WHY la .it all young girls ara
spoken of as dainty? 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

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. Mothers

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.

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

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. The are fol

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
