Recently. in fact up TO the beginning
OF the year. one could look over any as
~semblage OF women and see that with
out exception every one of them-old as
well as young-wore their hair parted in
the middle and drawn back on each side.
Now In a crowd of women one viii see
here. there and everywhere, women with
their tresses arranged a la P~ompadour-
that Is, with the front brushed straight
back, but soft and loose enough to allow
1t to stand up two inches above the fore
head, says the Philadelphia Press"
The hair is waved or not, as the wearer
prefers, but rs almost invariably finished
with sort curls CIR locks at each side just
above the temples.
Fashion Is a tickle goddess, and just
wwhat causes the changes in her man
dates or from that they emanate it is
hard to tell. In, this instance what a
caused this change no one can tell. 1t
has been rumored for some time. but
tha& 1t is now an accomplished fact can
be seen by a mere glance at hat mirror
of fashion. Chestnut street. The new
couture is named for a famous beauty of
the court of Lou XIV. of France, Mar
quise de ~Pompadour. and was largely
the style of head-dress of the women of
the eighteenth century.
The style is so very new here that the
old part Is still stubborn in many girls
hair and WIN not down, but care and
much brushing will be found to obviate
this in a short time. Don't use a roll or
pad, but by brushing make the hair soft
and light enough to stand up of itself.
If your hair Is naturally heavy and dis
posed to break apart wash it in a little
warm borax water about once a week.
Dress the back of the hair in an eight as
IN ogu some time ago, but a little low
er on the crown of the head or quite
low on the back.
Side combs win be as much used as
ever and will be found very useful put
in with the teeth toward the front to
give the desired soft effect. New combs
called P~ompadour combs, are made only
in tortoise shell, ana on account of their
novelty and desirabihty are held very
high in price as yet. but they will be
found to be quite ornamental and adj
mirably fitted for the use for which they
are designed.
We have had the Gibson girl, the Du
Maurier girl, the summer girl, the sweater
girl. and now we have the Pompadour
girl. May she live long and prosper"

Have you a headache? No; this is not
the beginning of a patent medicine ad.
but a clever physician says that enemy
of womankind that goes under the name
OF headache is of many varieties, and
requires mar kinds of treatment.
That to- attempt to Danish all varieties
of headache by a single cure shows a
child-lilke faith in medicine but very lit
tie common sense.
That the first step towards curing a
headache is to find out which kind of
ono it is, and then to devote ones ener-
gies to driving it away.
That the headache which results from
Indigestion is of frequent occurrence, and
it implies ~over-eating or unwise eating,
and that when a woman finds herself af-
flicted with such a headache she should
proceed to cure it by fasting and sitting
with her feet in hot water for a few mo-
ments before going to bed
That a great many mysterious head
aches have their origin in overstrained
eyes. This kind is cured only by giving
.e eyes a vacation or by the oculist.
81 course, care in the use of the eyes
also a help. Reading, writing or sew
ing IN a dim or Pickering light must be
given up. The common practice of try
ing to read IN jofting trains must also
be discarded. The eyes must never be
used too long at a time, and when there
is much eye work to be done brief rests
and bathings in hot water will ward off
the dreaded headache.
Thai the headache which is the result
of exposure to colds or draughts or sud-
den changes is best treated by hot APP
plicatsons. hot water bags and gentle
friction of the place of pain. If this
does not Danish the headache in a day
then a deeper illness is indicated.
Thai the best way to treat headaches
Is to avoid them. To refuse to overtax
the eyes, the nerves or the stomach, n
to give attention to exercise and bath
ing.

Pianofortes should lot be kept open, for
dust is just as Injurious as dampness, and
in fact, the air is always an enemy to
the great mass of sensitive springs-the
nerves Of the instrument.
1t should be placed in a dry room,
quite away from possible draughts and
not too near a fire. Heat not only tends
to warp and crack the case, which, be-
ing highly infammable. Is apt to ignite,
but any increase or decrease of tempera-
ture affects the strings and brings them
out of tune, exactly as does excessive
dryness or excessive moisture.
An upright piano sounds better If
placed about two inches from the wall,
and sometimes it is an improvement if
1t is allowed to rest upon glass blocks.
A grand piano should stand with its
curved side to the room, and its plain
side next to the wall. Nothing should
be placed ON the pianoforte. No musical
people ever put vases and ornaments and
books upon the shrine of music, for they
rattle, absorb the sound, deaden the tone
and worry the performer. The case and
tho keyboard shuld be kept free from
dust.
To make the polish shine, rub the wood
with a soft and old silk handkerchief,
and to clean a pianoforte use warm wa
ten. soap and a flannel rag. Wet the
latter, rub it on the soap and apply it to
