Robert T. Baird. aged eleven years,
the son of Robert l.. Baird of Grova-
MIA, holds unique place among the
bright youths of Georgia.
He is a fast and accurate telegraph
operator and has already done regular
work in Western Union offices. AT one
time he was in charge of the offices at
Vienna as day operator.
Young Baird seems to have taken to
the key by instinct. When only seven
years old he could sit at the instrument
and send before his father knew he
was acquainted with the alphabet. At
nine years of age he could receive. and
now he is considered a competent oper-

for his unique usage of the English

WHEN BUYING A HAT.

When a woman has either sharp or
prominent features she should never
wear a hat off the face. A hat brought
well over the face is more becom-

A hat with the brim crushed in here
and there is usually chosen by a
woman whose features are irregu-

With small features avoid a large
picture hat.
Keep the forehead in shadow if it is
inclined to be high. and never wear
a hat that has an upturned brim.
Small toques for small features, un-

Oval or round toques, with soft, rich
colorings, or black and white, suit best

poo can wet the hair well with cold
water, break an egg upon the head,
rub IL we'll into the roots. lather the
head with soap jelly and, finally, wash
out with many rinsings of very hot
water. This gives a thorough sham
poo
The hair can be treated twice a
month to a good shampoo. Or. if il be
dry hair, once a month will do. But
once a week it should be well washed
with hot water and the hands. This
will take out the oil and make it in
cline to curl.
To keep the hair in furl there are
several hints that must be followed.
Don't try TO curl the hair before it
is thoroughly dry.
IF you put il up wet, let ii remain
up until it is as dry as a bone.
Don't stiffen the waves with glyc-
erin unless you want an artificial look
though these stiff waves are fine for
hot days and for travelling.
Don't forget that the old-fashioned
ounce seed mixture, made very thin
and used sparingly, is as good to-day
as il was twenty years ago. II viii
keep the hair in curl.
when washing the hair don't injure
the roots. Don't dig them with the
finger nails. Be careful not to irritate
the scalp. Irritation of the scalp makes
dandruff. The hair may be scrubbed,
but the scalp must not be dug.
Don't try to wave or curl hair that
is full Of dandruf. 1t will never look
rice. Cure the dandurff first. To DO
this massage the roots of the hair with
almond oil. About ten drops will go
all over the head. Frequently five or
six drops will do. Don't wet the hair.
but only the scalp. The oil can be put
on with a medicine dropper.
TO apply oil with a medicine drop
per. part off the hair SOFAS to expose q
wide white parting. Drop the oil along
this. Use only two drops Now take
the finger tips and massage the open
parting, using a gentle little spat, spat,
spat.
Don't try TO be pretty without ar
ranging your hair prettily. 1t cannot
be done. Dress the hair first. That
is the beauty rule. Then make your
hair look pretty.
THE hair must at all stages Of the
beauty game be kept light and fluffy,
for, otherwise, il lies damp and fat
upon the head and there is no beauty
in 1t.
But there is a last word of wis
dom. Keep the hair fluffy and glossy.
And don't forget that it must be laid
in natural waves-to be in style."

DOMESTIC SERVANTS
IN RUSSIA

The Russian servant, says the Lon
don Daily News, is hired for one year.
and is told exactly what his particular
duty is to be. He then sticks TO that
one duty. AS long as each servant
faithfully performs the special duties
of his position all is well; but the ne
glectful butler, or cook, or coachman is
sent by the employer with a written
note TO the police judge, who after
carefully investigating the complaints
has a right TO order bodily punishment
or to write a bad mark in the book
kept for this purpose.
In great Russian households often
from twenty to fifty servants are kept,
and even the middle class families
have two or four. The pay of these
servants varies according to the line
of work. While the chiefs" in the
kitchens of wealthy families often re-
eeive $500 year, cook in an ordi-
nary citizens employ gets no more
than sl2 a year, and a maid of all
work never gets more than s5 a year.
At Easter every servant gets a pres
ent, generally a suit or dress.
Every other Sunday the servants in
a Russian household are entirely free.
Their work stops Saturday night after
supper. when the servants leave the
house not to return until the next
Monday morning. The employers
never ask where or how the free time
is spent
Russian servants will pilfer. Since
Russian ladies leave everything to the
care of the servants, the latter do as
they please.
The men servants smoke cigars be-
longing TO their masters and pay fire.
