 2 fluid ounces of alcohol; 6 grains each of bichloride of mercury and sal-nmmoniuc. These last two should be dissolved in the alcohol before admixture. Lastly, add enough water to make the whole a pint and perfume with any desired cologne. Apply to the hair and then put It up on kid curlers to dry. Perhaps the most successful way of making a deep wave Is done in the following manner: Separate your hair Into about a dozen strands and twist them around large rolls of paper so they look like big balls of hair. Now pinch them with what is known i pinching iron, if you can get one, and if not, have some member of your family hold a flatlron lightly upon each roll until you feel that the heat has gone well through the hair. Of course, the hair must be wet when put on the rolls; the iron will do the drying. If possible do the final drying in the hot sun, but be sure the hair Is perfectly dry before the papers are taken off. If the hair is to be worn in a pompadour, take the papers out when the hair is almost dry, but not thoroughly so. Do not comb It out, but take a big roll of paper like a "rat." and put on your head. Let the hair dry over this, and when dried It will stand up naturally In that man ner. Be sure to dry your hair in the shape It Is to be worn. This is a most Important point. If you have not enough hair of your own and you find it necessary to buy some that is false, do not invest In a cheap "rat" that Is sold at the notion counters for 25 cents. These are made of dirty scraps of hair, pickings of almost anything. They Irritate the scalp and often are the cause of disease. Get what is known as a "transformation" or a false niece made from natural hair, matching your own as nearly as possible. If you cannot afford this sort of false piece, go without any; but do not, I pray you, wear those cheap wired "rats." D Veils for Windy Weather (iriihniii Pudding- Is another simple dessert that any child could eat with out harm to its digestion. Two cups of graham flour, half cup of butter, one cup of milk, one cup molasses, one cup of raisins and one egg. Take a teaspoon each of cloves, cinnamon, all spice and soda, Holl two hours, and Serve With a llatlld snnc flnvnro,! wltlt I lemon. AMIS FAS1UON has said we must have no hips this season. An other mandate that she has send forth Is that all well-dressed women must wear a veil with all street cos tumes. The latter order seems to have been gratefully accepted by the cring ing public, for rarely is a woman seen on the street this season without a veil of some sort or description, We who live In big cities have a large assortment to choose from; those of us who are favored with gold and sheckles can satisfy our every want and have a veil for each and every costume; but the woman who lives out of town, with a small purse, must manage with fewer veils and less conspicuous styles. These populnr face coverings r.re made mostly of two materials chiffon and net. As both of these materials are to be purchased by the yard in any department store, the making of veils at home Is easily accomplished and nt a great saving of money.' Brown Is by far the most becoming and most popu lar color for all-round servlce. Brown net veils, made up, cost from two to five dollars each at the stores. The clover girl can save at least one-half of this amount by buying brown "ring dot" net at the lace counter and making the veil at home. The long sweeping veils worn so much last summer are past' and gone. To-dny the longest veil in demand Is a yard and a half. The ends no longer flow In the winds, mak ing an ungainly sweep of chiffon flying after us. They are snugly tucked up undor the back rim of the hat and phuted tightly on the back of the hair by means of a fine hairpin or fancy veil pin. Hut remember no long streamers at the back! Whatever the color of your new win ter hat, match it in chiffon or chiffon cloth of thin quality. If the hat is very large you will need a yard and half. To be made In fashionable style this goods should be edged all around with some contrasting fabric, but of the same color. By that I mean edge the chiffon with three rows of tiny brown velvet ribbon or brown silk lace or insertion with Irregular edge. Or if you wish it perfectly plain, then hem stitch It all around or feather-itltch it with bro -:i floss. You cannot buy mown eogings or Insertion, but ' you can dye white lace to any desired shade by the investment of ten cents in anv reliable dye. These chiffons and nets come In every conceivable shade, and any hat or plume can be matched al most exactly. Nets that are dotiblo width should be cut In half for ordinary ' sized hats. Put the other half away until the part you are wearing is soiled and mussed, then take out the fresh one, and you will have pretty veils all winter. Veils are not worn In the evening ex cept for the purpose of keeping your hair in order going to and coming from a certain objective point. If you wear a veil In going to the theatre, re ception or other place of amusement you must take it off entirely when you arrive, and it is always better not to wear them at all after dark unless ab solutely necessary as a protection against wind and bad weather. The woman in mourning who is not wearing crepe will And that a perfectly Plain hemstitched chiffon veil Is her hest choice. A veil for this purpose must have no dots, and fancy nets are not permlssahle. PLUM PUDDING IMum ruddlDKi Take two cups of alslns, two cups currants, two cups suet, one-half cup almonds, blanched and chopped fine, two cups flour, two ups grated stale bread crumbs, one- half cup each of citron, orange andj lemon peol, eight eggs, one cup of sugar, one-half cup cream, one-half up each of sherry and brandy, largo pinch salt and some grated nutmeg, one teaspoon baking powder. Put into large bowl the raisins, seeded; cur- unts. washed and picked; suet, chop ped very fine; citron, orange and lemon peel, chopped fine; sugar, wine, bran dy, eggs, and lastly the cream. Add sifted Hour with baking powder, salt and the bread crumbs, mix all together and put In well buttered molds, or bowls, set in pan of boiling water to reach half way up sides of molds, and steam for live hours. Turn out on dish carefully. This will make two large puddings, or several small ones. They can be put away and heated when wanted by steaming for two hours, cni-e being taken to allow the steam to penetrate the pudding. When serv ing, pour a cupful of brandy over It and set tire to It when taken to the table. ADVICE TO GUESTS THERE are some guests who are moody and unhappy if left one ' moment without amusement companionship of some sort. Every hour of the day and every moment of every hour must be carefully planned and filled for them with diversion, or time hangs very, very heavy on their hands, and they become greatly dls gusted and wearied with their unhappy situation. "To understand the true art of mak Ing yourself an agreeable guest is to take care that you do not fall a victim to this unfortunate habit, and is also very thoughtfully to give your hostess a little breathing spell every day when you are within her gates. She has, you must remember, many household duties to perform. There are her children her servants and her husband to be considered, and you must not, therefore, put In a first claim on quite all of her time and attention. Once or twice a day, then, make it habit to while the hours away by yourself or with another guest, or with a member of the family who Is quite at leisure to help you And diversion. A woman can always steal away to her room for a nap after lunch or go for a walk with the children or retire with her novel and her rocking chair into a shady spot on the piazza, a-nd If you can do this good naturedly and naturally. If you can thus display little of the spirit of independence and contentment with your own company, you t -acceed in Just about doubling the comfort and true consolation that your hostess finds In your presence. REPOSE THE NEW FANCY WORK V HE girl who would make the best showing for the time spent on fancy work, no longer em broiders center pieces and doylies. To day, work Is put on bits of dress In stead, and all because of the craze of hand embroidered accessories found on the up-to-date gowns. Put a bowl of flowers In the center of the table and forego the hand-worked center piece, covered with roses, each rose repre senting hours and, hours of work. In their stead embroider a band with which to trim your be.t hat. embroider bretelles for a chiffon blouse, a vest for your tailor-made gown, collar and cuffs for an evening coat, girdle for a party frock, and Innumerable pieces of neckwear. F you have a desire to succeed In pleasing people remember that "repose is as necessary in con versation as In a picture," and that you cannot do better than relax a lit tle when you talk. Do not let your shyness or your carelessness In habit place you at so sad a disadvantage that you swing vigorously -back and forth in a rockhng-chalr as you talk or listen. Willie conversing do not shake your foot, alter your position ten times In as many minutes, twiddle with your watch chain, a lock of hair, or a button on your coat. Do not play a devil's tuttoo with your fingers on the arm of your chair, pick up and play with evenly small object within your reach, run your hands repeatedly through your hair, and nodding your head with-almost mechanical rapidity repeat half automatically, "Yes," "yes," "really," "really," etc. These are all merely foolish manner- Isms that not infrequently grate most cruelly. Sometimes, indeed, these small but easily conquered faults amount to postive annoyance In the eyes of critical and well-bred persons, and then they go far toward destroying your ability to claim serious attention. SHE WROTE THEM N the Beecher family the name of Mrs. Stowe, of "Uncle Tom's Cab In" fame, was often quoted to the ounger generation as one having au thority. On one occasion a grand-niece of Mrs. Stowe became very angry at a play-mate and, stamping her foot, said: I hate you. and I don't want anything more to do with you, nor your man-ser vant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox. nor your ass." Her mother sternly reproved her, asking her if she knew what she was saying. Little Miss Beecher promptly re plied: "Yes, the Ten Commandments." "Well, do you know who wrote them?" The child, looking disgusted, an swered. "Goodness, yes. Aunt Harriet did, I s'pose." $5.00 NOW Saves $2.50 Later CLURE'S is now $1.50 a year instead of $ 1 .00, as hitherto, but we believe all readers of McClure's are en titled to an opportuni'y to get it a little longer at the old price.
