Skirts Will Be Fuller

One safe arbiter of fashions declares
the approach of fuller skirts with
flounce anon f1ounce; and the full,
round, gathered or shirred skirt of our
grandmother's day come in. But the
sensible girl will not jump from one
extreme in skirts to the other She
will make the change gradually She
will wear the skirt which clings closely
over hips for a time yet. The next
step will be the skirt with either the
plated or the gathered yoke, but
shaped well to her figure. and held in
place, either by rows of stitching in
the case of the plaits, or silk cords
when the gathers are used. After the
yoke idea has come to be regarded as
a matter of course then she will wear
the skirts which are gathered to the.
waistband and which conceal, rather
than reveal. the outline of the figure.
III this gradual way the dull. old-fash-
toned skirt will steal upon us.
Among some of the latest models in
white yelling is skirt model. 1t shows
groups of three undulating tucks at in

plated at the back and gathered at the

Fashions in Hair Dressing.

Fashions in hair dressing were never
more attractive and becoming than
now. They are not pronounced in any
way and are all in decidedly good taste.
Women are beginning to learn that
they need not adopt any particular
style. even though it be unbecoming, to
be up-to-date, and now select some
mode of dressing their hair, that will
bring out all their good points. While
the tendency is toward the low coil the
woman to whom it is unbecoming can
continue to arrange her hair high on
her head and be quite as fashionable as
before. Ali sorts of fancy ornaments
are worn in the hair in the evening,
but in the daytime the hair should be
dressed simply with side combs as the
only ornaments. Flowers made of silk,
velvet or chiffon are very dainty and
pretty and are the favorite hair orna-
ments. A bunch of these is worn low
and tucked at one side of the Dompa-
dour if it is dressed high. If you wish
TO be very smart wear a large black
rose if you have blonde hair and a
pretty white one with green leaves if
your hair is dark

without hats the thick heads of hair
testify to the beneficial results. In our
own country the bareheaded habit fos-
tered by golf has strengthened many

proves the color of hair and makes it
more fluffy. Over-shampooing is to be
avoided. Once in two weeks is the
average rule; washing, however, de-
prives the hair of its natural oil, and
where the hair is dry it should be
washed less frequently. Oily hair may
be shampooed li~htly once a week
One of the best and simplest shampoos
is made by beating one egg in an ounce
of water and rubbing thoroughly into
the scalp with the finger tips. Pro-
coed with rotary motion over the
forehead and gradually work to the
back of the neck. The egg is a tonic
as well as a cleanser, and the massage
stimulates the hair follicles. After this
operation the hair must be rinsed in
warm water and then in cold. In the
case of hair being very dry little
olive oil is beneficial rubbed into the
roots. Vaseline is a great promoter of
hair growth and is recommended for
arresting falling hair. 1t should be care

Brave Unto Death.

During the active troubles of the al
lied powers with China, the japanese
troops excited the admiration of the
world by their bravery and almost per-
feet discipline. Thomas Willard,
war correspondent, tells a thrilling
story illustrative of Japanese valor and
contempt for peril.
The force sent to relieve the Chris
tians who were besieged in Pekin had
arrived and it devolved on the Japan
csc contingent to blow in a certain gate.
These massive wooden gates. which
are sunk deep in the thick, twelve-f0ot
walls, are approached by means Of a
little bridge across the moat that en-
circles the city. The japanese gener-
al decided that a breach would have
TO be effected by means of dynamite.
For this dangerous mission, he called
for volunteers.
A little corporal, about four foot six
inches in height, was picked out. AS
with utter unconcern the marched
briskly across the bridge, the enemy
ported at him from the top of the wall
until he was out of sight in the recess
occupied by the gate. Having lighted
the fuse, he quickly made his way back
to his own lines without sustaining a
wound.
mo SOOner ndu ne got out OIL the way
than a small door was cautiously
opened and an Acknowledged face
peered out With his sandaled foot
the Chinaman stamped out the lighted
fuse. Then he went back and closed
the door.
Defying almost certain death, the lit
tie corporal started out again, and once
more lighted the fuse. On his way
back he was hit in the shoulder and
stumbled to the ground. Then he
picked himself UP and managed to
reach safety. Once more, however,
the Chinaman was too quick for the
Slow fuse.
Then the little corporal went patter-
ing back to the half demolished gate,
lighted the fuse, drew his short bayo-
net sword and waited. There was a
frightful moment of breathless sus-
pense, then with a frightful roar the
old gate was blown to the heavens and
with it went the poor little corporal.
1t is one thing to risk ones life in the
heat of battle, but quite another to
face of certain and horrible death from
which this subject of the mikado never
flinched.-The Youths Companion.

Babies Never Get Seasick.

Babies never get seasick. 1 have
carried thousands of them in my time"
said an American line steward, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record, and
in rough weather I have seen their
fathers, mothers. brothers and sisters
keel over like soldiers before a cannon
ball; but not so with the babies.
Whether it be rough or smooth at sea,
a baby is always an excellent sailor
rosy, jolly and with the appetite of a
horse. Do you know the explanation
OF this singular fact? 1t is as simple
as the fact is strange. Babies don't
get seasick because they are accus-
toned to the rocking of the cradle.
That movement is much like the rock
ing of a ship. A baby aboard ship,
therefore, is merely a baby in an I'M
usually big cradle, and there is nothing
odd to him about the rocking, for 1t is
what ne has been accustomed to all
his life

Something to Learn.

Something we all need is to learn to
laugh. A good laugh is better than
medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your own
business-a very important point.
Learn to tell story. A well told
story is as welcome as a sunbeam to
the young
Learn to avoid all i'll natured re-
marks and everything calculated to
create friction.
Learn to keep your troubles to your
self. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop grunting. If you
cannot see any good in this world, keep
the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under a pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism.
Learn to greet your friends with q
smile. They carry too many frowns in
their own hearts to be bothered with
any of yours.

Advice to Tired Women.

If the busy woman will take advan-
tage of the following advice, she will
find that youth and beauty will linger
with her past their allotted time: Every
day after luncheon, no matter how
much her time is occupied, she will
battle face and neck in warm water,
and in case of unusual fatigue espe-
cially warm applications will be placed
at the back of the neck for few mo-
ments. The tired lines should next
be smoothed out deity, skin food
should be applied, and then away to
darkened room for twenty minutes
of complete rest. This simple pro-
cedure is so inexpensive and so easily
managed that it will never be popular,
but facts show that many women have
been wonderfully benefited by the rest
when it is needed rather than after
ali the work and hurry and hustle
are over.

When a Woman Is Happiest.

Lady Arabella Romily discusses in
an English magazine the question,
What is the happiest period of wo-
mans life?" She says: Must not a
woman wait till her life is nearly over
before she can answer that question
truthfully? For to each woman, mar
ried or maid, the idea of happiness
must differ according to her tempera-
ment or estate. But in summing up
many examples, in looking back on
beautiful memories, married, 1 think
that the happiest period of womans
life is the time when she has a nursery
full of little children, the baby years"

Domestic Reading.

God is ever drawing like toward like,
and making them acquainted.
We lose the gift of prayer through
our want of gratitude to God, who be-
slowed it.
1t is mans chief blessedness that
there lie in his nature infinite possibili-
ties of growth.
Our God is an accurate God, and in
nothing is He more adorable than in
His accuracy.
If man is not greater than the
things he does, the less said about him
and them the better.
God regards not how much we do
but from how much it proceeds; he does
much that loves much.
Prayer is a pasturage, a field wherein
all the virtues find their nourishment,
growth and strength.

How to Toast Bread.

We toast bread, says the Family Doc
tor, not merely to brown it, but to
take out all the moisture possible that
it may be more easily moistened with
the saliva and thus easily digested;
then we brown it to give a better
flavor. If the slice be thick and care
lessly exposed to blazing fire the out
side is blackened and made into char
coal before the heat can reach the in
side. The moisture is only heated, not
evaporated, and makes the inside
doughty or clammy, and, butter, when
spread upon the bread, cannot pene-
trate, but floats on the surface in the
form of oil, and the result is one of
the most indigestible compounds. The
correct way is to have the bread stale
and cut into thin uniform slices. and
dry it thoroughly before browning it.
Such toast moistened with water or
milk may be easily and thoroughly
acted upon by digestive fluids.

He took a bottle UP to bed,
Drank whisky hot each night,
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But never could get tight;
he shivered in the evening
And always had the blues
Until he took a bowl or two,
But he never blamed the booze.
His joints were full Of rheumatic,
His appetite was slack,
He had pains between his shoulders
And chills ran down his back,
he suffered with insomnia,
AT night he couldn't snooze,
He said it was the climate,
But he never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down
AT least that's what he said
His legs We're swelled each morning,
And he often had swelled head.
he tackled beer, wine, whisky,
And if they didn't fuse
he blamed it to dyspepsia,
But he never blamed the booze.
He said he couldn't sleep at nights
And he always had bad dreams;
He claimed he always laid awake
TIL early sunrise beams.

Till he had to cut his shoes;

But he never blamed the booze.
Then he had the tremens.
And he tackled rats and snakes;

And then he had the shakes.
