Wave the Hair Naturally.

Most important in waving the hair
in the great undulations which are so
popular for the pompadonr effect just
at present is to make it look as nat
ural as possible. The point of differ
ence between naturally wavy hair and
waves created by the curling iron is
that the former undulate evenly and
match all over the head, no matter
from what part the hair is combed.
The waves fit into each other. The
artificial wavelets are all sizes, and
Jog ut every inch or SO, showing an
unevelneSs of heat in the iron and
no regard for making ends fit to-
gether.
While it is not possible to perfectly
counterfeit nature, still, having de-
cided upon the sort of coiffure de-
sired, the waves can be manufactured
surprisingly even. The first lock hav-
ing been waved, all others must match
it in size and direction as if the whole
head were waved in one impression OF
the hot iron. This can be done ac-
curately by taking few hairs from
the first lock and combing it with the
second to measure the waves. This
must be continued all around the first
lock, and extend all around the lead.
Only in this way can waved couture
be made effective. The iron must also
be Of even temperature throughout
the whole process, otherwise one wave
will be tighter than another. When
properly done the most simple ar
rangement is beautiful.

You will hear divers answers as to
what kind of people the Beers are.
The more short sighted and intolerant
travellers may say that the Beers are
dirty lot who don't use table napkins,
an illiterate set of brutes who never
heard OF Kipling, an utterly unrefined
people whose knowledge of art is nil (;
in short, backward, stupid, unpro-
gressive, half civilized set who are too
thick-headed to know they are stand
ing in the path of that Juggernaut car,
civilization, and must in the end be
crushed beneath its wheels.
1t is q mistake to take Paul Kruger
and his surrounding politicians as
types of the Boer. Also it is mis-
take to take the dweller in the towns
as typical. To unearth the real Boer
one must seek the wide and solitary
veldt, the hidden valleys, the distant
hills, and there, on his farm, draw him
out and study him. Your true Boer

womanly Exercise No, New with Us.

womaniy Exercise Not New with us.
Susan, Countess Of Malmesbury,
seeks to rid the mind of the fallacy
that outdoor exercise is special at
tribute Of the women of the present
day. Our mothers and grandmothers,
she reminds us, could sit horse,
WELD salmon rod or use an oar. We
know, too, that Mary Queen of Scots
never could keep her health unless
she rode twenty or thirty miles day,
aud that the ladies of her court ac-
companied her when she went out
hawking.
Both the women and the men of
past days led, forcedly, lives which
were in the main quieter than ours,
locomotion being so much more ex-
pensive, fatiguing and difficult.
Many things which formerly were
done at home by the mistress of the
house and her maid servants now are
accomplished best elsewhere.
The doctor and the chemist of today
are more reliable than those of the
past. therefore the mother of the fam
lily does not find it necessary or even
advisable to concoct medicines for
those about her.
Certainly the principles and prac-
tice OF today appear to have created q
race of fine outstanding young women,
many of whom leave their homes,
where they have been loved and deli
cately nurtured, to follow their hus-
bands, enduring all manner of hard
ships without complaint.
Many OF these women, who have
never done hard days work in their
lives, go to the colonies, and what
their hands find to do that they brave
ly undertake. Their mental training
would be Of the wrong sort indeed
had it not taught them the dignity Of
the necessary labor of woman for
those she loves.
Careful diet, continues the count.
ess, and exercise specially adapted to
the needs of each individual are the
most powerful-indeed the only last
ing we possess against tho
enervating effect of luxury or high
pressure, and the sedentary existence
which the stern necessity Of earning q
living has imposed on too many of
our sex, and they are remedies which
cannot be replaced by medical treat
ment.
Almost every woman might, if she
had the time at her disposal, derive
benefit from the bringing into active
use of some one set of muscles, sup.
posing that her efforts were directed
rightly. The Swedish system of gym
nastics fully recognizes this fact, and
it is well known that there are special
movements which improve the action
of the heart or of the digestive facul-
ties, as the case may be.
The whole secret lies in knowing
what to do, but in not overdoing it,
and in developing side by side the
mental and physical qualities of our
young girls as they are growing up.

Latest Fmnciss I'm Lingerie.

The fcndness that women have for
dainty lingerie not infrequently leads
them into grave mistakes in purchas-
ing it. The cheap garments, with
their fluffy lace, while so attractive on
the bargain table, lamentably fail to
keep their character after one laun-
dering.
The cambric umbrella skirt, four
and half yards wide, with four in
sertions Of Va!enciennes and wide
