Flowers in the Hair.

One long discarded custom is be-
ing brought into favor-that OF wear
ing flower in the hair. Had woman
realized to what extent the pretty
custom was admired and even loved
by the majority of the opposite sex II
never would have fraternized With
the spinning wheel, the blue dishes
and the lace mits in the dim and COB
webbed garnet of things past.
To man, and that man sweet
heart. this little art, for such it is,
of putting a flower in the hair is
signal to all the sensitive sentiment
within him. If you doubt this, look
to the voicings OF the poets. There
you will find holding sway and run
ming riot as roses on an old wall
such phrases as "a blossom in her
tresses," "a flower to bewitch me
in her hair" and that rose above he1
ear was my undoing."
Whether the hair be black OF
brown, red or gold. the charm OF
primeval femininity remains the
same.

q pistol bullet The frs, impression
was that Mrs Gore had been muir
dered by the man, who had in some
manner beguiled her to his rooms.
Subsequently the suicide theory was
brought forward and held to be unten-
able. The United States consul gen
eral in Paris was directed by the
state department to ascertain the
cause of death, and he appointed a
board of American physicians to con-
duct rigid autopsy. These physi-
clans. after q conference with the
French physicians, have come to the
conclusion that Mrs. Gore was killed
by a bullet from the Russians re-
volver, accidentally discharged.

A Substitute for cupboards.

Dwellers in fats and apartments
are often at loss for storage room
for preserves and jellies. An 1nsenl-
Gus woman contrived revolving
stand, which takes up little space and
holds forty pint jars. The shelves,
four in number, are made of stout
bsrrel-head pieces, fastened to cen
;ral shaft, which is run through holes
pierced in the center of each shelf.
The foot of the shaft is firmly fixed
in pivot. and the other end fits into
a hole, in the top of the low closet or
cupboard where the shelves are kept.
Any odd little cnbbyhole can be utilizr

The choice OF novel weaves and

are available only for the Juno-like

Of regal carriage in them. In flecked,

the possibilities arc wide for the less

warm or bright colors, contribute
generously to beautiful effects.

Mt the same time she made the re-
mark you saw her arrayed In delicate
and flimsy lingerie. thin and brilliantly
colored hose and the like. with dam
ty dressing sack thrown over all. what
would you expect her to do-go out
and put on u tailor.made walking sui:
and walking shoes over all this nimsy
underwear? OF course you would not
expect her to do this, and OF course
she would not do 1t. On the face OF 1t,
it seems hardy worth bringing up as
q point, and yet there is often as great
inccngruity in less conspicuous direc'
tions in what is considered q toilet.
To be dressed for an occasion is to be
dressed therefor from tip to toe, and
some time has been spent during the
past few days in finding out suitable
ways in which one may dress for the
street.
The young lady in question Is In
medium circumstances and the gar
ments described neither extremely
rich nor very plain. The first is q
knit merino combination suit and
black cashmere hose with panels OF
dark blue in diamond shapes across
the instep. According to the most
approved authority on hygienic as well
as artistic dressing she will be very
careful not to draw the Carters, which
are attached to the front of the corset,
too tightly. The side supporters she
will wear, as is customery, and the
hygienic enthusiast will probably have
nothing to say.
Next in order will be either knit
ted corset cover and knitted short
skirt or a muslin corset cover, prefer
ably cut off at the waist, and short
skirt or muslin or light flannel, AZ
taste or weather dictate.
Next she will put on the long petit
coat, which, if it is silk will require
frequent cleaning, or if it is desired
that it should be washable 1t may b'

weight walking shoes.
Next in order is the walking skirt
made of Scotch tweed, with seam
strapped with black braid and mar

Hints on Starchina.

Use hard soap in washing clothes.
In boiling white clothes add a tea
spoonful Of turpentine to the water
20 assist in the whitening process.
Boiled starch is much improved by
the addition of salt or a little gum
arabic dissolved. Another hint in
reference to starch is that the iron
will not stick in ironing if the starch
as been mixed with soapy water.

A few of the accessories Of this toll

elaine with inside pockets for hand
kerchiefs and small purse. The leath'

for the above described costume. The
young lady will wear dark kid gloves
and will carry neatly folded umbrel-
ia with straight natural wood handle

which is a mother of pearl medallion.
