MASSAGE OF SCALP SURE TO KEEP
) YOU FROM GROWING BALD
By WILLIAM
I a thijiu; any such thing as a 'hair
tonic" or a scalp tonic? If so. the
young man who is beginning to
bald will be eager to try It.
grow
It Is Just aa logical to think that me
dicinal applications rubbed Into the ends
of the Angers will make the nails grow
faster as it Is to believe that any alleged
"hair tonic" rubbed Into the scalp will
eause a better growth of hair.
Why do men grow bald? That Is a
question upon which theorists have specu
lated, wonderfully for hundreds of years,
but men continue to grow bald about as
fast rb ever. There Is Just one elementary
fact which can be accepted by all, namely,
that failure of nutrition of the hair follicle
la the causa of the hair dropping out or
ceasing to grow. Our own personal theory
is that men's headgear tends to Interfere
With scalp nutrition by pressure upon the
arteries, and at the same time prevents
the natural preservative action of air and
sunlight.
But, anyway, nutrition of the hair
follicle Is deficient. Can It be Improved
by artificial means? Yes, beyond tho
shadow of doubt. Massage of the scalp
Is the sure remedy, Massage must be
ifona by the Individual himself and It Is
excellent exercise, too.
It must be done at least once a day,,
better two or three times a day, for
about Ave minutes at a time. And It Is
BjoK readily performed in the following
manner;
Grasp the scalp wth the open hand and.
With, firm pressure, epdeavor to gather up
a handful of scalp In a bunch. First one
hand, for a few- grabs, then the other, al
ternately, for It Is really hard work. Keep
H up, going systematically over the entire
scalp, until the skin Is in a warm glow.
Do It -vigorously. Don't be afraid to put
muscle into the work,
A scalp massage, self-admlnlstered. Is
WT a fair recompense for the Injury done
tfe scalp by unnecessary wearing of hats.
Hftta- for men are unnecessary about nine
tsntb of the time; mere vain adornment
mm nothing; more.

"Step-in" Corset
Quite In keeping with the large waist
line is the new step-In corset. This is
lust what it sounds like a coat of mall

The Cup o' Tea
i.i.A merchant gives this Interesting
bit of Information about teas. There are
three kinds of tea thb fermented, the
aemifermented and the unfermented.
Black teas belong to the first class.
Oolong teas belong to the second and
green teas to the third class. English
and Irish women like it black.
Frayed Silk
A favorite trimming on young girls'
frocks this season Is natural silk, used
in such a manner as to display frayed
edges. This edging forms the only trim

I have! been asked to explain Just how
the mother of the bride and the bridal
party should placo themselves to receive
their guests at a wedding breakfast. It
Is usual for the mother of the bride to
receive the guests near the entrance of
the room In which the bridal party Is sta
i tloned. The brldo and bridegroom usually
Btana in ironi or. a Dower oi nowers
which Is placed about In the centre of tho
room, usually In front of a fireplace or bay
window. The brldesmnlds are ranged on
either side of the bride and bridegroom,
and each guest speaks to them as well. The
receiving party does not leave tho room
for breakfast until all tho guests hnve
arrived, then It Is proper to break up tho
ranks and the rfiother mingles with her
guests, while the bridal party Is being
served at a special table.

Brnr Deborah ltuahVo sou think It Is nec
essary to havo n mourning edso put around
ono'a visiting enrds and note patvr If one a
husband has died? How long siioiiM a widow
wear mourning? SOItltOWFUl,
Oood form requires an edgo of black on the
Usltlng card and noto paper Tho width of
tho border may be determined by the i-r-sonal
toate of the one In mourning, but It
should not bo too narrow.
It Is usual to wear heavy mourning for two
sears. At the end of two sears It may be
lightened for black nnd white, nnd sometimes
lavender la worn.

excuse for this sort of thing Is when the
pavements sro very ellppery and one Is not

hard to walk. In tho two latter cases, then
tho woman should take tho man's arm, never
allow a man to take sours. The expression

Are Turcena Used?
Deor Deborah tiutht read your column
alwass, and wish sou would help me In thja
matter Is It correct to help soup at the table
from a tureen? What kind of fork and knife
should bo used for salad? ORACE.
Helping or serving soup from a tureen at
tho tablo Is almost a bygone custom. Whlls
It would not be In bnd form to do so at
an Informal dinner, still It Is better form and
mora up to date to servo tho soup In, plates
from the pantry. Th soup plate Is put on a
placo plate usually.
A small fork la used for salad such as
breakfast olze, though a special one comes
which has a wide prong nt tho side for sep
arating tho leaves, aa n knife Is never used
ror salad If n-Kniro is put at the place It
Is to bo used for the cheese, which Is usually
served with salad DEBORAH 11U811.

The Idea may he
shocking, but
This is the story:
The truth is back
of it.
Mrs. Jones believes
in looking nice, in
keeping her hands and
her face soft and free
from traces of the
day's work. Mrs.
Jones lives in an
apartment and has no
maid.
Now Mrs. Jones used, for
this purpose, La Daintee Face
Cream for her face and La
Daintee Hand Cream for her
hands, ami the effect was
wonderful.
Her face found a smile an
easy thine to attempt and
lost an incipient wrinkle or
two; her hands, formerly
narsn and cracked from the
use of cleansers which were
mostly lye, were marvelously
softened and rested by the
use of the Hand Cream. So
she told her husband about
it. He, being a salesman, dirT
much walking. This walking
formed several chafed and
sore spots on his "Tendons
of Achilles."
Now, Mr. Jones got a
hunch. And Mrs. Jones
made a mistake; she left her
Hand Cream on the table in
full sight, and Mr. Jones did
the rest he used it up I
Every night for a week he
rubbed I thcj soothing -Hand
Cream jpn His acWffgtendons
and theffcalftuserwere soften
ed just aBhis wift'sifiands
had bien softened.
Mr. Jaaefrwas somewhat
put ut when she saw the

membered that she had seen
these lines:
