and the fashionable mode insists upon
plenty of them.
For the woman who has considered
| fetching little curls and ringlets and
soft undulations among the things for
her unattainable. except by the unmis
taxable use of the iron. it will be
something of a pleasure to learn of a
simple and effective method to pro-
duce a natural undulation without
using the abominable curling iron.
1t means so much to a woman to
possess really wavy hair that she will
| spend a great deal of time in the effort
to secure a pleasing affect and not
count that time wasted If she sue
ceeds in enhancing her personal
charms.
Two clever sisters who have treated
the heads of many of New Yorks
fashionable set discovered, or rather
| have devised, a means by which they
are able to train perfectly straight
hair to assume a natural looking I'M
dulation, and it is a conspicuous mat
ter of fact that dampness proves en-
tirely inefficient in destroying these
soft and charming waves.
To be sure il requires constant train
ing for some little time, but no longer
than one ordinarily spends using the
tongs, and in the end something of an
achievement is yours, while the con-
dition of the hair is improved instead
| of impaired.
Since the pompadour, which has been
worn for so long with perhaps slight
changes, bids fair to remain with us,
| undulation has become quite neces-
sary in order to give the full, soft
effect around the face so desired and
so immensely becoming.
Most hair has to be trained to fall
forward and to accomplish this is
simple enough if the following hints
are observed:
First of all, the front of the hair is
parted off from ear to ear and combed
down over the face: then it is divided
into three parts.
The middle portion is combed back,
and wet slightly with a small brush
dipped in some good tonic; then it is
ready for the undulating trick.
The tonic not only makes the hair
easier to handle while getting it ready
to wave, but is what its name implies
With this part of the hair held back
in one hand, the comb is run slowly
| through the hair and a "combful" is
| pulled loose and allowed to fall in a
wave to whichever side it seems to
show natural inclination. This ten
dency should always be remembered
and the procedure never reversed.
With the forefinger of the other hand
hold the wave fiat against the fore
| head, releasing the comb, and with the
latter bring forward another wave,
turning in the opposite direction.
The second finger should be slipped
down over the second wave to hold
it in place and the process continued
until three or four ondulations have
been formed: then each row should be
pinned down fiat against the head,
using a great number of very small
wire hairpins.
If desired one or two more waves
may be added to the top though
usually four are sufficient to make a
wavy pompadour.
Next the side hair is taken up and
first the right and then the left treated
in the same manner, each wave held
carefully in place and then pinned
fat.
The trick is all in handling the comb
and in getting the hair to fall in even
fluctuations, and it requires some prac-
tice in order to do it properly and to
attain the desired effect.
It is decidedly easier of course, to
do it on some ones else head, or even
to describe it, but a small stock of
patience deft fingers and the truly
feminine desire to look your best will
accomplish wonders.
The sisters who devised the method
are kept busy "pinning down and
arranging the undulating coiffures of
their many customers and they are
reaping the harvest that awaits such
thrifty pioneers.
A writer in the Philadelphia Times
says that If you want your children to
be courteous treat them with respect.
That they will invariably copy your
manners. so you must take care that
they are the best
That you should be as careful of
} their feelings as you wish them to be
of the feelings of others.
That when ii is necessary to admin
lister reproof ii should be given in pri-
vate.
That most children are sensitive on
this point; it Injuries their self respect
and they feel 1t acutely though they
are not able to express it in words.
That to tell child in public that 1t
has been rude or lacking in good breed
ing is as unwarrantable as it would be
to tell a guest so.
That it is no excuse to argue that
you are doing it for the purpose of
making the child better and more
thoughtful.
That this can be accomplished much
better If you take the child aside at the
first convenient opportunity and gent
ly but firmly point out what the error
was. and what should be done on the
next occasion.
; That it is possible to callous a child's
conscience by too rigid discipline, and
this is mistake made by too many
mothers.
, That the punishment that is admin
istered while the mother is angry or
impatient over the fault is never so
beneficial as that given after both the
parent and the child have had time to
cool Off" and think the matter over.
Then the child has had time to realize
the fault and the business of punish
ment, and the mother has had time to
decide what sort of punishment is most
in line with the fault and will be apt
to make a lasting expression.
''It makes one perfectly furious to

said a young woman recently, TO the
New York Tribune. Women may do
all sorts of nasty, tricky little things
to gain their ends. and the men only
laugh at them, and discount them and
like them none the less for their cat
ty' ways, but IL one of their own asso,
ciates or friends showed himself equal
ly lax. he would be disliked at once.
