Fashion Notes..

Everything that is made now is
fashioned with view to its utility
or beauty for outdoor wear.
In the way of wraps there are as
many kinds as there are women, so
that everything is in style in wraps,
and, if one lady happens to have one
that Is not exactly what others have
on, that very garment would be
singled out by the rest as especially
fine. Nearly every one carries
somewhere a small wrap, to put on
in case of need, but most persons
prefer to go without one on warm
days. For them a pretty f1chu cape
is a precious adjunct.

gowns, and that is nice, big, rOOmy

Hints on Hairdressing.

Fluffy bangs, and even the
coquettlsh waves that so .graciously
conceal the imperfections of an ugly
forehead, are, as well as the girl
that wears them, out of date. The
mannish girl is at the height of the
fashion, and she is astounding thou
sands of her primmer sisters by
parting her hair at the side. Abso-
lutte severity and simplicity is the
motto of the new hairdressing.
Twist or coil or braid or do what
ever you will with your back hair,
so long as the result is modest and
inconspicuous, but under no circum-
stances must you venture to impart
feminine curl to the front locks.
The new fashion may not be posi-
lively becoming to those who are
afflicted with straight locks, but,
when the hair has a natural wave,
the effect is rather graceful.

Whenever you find yourself at
outs with all your acquaintance
and friends, it is time for you to
consider whether there is not some
thing radically wrong in your own

The Head and Hair,

Amonia should be used in washing
white or gray hair instead of boraX,
which has tendency to give the
hair a yellowish tinge and is also too
drying. When the hair. begins to
fail, and approved hair tonics anu
brushing have little effect, to
thoroughly massage the scalp is
often beneficial, as it stimulates the
circulation and also raises the hair
on the head and gives it a heavy APP
pearance. The massage should be
given with the palm of the hand and
finger tips; but the nails should not
touch The scalp.

Children's Colds.

A great many children's diseases
are preceded by the symptoms of a
cold. When these are accompanied
by signs Of rash, however slight, a

Lord Salisbury's speech of Friday
announcing his substantial back
down on tho Venezuelan ques
ton, was even more astounding
in its treatment of the Armenian mat
ter and its confession of British impc-
tencc, loneliness and fricndlessncss.
He admitted practically that Great
Britain dare not interfere in Turkey
alone and that il was useless to eX-
pect any other power To- join with her
in such interference. He even went
farther, and minated that other pow
ers he did not hint what and how
many would stand in the way of Brit
ish interference and fight to prevent it.
So there was noting to do but leave
the Armenians to the mercy of the
Sultan, whom Salisbury does not be
licye to have instigated the massacres
The speech was really an avowal of
national humiliation such as no British
statesman ever before made, and though
Salisbury argued at length to show
that England was only obligated to ex-
ert moral force for the protection
of the Armcnians, it does not deceive
anybody who remembers the Berlin
treaty, England S responsibility for it
and what was regarded as the greatest
triumph of Desrael's career in getting
it through. Salisbury's plea of inn
potence is simply throwing the whole
thing into Russia's hands, and the
existence Of IA treaty of alliance be-
tween the Gar and Sultan is accepted
now as an accomplished fact in all !
the diplomatic circles of Europe. |
S speech indicates that he is |
of it and recognizes that he
cant help it. though United Press
despatch says that Russia offers as a
sop to England to allow her to pur-
chase outright Cyprus which she
now administers. But there are signs
Of serious trouble in Macedonia in the
