Fashionable hair is red. For time in
dications seemed to point toward black as
favorite color. But red still leads in favorit-
ism. Very clever hair-dressers can now
assume the brIlliaucy and lustre formerly
seen only in natural hair. But the dyed
article can now be made almost as pretty.
Next to the brilliant red which leads in
fashion, comes the pure gold, then there is
the black-not half black, but jet black,
glossy, shining and lmoSt blue in its in
tensity. The nondescript brown that
stamps its owner as being neither blonde
or brunette is far from fashionable. And
what is worse it does not take dyes nicely.
Hair-dressers say that the dark brown
shades are the hardest in the world to make
into any other color but that which they
are. The hair is worn waved in every shade
but black. Experts say that black hair
should be worn perfectly smooth, except for
a curly bang, and that 1t should be brushed
until it shines in every inch OF its length. 1t

braids and pinned closely around the girls

The naughty little frauds of girls have

men who fit about them like moths about
flame With all the gravity conceivable
| they affect shyness, answer in mono
syllables and refuse all offers of candy aud
flowers. Upon being asked the reason of
this coyness and GOODNESS they blush, STAN
mer and are finally led to confess the reason
| of their thusness.
It is this. Some one has told me that
mans character must be judged by GER
| tain page IN a certain mystic little book.
| The page for each particular victim ls 1ndl-
| Gated by the day of the month for which
his birthday falls. 1t is like birthday
book, only it is a little more searching,
cruel and hard-hearted. Nice things are
| rare, wise things are never found, hints OF
caution and cruel suggestions predominant.
| The little book mas thirty-one pages. The
leaves are of rough paper with uncut edges.
| The outside is yellow as If with age. The
whole get up is mysterious and awful, and
| to the young man about to learn his tate
that book seems as fraught with potency as
did the seven books of the sooth sayers Of

How can you ask me Co talk with you
| and be friendly with you and smile upon
you until know your true character" asks
Miss Fairgirl, with a grieved pout. Per
haps YOU are bad man. But do not be
! discouraged until you really know what
sort of man YOU are My book will tell
| exactly" she adds, brightly; II Will get IL,
and then shall know whether | may talk
with you or not"
Getting the book she turns to the one
awaiting his fate, and calmly asks the date
of his birth. Breathlessly he gives 1t, and
then, with great solemnity, she turns 10 the
page. 1t is the 18th, and underneath it she
| reads:
"BeUare ofthe man NTH honeyed words.
Deceit sets upon his eyebrows and IN the
curl ofhi m1,Stdche there is guile. Put
not uour trust in princes nor IN the sons OF
the -Four Hundred"
That settled the young mans fate he
has looked into the book Of knowledge and
it has told him that he is not to be trusted.
No more can that young woman smile upon
him, no more can she devour bis chocolates.
No more can she lift bonbons from the bon
bonneire with the gold tougs which his
bounty has provided. No more can she
sniff the flowers which have bloomed this
spring, ira >la-aud which be has borne to
her side. No more can this fair Hebe give
the nectar of life-tea-to Hercules at
o'clock teas. 1t is all over unless she dare:
to defy the fates and furies for his sake.
Defying them she knows that campaign tizz,
even though it be Of the loveliest brand viii

asps may DO expected to Turk in the bou
