GRAY HAIR STYLISH.

fSUnE Women Now Seem to Admire
t;ie silver Threads.
Silver threads among the gold" is
the latest fad among young women who
wish to appear intellectual and thought
full. Wig-maliers will deny it, but the
fact remains that there is an alarming
prevalence of girls with gray hair on
their temples, From time immemorial
it has been the habit of the fair sex to
weed the gray hairs carefully from
their heads. One swallow cannot make
q spring, but it is well-known fact
that ten gray hairs will make years
difference in woman's age. This is
why III former times they pulled them
out so carefully.
Times have changed. however, and it
is the fashion just now to appear very
metaphysical and very philosophical,
ard with just dash of the "ologies'
thrown In. 1t certainly gives young
woman an air OF something above the
average giggling and gum chewing
matinee girl.
If yon want to simulate the prop
CT thing. just go to the wigmaIler's and
give him just n small wisp of your hair,
with Instructions to match it in sha,!e
of gray in a small toupse affair, to be
worn after the fashion of false bangs.
Then train the gray hairs carefully
through your own locks, and there you
arc.

A PERNlCiOUS HABIT.
How to Stop Children from Sackin
Fingers and Thumbs.

How to Stop Children from Sucking
Fingers and Thumbs.
The habit of sucking the thumb
among children is one probably of very
ancient origin. 1t may have descend
ed from our simian ancestors, although
no observations bearing upon this point
SO far seem to have been made. An
other explanation of the habit may be
that the pressure of the thumb in the
child's mouth causes some relief dur
ing the period of dentition. and thus
helps to allay the irritation present in
the gums. But whatever the cause
may be, the habit is incidentally a bad
one, and when persistently and extern
siveiy practiced calls for correction.
Many devices, of course, have from
time to time been introduced with this
end in view. Some have proved sue
cessful; on the other hand, OCCASION
ally all have ended in failure. A med
zeal man relates in the Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal how difficulty
of this nature was successfully sur
mounted in the following way: For
two years every available plan for stop
ping the habit had been tried on little
girl Of fra years of age, but without
any satisfactory result, Accordingly
the practitioner proceeded to immob-
ilize the elbows of the child at a very
obtuse angle. A silicate of potash ban
dage was applied to each arm, reaching
nearly from the shoulder TO the wrist.
After these had hardened they were
split at the sides and removed. They
were then covered and lined with fan
nel. These two long tubular band
ages could then, like gaurtlets, be
pulled on and off as the parents wished.
This method proved perfectly success

cured Of the habit=N Y Iournal
