However, at the date of our rtorr, j i there dwelt amongst thescexi lusewple i ! t-o h-'gh and mighty persona t to horn i a!l bowed dewn. There were the Smiths. S The Smiths. SmiUi, we all know, is the j name bv ti hich, when AJaai got tired of ' naming the heads of ancient Ciniiiies, he ! christened all the rest in a lumn. j These iiarticuiar Smiths were also named John and Mary, which proves : that Hotufo't inqniry, "WhaCs in a name?" was an opt question, for it made no dUE-mmf, ihi y yf re ctill tlie StnitilSi The first Smith bonght laud. There was not only a grandfather, but a great grandfather's father to be talked of as bavins built just there; and the present Mrs. Smith's relatives were creat peo- pie; and they were rich no one knew how rich. It was the enstom in Opal to wait on- til Mrs. Smith (ode notice of str.mges ! litfore taking thetn up. Ttiat set the seal on their position. When little Mrs. Miller came to Opal l. cause she thought it a pretty place, she i built a house tin-re, and brought her two I little boy and her old servant with her j j she did not know the ways of Ibe place, j ! She was social, and used to bi.-ing liked j 6 r herself. She had been even sought ; after. !

One or two of the Opalites had not eondencended to reply at all, fo though she gueswo-l tley were not coining, ahe had dressed and ordered the tea to be prepared. " I have a fine appetite, and Charlie and Will can get through with a great deal, of cake, she said to her old servant who understood the situation as well a she did.

Mrs. Mil-i ier a.-keM tieixeit as efie repressea ler in- ; clination to laagh. But she felt thai, at least these people were polite, and ohe took the two cards bearing the inscriptions, Mr. John J-uiito," "Mrs. John Smith," which the old people offered her, and returned her own, never guessing that these were The Smiths of Opal, and that her tea would be the talk of the place. At the appointed time they were sum moned. Old Margarvt waited ; the two little boys put oa their company manners. Mrs. Miller was a good hostess.

This treatment mny make the hair look pretty for the time being, but no thought is given as to the ultimate result and the appearance it will present a fL-sr yean hence. The hair should be well brushed every night and morning with a moderately hard brush brashes made with short, un bleached Ikristlcs are the best and on retiring to rest the hair should be drawn back lightly over the ears, plaited in one 1 long plan, annanowdi to i.ang aown ine bai k ; it should not be fastened op with hair piiw, ror aliould any capor covering I., k .,1 v.r j tnakc the hair bright and ghsa. njtli- j out tlie aid of oils or pomades, which are j oe worn oo (ne neau, iiifs nietnoa j t a I . - mi we avoi uHi. me .ewer na.r pins ana ties bscu ia njeswng tae na.r ine oevier; j 1 I..' : - w. 1 Ok. 1 . kT-ltl. 11.11 ikk akSJ .kl j 1.1 HMkkk.
