HOLLY for the coiffure.

There is a tendency to make the
hair conform to the season. In June
the rose, in autumn the chrysanthe-
mum, at Christmas the holly.
They take holly now and stand it
upright in the hair, as though it were
an aigrette. The holly is tied in a
stiff little sprig and is fastened back
of the pompadour or in the top of it.
The prickly leaves and the gorgeous
red berries make a very nice orna-
ment for the hair, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer.
The holly wreath is also seen in
the coiffures of the season. This is a
wreath Of the leaves trained to lie
around the knot at the back OF the
neck. The wreath should be a very
slender one. and 1t should be twisted
around the knot and fastened with
pins invisibly rather than conspicu-
ously. The effect is a pretty artless-
ness.
Women who can wear an ornament
over the ears are taking punches of
holly berries. with a leaf or two, and

New Ideas in Ribbons.

There are some new ideas in rib
bons. Bright and satiny surfaces are
most in favor. The wide ribbons for
trimming have a silk beaver finish.
One of the smartest of these is q
bright green shot with blue. A white
ribbon showered with graduated black
spots has pattern of dark blue spots
OF varying sizes. Ribbon having de-
sign of scarlet peoples is effective.
An entirely new idea is the embroid-
cred cloth ribbons in narrow widths.
These are playing an important part
on the gowns of the moment For
example, a black ribbon has a design
of forget-me-nots. They are also seen
in the oriental colors.

Something original in the way of

intervals with small gold monkeys,
each monkey clasping a pearl in his
hand. AS the chain is worn these
monkeys have the appearance OF
climbing up the chain one over the
other in a fashion which is realistic
and amusing.

being largely guided by tint and soft

deep fiounce widths, that answers the
purpose particularly well.

Christmas in Porto Rico is church
festival of much Importance, and the
celebration of it is made up chiefly of
religious ceremonies intended to COM
memorate the principal events in the
life of the Savior. Beginning with the
celebration of his birth at Christmas
time, the feast days follow one an
other in rapid succession. Indeed, it
may justly be said that they do not
really come to an end until Easter

His Friends Ate the Ducks
While the Doctor and His Invited Guests Had Eat Canned
Goods But the Physician Had Not Altogether the
Worst of the Joke.

A doctor who lives in Highland
Park has his ONCE in the Venetian
building, says the Chicago Record
Herald. One day last fall he informed
the other occupants Of the suite that
one Of his patients had just presented
him with half dozen mallard ducks.
and he was going to telephone to his
wife to invite couple OF his friends
and their wives to come down and
spend the evening and help TO eat
them
When he went out to luncheon the
other doctors determined to play a
joke on him. They undid the package.
took out the ducks, and in place put
some medicine bottles filed with
water to make up weight and then
stuffed crumpled paper and cloths
round them so as to get the proper
soft feeling TO the package and then
restored the original wrapper The
ducks were taken to a restaurant and
ordered to be ready at O'Clock.
The doctor started for home on the
$500 train and At 6 his medical friends
in the city started in on the feast.
Next morning to their surprise he
never said one word. but went about
his business in the ordinary way. BY
3 o'clock the silence became intoler-
able to the jokers. and at last one OF
them said by the way, doctor. how
