-oRE HEALTH TO WOMAN, MORE
COMFORT TO NAN. ,

Nine married women out OF ton assert that
thew have TO jump out Of bed in the morning TO
cIosc the window. No matter how unselnsh the
,verare man may be In other things. this little
courtesy he absolutely refuses to extend. Ho
vill do anything to get out OF It, In fact. He
teiVns sleep. sickness, and, il necessary, sudden

men are moro selfish In little things than
women and more unselfsh when 1t comes
10 big things arc right; and this Is
iust one Of the little things. Getting up
and closing a window that has been open all
night is a very little thing ordinarily, but when
the nights are nipping. as they have been lately.

women accept the situation nmiably. however.
and have devised n special garment for the oc-
easion. II is called tho sdut-dt-in, or jump

desirable kind Is made Of double-faced cider

After q lapse Of q generation the chignon has
appeared again. Like all returned fashions. 1t
comes back in modified form. Our mothers and
grandmothers wore their hair parted and
brushed down at the sides until 1t looked as
slick as glass. From the smooth coils under the
net behind they did let one or two little curls
escape. but even that was considered a mark of
frivolity. The well-groomed woman Of to-day
wears her crown of glory rolled back from her
forehead In iufiy waves. and 1t 10 gathered be-
hind in a loose artistic twist which is kept in
place BY q net Of some kind. Lots Of soft,
natural.looking little curls are made to
md their way outside tho net. and the
effect IL properly carried out Is good on some
persons. Not every woman can dress her hair

Hair dressers say that there is such a demand
for hair nets that it is difficult to meet it. Two
kinds are used 30 far. the invisible net, made of
fine hair. and the old-fashioned heavy net, woven
OF fine silk tape. However. word comes from
Paris that beaded and jewelled meta have been
adopted there. and dealers say they will make
their appearance here within the next fortnight.
The most stylish are wrought with tiny gold
beads or those OF cut steel. though some women
with pocEetbooks l9nger than their beads have
gems. Hair and six tape nets vary In price
from ten to fifty cents. The handsome ones, Of
course, come higher.
Philadelphia women have taken up a sensible
fad. 1t is the useful art of house upholstery. In
come OF the industrial schools of that city classes
were formed some time ago. and they were soon
running over with women who have to earn
their living and others who do not. all eager to
learn the rudiments of upholstery. Individual

own eye. Bea utiful and rich draperies and
handsome furniture coverings can be picked up

her own work or to direct some one else she can

There has been another change in the
