EXERCISES TO INVIGOR-

Evils of Tight Hats
"Smart and attractive though the | tight-fitting barets and felt helmets may be, they are producing a pro blem for the hair-dresser," stated the manager of the hair-dressing department of an Oxford-street store. "Our customers are coming to us with tho'r hair pressed flat to the head and looking tired and dull, Tight hats do not harm the hair it- self, but they are apt to prevent the skin of the scalp from breathing properly unless there is some means of ventilation in the hat. It iB quite a simple matter and we often advise our customers to prick a few holes with a needle on either side of the hat in the looser part of the crown. These are not noticeable.
Hot Oil Massage
"We are giving massage with warm o 1, compounded of tar, castor and cod-liver oils, as a remedy for extreme casés. Special masseuses give this for half to three-quarters of an hour and give also Swedish exorcises for the hair. This is fol- lowed by a shampoo, and we re commend women after a lapse of a few days to continue massage of the head with the tips of the fingers, night and morning.
Women Who Dislike Hair brush
Drill
"If women would brush their hair thoroughly, even though it is short, tight hats would have far less effect upon their tresses," added the manager, "I am afraid that women are now apt to be more than little lazy and careless in this respect. I suspect that in the old days of long hair they brushed it out only to remove the tangles. Now it does not get brushed at all. Five min- utes' hard brushing, with a bristle hairbrush, night and morning, is the best possible treatment for the scalp upon which a tight hat is worn most of the day. Two minutes is better than none."

Black Is Seen In Sheer Fabrics
The princess silhouette, while not new, is seen this fall in a less exaggerated model' than that of last season. The whole affect is softened and modified to meet a domand for simplicity. The skirts, for Jnstance, remain short and youthful and do not lean towards the formal affects of the long, dip ped skirt of last year's princess modela. Fuller interpretations in transparent fabrics make this a charming type of dress for formal afternoons or dinner.
The smoothly fitted bodice and gently flared skirt of the princess line are seen in models which are not a direct descendant of this mode. They are sometimes belted at the waist and at other times possess interesting fares and ru ffles on the skirt,

Striking Simplicity
INEXPENSIVE TEA-CLOTHS
Nice little ten-cloths (about a yard square or a little more), nap- kins and runners, may be made of butcher's linen, embroidered in fast colours (cotton,) or of unbleached factory cotton, with "apples" 'or flowers of coloured linen or cham bray appliqued in the corners-, usuully worked around with fust black. Be sure to shrink the goods before making. These cloths are lovely when serving afternoon tea or, evening refreshments. Larger lunch cloths may be made of th factory cotton in the same way. Buy double-width unbleached fac- tory cotton. Make the cover 1 yards aquare; the strip taken off the sides makes the napkins. The lunch cloth may, cover the table to the edge, or may be an enlarged centrepiece with dollies all round the edge of the table.
