in the continued employment OF women
on jurtes a prospect OF larger fees grow
ing out Of long disagreements in jury
rooms. For 1T is already demonstrated
that with women ON a Jury a case with
a jury of men would probably settle in
al hour, a jury with several in its COM
position will hang out for three days
and then report a disagreement.
To restore split hairs to a more healthy
hair above the place where it is split or
clipped. To cut each hair seems a her
culean task, But It can be simplifed in
this manner:-DIvide the hair into two,
three or four parts, according to it's
thickness; then braid each part as close
ly to the head and as tightly as posi-
bic. Tie each braid an inch or so from
the end with thread or worsted, or with
a small rubber band around it 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
do not extend the full length of the
braid will spring out like the quilts of
a pcrcupine.
With the scissors clip these outstanding
hairs, being careful not to cut the
smooth strands of the braid; then clip
the split ends below where the braid
is fastened. Unless the hair is very
much split and broken you can do the
clipping yourself; but if it is Uneven
and split close to the scalp it will be
better to nave some one else do ii.
The clipping should be done once in
two weeks or oftener until all the split
feel as smooth and soft and fine as tina
which grows close to the scalp.
The handsomer qualities of silk. or, to
speak more correctly, the more expensive
qualities, are being made up for summer
outfits, says "Harper's Bazaar" Poult de
sole is a fashionable material, and comes
in exquisite shades. A maize of corn
color is among the novelties. and when
trimmed with white lace is exceedingly
becoming. 1t used to be thought that
anything approaching yellow should be
exclusively worn by %brunettes, but never

look equally well in tina color. These
heavy silks used to be considered suitable
only for evening wear. but we have now
no fixed laws for material or coloring for
different occasions. Gray is lovely in
poult de sole, and a robbin's-egg blue is
the softest and most delicate thing inn
agin2ble. Lace, embroideries, mousseline
de sole, and chiffon all combine satisfac-
torily with these heavy silks, but black
er be chosen to trim them, although
there are many gowns that nave been
lately made up that have fine black lace
on h solid colors. White against the
soft shading is usually becoming, and
gray made up with white and touches of
yellow gives a beautifully picturesque eff
feet.
Panama hats trimmed with morning
glories, daisies, hawthorn blossoms and
lilacs are among the useful things in
millinery this season, and they are very
pretty with thin gloves. All hats of
whatever style are worn tilted toward
the nose, and many are made; to come
down to the sides well toward the ears.
The effect aimed at is always well down
in front and the more a girl binds up
her neck in stock collars and chiffon
ruffles the smarter she becomes.
The largest kitchen in the world is in
that great Partisan store, the Bon Marche.
which has 1900 employees. The smallest
kettle contains 100 quarts, and the largest
800 Each of the fifty roasting pans is
big enough for 300 outlets. Every dish
for baking potatoes holds 255 pounds.
When omelets are on the bill of fare,
1900 eggs are used at once. For cooking
alone, sixty cooks and 100 assistants are
always at the ranges.

Not even in America are women such
absolute monarchs as in heather Burmah
There in law and custom, woman is on
absolutely the same footing as man. In
spite of this it is claimed no women are
more womanly than the Burmese women,
whose good sense enables them TO per-
ceive the line where they ought to stop.
In the higher classes a woman has pro-
perty of her own and manages it herself.
In the lower classes she always has a
trade and rum her business on her own
responsibility. The sexes choose their own
occupations, and it is curious to see the
men sometimes sewing and embroidering,
while the women lave nearly all the re-
tail trade of the island on their hands.
Just as the men farm their lands the
women run their business. They do not
hire out to others, but trade on their own
account, and with the exception of being
in the silk or clotn business, it does not
interfere with their home life. The bazaar
lasts but three hours each day and the
woman has ample time for her home du-
ties after that is over.
The Burmese woman's home life is to
her the most important thing, and she
could not neglect 1t. Still her business life
has a strong influence on her-it broadens
her views and teaches her things she
could not learn in the narrow confines of
four walls.
After a case of brain fever, some years
ago, a certain woman hair came out SO
badly that she was left with several
perfectly bald places on her scalp. CO.
coanut oil, used faithfully. brought back
the hair in all its old abundance and rich
beauty. Any greasy substance on the
