Stenciled Gowns.

From Paris comes the very latest
idea in dress decoration. The women
art students are the originals and
those who have seen 1t pronounce it
charming. Where heretofore embroid-
cry has been used the new style Is to
stencil the design, and, as the peculiar
method used is said TO be very simple.
1t Is not necessary to have an unusual
art education or talent. Any clever
woman can have a dozen frocks, each
different, for here is scope for her own
individuality. The work is done on all
textiles, being as satisfactory on wash
materials as on fine silks and chiffons.
Unusual as the idea sounds to those
who have not seen the results, it las
already passed the fad stage and has
become a permanency. at least as much
so rs fashion is ever permanent, and
many OF the noted modistes are giving
the art students large orders to fill.

letters OF coincidence should or should
not be answered. Some people assume
that they are never replied to, others
feel an obligation to reply in writing
to the kindly 'mesrt words Of consola-
tlon offered by fri Ads of the bereayed.
1t is true that members Of a family
who hare sustained a loss are some-
times too much overcome to undertake
the duty Of correspondence. The let
ters Of coincidence are not easy to an
swer. and ut one time there was little
effort in this direction. During the
past few years, however. a change has
come over the face of public sentiment
In this connection. The duty of reply
ing to such letters may be divided
among different members Of the family
and the labor Of writing these need
not be undertaken at once. But all the
same, sad and often heart-breaklng as
II is to write on tie theme of the loss,
these letters are now acknowledged.
If a letter has been sent It is duly
acknowledged; few lines written OH
visiting card does duty in many
cases. particularly when the volume of
coincidence received has been very
great.
The letter of acknowledgment may
be brief. One page is often sufficient.

mothers used to preach rs sine qua
non to fine head of hair Is more OBJ
served in the breach than in tie OBJ
servance-at least, that's what the
most famous hairdresser in London is
saying. He has startled the fashion
able women of England by warning
them that in following the cid tradi-
tions they are brushing the beauty
out of their hair. THE incessant
brushing Of the present day Is ruinous
to the halr." he says. Some women
used to give their hair one hundred
strokes of tho brush night and morn
ing and have good hair in spite of it;
an occasional person might do so now;
but the good hair is in spite OF the
brush, not because of it. All new
hairs appear first as a soft. delicate
fuzz, easily pulled out or destroyed.
Stiff brushing Will wear them out just
as It will wear out the nap of cloth.
The hair roots try to make up for the
destruction. They are forced into alb.
normal growth and their force is de.
pleted. The old hair is falling. The
new hair Is not being allowed to live

hausted. The hair gets thin, struggling.
