WeauftA W^M To begin with, If your hair Is dry, harsh, given to letting unlovely wisps of uneven lengths stick out round your face, and at the nape of your neck, do not shampoo too frequently. Instead, shake equal parts of powdered arris root and cornmeal Into It once a week, and then, with a sort, tine in fants' brush, take it all out again. Some women use merely dry starch and are satisfied when they see the powder that went in so white coming out a dark gray. They know that their hair has been cleansed. This process over, dip the finger tips in □live oil or rub them along a piece of cocoa butter. Carefully and gently massage the scalp till every part has benefited by the emollient. Then, take another soft baby's brush (not the one that cleansed your hair), and brush each of the six strands into which you have divided your tresses many, many times. The irregularities of length always "ound when weak or neglected hair is beginning to be strengthened by care can only be dealt with, almost hour by hour, after the following fashion: Have innumerable tiny hair, pins matching your hair. If that is dark, line black pins will do. If it is extremely blond, you should purchase the tiny silvered invisible plus—they can be procured. If your tresses are any of the various shades of brown, use bronze or gold invisible hairpins. Curl the recalcitrant locks and then skewer them to the longer and more Kolid masses with these pins. Of course, if you have to make a hasty toilet curling irons must be re sorted to. But a soft piece of old muslin, or a kid curler—these are of various qualities, and the more ex pensive are many times worth the dif ference in price—will produce a more natural curl and one that stays in longer. Some people are able to keep these straying wisps in pretty curls merely by steaming them. Others dampen their fingers Just before they begin to dress in the morning and twist their little bits of hair round and round the dampened fingers, leav ing them thus twisted for half an liour. This produces the most natural and lasting curl of all. Further remedies for dry locks are the following emollients, sparingly used: Hay rum ~...4 ounces Spirits of ether 4 drachma Glycerine 1 drachm Kalyciiic acid 4 ounces Alcohol 4 ounces If this is massaged into the scalp for a lew minutes every night the hair will lose its hay-like appearance and become glossy and healthy looking. One pint witch hazel, one pint good whiskey, 5 cents' worth tincture quinine and 5 cents' worth tincture of cantharldes. All a few drops of clarified lemon juice, shake and bottle.

Will you kindly suggest an original way of announcing an engagement at an informal card party?—M. A. This may not be an original way. for I find nearly every scheme has been tried by some one, but It is a very pretty manner in which to make the glad tidings known. When refresh ments are served have the cakes heart-shaped. Put two on each, plate, one frosted with pink and the man's initial or last name on it in white, and the other in white with the girl's last initial in pink.

I am always interested in your col umns and find them a great help., 1 am In deubt about a few questions that bother me. A boy friend of mine is about to leave town and has asked me to keep corresponding with him and not togo with anyone else. Should I keep this promise if I see someone I like better? Is it proper to kiss a boy good-bye at the train, whom I've gone with for over a year? What would be nice for a gift to give a boy who is going away? Most girls at the age of sixteen do these things. Is it proper? I want to know the fight thing. SWEET SIXTEEN'. I do not think a girl as young as you are should make such a promise to any boy, and do not kiss him good bye at the train. It would make you conspicuous and you might regret it some time. I know It is hard for all you young people to look ahead, but you will see things like I do some day. Give the boy a silver pencil or a desk set, something that he will find con venient. Most boys like practical cushions for their couches. A Variety of Questions. Do you think it Is proper for g young man and a lady to have pic tures taken together? Do you think it is all right to have a young boj take you to a party at night? My mother never objects to me talking to a boy and all the other girls talk to them and I do, too. I hope to have my answers in the paper soon. H. A. I hope I am not too late with your answers. The correspondence Is large and the space small, so only a few let ters can appear each week. There is no harm in having pictures taken to gether, especially of the postcard variety, which are usually "just for fun," and I suppose that is what you mean. There is certainly no impro priety in accepting a boy's escort to a party or in talking to boys. They are not dragons and I hope I never ob ject to anything reasonable. MADAME MERRI.

SELLERS, Director of Even ing Department, The Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JUNE 2 HYPOCRISY AND SINCERITY. OOLDEN TEXT—"Take heed that you do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them; else ye have no reward with your Father which Is In Heaven."— Matt. 6:1. Someone has called attention to the "buts" of God as recorded in the Scriptures, showing that they always lead to something good and contrasts them with those of men that are always the introduction to some derogatory re mark. In something resembling this the words of Jesus, "Take heed," are tremendous with import. Doing was the greatest thing in the Jewish religion that Jesus came to set aside when he established his new kingdom. It is easy for a man to try to do for himself in order to merit God's favor. It is hard to let God do for us and we to accept his finished work. In this lesson there is one inclu sive word and three illustrations. This word is the word "righteousness" sub stituted in the Revised Version for the word "alms" in verse one. The three lines of application or illustra tions used are, first, that we shall make our righteousness secure by so doing our alms as not to be seen of men; second, that in the saying of our prayers we shall not, like the hyprocrites, desire to be seen of men, and third, that in the keeping of our fasts and our vigils we do them, not, as do hyprocrites, that the multitudes may observe and comment thereon. In another lesson upon this mani festo of Jfcsus we studied the subject of the law and in it he summarized it all by telling us that except our righte; ousness shall exceed the righteousness of these Scribes and Pharisees, whom John the Haptist designated as a gen eration of vipers—hypocrites, we shall in no wise enter into this new kingdom which Jesus came to establish. Righteousness He Demands. In the lesson Jesus shows us the difference between their righteous ness and the righteousness which he la demanding of the subject of his kingdom. He demands that our righte ousness shall seek Its approval not from nor among men but of God. The motive which must govern is the glory, not of man but of God, not man's approval but Ihe approval of God. In verse two the word "alms" is retained and hence the first illus tration has to do with our "doing of alms" i. e, our relations to men about ns, our right-ness. The doing of alms has no fundamental connection with any question of honesty between man and man. The doing of alms accord ing to the strict interpretation of civil law is no part of duty. There is no reason why the business man should give away his earnings provided he is just in his dealings and does not de fraud in his transactions. Yet we do see men making great gifts and bene factions to the cause of philanthropy. Why? Jesus lays bare the secret when he says, "that they may have the glory of men." Next Jesus takes up the subject of prayer. Again our attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of prayer has but little to do with our relations to men. True it is these relations must be right before we can come to God acceptably but prayer is to be di rected to God and not toman. Apart from our belief in God, why should we pray? Commercial or other inter-rela tionships do not require prayer, why then pray? The keen blade of Jesus' logic again reveals the innermost se cret, "that they may be seen "of men," aud such an idea of righteousness is repugnant in the kingdom of Jesus. We now come to the third illustra tion, the keeping of fasts. Fasting does not and never has appealed to the natural man. Naturalfy it is re pugnant and distasteful and yet we see men making a show of fasting and imposing a like burden upon others, why? "That they may be seen of men." Is there, then, no place for, nor ministry in fasting? Certainly there is. True fasting, however, con sists in foregoing and abstaining for the "glory of God " God the Final Judge. It is a sad fact that much of our len ten fasting and of our abstemiousness upon Fridays is that it shall be seen of men and not because of any real ap preciation of the underlying need or sense of the principles of fasting. This lesson is a great warning that if we condition our righteousness upon the approval of man it will have no re ward whatever ot God The ostenta tious or unctious display of phil anthropy will receive its reward from men and weighs naught. Followed through this lesson applies to all the walks of life. For illustra tion, to adulterate food for gain and yet appear active in church for the upbuilding of a reputation This false ness is the sin that lies back of graft and corruption and that allows Amer ica to have"the worst governed cities in the world." It is quite noticable that there is not a single personal pronoun in this model prayer. It begins with God. leads us through his dealings with man and back once more to him to whom all glory belongs. OLD AND NEW WORLD BRIEFS FOR THE BUSY A strike of 15,000 transport workers was begun in London. The congressional baseball game will be omitted this year. Republi cans say that there is too much poli tics and, besides, the Democrats are a bit too strong. Fred Warnke, a coal operator, of Scranton, Pa., and known as the "bulldog o the coal strike," testified that he gave Judge Archbald SSOO in a culm-bank deal after the jurist went to his office and reminded him of the matter. John T. Brush, owner of the Giants, says the Highlanders can use the Polo Grounds, not only on Memorial Day but for any other important games during the season. Mr. Brush makes known his offer in a letter to the New York American League club. Many Democratic women attended a breakast at Washington to com memorate the 140 th anniversary of the birth of Dolly Madison. A prosecution for t slander was be gun in Brussels against persons who had circulated a report to the effect that the Queen of the Belgians had surprised her husband with a lady of the chamber and had shot the latter dead.

The New York Times of March 23. 1912, in an article dealing with Cana da's progress, says: "At the present moment eight ship loads of European immigrants are afloat for Canada, while there are signs that the outward movement which is customary with us during labor troubles will be marked this year. There is no such startling rec ord of our loss to Canada. Our citi zens quietly slip over the border in groups or trainioads, but their going Is not advertised. "There is no mystery why Canada Is the 'good thing' the United States used to be. It is because Canada is following in Its neighbor's footsteps that it is repeating the fortunate ex perience which its neighbor is envy ing, even while deliberately turning Its back on the teachings of the past. A fortnight ago the Dominion budget speech reported the unprecedented surplus of $39,000,000, and on Thurs day the Government passed through the Committee on Supply credits of $38,000,000 for railways and canals. With this assistance the railways themselves are both enabled and com pelled to increase their facilities. Ac cordingly we find a single road allot ting ten millions for work of its own. Naturally the Canadian newspapers contain announcements calling for fifty thousand men for construction work. This influx is apart from those Americans who go with money in their pockets obtained by cashing in their high-priced American lands. "A St. Paul dispatch says that with in a fortnight two thousand carloads of farm animals and machinery have passed toward Canada, the property of men who expect to pay for their farms with the first crop." NOT THE DESIRED RESULT. "What luck did you have with that fellow who advertised to make you taller?" "I found after I had paid him th? I was shorter." ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY "When my baby was two months old, sho had eczema and rash very badly. I noticed that her face and body broke out very suddenly, thick, and red as a coal of lire. I did not know what to do. The doctor ordered castile soap and powders, but they did no good. She would scratch, as It itched, and she cried, and did not sleep for more than a week. One day I saw in the paper the advertisement of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, so I got them and tried them at once. My baby's face was as a cake of sores. "When I first used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, 1 could see a difference. In color it was redder. I continued with them. My baby was in a terrible condition. I used tho Cuticura Remedies (Soap and Oint ment) four times a day, and in two weeks she was quite well. The Cuti cura Remedies healed her skin per fectly, and her skin is now pretty and fine through using them. I also use the Cuticura Soap today, and will continue to, for it makes a lovely skin. Every mother should use the Cuticura Remedies. They are good for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap is also good for shampooing the hair, for I have tried it. I tell all my friends * how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured my baby of eczema and rash." (Signed) Mrs. Drew, 210 W. ISth St.. New York City, Aug. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and Oint ment are sold everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuti cura," Dept. L, Boston. Later the Better.
