somstlmes objectionable by wear
ing a barrel-Hie hat
After years of publio meetings, but
bandly pleadings, newspaper excite
' mtnt and general derision, aarcaam and
prayers, the lady condescended to xe
bioto bar millinery.
Those woman who gave in airly In the
tarn and who sat with bared heada
war looked bpon aa weaklings by the
rest of the sex.
Theatrical managers pleaded in vain.
Finally, tbe question grew to such big
importance that the lawmekera ceased
to toy with taxes and tariffs, coinage
. matters and corporations, and gave all
their attention to the big bat and the
dear girls who clung to.lt with both
hands and yelled to be left unannoyed
by reformers.
- So off came the bat-but not gra
cloualy. ''
Now Is It possible that these dear
women have been getting their re
yengef J .:''"',".:; V ' ';
Anyhow, during the last few months
they wore atop their brows the most
massive coiffures of amailng and won
derful design and architecture.
Tbe pompadour that formerly lopped
' down over a woman's forehead: and
tickled her nose became displaced by
fashion.
POMPADOTJB'S FBSAX8
First It went up In front then It ex
, tended Itself around on the sides and at
' last In the back, r
Even a little front pompadour takea
considerable hair to put up a good ap
pearance.
When It grows to any slse at all. it
- simply must be upholstered. Even with
the helping aid of Inside pompadour
It takes all the hair one can raise to
bush out a pompadour that extends en
tirely around one's Intellect
With one's own hair used up, what's
left for .the cupola on top?
Not a shred.
Therefore, women flocked to the halr
dressers and exchanged gold for puffs.
If one curl looked dainty, more looked
better. It was simply temptation to
pile .on magnificence. v '
t A woman began with merely a rat '
From thaj she went to a puff or' two,
t perhaps an Innocent little puff curl.
Suddenly aha became Violent and the
fever raged fierce, within her. She could
pot paaa a-balrdresser's window with
out being threatened with a 'new out
;. break in. the false hair slock.
At the theater the false hair mania
loomed up wildly on the horizon, and
"a steady howl has been gotntf up from
: mankind , against these extra beautiful,
stylish hairdresses. Now fashion calm
ly announces that this wonderful scene
of hirsute glory must fade away. V,
y The fair lrl Insists that it remain-
but it will soon be the same old story ' s
of the vanquishing of the big hat by
the unfeeling theater manager.
It Is perfectly true that tbe hats of
the last season have brought about the
new exaggerated coiffure, but the knell
of the big hat has been sounded and
the smaller headdresses are' now con
sidered much the smartest ,

beyond the line of Ita growth In the
back.
The smaller crepes are required
with the new arrangement of hair,
the beauty ' of the coiffure depending
entirely on the softness of the hair
and the waving; for the alight puff
ing required.
The figure eight is still worn, but
ot Up .and down; It la across the
back of the head from ear to ear.
, Care should be taken that It does
not protrude at any point from the
head.
If necessary, H should be taken loop
by loop and securely pinned to the head
after each loop is flattened out
Over this is put a net which is
securely fastened, to prevent the hair
from elipping below the line of
growth.
The hair must be made to keep close
to the, head, and if not naturally
neat, it must be made so by invisible
pins and a net
The secret of the whole thing this
making the hair look nicely Is the
correct washing of the hair.
" If the hair Is run quickly through a
basin of water and hastily rubbed dry .
it wtllnever fluff properly.
It will lie In sad, droopy folds In
side the butter-bowl hat and It will
not frame the face.
The really successful woman prefers
to shampoo her hair once a week rather
than leave It for a once-ln-alx-weeks
washing. i.
Hair that la done frequently, say once
a week, does not gather oil as quickly
or as heavily as hair that la done only
occasionally. .
And the result is that it is easier to
handle.
It can be very quickly shampooed.
And,, having less oil in it the drying
does, not take so long. It will look
prettier and fluffier, and there will be
no awkward days when the hair is so
full of oil that It will not curl at all.
Hair that is fluffy la light hair, and
this means that it must be lifted and
shaken often. It must be shaken dry
each day.
The hairs, after a night's sleep, have
a ''tendency to cling together, and the
mere going through them with a comb
will not separate the clumps or mats
of hair.
It is necessary to lift the hair lock
by lock and shake it until It is llgr.i.
The hairs will be separated and the
locks. Instead of being matted, will be
loose and soft
Hair that Is wet la the rain ahould
be dried as soon as possible.
If the hairpins rust In the hair. It
means that the locks will look and
feel rough.
The mere pulling of the rusty hilr
pins out of the hair will tear It ad
sometimes injure the scalp
Women with thla hair can usually
blame ruaty hairpins for a great deal
of the trouble.
Every woman should remember, how
ever, that no matter what exact line
of coiffure shs adopts, ahe muat be
' sure it is the very best one for her
face.
No matter how. busy she is. no mat
ter how serious the affaire of the house
hold, she should give a few hours to
learning how to arrange her hair prop-,
erly, and that lesson will stand her in
need for many a month.
Don't wear the hair in a certain way
because anothsr woman wears that
way.
That Is fatal.
Try it and give It a good test with the.
hand mirror, but don't adopt it unless
sure that it Is what the face requires.
Remember, when adopting these new
styles of halrdfesslng that are Just
coming in. to wear an invisible net at
all times and learn to put it on care
fully, which means loossly, so that It
will not bind the hair.
Remember that to be well dressed to
day requires first of all a shiny, well
brushed, well-kept head of hair.
That there muat be no sagging of hair '
over the ears.
That there must' be no stray ends or
flying locks.
That there must be nothing of the
blow-away coiffure that was popular
some seasons ago.
That there must be nothing of the
wild assortment of false hair that has
been so popular of late.
That there must not be a bulge in
the wrong place or a tight drawn wisp, .
all of which spell failure In the new- :
est styles of coiffures.
Cold Sores :
O. M. I When cold sores anneav
bit of absorbent cotton, which bat been
saturated with camphor spirits, la very
effectual. . . ;
The spirits are much better to Use on
the sore than camphor Ice, A dose of
citrate of magnesia will ooot the blood
and put ths system in a better oondl
tlon. ; . ,vr
The thin, pliable file Is the best to us
on your nails. The oldtlme ; heavy,,
thick file caused ragged nerves as well
as ragged nalia. . ,.-;
lvn to lift the cuticle away from!
the nails by means of the cuticle knlfa
and an orange-wood stick. ,' :V
You win find the operation very mucM
easier if you soak the hands In warm,
soapy water before attempting to push
back the cuticle. , -
Liver Spots ' !
G. R.-Llver spots are very unbecom
ing and ahould be removed. Try this
ointment: One dram' of aubnltrate of
bismuth, one dram of white precipitate,
one ounce of benaoinated lard. .
If this doesnt do ths work, nothing
but a decided bleach will have any ef
fect This ointment will surely banish
them, except where they are unusually
stubborn. : -
The antiseptlo mouth wash yon In
quire for Is as follows t One part of
thymol, twelve parts of bensolo add.
Ixty parts of tincture of eucalyptus,
three parts of on of peppermint and C0
parts of alcohol.
Add a few drops to a glass of water
and use for rinsing mouth night and
morning. ; ,
. Hair-Curlinr Fluids , '
T. IhHair-curling fluids are not Teryi
satisfactory, but this formula la about
the beat: One-half ounce of borax
fifteen grains of gum arable, six drama
of spirit of camphor.' eight ounces of
warm water., ::w;v'. s. .
Dissolve the solids in warm water, and
when cool add the camphor. ' '
Wet the hair with the fluid, arrange in
ringlets and Bin with hairplna. ! ,

ALONQ CLASSIC LUTES
I The new coiffure is pompadour, built
along classic lines flat in front always.
It Is slightly enlarged exactly over the

brushed up around the ears, with a roll
beginning about half an Inch above the
';;ears.. . :., :: 1- v

Ail correspondents who desire an im

envelope for a reply. This rule
must also be compiled with in regard
to personal letters,. ,
1 For Tender Feet.
B. Ii, IkWash the feet In cold water
night and morning, rubbing ury with a
rough towel, after which 'mop on the
following, solution: One-half ounce of
sallcyllo acid, four ounces of alcohol.
This is not only refreshing, but will
often prevent disagreeable perspiration.
LotioH for Damp Hair
F. H. J. For greasy, moist hair the
following is an excellent dry lotion. If
Used daily It tends to produce a crispy
conditions . One-quarter ounce' of pow
dered bicarbonate of soda, one-quarter
ounce of borate of soda, powdered; one
. fluid ounce of eau de cologne, two fluid
S""?,?",.0 alcohol, sixteen fluid ounces of
distilled water.
Mix and agitate until solution is com
plete, .
ounces of powdered orris root one ounce -
of powdered camphor.
v Triturate the camphor in a mortar,
moistening it, with a very little alcohol.
Add other ingredients. Mix thoroughly
and aift through a fine bolting cloth.
Bunion Cure
' MARTHA Bunions are generally
caused by wearing tight shoes. The
shoe rubs against the foot and makes
It very sore. -
Use the following recipe: Two fluid
drams of carbolio acid, two fluid drams
of tincture of iodine, two fluid drams of
glycerine.
Apply with a camel's-halr brush dally.
Removing Superfluous Hair
H. H. It is quite Impossible for the
amateur to remove superfluous hair
with the electric needle. The experi
enced specialist must have months of
training before being aura of making
a success of the Job.
The tiny needle is inserted in the pore ,
beside the hair itself, and it must be
So delicately manipulated that it will
follow the hair aa It turns or changes
Its direction.
The hair does not always grow
straight Into the skin; often it slants
or turns. Unless the needle reaches ths
papilla In which the hair root rests the
destruction of tbe hair is not complete.
The specialist also knows how to In
sert the needle without ' giving pain,
while the unskilled Individual will punc
ture the tissue, causing more or lees
. pain, and in some cases leaving an
unsightly scar.
A scar Is caused only when the tissue
Is destroyed.
Don't tamper with the growth you
complain of until you can have it prop
erly treated.
Itching Ears
R. L. An unpleasant itching' of the
ears Is most usually caused by ede
ma. Women who are subject to this
ailment should eat quantities of fruit
' watercress, dandelion and lettuce.
For a local application a weak solu
tion of carbolic acid, which may be se
cured at any druggist's, " wlU prove
healing, or llsterine diluted one-half
with water will allay the fearful irri
tation of eczema.
It is always best of course, to con
sult yoor family physician, since the
trouble may bo a serious one, that
'will in time affect the hearing.
Hollow Places Under Eyes
ETHEL Hollow places under the eyes
can be filled out by massage and the
constant use of a good skin food.
Much benefit will come from bathing
the eyea every morning with cold salt
water, and by applying occasionally a
compress of rose water.
' Wash forRed Blotches
LOTTlE The following wash will
often heal red blotches that are the
after-marks of pimples that you com
plain of: One ounce of glycerine, one
half ounce of rosewater, twenty drops
of carbolio acid. Have druggist com
pound it and apply to face with aoft
sponge. '
