The fashion of cropping the hair is fast

est head Of hair in about five mill
utes, but the ultra. fashionable victim who
is thus shorn must remember that it will take
five years to get those shining waves back
again. The hair lying in looss, fluffy rings all
over the head is u pretty sight, but when one
has become tired of it and decides to let the
hair grow long again, the transition state is
anything but agreeable. when tho locks grow
to about the length Of eight inches and hang

short to braid Or put up in any mafiner, and
too long to arrange in "montagues" or fluffy
halos about the face. Ladies who cling to
their luxuriant tresses, while looking, per-

that they have made a hnir-breadth escape
from much annoyance and, perhaps, from
the loss Of considerable temper.

Parasols are already seen on our fashion

the feminine heart with displays of these
goods in the new shapes and materials. A
noticeable change in the shape Of many kinds
are the deep points or scallops. Last year
the parasol brim presented almost a circle,
but this year the points are quite decided
The natural stick is still the favorite, al
though it is carved in various designs, and
twisted into snakes, horseshoes, scythes and
other devices.
Alpine parasols may be turned into noun
tain staffs by touching spring in the short
handle, when an inside handle comes out
Other Alpine parasols have as much stick
above the top as below it, and when closed it
is of sufficient length for staff.
Horseshoe handles are young ladies' favor
ties, as the rarasol can then be carried de-
pending from the wrist.
The square parasol is novelty and is
destined to become very popular.

Indulgence to Servants.

[Cor. Christian Union.
Said a young housekeeper II began my
married life with the idea, not Of demanding
thorough work for good wages, but of being
kind was always saving my servants
back at the expense Of my own and the com
fort OF my family. But once, Oh going to
the speakng.tube to give an order, heard
the cook laughing at my expense because
had tamely submitted to butter toast which
she had forgotten to butter l had eaten it
IN silence for fear she should think mo fussy,'
and the contempt of the woman was what
deserved for my own cowardice."
The average Irish girl knows very well
how she should be treated in such cases. She
respects the mistress who, while She never
scolds in loud voice or gives her orders in 4
harsh, domineering tone, is not afraid to re-
buke her, who never jokes or condescends to
tho least familiarity, and commands with
ou:et f"mness and looks to see il her com.
n, Q are obeyed.
An admin aLle housekeeper, who requires
more from her servants than most ladies, and
yet they stay with her for years. says that the
golden rule is "never to help servant to do
her regular work"
For myself, my aSonies with servants have
ceased since have become strict and given
up being ndulgent and "easy." They not
only stay longer and do my work better but
like and respect ME more, or act as If they
did, which is quite as much to the purpose.
Once used to look about my kitchen on tip

was ont, for fear of hurting her feelings

If a servant objects to your "lookng we'll to

Another good rule is never to let her feel

wear their hair in short rings all over the

So long as housekeeping remains In its
present chaotic condition; So long as servant
galsIn is the chief topic Of conversation; SO
long as the woman VINO tolls Is consider ed
inferior to the woman who dresses and does
nothing; so long as two codes of morals are
tolerated, one dnnning the woman and the
other uphoding the man; SO long as emotion
is cultivated at the expense of reason, women
will, as rule, be radically inferior to men.
No pure, noble wonlanhood can come from

Therefore this republic had better look to its
