NY Dear Cousin:

This week l visited the hair-dressing es-
tablishments and never before have the
styles been pretty. They are simply
dear. Everybody is wearing the Marcel
wave 1t Is becoming To any one and is
the most natural artificial wave we have
ever had l said everybody was wearing
il, but il they cannot get that they at least
have their hair curled. 1t Is so softening
to the face that no one wears the hair
straight any more.
There are SO many different styles Of
hair dressing and with each style some
pretty new effect In the combs. | imag CINE
the cornet braid would be wonderfully be-
coming 10 you. Possibly you know 1t as
the rope twist. 1t may be worn either
parted or pompadour, but it is usually pref
tier pompadour. If there is sufficient hair
tucked under, the hair Is got together high
and fastened with a rubber band. Then the
strand is either braided or twisted and
formed on top of the head Just Ike a
crown. Here the comb Is worn in front,
and the effect is charming. Plain gold
bands for the side and back combs are
fascinating with this style. l saw an ele-

that CRIME and dust accommodating on the
surface Of the leaves and stalks stop the
delicate pores of the plants. If house
plants and ferns are put in d tub of wa ter
and given bath for about two hours once
in two weeks they are greatly benefited.
After Washing Hair Brushes
They can be Quickly and thoroughly dried
without iniuring the bristles by brushing
A., them briskly with a whisk broom, and there
is no better way to dry the hair after it has
beer washed than to hold up a few strands
at time and with a small whisk broom
fan it, letting the broom act at the same
time as a comb, gently drawn through 1t.
This method is a good substitute for sun
light, which can neither be had TO order

The Chatting Dish

Is not so impra cticable an accompaniment
on the trip with your children TO your coun-
try home as it might seem to be on first
thought. The natural wonder would arise
as to whether rarebit and lobster newherg
would be added to the nursery menu and
midnight suppers find favor out among ma
lures beauties. The real service of this
new acquisition in the wilderness must be
tried to be appreciated.
The usual kitchen convenience at such q
place IS Il wood stove, and while under
some circumstances it Is most satisfactory,
trouble and dirt are involved in the start
ing.
An unavoidable and convenient part Of
the household economy Of a small family IS
the disposition OF the tid-bits which may be
used in many tasteful ways for luncheons

use the stove to prepare an appetizing meal

Happiness

As usual thing means health. and health
is the greatest aid to beauty. and so the
average woman should know the rules of
happiness. The woman who is happy all
over is blessed, indeed. Women do those
things which they ought not to do and leave
undone those things which they ought to
do, and have no health in them. Then they
grumble rather than beseech mercy for their
past sins and impore strength of character
to enable them 10 live right.

why One brother Remained outsid

William e. Mason, who recently re-
turned from an eastern trip, is telling
story about two country merchants
he met during his travels. The men
were brothers, we'll along in years,
and among the most prosperous citi-
Zens of their county. One of the broth
ers was moved not long ago to believe
that he should join the church. Neither
had ever paid attention to religious
affairs, but stirring evangelist had
finally aroused the elder man to feel
that the church was where he be-
longed. He endeavored to persude his
brother to join the church with him,
but whenever the subject was men
toned the brother always waived the
subject and would not discuss the mat
ter. Finally, the elder brother said
one day: John, why don't you join
the church if l do?" "Well, Bill, l
might as well tell you You go ahead
and join the church; but if l join it,
too, who's going to weigh the wool?'
