To Keep Hair in Wave l on Damp or Windy Dayx ThU is a secret thiit will be appreriated by my lady who dislikes the “nervous" tn k of twisting her locks around a heated * iron, perhaps singeing the hair, burning off the ends, and blistering fingers or scalp. From any druggist procure a few ounrea of pure liquid silmerlne, pour a littla onto a clean tooth brush and draw this down th** full length of the halj just W* before doing it up. The hair will have a wonderfully soft, pretty curliness, much more natural looking, glossier and livelier >n appearance than where a waving iron has been used, and the effect will last much longer. Hilmeriti** is neither sticky "or greasy, and there will be no trouble doing up the hair in any style. It will ^ hold it.B curl ev*e >n damp, foggy or windy ^ weather.

The world seems to have suddenly , gone mad on the subject of printed • silks. The public Is buying them as fast as the manufacturers can turn | them out, and there Is no end to the striking and original designs and lovely, vacied color effects. There is no doubt but that the world will he a vastly gayer place this summer owing to the popularity of these figured cotton and silk tna V terials. Frocks of this kind need no trimming, as the design is quite orna mental enough. The bodices are usu ally qtiite plain with bateau necks, short sleeves and a low waistline. All the Interest Is to be found on the akirt which often has pleated tiers Of panels. The frock in the sketch today is of this type, a charming and practical model to wear in the house now and later, In the hot weather, on the street. It is black and white printed crepe, for in spite of the demand for color, the manufacturers report that they cannot make black and white combi nations fast enough. A narrow girdle and accordion pleated panels on the skirt give dis tinction besides being graceful and of the mode. Pleated panels at th« back of the sleeve* and on the skirt bring grace to an unusually effective frock of black and white pjlnted crepe. 30 Ye«r»* Experience Fineat Koster-Colorado Black Hill Spruce, Blue and Red Cedar, Cut Leaf Birch and fineat nuraery atock.
