Curls Without longs.

Away with the curling tongs! A boon
which womankind will welcome has been
found-a means for curling the hair by a
natural process.
The trick is done without iron or heat of
any sort. All that is required are brush
and comb and dab of hair tonic.
The first step in the operation is standing
before mirror to part the hair laterally
from ear to ear. Comb the forward half
down over the face and divide it into three
parts
Select the central one of these three di-
visions for the first treatment. comb it
back from the face and wet it with a good
tonic applied with a brush. The wetting
of the hair makes it easy to handle, and the
tonic nourishes the roots and helps the
growth.
With the middle portion of the hair thus
slightly dampened. hold it back on the head
with one hand, while the other hand grasps
a comb. which is run slowly through the
hair and ''combrul'' gently pulled loose
Remember not to release the ends, but now
let the loose part fall into the wave that ii
will naturally take. Take care to notice
what this natural bent is and follow it,
Success depends on this. If the wave falls
slightly to the right or to the left or where
ever it falls, let it be there.
The forefinger of the hand which is hold
ing the hair back should be placed over the
wave to hold it in place fiat against the
forehead.
Then draw out the comb and raise it to
pull out another wave, turning in the OPP
posite direction. When this wave has been
adjusted, use the second finger to hold it
in place.
Then put a ---Ird wave forward. and so on
Four is about the usual number. although
there may be more if you like. Before re-
moving the hand and thereby releasing the
series of waves pin each one tightly in
place with small wire hairpins.
Treat each of the side sections as the
central section. When the three parts have
been moved and pinned fast tie them down
still tighter by means of an old, soft veil
which should be worn until the dampness is
thoroughly died out Of the hair, usually for
about an hour.
Then remove the pins. and the hair hav-
ing been dried in that shape, will remain in
the waves.

At all the exclusive millinery establish
ments the news is that smart women abroad
wear nothing but the fat hats. the plateaux
with which we are familiar. Many of the
lovely models shown are trimmed as simply
as possible, others are mass of flowers.
But it is the hat line which counts for
everything in the plateau. In size It is
huge-all the new hats are. You may. buy
the biggest, but if on your head it lacks
certain line you have thrown your money
away, SO far as your smart appearance
goes, and that is no small matter, for the
cost of hat is no trifie nowadays. On the
other hand, the cheapest straw, IL invested

simply with chou, enables you to wear it

The New Colors.

Cloth and frieze are the favorite ma

they are mostly made in bright colors to
cheer us after so many months Of black

crude as they once were. They are more
becoming to the complexion also than they
used to be of yore, and no one can now
accuse them of being bad taste. Some Of
the new pinks and reds are positively love-
ly The new reds are neither crimson,
scarlet nor brick in shade. Other colors
are turquoise, nut brown, gray, nasturttum,
gold and green-also in quite new shade.
No color should be too decided In Tone and

season.

Two CASES
OF POCKET
PICKING
One Man Lost Cash, Another
His Watch, but Recovered
Wallet After Exciting Chase

There was a dual case of pocket picking
carly this afternoon at Infantry hall.
This was at 12:45 o'clock. just after the
morning session OF the Baptist Young
Peoples union was over.
James A. Mcguire OF North Abingdon,
Mass, was relieved OF S. in a small purse.
II was taken from the left hand pocket
Of his trousers.
Attempt was made to rob William Jack
son, another delegate, who came from the
son recovered his wallet and SO IN money,
not. however. his gold watch.
AS the immense crowd was surging
through the corridor OF Infantry hall
shortly before ! o'clock this afternoon
pickpockets piled their crafty practices.
II had small purse with IS In bills
and some change and was not for a mo-
ment thinking OF pickpockets. But when
L reached Crawford street bridge on my
way to the hotel | found i had nothing.
Whom do L suspect? That / could not

was a crush, everybody seeming anxious

This was the experience of James A.
Mcguire. a delegate from North Abing-
ton, Mass.

Jumping from the wagon he gave chase
to the thief, pursuing him short dis
tance along South Main and through
Ward TO South Water street to the boil

pany, where the thief dropped the green
cylinders.
He cody washed his hands and started
down South Water street.

the thief had thrown his illgotten trea-
