No More Bangs.

is rumored that bangs are surely
going out of fashion this spring, ,and that
the hair will be worn brushed plainly
back from the forehead While bangs
are not necessary for women who possess
low, pretty foreheads, they are an abso-
lutte necessity for women who possess
high, ugly forehcads. There can be no
denying the fact that when the hair is ar
ranged prettiiy and becomingly over the
forehead, it greatly softens the outlines
of the face and lends an additional charm
to it. 1t is all nonsense for people to say
that the most sensible women wear their
hair brushed smoothly back from their
brOws. The most sensible women are
those who know what is becoming to
them. If they look well with their hair
banged or curled, they wear it so; if they
do not, they fail to follow the prevailing
fashion, and dress their hail plainly
The Grecian coil has gone entirely out of
fashion except for street wear. 1t is
almost impossible to wear the hair on the
top of ones head with the fashionable
hat of the period. Very few ornaments
are worn in the hair. Those that are
worn are mostly silver or amber hairpins.

The following simple precautions il
strictly followed would prevent great
many destructive fires The rules might
be posted in ever store, dwelling and fac
tory with good results:

Il lamp either III lifting or setting down
3. Never place a lamp on the edge of
Il table or mantel.

5. See that the lamp wicks are always
clean and that they work freely in the
tube.
6. Never blow out lamp from the top.
7. Never take a lamp to closct where
there are clothes. If necessary ito go to
a closet, place the light at distance.
8. Use candles just as much as possible
in going about the house and in bed
rooms. They are cheaper, can't explode,
and for very many purposes are Flst as
good as lamps.
8. Matches should always be. kept in
earthcn jars or tin boxes.
