Very French as to ingenuity are the
new hairpins especially designed to
fasten the hair up under the brim OF the
hat so that no hiatus shall be seen be-
tween the two. Few months have passed
since the fashion OF fastening the hair
10 the hat was begun. but even IN this
short time some clever Frenchman has
realized and seized the possibility OF
prohting by this new invention which
so perfectly meets all requirement. The
pin is OF gilt. and thin, one side being
exactly similar 70 any other waved hair
pin, and the other, only half its length
very sharply pointed and straight The
latter pins the hair TO the hat and the
former slips through the carefully waved
locks TO lift them Into proper position.

How NOT to Grow Old

Growing old is not a condition to be
dreaded. Youth IS delightful and fun

loss should be bemoaned A woman
who wishes may gain attractiveness

be far pretter, more delightful and en-
pertaining than at twenty. This is the
working Of the eternal law OF averages
that never fails If one win only put It
into operation. Only one must under
stand the situation and the law and
abide by It accordingly, remembering
that there is no gain without loss, and
that to achieve ore must work
To grow old gracefully IS an art, and
to step into middle age successfully Is
a triumph, says the New York Evening
Telegram. II IS women who do this
Of whom one hears say she Is better
looking than when she was a girl" or
IS lever so much nicer than when she
was young" Every woman may be
this by developing attractions which a
girl can never have.
The original mistake that many women
make as they feel their youth going
IS 10 fail 20 bring out the next set OF
attractions Mere youth Is pleasing,
and because OF it much IS overlooked
condOned or ignored. ''She is a pretty
girl some one says, and forgives the
evidence Of bad temper.
But they viii admire more a woman
OF middle age who has learned TO con-
troll her temper and to show sweetness
and self control when youth would fly
into a rage.
A middle-aged woman who has
learned from life as she has gone on IS
infinitely more attractive than a girl
The former has gained sweetness ana
strength In trial.

happenings on an evening before an i'm

Belt. lay dreaming that he was in action
on the field, and dashed out a mighty
kick at the dream ball. His foot struck
the iron bedstead and two toes were
broken. He was unable 10 play on the

Not long after his clamor had been
subdued two other players apparently
got the idea in their dreams that a third
member Of the team was an official who
had made an unfair decision. They
arose IN their sleep and almost smoth-
cred the other with pillows.

la will do wonders in a short time.
