The fad of wearing long bead chains
TO match the gown is rapidly spread
ing, and may soon be as popular as it
has been for some time in London.
The chains fall almost to the knee, and
are of every conceivable color. Chains
of vivid blue beads, ornamented at in.
tervals by larger beads of yellow or
terra Gotta, yellow and black. or even
bright carmine, are all favorites.
Many fanciful colors and designs are.
found in the Japanese and Oriental
shops, where dull carved woods are
used as additional ornaments on the
chain of bright beads. These chains
are not considered suitable for out
door wear. except on country lawns
and piazzas. and they are too slender
TO support any article heavier than
the decorative tassels at the end.
One particularly fanciful chain worn
recently had bright yellow beads
strung on either side of long oval
black ones, which were painted in
Dresden pattern.

two bows of black.

Vints for JrnIip,d skirts.

In planning out the wide ruffle of a
skirt it is usual TO lay centre back and
front to fold. joining on where occa-
sion requires and pressing all such
seams out of visible existence. Act

The Girls of Holland.

In Holland. the mass of every class
go to public schools and all mix to-
gether. Education begins at six years
of age in the public schools, and at
IL girl is examined and passes on
for five years course in the higher
burgher schools, of which Holland pos
sesses 70. The coeducation of the
sexes Is an admitted principle. In the
primary schools boys and girls are
brought up together, they learn side
by side, and are on familiar terms
from early childhood without the
smallest i'll resulting. A great point
is made of languages. and no Dutch
girl of the upper or middle classes is
considered educated who cannot speak
English, French and German more or
less fluently.
Probably owing to the system of
education in force, the womenfolk are
inclined to grow up somewhat in
dependent; we are told that the preju-
dice against women working for live
lihoOd has almost disappeared, and
even rich women sometimes choose a
profession. They include doctors, den.
lists. many of them first-rate, photog-
raphers and gardeners. About 1000
girls hold posts as assistant chemists,
some 5000 are nurses, trained in the
White Cross Homes, and on a par with
the very best of their profession. A

Cleanliness is essential to the care
of the hair Use a stiff brush, but not
one which scratches the scalp.
Many people labor under the impres.
sion that a vigorous brushing of 100
strokes at night and morning will have
the effect of making the hair grow.
The brush should only be applied with
n gentle. caressing motion. The scalp,
II is true, needs exercising. but that
is best given by finger massage. The
two objects in brushing the hair are:
First. to polish. and second. to clean.
The bristles distribute the natural oil
and remove the surface dust. render
ing the hair glossy and smooth. Fre-
quent massage of the scalp will do
much to promote the growth of the
hair. The motion should be rotary,
beginning in front, over the forehead.
and going back to the crown, then
forward to the temples and back and
forth, till the fingers OF the two hands
meet at the nape of the neck. When
brushing the hair part it down the
centre with comb. then brush
straight across each side of the head
from the parting. Never brush the
hair from forehead to nape of neck;
that is an incorrect movement. Con-
tinue to part the hair lengthwise or
diagonally. in small sections. holding
one side back and brushing the other
side. Go over the head in this man.
ner-twice if your strength doesn't
give out. When this is finished. brush
the hair straight up from the forehead
with several long strokes then twist
the hair loosely in the left hand, throw
it up and over the head and brush the
roots at the outline of the hair on the
neck. from ear to ear.--Montreal Star.

IMPORTANCE OF FALL CROPS.
A Matter the Importance of Which
Is Not Fully Appreciated by
Southern Farmers.

The Importance of all kinds of fall
crops has not been properly weighed
by southern farmers. But the long
continued heated spell out west
makes it certain that every kind of
food crop will be more important
this fall than ever before.
1t is not too late to sow turnips.
Get the yellow Aberdeen, Rutabaga,
Yellow Globe or any variety of yell
low heshed turnips. Prepare the soil
by breaking very deep. Sub-soil if
you can. Then harrow until the top
is very fine. No chance to get it too
fine. Then pack it well with a roller.
Make the rows about thirty inches.
Do not make the beds too high. You
can not cultivate the turnip crop too
| much before planting. Our expert
ence along this line has been uni
| form. The more we have worked the
soil before planting the larger crop
we have made. Cabbage seed sowed
now and transplanted as soon as
large enough will make nice, tender
heads, far better than those sown al
any other season.
Oats may be sown in cotton the lat
ter part of August. Put in with shall
low running scrapes or cultiyators
followed by dust board; they will no
iniure, but rather benefit the cotton
If the fall should prove late and tn
oats get too large, they can be pas
tured. The turf oat is well adaptet
to this purpose.
