LATEST STYLE IN HAIR-DREssING.
A lady writes to inquire about " the
latest style in Embarrassing for the summer
season." 1t is quite impossible 10 give any
special or set style as the prevailing one, for
the reason that no one style obtains. Some
wear the high Josephine coronet or the
broad Lean braid wound completely
around the head in an unbroken circle
For full-dress occasions many fashionable
women have adopted the japanese couture,
which admits of a number of costly gem
set pins run through the high coils of hair.
The mania for short cropped heads OF hair
still obtains, but nine out of every ten of
those who sacrifice their tresses to the Mo
loch Of fashion regret it keenly in very
few weeks. The next French twist, with
three Fights arranged about IT, is a stylish
couture, as popular as ever. The p" Gaia
gon " braid is not " dressy," nor is 1t be-
coming to many faces, and the attempt to
brush the hair directly OF the forhead was
not a fashionable success. Soft rings of
hair clustered about the brow, curly bangs
falling naturally, and fluffy halos all adorn
the crown of the head. The nest style y
in hair-dressing to adopt and cling TO- in
spite of the varied idioSyncrasieS of the hair
dresser, is the one which proves the most
becoming The low Grecian coil is popu-
lar, and will be adopted and adhered to by
sensible women who find this special style
alone becoming to the shape OF their heads
and the cut of their features.-N. ]. Eeen-

TACT IN BABY MANAGEMENT.
The way to keep the baby from becoming
" spoilt is to let it cry as little as possible.
II will gain strength of mind to endure its
necessary i'll all the sooner if it is allowed
to suffer as little as possible from ills that
can be avoided. lis wants should be an
ticipated, its sources of discomfort should
be removed as they arise, without waiting
for it to cry it should be prevented in
every way from forming the habit OF cry
ing. Study its expression; when ii is tired
of PLAYING on the floor take itup and dance
it about the room, and let itlook out of the
window for few minutes. In little
while it will be glad TO go back and play on

TO discipline, be careful TO seize the right
moment for it. If you want the baby TO
learn TO go to sleep without being rocked,
choose day when it has been unusually
bright and happy all the morning, wait
until twenty minutes or so after the regular
hour for its nap, then give it a cup of milk
particularly sweet and warm and nice,
make its little bed soft and coZy, clay 1t
down gently and soothe it with little kiss
ing and patting, and, if ii is not already too
much spoilt, it will only be too happy to
close its eyes in the sweetest kind of sleep.
If it does not. its fits of crying will be al
most always as brief and as little injurious
as it can be.-BabyhoOd.
PREPARATION OF STRAWBERRIES.
1t is hardly in the power of a poor cook
or unskillful housewife to make an unreiish-
able dish out of strawberries, yet there is a
right and wrong way to treat the best OF
good things, and this is true of the delicious
strawberry. Now is the canning season
with them, and the best method of canning
is as follows: To one pound of fruit add
one-third of pound of sugar; boil fifteen
minutes; have your glass jars ready, I'LL,
wipe the moisture from the top, fasten
down, and, before putting away, give all
final screw down.

ries in q jar, layer in the bottom first
with cinnamon and cloves scattered over
them; then put another layer or berries,
and continue in this way until the jar Is
nearly full then pour over them Q syrup
made of two cups of vinegar and about
three cups of sugar; heat this to the boil
ing point and then pour it into the jar.
Let it stand from one morning until the
next then pour berries and syrup into q
preserving kettle and let them boil slowly
for nearly half an hour. If YOU be care
full to let them cook slowly and do not
break them when stirring the berries will
keep their shape perfectly. If canned they
are sure to be fresh and delicious when
wanted.
For making strawberry cream take three
pints of strawberries mashed fine; strain
the Juice and add heaping cup of sugar,
and then gelatine soaked and dissolved in
a teacup of boiling water. Add a pint OF
whipped cream and pour into moids.

The custom of brides wearing orange
blossoms was derived from the Saracens,
among whom the orange blossom was re-
garded as symbol of a prosperous mar
riage, q circumstance which is partly to be
accounted for by the fact that in the east
the orange tree bears ripe fruit and bios
