Of course, In shampoos soap is the basis, but if the scalp Is oily some drying agent, such as ammonia, bl-carbonate of soda or bcrax may be added. For example, for an oily scalp I would recommend an olive oil soap wash. This is made by scraping four ounces of the soap Into a rlnt of boiling water and letting the liquid stand where It will remain hot, but will not cook, until the soap is dissolved.

Mrs. Van te Water's mother is the novelist and writer whose pen name, Marion Harland, Is perhaps better known that her own name of Mary Virginia Ter-. hune. It was under her mother's guidance that Mra. Van De Water made her first effort as an author, and it was in collaberatlon with her that she Issued her first book, a manual of etiquette. Mrs. Van De Water's energy has been directed toward the educa tion of her three boys and the conducting of her own domestic affairs, but In the meantime she has found time to do much brilliant work for magazines and Journals, most of It anonymous, and written with a forcefulness and keen Judgment that Is masculine In its power. Her latest book, "From Kitchen to Gar ret," Is, however, as its title implies, a thorough woman-like achievement, and with Its eminently practical nature combines a THE LIMIT. "Sht's too up:rctliou.

To this mixture enough hot water must be added to make a thick liquid. This is rubbed over the scalp and hair be fore wetting it with plain water. This moistening of head and tresses Is neces sary, for without water suds would not form. The head Is not to be put Into water until the shampoo has been thoroughly massaged into the scalp.

A random quotation will contain this. Says Mrs. Van De Water: "If your income will not allow you to live in any but the plainest way, do not be ashamed of It, but have the food that you can afford as well cooked and served as possible, and then set it before your friends with the cordial welcome that Is the perfect sauce. Pretence is always ridiculous; hon est simplicity la always admirable. If there are people who would despise your manner of living, your home is too sacred for you to receive them there. "Above all else, remember what the Apostle Paul says about magnifying his office, and magnify yours. You cannot fail to do this when you pause to appreciate that you are the captain of the craft and that the entire crew look to you for guid ance, for food, for rest and for the mother ing that makes of a house a home."

Proceed as with the former to cleanse. For a scalp In healthy condition, raw eggs alone are excellent. To each egg should be added ten drops of ammonia and five drops of glycerine. The ammonia cleanses, while a small quantity of gly cerine will counteract Its drying effect. A tablespoonful of water should be beaten Into each egg and the mixture rubbed over the head. No soap Is required. When the hair Is dry, lacks ltiRtre and Is brittle, vaseline should he substituted for soap, as the cleansing agent. A small tube of white vasellnn should be worked into the scalp and hair, which are then washed in warm clear water. It Is a tedi ous process to wash out all the grease, but It can be done. The scalp will be benefited by this treatment. MARGARET MTXTE1L tons are effective on the 1910-1911 models. Tan color leather trims suits of henthAr mixture and It Is not unusual to see a hand bag made from leather that matches. An odd idea In millinery Is to cut leaves and flower from cretonne and turn the edges down over a thin alllr i ..!,, all the edges must be finished with small beads sewed on close together. For this decoration the white chalk or ruhhor Kou.i. are effective, and so are all black. Colors, however, are used. When finished the spray should be used to decorate a hat of a solid color or one all in black. The flowers make a handsome trimming, and, if a woman has the time to make It, an Inexpensive hat also, because half a yard of cretonne will be sufficient for the entire hat.

Nothing odd Daughters of s,.v, Miss Alice Jean Webster, the young American novelist, who is known by her pen name, Jean Webster, Is a daughter of the late Charles Luther Webster, a promi nent New York publisher, and Annie Clement Webster. She Is a niece of the late Samuel I Clemens (Mark Twain), greatest of American humorists. Miss Webster was- born in Fredonla the N. Y., in LS76. Her early education was ac quired at the Lady Jane Gray school In Blnghamton. After her graduation from that Institution, in 1X95, she entered Vassar and graduated with the decree of Bachelor of Arts. Miss Webster Is a bachelor maid. After her school days she rpent a year In Italy, and then made a tour of the world. Her first novel, "When Patty went to College," was published In 1!h8, and made an immediate hit by Its delight ful wit, which proved that Mark Twain's niece had a literary gift and a keen humor allied to that of her famous uncle. Miss Webster's later works followed at regular Intervale and increased the reputa tion which she made with her first work. "The Wheat Princess" appeared In 1M6. "Jerry, Junior," In 1W. and "The Four Pools' Mystery" In 1908. Her latest wcrk, "Much Ado About Peter," was issued last year. In this book the author describes In a vein of de lightful comedy the point of view of the life of the suburbs from the point of view of the back stairs. One critic said of the book : "The pleasant Idylls of which Peter Is the hero are at times exquisitely funny and drawn to the life by the pencil of an artist," Miss Webster lives with her mother ti SECOND SIGHT.
