Many of them are far from dainty, yet whenever a young girl la men tioned the mental picture of her la al ways petite and neat and generally charming. There are a few girls, essen- K tially dainty, who take the greatest I'auiB Willi &i . v ii m. unvu a u have fascinating little tricks which . make them wholly feminine and wholly attractive. For Instance, there Is a girl I know who never dresses In the evening with out attending to all the little details sometimes neglected even by the neat est girls. She dabs a little- powder on ' her face Irt JUsf the right places and proportions. She brushes her eyebrows so that every hair is In place. She makes little dimples In her checks with the tips of her fingers. She daintily touches the cork of her perfume bot tle to the tips of her cars, and, last of all, Just before she leaves her room she holds up both little hands and shakes them so that all the blood runs from them and leaves them white and pretty. AH such care Is only vanity; but, after all, isn't vanity a good quality , when it inspires a girl to care for a .Vlalntv atinearance? Isn't one who la neat tar more luiuiy 10 succeed in mis world man one who is caieiess aim slovenly. In appearance, no matter how clever the slovenly one may be? It Is well to cultivate, early In life, little habits which improve the appear ance. Somehow, when a woman Is feel ing well dressed she Is far more likely to bo amiable and agreeable than when she feels herself at a disadvantage aa to attire. It is not a mistake to take time in dressing. The minutes so spent are useful In that they tend to Increase self respect and self-reliance.

For an Itching Scalp Will you please tell me how to get rid of parasites and how to cure an itching scalp 7 1 would also like a good tonlo to make the hair grow. I. N. A. The cure of parasites Is merely a ques tion of cleanliness. I am giving you a prescription for a shampoo. It woujd be better to use It twice In -three days. The head will Itch until the unfortu nate condition you mention Is entirely cured, and I think if the hair were kept clean, it would grow without the appli cation of a tanlo. I am. however, print ing a formula for a good one. Cure for Parasites. Cut a cake of bichloride of mercury nap Into halves, and shave one half Into line bits. Diaaolve It In boiling water. Tou may set tha mixture on the stova over a gentle heat If you choose. Ton should have tha water form a Jellylike mixture when cold.

To Curl Hair Can you sugigest some way for me to curl my hair? I want a nice, deep wave, but I do not like to use Irons. 8E7VENTEKN. There are several ways to give the marcel effect, and any one f them la good. One of the easiest ways is to part the hair In many strands and wrap each tiny one upon the ends of a wire hairpin, twining them In and out. Another way is to braid all the hair in little Topsy plaits, leaving It thus over night. Many patent curlers may be pro cured at small cost, and almost all of them are effective. It Is my Intention In writing these ar ticles on etiquette to help those who wish to know. To this end I will cheer fully answer all letters addressed to me In care of this paper. For personal re plies, please send stamped and addressed envelopes. THERE are many, thoroughly vers ed In the little niceties of dally life, who are utterly at a loss when tt comes to planning a formal church wedding. The home affair and the civil marriage may both be man aged entirely In ac.ordance with the desire of the bride, both as to time and arrangement, but the church wedding is a formal ceremony with hide-bound rules to guide It It Is for this reason that we will for today consider the many regulations custom has Indorsed In regard to the church wedding. In the first place, the family of the bride provides the trousseau. It Is easiest. to say that the bride's father pays for everything concerning the bride till she Is married. For the pur pose of convenlet.ee we will take It for granted that the brlda has both parents, a married sister and an unmarried sis ter. The father of the bride pays for the decorations at the church and the house. If there is to be a reception or break fast, he pays all the expenses of the en tertainment, and he provides the gifts for the bridesmaids, which are usually pins of some kind or plain gold bangles, lie also pays for tbe Invitations. He provides the carriage for the bride to drive Jo and from the church, the carriages for the Immediate family and for the bridesmaids. The groom pro vides his own carriage, those for his ushers and for his own family. After the wedding he returns to the house In the bride's carriage. ABOUT CABB.IAQE3 s The carriages for the bridesmaids go to their own houses for them and take them to the church. Needless to say. It Is not necessary to have a separata carriage for each girt The groom sends . the bridesmaids their bouquets or para--sols and the bride her flower or prayer book. . Assuming that the bride's sister win . be hr maid of honor, she will drive to the church with her moth ex, another carriage will take the married sister and her husband, while the father aad tha bride wia drive la a third carriage, la cold weather the last eee should be fceeted ee tbe bride riewd wear M wren.

It hi nel4rr bad Irt ftw tve KrU-rroora to ee t-a hrvta po tta wedi-eg dl before the ccretoc-ay. and To Fatten the Neck rTxT MAKE the throat full and round the best exercise is to bend the head slowly forward until the chin touches the neck, and then slowly raise the head to Its normal position. Repeat these movements until you are tired. Then bend the head as far backward as possi ble. Sitting erect in a chair, bend, tjhe head from one side to the other, and then roll the head to the right, left and for ward. Another good position is to let the arms hang loosely at .he side. Raise the shoulders as high as possible, then forward, down and backward, until , a circle is formed. Continue this for a time and then reverse the motion. Do this every day for Ave or ten minutes. It Is also well to massage the neck and shoulders well with cocoa butter. For the Good of the Hair THE hair must be always well wash ed once in six days when staying by the sea. as the salt air (rets into It and makes it sticky and unpleasant to the touch. A little borax may be used in the water and the hair dried in the open air afterward. Od even the unsuperstltlous agree thatit is good form for the bride and groom, not to meet till they stand In the church. The groom, accompanied by his best man, waits for the bride at the chancel steps or before the minister who is to marry them. She walks up the aisle on the left arm of her father, preceded first by the ushers in twos who head the procession, then by her maids also in couples then by the maid-of-honor, who walks alone. If th.ere Is a flower girl, she walks di rectly in front of, the bride. THE CEREMONY As the procession nears the waiting groom, the ushers and maids stand to one side, so the bride and her father walk through the double line. The bride then takes her place at the left of the groom. The best' man stands on his right hand. The bride's father re mains on her left till he has "given his daughter In marriage," when he Joins his wife, who is seated In the front pew at the left of the middle aisle. The groom's family usually occupy the right side of the church. It is best to reserve the first eight rows of pews on both sides of the center aisle for the immediate family and for their intimate friends. The ushers are told who is to be favored by a seat In these special pews, and the rest of the guests occupy pews farther .back In the church. Usti-lly one end of a white ribbon is attached, with flow- -ers, to the end of the eighth pew and, when the time comes for the bride to enter the church, two of the ushers take the loose ends of tbe ribbon and, caflying them back, fasten them to tbe lastpew In the church. This effectually bars any ons getting In the way of the procession or leaving during the cere mony. After the couple have been made hus band and wife they turn and, with the bride en tha right arm of her husband, pass between the 6duble row of attend ants aad on down the aisle.

About Weddings THERE are probably more super tit lone about weddings than about any other one event In life, and, foolish as they are, they are rather Interesting., How ridiculous It would be to put credence In the fact that no bride may be happily married unless she finds a spider on her wedding morning. It that were a universal belief It would d cldedly pay to raise the hideous crea tures Just to sell them to supersti tious brides-to-be. Then, again, it Is said that the bride groom should always carry a miniature horseshoe In Ms pocket, so he may have -good luck ' . Unhappy marriages, the superstitious think, are caused by a telegram re ceived on the way to the church by .either bride or groom, dropping the Una; during the ceremony or a marriage at . : After all, there ara lot of rules that the bride will hear much of the last two days before the marriage, but she Is sure to have good luck If she eomply, with the good old belief that she should : wear at her wedding: Something old and something new. ( Something borrowed and something blue. t Strange Hair Tonics AN interesting story Is told of a girl of 16, who suddenly and unaccountably lost all her hair.. In despair her mother sent for the doctor, who told her to have the child's head shaved and to wash it three times a week with a mixture formed of one-half ounce of coloqulntida and ' a pint of good Jamaica rum, Tha family tried It, and to their surprise the remedy was successful, for not only did the hair return,' but It grew out a beautiful golden shade. The Juice of a lemon applied to tha scalp Is said to be a remedy for tha falling of dark hair, and another strange balr tonic Is made of three common onions steeped In a quart of rum for twenty-four hours. A man .whose eyes had been treated by Injections of pilocarpine had a new growth of hair at the age of sixty. Rum and castor oih in equal parts, ara known to be one of the best hair grow- ers In existence. A Convenient Dis- . infectant A HANDY disinfectant for household use Is made of chlorate of lime moistened with vinegar and water In equal parts. It may be kept in the eel- : lar all the time, and In case of sickness a few drops scattered about will purify the air In the room. To ool the Hands TITHEN the hands get hot and uncora- ' fortably moist It is a good Idea to wash them In hot water and then rinse them In tepid water to which a dessert spoonful of borax has been added. It is the custom to pay these fees in gold, and their amounts should be In accordance with the financial status of the groom. The proper time for a formal wedding to take place is at high noon 12 o'clock. ; Sometimes 12 is an Inconvenient hour either for the groom or for some mem ber of the family who lives at a dis tance. Should this be the case, tha. wedding must be timed according to necessity. The original reason for tha noon hour was to allow a wedding to be celebrated after the communion serv ice. This custom still holds In Eng land. There are many brides and grooms, however, who arise early in the morning and go Xo service, the wedding occurring later In the day. It Is"" a beautiful custom, the conjunction of the sacraments, and it deserves to be mora universal Unless the wedding be after o'clock in the evening, the bridegroom always wears a frock coat, light trousers, white ascot tie, white gloves and high silk hat Tbe ushers are dressed In the same way. For the bride there ar only two choices of costume, the con ventional white wedding dress and veil or traveling gown in some light color. -She wears no Jewels save the gift of th groom. As a girl may pe a "white, bride" only once. It is a pity to be married in a street dress. IMPORTANT DETAILS ? Even when the bride Is unattended the groom must have his ushers and best man. for It Is the former's duty to seat the guests, while th best man holds tbe ring and the hat of the groom during the ceremony. The ushers, wblia they are ahowlng people te their seats, leave their hats in the veatry roo.-n. but when they walk up the aisle 1 procession they carry them In thMr left hand, almoet on a level with their shoulders. The groom and his Wat man hold theirs while they await tbe bride, but during the ceremony tbe best snaa holds both. He returns the groom hat to him while the maid of honor te arranging the veil and traJa of the bride Just aa they tura for the rera slonai.
