Invisible Hair Nets.

Smartest coiffures are now held in
arrangement by means of the invisible
net. Not the old fashioned device. so
named. which was once used to hold
the WATERFALL on the nape of our
grandmother's shapely neck, but 4
really invisible cover, which is so deli
cate of texture that it can be adjusted
over any kind of coiffure without in
the least betraying its presence.
Persons who have short hairs to
trick out of sight will find these nets OF
inestimable service in retaining the
troublesome locks in place. Light or
fluffy hair, which so readily becomes
disarranged while dancing or from con-
tact with the open air, may thus be
prevented from loOSening and destroy
ing the effect of the completed coiffure
Some of the new coiffures really re-
Quire the invisible net. no matter how
long and regular the strands of hair
may be. for among the new hair ar
rangements there are divisions and
breaks from the regular ripples of the
undulation. which make the net indis-
pensable. For instance. in some Golf
tureS shown, one notices the separately
arranged front portion of the hair.
This would be likely in the course of
an evening in ballroom or warm
dra hing room to become very much
discharged . it were not for the pro-
lection of the net. Most women prefer
to envelope the entire hair in this way,
but nets are sold in two sizes, and may
be used for covering any part Of the
coiffure.
Small, invisible hairpins, gold for
blond tresses and black for dark hair.
are used to attach the nets.
Where the hair is arranged low on
the neck, the net will also be found
useful to prevent the short hairs which
f7ufs,ra]lS grow cl6se to the ..nape"

VANITY OF VIRTUE.
Spartan Qualities That May Re Sublirnes

4 Spartan virtue seems 70 have the
Inherent quality Of making its possessor
4 forty -four-calibre bore Of tn" worst
sort. Take the man whose supreme IL
not only virtue lies in the fact that he
takes Il cold water bath every morning
the whole year round. YOU meet him
in the car. in the street, III the course
of business anywhere. and no matter
what the topic may be at the start. the
conversation is bound to include an
account-quite incidental. of course
of how on the frosticSt of mornings ne
frolics in the ice cold water just as it
comes from the hydrant.
Then there's the man who walks
down to his office every morning, rain
or snow, in sunshine and in storm. The
more distant his home from his office
the more he will talk about it, and he
will tell you that he has become so ac-
customed to it that the only time he
can get an extra thrill out of it is when
the streets are deep with snow and the
wind is blowing hurricane.
Heaven may forgive the man who
rises at ), summer and winter, spring
and fall. We never can The early
riser is not a criminal. simply because
the law does LIT designate his Offense
as a crime. But it is admitted that the
law has its defects. Nothing can ap-
proach the look OF superiority on the
face of the early riser. He has found
the only road to health or wealth. The
books he has read before breakfast
would. if collected in heap. make the
Congressional Library look small.
There are some who would place in

every wind that blows.

it would be simply sublime if its mod

Dress of a Princess.

To belong to a royal family does not
always mean that the children can
wear silks and jewels and laces every
day of their lives. The frugality eX-
ercised in the German imperial family
is well illustrated by an incident re-
lated by a writer in Everybody 5
Magazine.

ladies, was sitting on terrace in the

Cnnd Rnada and Autos

Whatever the reputation for recS-
lessness and disregard for the rights OF
the road which many automobile driV-
ers or "chauffeurs" have acquired, the
advent of the big car is undoubtedly
exerting a strong influence favorable
to good roads, an increasing influence
which may be exerted powerfully when
the time becomes ripe for legislative
assistance. An interesting experience
is related to me of roads and country
ways, by Mr.. Whitman Osgood, OF
Washington, who, with his wife, two
children and chauffeur" made a
round trip last fall to st. Louis in his
automobile. They went by the famous
old National road, passing through
Hagerstown, Maryland; Bedford,
Pennsylvania; Pittsburg. GAINESVILLE,
Columbus, indianapolis, Terre Haute,
etc. The greatest trouble Mr.. Osgood
encountered, however. was, as he
terms it, "the inevitable white horse y

seventy miles they are as level anu

They were simply fearful. We had

are the roads which cut through the

there were good farms; where the

devoid of energy and ambition. We

The Vast Field Of Southern Asia.--.
Nal. 1. II; Matt. s. IL; John
10. 16.
What Is known as Southern Asia
in our missionary work embraces all
of India, Bombay, Bengal, Burma,
Malaysia, and the Philippine Islands.
There are eight Mission Conferences
and Missions in this field. Nearly or
quite two hundred thousand dollars
are annually expended here by the.
Parent Board, besides large sums by
our Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety. India alone Is vast continent
containing three hundred millions OF
intelligent peoples. This Is in many
respects the most promising and sue
cessful mission field Of the church.
Four missionary bishops have juris-
diction in this field. They are Bis
hops Thoburn, Warne, Robinson, and
Oldham.
India Is continent more than q
country, and contains one fifth Of the
population OF the world. Its people
belong to the Aryan race, like our
own, and are governed by the Anglo
Saxon. The people are philosophers.
and are mainly Hindus, Brahmans.
and Mohammedans. Nine tenths OF
the people live in villages averaging
three hundred and sixty to the VII
lage. Yet there are many great ana
populous cities. Great wealth exists
In many localities. Yet India Is so
many-sided that there are sixty mil
lions, so poor that they never went
to bed other than hungry. Our work
began in India in 1856 under the great
DR.. Butler. To-day we have four
great Annual Conferences, and nearly
one hundred thousand members ana
probationers. Christian colleges and
native preachers with rapidly ex-
pandfng work promise permanency
to this great church. The opportuni-
ties are exciting and the Responsible
ty appalling. Men and money In In
creasing streams should be poured In
to India this quadrennium. -
The Philippines is a most interest
ing field. Under the splendid work
of DR.. Stuntz and his fellow mission
aries, we have made most promising
showing in these islands. The
Aglipay movement has opened the
way for Protestant work. With near
" ten thousand members there now
we may expect to rapidly increase
during the present quadrennium. In
harmony with the plans Of the Evan
gelical Union we limit our denomina-
tional work to certain districts. we
have equal privileges in Manila with
other churches, and to the north the
choicest parts Of Luzon. The island
of Mindonao has opened to US. one
of the most hopeful OF our MISSION
fields Is in the Philippine Islands.

To Get Rid of Superfiuous Flesh.

M0St persons VINO are 100 STOUT NdNc
two peculiarities; they have good appe-
tites and a disincination for a great
amount of exercise. says William 5.
Birge. VI. D.. in Good Housekeeping.
1t is said to be almost impossible for
any one to accumulate a large stock OF
adipose tissue if really active eXertion
in proper amount is made every day.
Stout people begin to exercise in
various ways. and are so possessed
with the idea that they wear them
selves at the beginning; they are con-
sequently unable to continue: they
drop back into inactivity. on the plea
that they really cannot endure so much
eXertion.
Many stout persons. women es-
pecially. find Objectionable fatty tissue
accumulating about the waist line. 1t
is this fact that gives them the keen
discomfort. 4 fat figure may be got
ten rid of in very short time if the
owner is willing to make the effort
The important point is to educate the
muscles. Many women seem to have
no knowledge Of the existence of the
abdominal muscles. To get rid of an
unpleasant bulkineSs, it is necessary
to 90 through simple muscular move
mentS.

Then lie down on the blanket. If

position. II it is uncomfortable use

the hands together under the back Of
the head and straighten the body out.
extending the muscles of the legs as
straight as possible. Then begin by
taking long breaths; after this try to
contract the muscles of the abdomen.
At first maybe there will be no effect
perceptible, which is in itself the most
conclusive evidence of the need Of such
exercise. Five minutes Of effort at
the outset is all that is wise to take
without an interval Of rest. If there
is abundance of time, lie still on the
blanket for little while, put the feet
close together, keep the head fiat on
the floor and resting on the clasped
hands, then try to raise both feet at
one time from the blanket. Do not
move the body, simply lift the feet, if
possible. Very likely the attempt will
prove failure.
I know a woman who tried twenty
five times before she was able to raise
her feet six inches from the floor.
After the effort has proved successful
release the hands from under the head
and let them rest gently on the abdo-
men, then lift the feet and observe the
contraction of the muscles under the
hands; the higher the feet are raised
the more rigid these muscles become.
AS soon as practice enables one to
contract these muscles readily, study
the structure of the body and try to
move all of the internal organs inte-
pendently Of each other. This is possi-
BILE, muscles of which one never even
suspected the existence.s
A few months of this kind Of train
ing, with diet carefully selected and
reasonably restricted, will do wonders
in the way of reducing corpulence.
