THE HAIR SHoULD BE FREQUENTLY
 TAKEN DOWN To REST

all the mystery and delicate charm of maidenhood in a filmy bit of lace and a string of pearls. Of late we have had the fashion of putting a bit of ribbon about the hair in the fashion of a fil- let.
 In classic times a veil over the head was the mark of q well-to-do matron.
 At one time cap or coverchief was so arranged as to make a triangle of the face, after the manner of the mail coif of the knights. Elizabeth, Queen of Henry VII, wore one of these angular headdresscs, from which her hair fell unconfined over her shoulders. A wid- ow wore a distinctive cap-a wimple with lappets.
 The fashion of nets of gold or silver flagree. which prevailed in the thlr- teenth century was charming
 We read that Queen Philippa wore her hair confined n a reticulated covering of goldsmith's work. Queen Joanna of Ma varre wore a net of fret-work, from which hung a light veil. At this time the hair was sometimes worn partly in net and partly falling over the should CTS.
 Extravagances in headgear were not re- stricted to the fashions of one sex alone. fanciful caps were also worm by men. From caps to elaborate headdresses was but step. During the first year of the French Revolution cultures were monu- mental and women were frequently seen with their hair dressed a la Victoi~e a la Bastille. or 9 Ia Nation. But the s,1b- scouent reign of terror was too awful. too absorbing, to leave much thought to vanity in hair-dressing, and women again returned to the fashion of wearing caps. The Charlotte Cornay is specimen of the revolutionary or liberty cap."

The morning toilet of the hair should be made with large, broad-toothed comb, used for merely strengthening the tresses. The scalp. if possible. should net be touched. If the hair is falling badly not even the comb should be used. Tht locks are massed on top of the head, a broad bone hairpin is run through them, and the becoming cap is placed over all.
 For the few hours of afternoon and evening the hair may be dressed as eiab- orately as fashion or fancy dictate.
 Some women wear a cap at night, but 1t must be of silk. A s lk handkerchief, knotted at the four corners, is some times the most convenient arrangement. The silk, these devotees of the night cap say, creates gloss or "olish by com municating electricity to the hair.
 The wearing of caps solves another hygienic problem The pompadour style of hairdress.ng, the doctors are telling us. causes nervous prostration At least, they say that any style of coiffure that injures the roots of the hair irritates the nerves. and that whatever irritates the nerves induces nervous prostrat!on.
 Although a woman will not acknowledge it. except to heself, she knows that q stiff pompadour hurts for days before she becomes accustomed to wearing it. She knows what relief it is. even after she became inured to 1t, to remove the rat" brush her hair softly back as na- ture had intended. and let 1t hang loosely about her shoulders.
 The pompadour, in various forms has been in vogue for more than ten years. First. the hair was cut short as if for the old-fashioned "frizzes, and combed

The mischief with hair nowadays is caused by the extravagant use of combs, big pins, daggers and jeweled ornaments.
 Nineteen heads out of twenty, so the doctors tell us, need rest from too much combing and arranging. When hair is thin, dry fading or falling. 1t needs rest
 It Is obvious that a girl cannot go around like mermaid or the Lady of Shallot, with flying tTesses. Fascinating as she might look, it would not be con- venient or proper. The solution of the problem, therefore. lies In the adoption of caps, for the morning hours at least Caps will not prevent hair from turning gray neither will they keep it from fall ing out, but their use allows the hair to be lightly gathered up, without tight twisting or braiding, or much pinning
 Mass the hair loosely. put in a pin or two, and cover the becoming disorder with coquettish cap-a Charlotte Cor day, a Martha Curtis mob. a Puritan mutch or a bit of sheerest lawn. What. ever it's style. it will be found a charming frame for a piquant face
 Even let the hair hang loose, but. for T touch of femininity, spread over the crown of the head a bit of net or a Queen Adelaide kerchief. Tulle. chiffon and tha crispest Swiss are most called into re- quisition for cap building. In shapes caps are rivals of those worn nearly a century ago. when ringlets were in vogue and could not always be coaxed into proper shape for the breakfast table The crisp and becoming cap was then adopted for the morning hours. For a different reason. it is now increas s~~'v the mode for the breakfast toilet.

at right angles to the head Every young woman who wore her hair thus exchanged confidences with her friends about how it hurt. In time. the pain dis appeared, as the pain of the Chinese child's tortured feet disappears.
 Then came a new form of the pompa- dour, and with it the rat" The pompa- dour, to be conventional and correct. must be drawn over rat" and it must be drawn tightly to properly outline the rat" The result according to some authorities is nervous prostration. lv The hair, drawn away from the face | in a direction opposite from that which nature intended, irritates the nerves of
 the scalp and, by reflex action. affects
 the entire nervous system by straining
 the muscles.
 The muscles at the top and front part of the head are most obstinate. Those
 at the back are much more pliable and
 lend themselves easily to manipulation | The roots of the hair are not set verti-
 cally but at q slight slant in the head'
 The parts of the roots which reach the
 surface point slightly to either side. in
 dicating that nature designed that the
 hair should be parted al the middle instead of brushed back from the fore
 head.
 If is noteworthy that the great spread |
 has taken place in the past ten years
 and so is contemporaneous with the rise
 and sway of the pompadour.
 | Sixty per cent. of our women are neu- | rasthemics" said a doctor three years ago. Since that time the number has increased to 75 per cent. It may be mo- | ticed that D per cent. of the women of America have worn pompadours for part at least, of the past three years. Hair specialists, therefore. make a plea for hair worn loosely. "There should be few hairpins," they tell us. They should be used sparingly, for they, too irritate the sensitive nerves of the scalp If there must be a pompadour, wear it loosely, discard the rat" and for some hours daily discard a coiffure altogeth- CT in favor of a cap"
 The question arises in this connection ] Why don women wear caps or head i dresses? They are coquettish and make q pretty woman irresistibly fascinating and a plain woman charming. In the Middle Ages they knew how to embody

 Frank B. M.-It depends, of course. on
 what causes short breath. but In almost any case breathing exercises, taken several times a day, will improve short breath. They will always do this when the trouble is nervous. Even where there is heart weakness, breathing exercises are excellent, but they should never be
 taken violently. Try to breathe through the nostrils, taking your breath very slowly, very gently-a long, easy breath. exhaling in the same manner. If you get into the habit of breathing persis- tently, of taking your breath rhythmical- ly, with the mouth closed, your difficulty in breathing will disappear and you will have established one of the most vitally important functions for health and per-

 affections you should consult a physician. Mrs. John LA good powder for pers- piring feet Is made of:
