has no magnetism. Her words are scarce
" convincing and her hospitable glances
are not sufficiently concentrated to be

She cheats a few, but not any one who
is worth deceiving. Returning to the

there is a spiritual cathode ray that

A word about the ribbon collar.
To be quite correct you must always
| tie it yourself. The same rule of the
fitness of things applies here as in the
four-in-hand.
Never take the ribbon plain and sew
it about the stiff collar, fastening the
bow in the back by a hook and eye.
Instead buy one yard and half of rib
bon. Pin the middle of it at the exact
back of the collar. Carry the ends to tbs
front cross them loosely, carry them back
again, and tie in a bow, pulling the loops
and ends even. Be careful not to mash
them fiat; they must stand out as much.
as possible, and don't make the bow
large.
A Cameo or miniature booch pinned
slightly to one side completes the cor
r%ectness of your neck ~adornment.
That the edge of the ribbon quickly
becomes soiled (as light colors are most
desired) the P%arisians, who adopted this
satin stock when President Carnot was
buried. ave now added small tabs OF
r%uchings at, the side. They prevent the
ribbon from soiling as quickly and take
away the stiff effect of the ribbon line
an effect the curve-loving French folk
abhor.
These tabs or ruchings are seen on all
the very new gowns.
However, | saw some other frocks that
had knife plated crepe lisse in there,
and the effect was charming.
Stiffened lace will do just as well and
chiffon is even tolerated.
Volumes have been written about the
care of the roots of the hair and the
scalp, while little has been said about
the other ends. A Psyche knot, a Gre
clan coil. a Roman twist, or any other
couture, ceases to be a thing of beauty
if b~ristling with dry or split hair ends.
With some women the end of the hair
slit in two parts, but with others it di-
vides into so many that the end Of each
hair looks like a miniature paint brush.
In some cases the hairs not only split at
the ends, but several inches further up
fine slivers seem to be Clipped from the
main stem. When hairs are injured in
this way they cease to grow longer.
To restore split hairs to a more healthy
state it is necessary to cut off every hair
above the place where it is split or
Clipped. To cut each hair seems a her
culean task, but it can simplified in this
manner: Divide the hair Into two. three
or four parts. according to its thickness.
then braid each part as closely to the
head and as tightly as possible. Tie each
braid an inch or SO from the end with
thread or worsted. or wind a small rub
Der band around 1t to keep the braid from
loosening.
Hold the end of the braid firmly with
one hand. and with the other rub the
braid the wrong way-that is. toward the
head-and most of the hairs which do not
extend the whole length of the braid will
spring out like the quills of a ~porcupine.
With scissors clip these outstanding
hairs, being careful not to cut the smooth
strands of braid; then clip the splH ends
below where the braid is fastened. Unless
the hair is very much slit and broken
you can do the clipping yourself; but if it
is uneven and split close to the scalp it
will be better to have some else clip it.
This clipping should be done once in two
weeks. or oftener. until all the split ends
nave been cut. Then the hair will feel
as smooth and soft and fine as that which
grows close to the scalp.

matte woman. not SO satisfied with us and
our institutions as her husband declared
himself to be. and had no hesitancy what
ever in making vociferous complaints
upon any matter in which she thought
we could be improved. 1t might be harsh

The average house mistress, when she
goes to buy her Fridays dinner, seldom
fails to inquire If the fish she selects Is
fresh, meaning recently taken from the
water. and is satisfied with her fish deal
er's word for it.. Yet, if she selects had
dock, for instance, it is very probable
that the fish has come all the way from
Vancouver, a seven days journey, at the
least calculation, and it is not likely that
it has been out of the water from five to
seven lays before 1T started. That is
what an honest fish dealer in one of the
big markets says.
And thereby hangs a tale for house
keepers; for, according to the same old
fellow, who has been in the fish trade all
