How to Keep 1t in Proper Order Dur
ing Hot Weather.
From May till October the girl with
naturally curly, wavy hair crow over her
sister with straight locks, for heat and damp
ness are deadly, invincible foes to artificial
curls. The rest Of the year 1t is share and
share alike, for cold, crisp weather makes
the natural curls stiff and straight. There
are a hundred and one inventions and APP
pliances. says Harpers Bazaar, to make the
hair curl and some are remarkably sue
cessful. But the trouble with all is the
same. The results are not lasting, and
sudden shower, any fog, or the thermometer
| going up into the 90s, makes all previous
| toll fruitless 1t may seem a small matter
| to the world at large, but 1t is no small
| matter to the woman concerned, to start out
| looking trim neat and really pretty, and In
| half an hour to be a hideous fright, with
| long lank locks in place Of the coquettish
| trinity arranged ringlets
The only plan that has proved effcacious
| is to wet the hair thoroughly with alco.ol or
| cologne curl 1t while wet, leaving the curls
| uncombed until the hair is thoroughly dried
| Then putting a touch of powder both on
curs and forehead will remove any temporary
| dampness, and the curls will stay in-mys-
| terious saying-for hours. The alcohol dries
| up the natural moisture Of the hair, and the
| curling while wet with the spirit is what
produces the desired results The dash of
powder is so slight as not to show and gives
| an additional dryness. The curls must be
Gurled with hot tongs; there is no use in
using the patent curriers' for this purpose.
The waved effect which has been so fashion
| able for the side locks comes under this same
rule, and 1t is surprising how long the waves
| remain wavy even on the hottest day, and,
best of all, how natural they look.
Constant curling and waving with hot irons
is bound to be prejudicial to fine hair, but
much damage can be prevented by being
careful not to use the irons II they are in

the least rough. A perfectly smooth, evenly
heated iron, not hot enough to burn the
hair, will do no harm, and the roughness
that cuts can easily be discerned, and con-
sequently guarded against. II is a good plan
II one is in the habit Of constantly curling
the hair with irons to take vacation for a
month or six weeks, and during that time
wear ones hair quite smooth.
good way to make the hair look nat
urally wavy across the top of the head is to
wet the front locks very thoroughly before

and when taken of in the morning makes a
most natural and becoming wave. much more
graceful than can be produced by even the
broadest iron.
The various washes which are sold to make
the hair curl have all a tendency to fade It.
Even alcohol and cologne have the same fault
but In modified degree, SO that II is as well
to examine very thoroughly anything OF the
sort. Washing twice a week with pure soap
and warm water will keep the front and side
locks In good order, and will do away with
any injurious effect Of the alcohol used every
day.

front hair. are necessary parts Of every wo-

GRACIOUS GOWN.
One very fetching evening gown, caught en-

about the wonder whether. in some misty
future day, these dainty hip draperies were
coming back to ravish and t5rment us. The
gown, plain, flared skirt and low bodice, was
made entirely Of pompadour brocade in ''Tri-
anon" pink, sweet, dim hue, like that OF the
painted ribbons which sometimes garland old
French ceilings.

SIMPLE STATELINESS.
In direct contrast to the pedigreed sugges-
tion OF this lowered toilet was an evening
costume in ivory satin. The train and
sleeves OF this gown were all in one piece,
being formed by a great Watteau plait that,
after slipping through a square buckle, d.
vded at the shoulder blades. the two ends
draping the back and then looping low over
the arms in short 1880 puffs. The bag front
OF the low bodice was Of white gauZe, pearl
embroidered, and two tiny straps of the pearl
beading alone kept It on the shoulders. The
princess effect Of the back is declared one Of
the latest French methods for the evening
draping of figures moulded on too short and
too generous lines. Young, delicate shoulders
would look very pretty, Of course, peeping
between the shoulder straps and low hung
sleeves.
But Randwitz. its creator, had fashioned
the gown for a fat young person-who. some
how, one felt confident had no ancestors at
all.

THE AMY OF THE KING.

Written for The Rec.
There's an army in the field,
Hear the sound!
See the thousand swords they WELD
And the ground
Trembles with their mighty tread,
Flashes now each golden head.
Bound about with si.ken thread,
They are crowned!
Who are these that silent come,
Thousands strong?
Swift, with neither life nor drum,
Nor with song
Do they come in war or peace,
To bring havoc or increase
Right or wrong?
'Tis the army of the King,
Sovereign Corn,
To the needy minist'ring,
The forlorn
Bringing bread and meat, and wine,
That the starving souls may dine,
That the haggard face may shine
Like the morn.
Open every psrched throat,
Give cheer
That shall echo on and float
TIL the ear
OF the Giver of the grain,
OF the sun and of the rain,
Shall drink in the blessed strain
Loud and clear.
