coming season. To arrange the hair after
this style. divide the front part into three
pieces. co. aing the hair forward, and then
turn it back to the crown of the head. Tho
hair should be slightly waved.
For the new hats, and also for every day
occasions, have the hair coiled high on the
head in a figure eight, with the top raised
to be like loop. The front in pompadour

dressing Is suitable for women of from
twenty to forty-five years of age.
Elderly women generally wear their hair
high on the head, but below the crown
The front is parted and arranged in soft
waves that are drawn down over the fore
head, giving a more softened look.
For young girls there are two styles of
hair-dressing. One way is to part the hair
in front, to roll it at the sides, and to ar
range 1t low in the neck at the back This
is particularly pretty for curly hair, as the
knot at the back Of the neck is very be-
coming.
Young girls also wear their hair in POM

the ends braided and turned up and tied
at the nape of the neck with another bow
of ribbon. Sometimes the very end of the
braid is put up back and fastened under
the bow on the top of the head. All these
methods of dressing the hair are the best
styles Tor the coming season.

The Art of Dinner Giving.


1 know an interchangeable dinner giver in
Paris whose cook keeps the debit and credit
account of invitations given and received.
The mistress of the house considers her
moral responsibility at an end when she
has ordered an elaborate menu and expen-
sive flowers, heaped her most costly silver
and china upon a table and seated around
it her most pressing creditors. This COM
mercial principle seems to be a necessary
element in modern society, to be dealt with
as best one can. 1t is, however, something
quite outside of the question of brilliancy,
with which we are dealing at present. A
dinner table to be brilliant must be a more
or less concentrated essence of the social
life and the social excitement of the time
In it's most perfect form, each guest will be
a personality which, in some way other,
will attract the attention Of every other
person present
This interest may spring from elements
the most diverse, and which have nothing
whatever to do with the intrinsic value of
the individual or his achievements. man
may be possessed of most superior talent,
and at the same time have no marked
value dinner guest. For this he must
represent In some way living interests of
society. There can be no more opportunity
for explanation or discovery at a dinner
than in an instantaneous photograph. Each
guest must be sufficiently in peoples minds
and thoughts to bring in with him a Whit
of that special atmosphere which is the life
of functions. 1t is this principle that ex-
plains the vogue of the visiting lion He
is frequently a most depressing person. I
remember a certain English celebrity at a
feast given in his honor in private house
whose only contribution towards the hilar-
ity of the rapast was the remark, Poor
fish,. shad; too many bones.' Nevertheless
he was success. His presence seemed to
.hmpari a sort of awful joy, and other peo-
pie talked at their best. One might remark
in passing that brilliancy and amusement
need not necessarily have anything In com
mon.

No DeadhenLs There.

1 heard a good story that comes from
a little town in the northern part of
the state: Among the members of the
Methodist church at that place is an
old railroad conductor who has been
retired from the business for ten years
or more. During the morning service
at his church not many Sundays ago
the old railroader was called upon by
the minister to assist in taking up the
collection-one Of the stewards who
usually helped in that work being alb
sent.
The retired railroader started down
the aisle with the contribution basket
and passed it around like an old hand
at the business. Everything passed off
smoothly until he came to a good old
brother who had nodded himself fast
asleep, and just as he was about to pass
by him he was suddenly overcome by
the force Of habit acquired in his rail-
road days. Giving the sleeping brother
a dig on the shoulder with the basket.
he blurted out:
