A local pessimist used to reiterate with
as badly as on the day after he had had
one. There was a basis of truth in this,
from the reason that many people who
are closely confined try TO do too much
the moment they are free to enjoy them
selves. They rush from scene to scene
and from one diversion TO another
literally tear around"-use up their ner-
vous force, and instead of coming back to
their work with buoyancy and enthu-
siasm are languid and disspirited. DR..
Buckley. in the New York Christian Ad-
vocate, breaches the doctrine of "go
slow" to this class Of people. He says:
II we had six days and no more for a
vacation we should do nothing the first
day but sit about in the open air or
ride on the deck of a steamboat along a
beautiful river or fish awhile in a shaded
stream, keeping silence. avoiding per-
sons who want 10 argue or tell hundred
times told tales. The next day we
should employ ourselves for three hours
in walking or in golf or any other game;
the third day we should climb a noun
tain, If one were within reach; on the
fourth wander about without any
special exertion; do anything that was
proposed by any one on the fifth day;
and nothing that did not practically
do itself on the sixth. One who pursues
such a course viii improve mentally and
physically, and return without stiffness
Of the limbs to his routine.

Waving the Hair

Waving the hair is a distinct art,
said fashionable hair dresser but
it can be learned. The hair should be
thoroughly dry, and the curriers' should
be slipped into the locks carefully.
The tongs should be heated until they
are not quite hot enough to scorch.
Il put the tongs in the hair, clasp
them tightly give them a little twist
and wait while 1 count sixty. It is
tedious. but Il pays in the long tun,
for the hair done in this way will stay
in wave a very long time:
There are various hair curling
fluids that are good. Glycerine and
water used to dampen the hair will
give it a stiff wave; alcohol will give
It glossy tight wave, but it is apt
to make the hair gray IL it is applied
to the roots.
The old-fashioned ounce seed To-
ton, consisting Of ounce seed stewed
IN water. will give a rather heavy
wave, which is becoming to some
faces and there are other preparations
many of which are sold at the drug
stores, that are exceedingly good.
The whole secret lies in curling the
hair slowly The hair dressers take
forty-five minutes to wave your hail
and fifteen minutes to curl your bangs
and the home hair dresser cannot hop,
to do it in less time. She will fine
that her efforts will prove q failure Il
she attempts to get through it any
