I Charlotte tried to control the
tense of being ashamed to offer
this unusual gift to their particu
larly fastidious friend. It had not
been her selection. ' Billy had pur
chased it in haste when he became
weary of the round of shopping,
ith a sense of in justice 'gnawing
lit her heart, she perked her hat
and began to draw n her long,
white kid cloves. Just as she tried
o worK the kid glove down over
r thumb she heard a-jpp.
"I've done it now. We can't ;
'"Done what?"
I "Look, it's simply ruined. And
I haven't another pair of gloves in
the drawer. What shall I do?".
J , As Charlotte spoke, she began
jto search her glove box in a futile
effort to locate another pair of
White kid gloves.
I "If only it wasn't Mrs. Heming
way's dinner," she wailed "I could
wear any old gloves."
1 "What the matter with these?"
jBilly picked up a pair of white silk
gloves that stared up at them from
jthe half-open box in Charlotte
itop drawer.
I . "They're silk," she said, a note
of surprise, in her voice. "I
Icouldri't wear silk. .It's not correct."
I "Then why not slip on these
gray ones? They're kid gloves,
aren t they .7" asked UiHy.
"They are suede, dearest. And
one doesn't wear dark gloves to ! a
dinner. Not if one knows-the
rules," returned Charlotte in a sar
castic voice. ' j
"Then it remains, a question o

either wearing i-the torn ones,
choosing another pair or staying
home. Take your choice." JJilly's
tone was stern and direct. He
watched Charlotte go once again
through the, drawer as: -she hastily
thought over her decision-
"At least," she remarked, "the
gloves ought to be white. I'd
; rather have white ; ones on than
. any other color. But those white
silk : ones, are horribly soiled. I
might possibly i be able to get by . ;
with them if they were clean." .
"111 wait," laughed, Billy, "while
you launder them." -
Charlotte misunderstood his atti
tide. She picked up the gloves
and carried them in her hand to
the door, while Billy went to ths
windows to lock them before de- K
parting. In the next moment .
Charlotte had plunged the gloves
-'. into the bathroom basin.
Billy appeared at the doorway.
"In the name of all that's
wicked," he exclaimed, "you didn't
think I meant to launder them now,
did you?" ; T
"Oh, didn't you?" Charlotte's
eyes' gleamed mischievously. "I
thought you'dbe ashamed to hare
me 'appear with soiled gloves, dear.
It. wont take a moment to rub
them out."
"But how in thunder will you
dry 'em? They won't become dry
miraculously, you know."
"I never thought of that. IH
wring them very dry and"
"And slip them on and wear 'em
wet," finished Billy savagely.
That was what Charlotte had to
.. do to appease her husband. .
As they rode along to Mrs. Hem
ingway's apartment she wondered
vaguely if the" gloves would be dry
by the time, they arrived, they
neared the house and Charlo.te's
heart gave a strange little quirk.
The gloves were stifi wet.
She put her hand to Billy's faee
and he assured her of her doubts.
The gloves were wet. She won
dered how she ciuld greet the fas
tidious Mrs. Hemingway with cold,
clammy hands and not excite a
host of embarrassing questions.

who opened the door in response
to their ring, Charlotte kept her
hands behind her. As Mrs. Hem-vr? "

(To B Cntiaul)
time ago, about the use of
henna for faded er "graying
hair, I have been fairly deluged
with inquiries. j. . ,
: 3forUiat reason I have decided
to tell a little more of the ore of
this hair restorer; so that those wo
men whose hair is just on the turn
may save it before it becomes en
tirely gray. :
The Summer season always does
- damage to the color ef the hair.
Strong sunlight, while an excellent
tonic,-will fade out the top the
- hair, streaking , it ; in unbeautif ul
patches. Hair that U beginning to
gray tand I do not mean by that
hair that has become silver white
in placesshould be classified for
the same treatment as the faded .
. hair. - '
Hold your hand mirror in the
strong light and examine your hair.
; to ascertain whether there are sil
N ver hairs scattered through the .
others. If so, you may bring back
the natural color by the use of the
- henna rinse. JBut if the hair is
white in ' patches, 1 1 advise rthe:
henna pack.
Faded,1 streaked hair; hair that
shows gray ones scattered through
out, and hair that is dull and life
less in color may be made beauti
ful by the henna rinse. The rinse
is made by steeping henna leaves
in boiling water for a half hour, ;
pouring off the liquid and using it
as a last rinse after the shampoo.
There are various kinds of henna
on the market which are prepared .,
for the various shades of hair. But
these prepared products have
certain dye ingredients added, to
their henna basis which I cannot
fuarantee. The henna leaves will
righten up dark haiTt throwing
little glints of red through it.
When it is used on blonde hair it
will give a reddish tinge which is
more attractive than the faded
color. I do not advise the use of
henna to change the color of one's
hair. Only in extreme cases,
where hair has suffered the 'rav
ages of illness or where exposure
to the strong sunshine has streaked
its natural color, do recommend
the use of the henna rinse.
The rinse is a very different
treatment' and far milder than the
henna pack." The pack is used only
for extremely faded or grayed hair.
Contrary to many of the adver
tisements which exploit prepared
henna, the henna does not restore
natural, color. It dyes back to a
shade aa near the natural as pos
sible. ' But it does not restore the
natural coloring matter of the hair. v
- That' is why one must! use- care
in" selecting the shade which will
"take" like the natural. ! If your
hair is ! dark brown, I advise that
you select a' shade of prepared
henna i lighter than the natural
color of your hair. Henna takes
darker after a few days, j
To prepare thi .treatment an
enamel pan is necessary, a tooth
brush,; a wooden spoon, a wide
atrip Of cotton wadding long
enough to encircle the head, and a
The i henna powder isr emptied
into the enamel pan and stirred
around with the wooden- spoon.
Directions on the container de

for the pack, as the ingredients are
blended in proportion and must be
stirred together to mix thoroughly.
Boiling (not -" just hot) i water is
added to the henna powder and

advisable to use rubber cloves, al
though 'stains may be; removed
from the fingers with ammonia and
peroxide mixture. 1
The hair is parted into even
strands and the henna brushed on
the hair with a wide toothbrush.
It is applied as hot as possible to.
effect better results.
' When thoroughly distributed
over the hair, the cotton wadding is
wrapped about the head securely
to keep the henna warm. As an
added protection, the brown paper
is folded and wrapped around the
head in the' same manner, .folding
in the top to keep out the air.
i Prom one to two hours is re
quired to effect a result, and the
time is Judged according, to the
grayness of the hair. When the
cotton and paper is removed, -the
hair is again shampooed to remove"
all traces of the henna, f Any spots
on forehead or neck are quickly
removed with the peroxide and
ammonia solution.' The hair will
be light at first where the gray
hairs have been colored, but in a
few days they will darken. -'This
prepared henna may be had
in every- shade , from j blonde' to

'HE housewife who stops to
figure out a budget, so that
waste may be checked up
and eliminated in the household,
will soon discover that the pantry
shelves can save her many dollars
when properly maintained.
Purchasing foodstuffs in quan
tity is one of the ways money may
. be saved on this important expen
diture. One must plan the pur
chases with an eye to thrift, for
not all food products are wisely
taken in large orders.
Soap, for example, saves at least
one cent per cake if purchased by
the case. It affords another sav
ing by drying "out while in the
store closet, so that each cake lasts
longer than the soft, fresh soap. If
you select a good, pure but inex
pensive soap you will be able to
use it for toilet, bath, kitchen and
luandry purposes, and a full cpse
will not be an over supply. One
cent per cake does not appear to
be a large saving when figured per
cake, but counting the number of
cakes of soap used per year in
the household one can show a tidy
sum on the budget if purchased in
quantity.
Soap powders and other clean
ing agents show a margin of sav
ing on the budget when purchased
in bulk. There is the added con
venience to be considered as well,
especially if the shops are not
within easy access of the home.
The woman who allows her Stofk
of cleaning agents to run out and
discovers it only as she begins
work will lose time by having to
stop to dress and shop for ma
terials. Vi i - "
- Canned goods may be selected In
a choice which permits an inter
esting change of menu. At this
season of the year the stores begin
to sell their stocks at reduced
prices. Canned goods marked at
exceptionally low figures 'are usu
ally last season's packing. The
thrifty woman will not turn down
these goods because of the notion
that canned goods must be this
year's, pack to be wholesome.
Canned products, if well canned,
will last for several years. Vege
tables and meats are kept canned
for several seasons with perfect
safety. While fruits may be kept
for a similar period of time, the
acid fruits are likely to deterio
rate. Because of the popular belief
that last season's pack is not as
wholesome as fruits and vegetables
packed this year, the shops rid
their shelves of their last season's
supply t a reduced figure. The
thrifty housewife will take advant
age of these prices. 1
If the family is small it is well
to select one's supply of perishable
food products in smaller contain
ers. The housewife who plans for
a family of five or six will save
money by purchasing her products
in large containers. '
A small can of spinach will be
enough for dinner for twOj with a
quantity left over which may be
combined with egg next day as a
luncheon dish. Spinach, com, to
matoes and canned apple sauce do
not keep fresh long. Therefore it
is wiser to purchase these products
in small cans. To open a quart
can of corn for two people is
wasteful unless the remainder may
be used up as corn fritters, etc.
Corn sours quickly. Canned milk
must be selected with care also if
dollars are to be saved in the pan
try. The small cans are more eco
nomical for the small family than
the large ones.
