LACE AND RIBBONS NOT
FOR BUSINESS OFFICE

Openwork waists and short sleeves
are quite perfect in their place, but
they are distinctly among the "frills'
of feminine life, and nothing Of that
kind has any place in business. a
stenographer at her machine dressed
in laces and ribbons is so incongruous
as to be almost if not quite ridiculous.
Such a mode is a distinct challenge
for attention. and a well-bred girl does
not go in for this sort of thing during
business hours if she wishes TO have
the respect of her employer and those
with whom she comes in contact down
town.
Business is business, and a girl
should dress for it. and styles selected
should neither be uncomfortably
warm nor too plain. To the contrary,
she may challenge attention of the
right sort by her perfect understand
ing OF what she should wear, how to
wear it and a general air of smart
ness.

WOMANKIIlD
HOW TO CARE FOR
CHILDREN'S HAIR

Two women and a little girl sat in
front Of me on the open car this morn
ing The women were very elaborately
dressed for such an early hour-but in
New York one gets used to seeing wo-
men dressed as for a garden party at
Q in the morning. The little. girl was
also painfully conscious Of her pretty
clothes, but her face looked tired and
haggard and as if she had been up
very late the night before. one of the
women, evidently her mother, began
talking about her. taking the entire
car into her confidence in large and
hearty way, says the New York World.
Gracious, but it's hotl If this wea-
ther keeps on 1 don't know what 1 shall
do with Gertie's hair. You know, it
won't curl naturally. and 1 just simply
won't have a girl with straight hair.
I don't think they're the least bit cute
when their hair doesn't curl, do you?
Besides, 1 want Gertie to match me,
don't you know, though, of course, my
hair is marcelled, too; but, then, it
would curl If 1 let it. At least Gustave,
the hairdresser, says So But of course,
with Gertie's hair, I have to do it up
over curriers' at night. She says it isn't
comfortable. but it's the only way to
make it look crimpy, and it's much more
becoming when it's crimpy than when
it's straight, and with those fluffy hats
children simply ought TO have curly
hair, don't you think so? My, but it's
hotl"
And mamma ratified on merrily, while
poor little Gertie bent her tired head
against the back of the car seat. Nc
wonder she had looked exhausted
Fancy trying to sleep with a wreath OF
hard, knobby curriers' around your ach-
| ing headl Also the famous humidity
was getting in it's deadly work and
slowly but surely unrolling her curls
In few minutes she would be straight
OF hair and natural again, and the sac
rifice Of a nights sound sleep, which
means so much to a child, would have
been in vain.
And the moral of this tale is that il
| Is more important for your child tC
be comfortable than curled in hot
weather. If you insist on having q
curly y-headed youngster, the time &c
begin the cultivation of curliness is just
after the first down on a baby's head
has turned into hair that an unpreju-
diced stranger can see. When bathing
and dressing the child, and at odd mo-
ments moisten the hand a little with
soapy water and rub the hair back
from its natural way Of growing II
there is any tendency to curliness this
will develop and strengthen that
inclination.

FOR YEAR
RECOVERED HER NECKLACE.

ST LOUIS, Aug. 17.-Mrs. Hamilton
P. Prather recovered a necklace worth
$1,000 which she lost a year ago, by
watching the jewelry worn by women in
a city of 100000 inhabitants. At that
she found it by the light Of a street
lamp.
Mrs. Prather saw the heirloom on the
neck of a fashionably gowned woman,
snatched it from her throat and called
the police. The other woman, Mrs.
George A. Menkel, declared her husband
had bought the necklace for SIS from
a stranger. He knew it was worth
much more, but thought the transac-
tion legitimate. No charge was made
against her
The necklace was bought in Rome
seventy years ago. Seven medallions
of pure jet. each contain mosaics of
porcelain with miniature paintings of
Roman ruins.

THE SECRET OF
LOOKING YOUNG

Most women. IL they were asked by
a fairy godmother to choose three
gifts she would bestow, like the old
story Of our childhood. most probably
would demand wealth. beauty, and
perpetual youth. At all events. what
ever else they did not desire. they
would certainly value the durability
Of a youthful appearance
No one seems to be careful enough
In keeping control over the appear

and look serious. thereby implanting
wrinkles and lines. which once come

with a lietle trouble and forethought
these signs of age need not be inn
planted for some years.
Pose and expression have a great
deal TO do with youthful appearance,
and. having realized what i'm these is
most useful in retaining juvenility, our
advice is to follow it closely. Look

TO massage the wrinkles. when they do

necks the wrong direction we implant

the girlish appearance which all de-

that woman IS as old as she looks.
The more sprichtly a woman is the

her, the younger she seems. She must
move with an elastic atep, and there
Is great art OF sitting and rising in
a youthful fashion. AS age approaches
one has to struggle for equilibrium, so

way that one does not lose ones ball

retaining elasticity Of movement. One
must remember that one cannot keen

Women are so ant to look in their

ADMIRALS DRINK TO DEWEY
His Health Drunk i'm Wine from De-
canter Formerly Property of
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-Admiral George
E. Dewey is 20 years old today. He is in
splendid health and robust in physique.
Among his callers we're a number of those
who attended the admirals birthday dinner
last week, which was advanced in date
because President Roosevelt expected TO be
in Pine Knot, Va, tonight. The callers
recalled a happy toast which he proposed
when they drank TO the health of the ad-
miral. 1t was as follows:
ITO the man who has done more for and
reflected greater glory on America than
any other man now living"
The toast met with hearty response from
those surrounding the admirals table.
At the meeting Of the Naval Relief as
sociation the admiral was presented with
two silver ink wells. The health Of the
admiral was drunk from a decanter con-
tanning Madeira wine of the vintage Of
iS47. The dscanter was formerly the prop
erty Of George Washington and Surgeon
General van Reipen. who made the pre-
sentation, said il was eminently fitting that
the health Of the other George Nnom we
all love" should be drunk from the same
decanter.

When he found that the law, written and

himself TO the care of the nurses. He
heard his physicians say that If he lived
another day there was hope for him. He
shook his head. They pretended not 10
notice and left him in the charge of a
nurse, with soothing lotions to quiet his
pain.

brought on tetanus was a compound frac-
