A NEW COFFCRE.

A NEW CUltf CfE'
For those who refuse to give up the
pretty parting of the hair, the Ma
poleon cue will be permitted. The
parted hair is puffed fully over the
ears and 80 drawn loosely to the back,
where it is braided. The braid is al
lowed to hang we'll on the nape OF the
neck, is then turned under, and a
large "cue" bow is placed just where
it will hold the hair firmly into the
curve of the head. This same bow is
often made so wide that it shows CO.
quettishly from the front at either
side, as did the bows worn little
while ago on collars. For added
dressiness white comb is set at the
top of the braid, and appears over the
top of the head from the front, giving
the effect of height and the jaunty
touch thathas so often been confusing
with the occurrences of the recent
pretty side curls.

The Size of the Moon.

The moon is a comparatively small
world; yet, although three ofJupiter's
and one OF Saturn's moons are much
larger, 1t is, in proportion to its
primary, the largest satellite OF the
solar system. It's diameter is twenty
one hundred and sixty miles, which
means that it would take forty-nine
moons to make globe the size of the
earth. Home Journal.
