hunted Molly UP and conducted her to Cen

that her narle be placed ON the list of half

in front with the back hair in very tight
knot, or else in a coil decidedly low on the

correct, although the former seems to
have the greatest favor. Quite an effort
was made last summer by several promi-

but is largely confined to evening. Some
few women go in for the extreme style
Of parting their hair in the middle, this

wonderfully active. digestive agent, and that q
little OF the fruit taken at the end OF a meal
is valuable preventive of dyspepsia?
The digestive principle is called "bromelin's

Of proteid to which 1t is subjected. Fibrin

cess Is slow, while with the 'abumen Of meat
Its action seems first to produce pulpy
gelatinous mass which, however, completely
dissoIves after a short time.
When a slice of fresh pineapple is placed
upon raw, beefsteak the surface of the
steak becomes gradually gelatinous owing to
the digestive action of the engine OF the
juice. OF course, it is well known that diges-
tive agents exist also in other fruits, but
when 1t is considered that an ayerage-sized
pineapple will yield nearly two pints of Juice
1T will be seen that the digestive action OF
the whole fruit must be enormous
The activity of this peculiar digestive agent
is destroyed in the cooked pineapple but un-
less the pineapple is preserved by heat there
Is no reason why the timed fruit should not
retain the digestive power. The active diges-
tive principle may be obtained from the
Juice by dissolying a large quantity of COM

In order that the altar may always have
fresh flowers she spends many hours In
