LATEST STYLE IN HAIR
. DKtSSINQ JLST FROM PARIS
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Girls, do you want to look as
though you had Just stopped out of
Paris?
But, of course, you do, for Paris is
the Mecca of fashions, as every worn
' an knows, and what woman does not
like to look smart and up to date?
Here Is one way la which you can
look very Parisian, and all It will cost
ou will be the price of two yards of
,' Inch-wide blue satin ribbon. The
Side View of Ribbon Coiffure.
accompanying cuts show the newest
way to wear the hair and the newest
tyle of decoration.
I know all about it.becauBe a friend
Ct mine, who has a great deal of
" money to spend on pretty clothes, ar
rived from Paris this week and told
jae all about it.
"Dear me," she said, looking at me
critically, "if you want to be up to
. date you must dress your hair this
way and you must wear a blue ribbon
in It," and she turned her own head,
Which had been dressed by a French
maid, about for my inspection.

parted or pompadour, whichever style
yon prefer, but in the back It must
be worn In a braid, as shown in the
cut.
Cut your ribbon In two pieces, one
long, the other short.
Thread the long piece through the
braid, leaving about eight Inches
aticking out at each eud. -,
Then take the short piece and put
It straight across or in and out of
the front hair and tie it at both sides
to the back ribbon, making a smart
little bow at either side.
Of course, it is not necessary that
the ribbon be blue, but blue is the
color most chosen by the French las
ales. The blue ribbons peeping out from
tinder an all-black hat are very fetch

HAUGHTY GIRLS NOT POPULAR.
Some really pretty girls are so fool
ish because they will persist in "hid
ing their light under a bushel," or, In
other words, stowing away their
charms under cover of a ridiculously
haughty manner. When any one ad
dresses a girl of this type she imme
diately raises her eyebrows, shrugs
her shoulders and replies languidly:
,. "Oh, do you think bo? I don't
agree at all."
Somehow you don't feel like talk
ing to her any more, and you make
an excuse and get away. Tet, strange
to say, she still continues In the same
fashion until one by one, her ac
quaintances drop ' away from her.
That girl doesn't seem to understand
that it Is her manner which Is causing
her the loss of her best friends. Af
ter all, it is the unaffected, simple
girl, who conquers In this world of
oum, who is always ready with a
bright, cheering 'fcmlle, and to whom
you can confide your most treasured
secrets, being sure of receiving a
whole-hearted sympathy. In sorrow
or Toy, In sickness or trouble, she Is
ready with a helping hand and a
cheerful word to lessen the pain and
bring home and happiness back to the
aching heart.
Perhaps it 1b that the "haughty
girl" believes her manner Is "taking."
Let me correct that error before It
goes any further. A man prefers a
girl with whom he can talk naturally
and slly, feeling that she Is listen
ing aM enjoying what he has to say,
and not staring into the far distance
with arched eyebrows and an expres
THEIR W0RK,W
sion which plainly says to hlnv "I
wlBh you would go away; you are bor
ing me to death," even If she la far
from thinking it. It Isn't compli
mentary to the man, to say the least.
Men do not In the least appreciate
a girl who Is merely trying to look In
terested. Appearances in this case
do not deceive. No girl, however
clever, can decelvg a listener into be
lieving that she Is deeply absorbed In
hearing his troubles when actually
she Is totally disregarding all he says.
The haughty girl may think it be
neath her dignity to render first aid
to wounded hearts, but by adopting
an attitude of boredom she loses man's
respect. Men love their friends of
the opposite sex to take an Interest In
them. They look for sympathy
nay, more, expect it and they value
it when given.
So don't be haughty, whatever else
you may be. It doesn't pay, and In
the end you will be disliked and
shunned by all your friends as a girl
who Is hard to please.
But if you do happen to be one ot
this sort, try smiling a little and look
ing Interested, even when your com
panion is as "dull as ditch water,"
and after a little while you will find
It will become a second nature to you,
and the friends you have lost will
quickly return, remarking to each
other:
"How that girl has improved!"

JAP GIRL'S HOLIDAY TOILET.
The Japanese college girl enter
tained the fudge party with Oriental
reminiscences.
"On every holiday," she said, "the
Japanese maiden must rise and have
her toilet finished before the sun
looks over Fujiyama, our national sa
cred mountain.
"And what a toilet! The long,
coarse black tresses are washed,
combed and greased till the head
shines like a knob of polished black
marble. The cheeks are roughed a
fine pink. The throat, neck and
bosom are powdered, but at the nape
of the neck there are left three lines
of the original brown skin, in accord
ance with the rules of our cosmetic
art.
"With charcoal she rounds and
lengthens her eyebrows. She red
dens her lips with cherry paste, add
ing a gilt diamond to the centre of
the pouting lowei lip. She puts on
eight fresh garments, and she ties her
obi, or great sash, in a symbolical
knot. Her socks she doesn't wear
stockings are very white and pure,
and her clogs are lacquered till they
shine like a silk hat.
"Now she is ready to set out. She
fills her silk tobacco pouch, thrusts
her pipe in her girdle, puts six paper
handkerchiefs up her wide sleeve and
sallies forth, turning her toes in and
waving her fan." Philadelphia Bul
letin. ARTISTS' MODELS.
The artist's model is a much mis
understood person especially the fe
male model, who, so far from being a
lady of questionable character, as Is
bo uncharitably thought by many, is
almost uniformly highly respectable
and self respecting, and a model ot
industry and clean living, as well as
of art. Just impress that fact on your
readers, and you will only do bare
justice to a most deserving class of
workers. Tit-Bits':

Two or three waistcoats are not
unusual on an up-to-date coat.
Embroideries of silver combine ex
cellently with Copenhagen blue.
Bands of dotted material, cloth or
silk, effectively trim gowns of plain
cloth.
A tall woman may wear a large all
black hat, whether she be stout or
thin.
The exquisite chiffon broadcloths
can be obtained in the soft pastel
shades.
Paris decrees long, slender hips,
mall waist and medium high bust
and long back.
Huge, iridescent buckles in which
gold and green predominate, are used
on millinery:
Some of the cloths show chevron
stripes of color, alternating with
straight ones.
It will be a season of velvets and
high Class corduroy velveteens of the
chiffon make.
If you can add a little lace without
marring the shape of your jabots you
will be keeping up with the times. .
Alternate gores of straight and
bias material make trimming unnec
essary on skirts of striped suitings.
Persian borders on motoring scarfs
(with a black edge and stitehing) are
noted among the stock of a large New
York house.
Nov and then one of the new
waists is made with long, shaped and
closely fitting cuffs of lace below a
very short puffed sleeve.
Wide pleats over the shoulders,
tapering toward the waist line, give

New York City. The plain tail
ored waist never goes out of style.
It may be varied from one season to
another, but essentially It remains
much the same and Is always a favor
ite. This one Includes the very latest
features with the pleats at the shoul
ers, which conceal the armhole seams
and Is altogether to be desired for
every seasonable waisting. In the
Illustration It Is made of white ma
dras, but It Is just as desirable for
flannel and for silk as It is for' cotton
and linen materials. It can be made
with the long regulation sleeves Il
lustrated or with three-quarter ones
that are finished with bands as liked.
The lines given by the pleats at the
back are peculiarly desirable, while
there Is just enough fulness at the
front to be becoming and to conform
with the latest demands of fashion. .
The waist is made with fronts and
back. It Is finished with the regula
tion box pleat and with tucks at each
side- thereof, and the pleats at the
shoulders are laid after the seams are
closed. There is a patch pocket that
U convenient at the same time that
It gives a smart touch, and the
sleeves are gathered at their lower
edges, whether they are long and
finished with the wide cuffs or short
er and finished with narrow bands.
The neckband finishes the neck.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
three-quarter yards twenty-one, three
and five-eighth yards twenty-seven or
two and one-eighth yards forty-four
Inches wide.
' The Tunic Coming.
It Is more than probable thr
vhat 1
will succeed the present type of toil
ette will In some form or other be the

Wedding Gown Materials.
Nine out of ten fashionable wed
ding gowns this season have been of
satin or of a glossy surfaced silk of
one kind or another. The rich satin
princess, which falls In the loveliest
folds, has been preferred.
Tight-Fitting Coats.
The tight-fitting coats are by far
the smartest, and the striped, rather
than the plain' materials, more popular.
Decorative Hut Pins.
Fashionable women are at present
giving their spare moments to form
lug and decorating hatpins.
I'illow Muff, Scurf and Tie.
There are so many materials from
which scarfs and muffs can be made
this year that such a suggestion as
this one has peculiarly practlral value
at this time. Not alone Is it easy to
remodel the furs of last season, there
are also a great many fur cloths be
ing used for accessories of the sort,
while again they are very charming
and attractive made from velvet and
lace and chiffon trimmed. Vhese de
signs are among the simplest as well
as the best, and Involve no difficulties
whatsoever In the making yet are ex
ceedingly smart In effect. The muff
Is of the big, roomy, pillow sort that
Is so thoroughly comfortable and that
can be drawn up by means of the
ribbons or left plain, as liked. The
scarf Is long and comfortable, while
the little tie fits about the throat in
an exceedingly chic manner. In this
Instance the muff and the scarf are
made of black lynx fur, while the tie
and the second muff are made of
broadtail plush.
The scarf and the tie are eaoh
made In two pieces, joined at the
back, and are designed to be lined
with silk and Interlined with soft
wadding. The muff, is made In one
big piece with a lining that 1b a little
smaller, so allowing lta edges to turn
under at the ends. It also Is designed
to be interlined with wool wadding,
and is supplied with strips of ribbon
attached to the lining, which act as
casings, under which the loops are
slipped.
The quantity of material required
is, for the scarf and muff, two and
seven-eighth yards twenty-one, one
and one-eighth yards forty-four or
fifty inches wide: for the tie and
muff one and three-quarter yards
twenty-one, three-quarter yards forty
four or fifty Inches wide.
Velvet For Trimming.
The vogue of velvet as an access
ory tramming Is emphasized not only
in the girdles, collars and cuffs, but
also In the bias neckties which are
worn over the lace chemisettes.
Velvet Costumes Elegant.
Velvet costumes are perhaps more
severe than anything elae, ahd yet
with all the trimming and fancy fin
ishes, the dignified, elegant effect la
removed.
LOW-DOWN WAGON.
It you are not using a low-down
wcon, you are doing a whole lot of
unnecessary lifting. For hauling fod
der or corn for the slio, the low
down wagon fits exactly. It Is good,
too, for hauling out manure, if you
do not have a spreader. Farmers'
Home Journal.
INSECTS COST MILLIONS.
President William Dutcher, of the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties, In a recent address delivered
in the Museum of Natural History In
New York City said: "If a million
or more dollars are lost through the
mismanagement of a bank or other
fiduciary institution, it creates a wave
of protest throughout the entire coun
try; yet a loss estimated by the Gov
ernment experts at $800,000,000 an
nually equal to the entire capitaliza
tion of the national banks of the
country through Insects and rodent
pests, creates no comment whatever,
simply because the public does not
realize what Is going on."
SHEEP PROFITABLE.
Professor F. B. Mumford, of the
Missouri Station, in giving a sum
mary of the work, done In feeding
sheep, showed that sheep produced
more meat from a pound of grain
than any other farm animal. It was
shown that a pound ot mutton can be
produced from about halt as much
grain as a pound ot beef. Even the
mortgage-lifting hog requires more
grain to produce a pound ot human
food than the sheep. WUh the com
bination of corn and clover hay for
food, and dry shed for shelter, sheep
will always give good account of
themselves and respond readily to the
care given them. Weekly Witness,

There is a large demand In all
cities for Camembert cheese, and as
It brings a high price, its manufac
ture is recommended, under certain
conditions, by the Department of Ag
riculture. At present, practically all
ot this cheese is Imported. ' A few
years ago Secretary Wilson Inquired
Into the question of Its possible man
ufacture in this country, in further
ance of his policy of making every
thing possible at home, and he con
cluded that there was no reason why
we should not make at least all the
Camembert cheese that we consumed,
and thus keep our money among our
own people. So experiments were be
gun about three years ago in co-operation
with the Connecticut Experi
ment Station, which have proven en
tirely successful. The present status
of the matter is that this cheese pro
duced li America, considered in
every respect equal to the Imported
article, is now being manufactured
at the Storrs Station and the Govern
ment Is ready to assist factories and
Individuals In going Into the business.
The station has already Issued a bul
letin describing the equipment neces
sary and giving detailed directions
for making this type ot cheese.
