LATEST IN COMBS.

The latest fashions for milday's
combs and hair decorations are exam
pies of extreme styles and dainty nov
elites. The comb question has been
brought to the front by the appearance
of combs of all colors and to match
any shade of hair. They are being in
trodueed in such exquisite designs that
women who can afford them are hav-
ing a set to match every one of their
gowns. First of all come the white
ones. They, perhaps, have become the
least bit common, and yet they are ex-
tremely becoming. Now that they
have been brought forth, studded with
precious stones, they simply cannot be
resisted by those to whom these sort
of things appeal. Many women are
Affecting the fad for wearing as many
combs as their hair will hold. and by
this arrangement it costs considerably
more than It did previously. The little
pins used TO catch the stray locks are
daintily chic and among the latest are
those studded with turquoise to take
the appearance Of three yiolets care
iessly placed. AS for bows and such
like they are perhaps the same as they

FRAMED IN AMERICA.

The wife of marshal, the Marquis
Oyama, the generalisslmo of the Jap
anese army, is an American by edu-
cation ana training, although not by
birth. The Japanese Government sent
large number of able and intelligent
Japanese lads to foreign countries to
study western civilization forty years
ago. They also sent a proportion of
girls OF good families to foreign lands
in order that they might be fitting
companions of the afterlife of the edu-
Gated young men. One of these girls
is now the Marchioness Oyama. She
Is known as charming woman Of in
telllgence, and fitting companion TO
her capable husband. The little girl
attended school for seven years, and
then entered Vassar College, and took
her degree of 3. A. in 1881. Her es-
say was "The Policy of Great Britain
Toward Japan" 1t attracted n good
deal Of attention from its ability and
from its prophecy that Japan would
force the world to recognize her as one
of the leading civilized nations.

UNIQUE COLLAR ROX.

Another useful present is the collar
box. A new style has a tiny box set
in the middle of the top, for the recep-
tion of collar buttons and cuff links.
To make one, cover wide band of
paste-board with silk and sew the
edges together. Make a smaller band
in the same fashion and then cut cir
Gle of cardboard to At the bottom of the
larger band, cover that and sew the
smaller band 20 the centre of the bot
tom, and the larger one to the edges.
The collars fit around one and the cuffs
around the other circle. The card
board must be stiff enough to keep its
shape.
A lid is made by cutting a circle a
shade larger than the bottom, covering
that and narrow band to sew around
its lower edge, and then sinking a
small round or square box in the mid
die. A small cover for this is made
and sewed in one spot and tied with
a bow, which forms hinge, and a lit
tie brass knob, or fancy button, tied
with bow, forms handle to the top.

IDEAL WIVES.

What is an ideal wife? How many
times has this question been asked,
and how many times has it been un-
successfully answered? Perhaps no
one person could explain the qualities
of an ideal life. partner because, per-
haps, of different ideas expressed on
this matter by those who would like
to possess one. AS the years go by
women are taking interest in all that
concerns their country, their loved
ones and their own selves, and, pos
sibly, this advancement has something
to do with the lack of home ties which
is becoming more prevalent every day.

the cause might be attributed to their
love of other places outside of the fire.

self-denying female is not in such
strong evidence as formerly, but why

there any plausible reason why she

SALADS AND HEALTH.

1t used to be considered very
Frenchy and foreign to have salad
with dinner or luncheon. Americans
as whole wanted regularly their just
deserts, and green leaf or two more
or less counted for very little.
In the Pie Belt pastry was the nee
essary garnish for every meal. Down
South there were always famous pud-
dings for the complete eplcure, and IL
o salad was served at all decade ago,
it was ponderous meat affair Of
which an entire indigestible meal was
made. /
But to-day we are wiser and sad
der nation. Pies and puddings have
wrought out their own punishment,
and everywhere the dyspeptic microbe
is lurking in our midst, seeing what
comfort and joy he may devour. We
have paid heavily because we scorned
the green leaf to tighten our meals
and sweeten our digestion.
And why not? Once you awaken
an American womnn's interest in any
thing-clothes, outdoor sports or foods
and straightway she sets about to
excel. She makes the smartest clothes
and is the finest sportswoman and the
best cook in the world.
This craze for greens has partly
come about through travelling abroad
where salads are such an important
article of diet, and partly through
their widespread recommendation by
physicians.
But you must bear I'm mind that by
salads are meant fresh green things
from the garden or dollhouse, lettuce,
endive, escarOl, cabbage, celery, chives,
onions, fruits. and not meat soaked in
oil or hard egg sauce.
Some of the most delicious Ameri-
can salads are fruits and vegetables
mixed, and served with cream dress
ing. And oranges are delicious with
celery and mixed nuts, but this would
be a shade richer than a dyspeptic
would require.
One reason, possibly, that Americans
were slow to acquire real relish OF
salads may have been because of the
fear of devouring insects and microbes
along with green leaves. 1t seems so
difficult to get anything that is un-
cooked thoroughly, hygienically whole.
