The Hon. John Sharp Williams,
leader of the minority in the house
of representatives, says that one day
while leisurely driving down a road
near his home town in Mississippi he
observed a darby. reclining under Il

was gazing lazily up through the
branches of the tree, and a hoe lay
beside him. In the cornfeld adjoin-

AS the child grows older, the hair
should be thoroughly washed every

Eggs are just as cleansing as soap, and
very nourishing to the scalp, because OF
the sulphur contained in them. BY rub

The rinsing process is simplified by
Holding the child's head back and using

Tricks That Cause Wrinkles.

The best way to have a smooth, UNI
wrinkled skin is TO keep the wrinkles
out. Unpleasant wrinkles can be kept
out of the face by avoiding those ex-
pressions which tend to make deep
Lines.
The woman who Is the victim of the
smelling salts bottle is said to wrinkle
years before her time.
Frowning brings lines, IS Goes every
known worry and all fretting.
Going bareheaded in a burning sun
brings wrinkles about the eyes and
forehead. The eyes naturally try to
protect themselves from the injusties
done them.
And worse than some other wrinkle
producing expressions is the rush"
expression which so many women, and
men, too, of the present day are wear
ing daily. These wrinkles can be
avoided by remembering that another
day is coming and that mad pace
wastes time and never makes more
minutes in the day.

sleeves which are feats of millinery,
are delightful features of this waist,
which is shown with a skirt in the
same material. The yoke is of lace
draped with a fichu of India null. and
the bodice fastens slightly at the left
front under three bows of coral pink
taffetas.
But" the fair critic will say. "since
the subject was theater waists why in
troduce the skirts?" and madame the
modiste will tell you that it is be-
cause the high world now looks lit
tie coldly upon the odd bodice. Ravish-
ing ones are seen and they are ex-
plotted by smart dressers, but the har-
monious ensemble of a costume is
thought to supply the most satisfac-
tory get-up. Numerous splendid skirts
of velvet, silk, poplin, etc.. are accom-
panied by waists entirely of lace, but
whatever the color of the skirt the
bodice matches. If more continuity is
desired, bretelles and sashes of the
skirt material are often added. The
only exception to this, maybe, is in the
jacket of colored brocade, which may
be worn with black or white lace
skirt. Numbers of such coats are seen
brilliantly hued. and made dashine
with stiffened tails, gemmsd buttons
and rich laces which form smart
cravats and sleeve trimmings Of much
beauty.

To Get Heat from . Fan.

If one can believe the American Flee
trician-and it's authority is high the
electric fan that is used to keep one rool
during the summer can also be ased
advantageously to heighten the tempera-
turc of room during the winter, where
the steam radiator is either too small or
the steam pressure too low to maintain
a comfortable temperature. place the
fan" says the Electrician, so that the
current of air will blow against large
surface of the radiator, and in a very
short while the room is changed from
cold to warm" The production of that
effect in that way is very hard to under
stand, and. therefore, not easy to be-
lieve, but the Electrician ought to know
what it is talking about. and toe e1-
pertinent is one easy to try.

Mrs. Admington heard gasps of sur

voice of the man:

voice of the young woman.
"And another pity you don't kne W

you you're a little simpleton if ye'

And then Mrs. Admington hung up
the receiver with rap that almost
broke the hook.

it will. Next time catch her on my
