The girl with thin hair should avoid
this style. as it emphasizes needIessIy

r. HERE is a story told of a young
man. who, when he came TO
i marry-or, rather, to propose
marriage-lntended to ask but
one question of the lady Of mis- choice.
That question was; do you always
wear your hair the same way?-' II
the answer was in the affirmative. her
fate was settled
There is good deal beyond this seem
ingly arbitrary and unjust discrimina-
ton. The girl. who never changes is
the one who does not grow. Always

ethics. remain undeveloped and imIta-
tive, as are ner mode Of attire and of
hairdressing.
Perhaps this is too serious a view Of
the subject. and one that will not ap-
peal to the practical minds Of the read
ers OF this page. Here. then. is an even
more potent reason for the non-vision-
airy: 70 change the style Of the couture
In summer is the surest, and indeed the
only. way to insure GOODNESS.
No matter how light her clothes, no
girl or woman can feel comfortable on
a July day with heavy pompadour
adjoining the front and heavier coil
at the back Of her head Without, then
considering the philosophical effect Of
change upon her mentality. let her re-
solve today to adopt for the next few
months a cooler mode of hair dressing
than she now affects.
1t Is by no means necessary that sim
plicity should involve dowdiness. Every
one OF the styles here illustrated is
pretty, as well as easy TO arrange, and
the only difficulty is in the choice Of a
coIffure that will suit ones face and
the shape Of ones head.

Over Blouse OR hummer.

Fresh variations of the over waist
are constantly appearing, and the
fashion is altogether such a graceful
and charming one that its favor
seems likely to be indefinitely proi
longed. Here is one of the very sim
plest yet most effective that includes
the mandarin or kimono sleeves, and
that can be made either with a "
shaped or square opening. AS illus
trated it is made of pongee with silk
braid and heavy applique, and is
worn over lace guimpe, but one of
the many advantages of the waist of
this sort is that 1t allows the use of
any guimpe that may be found in the
wardrobe or of any preferred style,
while the waist itself is adapted to
almost every seasonable material.
For immediate wear the pongees,
light weight silk, veilings and the
like are exceeding popular, while
little later washable fabrics so made
will be equally smart.
The blouse is made in one piece
there being under-arm seams only,
and is drawn on over the head, the
fulness' being regulated at the waist
line by means of tapes. The V-shaped
opening is apt to be very generally
becoming, but the square one also

An Aerial Proneller.

An aerial propeller working on a
novel system has been invented by
Major Hoernes, an aeronaut, says the
Cologne Gazette. In his new contriv-
ance the inventor takes advantage of
the fact that the screw to be used in
air has wholly different medium to
encounter to the ships propeller
working in water, since air is capa-
BILE of compression. He has, there
fore, made use of screw which is
driven in a series of impulses, and
not at one continuous speed, as is
usually the case. He affects this by
means of a system of screws, which
not only revolve round their own
axis, but also rotate round common
axis, planet fashion. The screw is
thus driven alternately fast and slow.
