What May Well Be Described as a "Fascinating Ugliness" Is Predominant? Ideas, However, Still Have a Charm. What may be described as a "fascinating ugliness" is the dominant note displayed by present fashions, this stamping a world of thln?r? tlmt would seem hideous were they not so dlstractingly smart. In truth, the liost superior nature Is scarcely proof against the wiles of the odd tight skirts, the quaint draperies and snug little bodices, though a change of heart " may come when you try them on, for these modern follies of fashion are only for the nymphs of the human race. Skirts express the hobble Influence in a hundred and one Patterned Material, the Rear Cut Shows the Plain Veiling. ways, tho Jupe short enough to show ankles in the smartest cases and frequently with a wide, plain bottom attached to a gathered top.

It is a difficult thing to do, but I believe h girl whose hair Is decidedly blond may keep it so if she takes endless pains in its care. Her efforts should be directed first to keeping the scalp in a healthy condition, for I know of no tonic which will not bo 1 very apt to darken the color. This is | because ill! rnntnin nllc ' ? ...v.. V. I than others, it is true. Hut greaso is extremely likely to affect the color, and it is the tendency of light hair to become dark as years go by. Agents which are decidedly bleaching in effoct are not good for a natural blond, because they dry the scalp oils, and taking away this nourishment from the tresses causes them to fall J or to become dull in appearance. Yet J it is true that cn/ln nr nunn w i.i.* I if applied with something else In the very smallest quantities, may be bono flelal as to the color effect and not harmful to the head. The only r.hampoo for a goldenhaired girl is the whites of raw eggs, I think. Those art; cleansing, and. commended for blondes. It Is made by putting an ounce each of rhubarb and strained honey into three ounces of white wine, letting th<> mixture ; stand, tightly corked, for 21 hours, 1 when it is strained. This Is rubbed over (lie scalp and hair, drying in be- , fore being washed out in clear water. A blond in list sec that her hairbrush is kept scrupulously clean, and pro- : tr cl her hair :tll she can from dust. ! Washing is not to bo done more often than once a month. Accumulation of natural oil is not to be permitted, for it will at once begin to act as a darkening agent, but neither should tho scalp be made dry. MADE FROM A WICKER BASKET j Dainty Handkerchief Box That May Easily Be Fashioned by Skillful Finyers. Fancy wicker baskets In a variety of designs and of a suitable size for holding Handkerchiefs may ho bought for very little, and treated in tho manner shown in our, sketch mako hand;, little articles for use at home, or for a small present, or for sale in a bazar. In the first instance, the lid and interior of tin basket is lined with pink batiste, sewn in its nlace with thread i-wmuir.inK no coloring matter, will . not change the shade. To each white I might ho put a piece of bicarbonate ! of soda the size of a small green pea i and five drops of ammonia or perox- J ido. A tablospoonful of soft water is put to each white. For an ordinary (amount of hair four whites should bo required. These, when well mixed, j are rubbed over the scalp and in the hair, this part of th<> work taking at least five and r n ferably ten minutes. Not until all is wet with It la any wa- ! tor put on, and then the head la washed in clear warm water, putting .a pinch of soda in the final rinse, if tlie scalp is inclined to dry neither f.'.da, ammonia nor peroxide should be used at all.

Qerndt, In > X X The Silv< By TEMPL Copyright, 1910. by Ass It was fate that maile Juliet's birthday anil that of her prospective mother-law come In tho same week. It is not expected that the course of true love will run smooth, and, heretofore, tho love affair of Juliet had had 110 uneven places. She loved her betrothed; he loved her, and they both loved his mother. Now and then a little Jealousy of Carter's mother crossed Juliet's mind. The older woman was fascinating and beautiful in a way that Juliet had never been and never could be. Juliet was pretty and fresh and pink anil /-<--?? - vv., n uiiu Vvdi Hil a IIH'illOr WHS stately and classic. The two women talked of tho son and lover who was in the far west, and planned for his homecoming. "He will K^t here In our birthday week," the mother said, "and we will have two cakes; a white nno for you ainl a gold cake for me. You shall have white candles and I'll have yellow ones, and wo will have jonquils and lilies of the valley in tho middle of the table." Their disappointment came when Carter wrote that he could not get l.nAlf < ? * ! * 11 * * 11 ill mm: lur I lie COICDrUllOn. J 10 Ront a box with his letter. In It was a silver purse and a set of Drowning. The two eanls told that the purse was for Mrs. Crowell, the books for Juliet. Juliet eyed the silver purse wistfully. She had wanted one for years, anil Carter know it. She felt .1 little hurt that ho should have sent her books. Of course on the flyleaf he had written "With love, from Carter." 0 Si its V > < JI h A' s 1 ^ m 1 y ^ iiii ) I''*"" x ^ mm Him now lovoiy ii was or htm to think of her and to send n loossago of his iovtj In tho words of his favor- ; ito poet. Tho next day tho two women wont downtown together. Mrs. f'rowi 11 wore the silver purse. .Inltet her shabby pocket hook, nml away from tfte glamour of (lie love pasages, again felt slightly aggrieved. Why should Carter add ' is moth r'a beauty with dainty trilbs, when 'bat of his swot heart needed enanclng? Moreover lie ba<l heard Iter peak of her love of pretty things. 1 Vet h" had sent her crave books that mist stand r.n the shelf. * lunt'ii lingered the si!v r nndhag with delight. "It was dear f Carter to send mo this," she saiil. "1)1(1 you like the books, Juliet ?" Juliet answered faintly. The purse at close range seemed so desirable and the hooks on the shelf were re mote. She wanted something that she ooulil show the girls, something that would glitter and swing from a | Talked of the Son and Lover. She took her hooks and wont homo rather soberly. That night she read them and finding certain of tho exquisite love poems, was thrilled and enraptured. She wrote to Carter and Kiivf r cniun and add the final touch ! to her costume. On the way home she still cherished her s-nso of grlevance. To quiet h<>r doubts she pot ; out Carter's letter. It was written in his usual difficult scrawl, and she read it slowly. It hreathed his love frr her and she went to Vd cornforted. Cut tho day her host girl friend came to soc hrr. "What did Carter Rive you for your birthday?" Mary ftsUod. Juliet hesitated. "Rooks," sh? said at last. "Oh;" Mary's voice hold no on thuslasm. "I hope no otio will give j mo books for my birthday. I think a man ought to plek out Roniothinp: personal.

"dome to lunch," Mrs. CroweU Invited, and Juliet agreed. While Mrs. Crowell prepared tho lunch Juliet looked over the letter. "It's a little hard to make out," she called to tho older lady In tho I other room. "I'll read It aloud when 1 have deciphered It." As she read a flush came to her Cheeks aild a Unlit to her evnp. fnr I this was the letter: ' "Mother Dear: I have just received a note from Juliet. In It sho thanks mo for my gift of Browning's poems. 1 also have a letter from you in which you thank me for a purse. Now, as a matter of fact, I sent the silver purse to Juliet, and the poems to you?1 know how you love Hrowning. 1 am SO SOI'l'V that vnn stmnlil liavn linon disappointed because 1 intended you should have the? books you have so iong coveted. Hut Juliet seems so pleased that 1 hate to tell her of her mistake. Will you buy yourself thi- books? 1 want Juliet to have pretly things, yet knowing her, I feel that If 1 explain she will feel if. necessary to return the hooks to you and to take the silver purse which would mean so much less to her. Some day I can give her ;ill the trilles to wear that she needs, and she has called the books "precious." So don't toll her | anything about it. I'll wrlto again I n?Uii <mu bivi; ynu me news; tnis ih ! simply to correct my bluntl \ I supl>o! e the cards wore mixed in tomo I way. Yours always, Carter." , When she had finished Juliet drew 1 ' quick breath. He had wanted her | to have the purse, he had remem' hered her love of pretty things. Tho exchange would bo easy. Mrs. Crowell coveted the books At this moment the older woman cnine In with the salad In a silver <ii-h. "Hid he say anything about the purse?" she asked. "It was so lovely of him to send it to me. Men are so apt to' think that we older | women care nothing for the dainty things of dress. I got books, and hooks, and books, and practical things. It's a pleasure now and then ; to have something different." Juliet's breath came quickly. Suro| ly Carter would want his mother , savtsi from disappointment. It seomod j to bring her closer to him to think that kIu' might have a secret with I him, something that they could hiilo from his mother, rather than something that he and his mother should hide from tils sweetheart. "Head the letter," the older woman said as they sat down to the table, and Juliet read It. making up as she ' went along sentences which told that no was glad she liked tho purse, glad that Juliet liked (ho hooka and said nothing of his mistake. After that they chat tod of tho coming inarrlago and Juliot's plans for it. When Juliet went homo she wroto to h< r lover and told him all ahout it- how sho loved tho hooks and how his mother had delighted in the silver purse. "I want her to keep it," sho said, "and you must, not send me another to make up to me, for I like to fool that it is my gift to your mother ns well as yours Some day I'll give her a set of Drowning and then sho will have both thines timl nr?v,.r iumn' difference." Tho answer that came from him repaid her for her sacrifice. "I am polng to take yon at your word," ho said, "and let you do without tho purse." Hut on their wedding day, besides the diamond pendant that he Rave her, there was another gift. Wrapped In tissue paper and tied with whlto ribbon, It mado a rather bulky packago. Within Khr> fontwl :> ? ?? all glittering mesh and pparkllng stones. It was a thing beau.lfnl enough for a duchess, a thing a prlnro might have presented to tho lady ho loved, nnd that was what it moant to Juliet; the gift of the lovir who had given her the greatest gift of all?his heart's best and purest adoration.
