THE NEW FURNISHING.

That is exactly what i would liko forthe room, but my friends all say it is too ordinary. Can't you think of something which no- body has done before? I must have something unusual, even though it does not make the room look so nicel"

The speaker was a very modern woman in consulation with a de- corativo export regarding the furnishing of her own particular sitting room, and her reinark is typical of the attitude of scores of present-day men and women domestic owards common or Furnishing. No longer is the quipment of a room a matter for ne display of skilled docotative art or individuality, of "period schemes" or sheer comfort, of consideration of the aspect or gen- ral attractiveness nowadays tne cult of the unusual holds sway

TENNIS CLUB ETIQUETTE,

Some tehnis, clubs are much stricter than others in the rules they impose upon mombors using their courts, and it should be the care of everyone to observe these scrupulously for the sake of the general welfare and credit.

With regard to dress, while pale colours are generally periníssiblo, at certain clubs all-white only is approved, and in any case, it is in the best tasta to wear the conven- tional outfit. The new divided tonnis skirt may not be accopt- able overywhere, and is, after all, more suitable for practice games on, one's own court than in the comparative publicity of club courts.

The length of times court may he in use by one set of players is usually a point decided by club rules. Selfish monopoly of one by a "singles" while "doubles" are obviously waiting for a vacant court is not sporting. It is only reciprocal courtesy to suggest that others take their turn. CONSIDERATION FOR BEGINNERS.

Crack players should also roa- lise that beginners have joined the club for opportunities to im- prove their game, and romembür- ing that they have equal privil- leges, give them a chance.

Self-control and good temper on the club tennis court are most important assets, To show on- noyance at a partner's mistakes, or to betray chagrin at the pro- spect of being boaten, is not only exceedingly bad form, but earns the member an unenviable re- putation, and if sharp words are spoken, draws the consure of the secretary, as the former will find to her cost.

MOTION PICTURE ACTRESS.

My yellow hair, heritage of my Nordic ancestors is my distinguishing feature, and I give it much attention.

I always shampoo my own hair with a thick jelly made of custile soap dissolved in water, I put this on a small sponge, und scrub my head with the sponge. Newer would I be guilty of putting the soap bar directly on the scalp That is very bad. I give my head threa washings with soap and hut water and then rinse until the water is absolutely clear. In the last water I add lemon juice-that's for sheen. For rinsing I ul- cays use lukewarm, never cold water, for cold water has a tendency to straighten out one's natural waru.

My sculp is always rubbed dry by my own hands, and nerer dried before artificial heat. I use a rotury, massage my fingertips and give myself a scalp treatment as I dry.

.. SENSIBLE FASHION.

Wo might have known it would come, the "Anti-Bobbing Asso- ciation."

Bobbed hair hus really ceased. to be a fad, it has become quite an established thing. Hairdres- sers and milliners have accepted it and have perfected the haircut and have provided hata that fit the shorn head. But no woman has been forcibly sheared.

It would seem as if we might now let the matter rest and allow each woman to follow the dictates of her own conscience. But no, international
