that story was essential to picture.

Those who like novelty viii find 1t

HAIR PuFFs AND cuRLs.
To Be Effective, They Must Be Care
fully Looked After.

Those little puffs and curls that
fashionable women are urged to wear
this season are charming, but why are
they not more careful about having
them an exact match? They are often
seen totally unlike the natural hair OF
the wearer, and lose all their charm
by this horrid mistake, which is par
ticularly in evidence out of doors.
They never can be worn many weeks
without having them rearranged and
touched up at the hair dresser's, for as
they are not growing hair. no matter,
how exquisite they may be they can
not hold live color long.
After some women have once had
them charmingly arranged on the hair
with graceful reference to both hair
and hat, they do not know how to do
1t for themselves, and wear them at
all sorts of wrong angles. They ought
always to lie close, clingingly. against
the head and not bob off at odd places
haphazard. They must never be worn
with uncurled locks. for the inference
is too marked. Placed just right, they
may be distractingly alluring-but,
placed all wrong, they are horrors.

Evidently President Kingsley Of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tions. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his elec-
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations

Best of all, perhaps. he feels that

At first thought some one had fallen
into the river. But the shout had not
come from below. could be sure OF
this, because on the opposite side OF
the Aare was a narrow esplanade.
Benches were placed at intervals. and
there were beds of flowers to break
the monotony of the gravel walk. The
esplanade was deserted but for one per-
son, woman, and she was seated, her
parasol shielding her from the sun
and from my view.
Again | heard the shout, ard still

mysterious cry was no longer re-

idly to the woman summing herself on

tiny shaft of light arrested my atten-

but IL seemed endowed with elfish in

And always in the direction of the

Then it darted about in circles, and

In Ginnhams.

Ginghams are in unusual request.
One of their prettiest phases is in the
popular jumper frock with stripes of
mixed colors going around instead of
crosswise. The plaid ginghams de-
serve a whole story to themselves.
They come in every sort of mixture
and color blend that the mind of wom-
an could lead her to call for. The silk
ginghams, too, have arrived at an ad-
vanced state of perfection, and the
woman who has not looked over their
range this season will do well to do
so, and do II soon, before the stock

Galleries Under the Sea.

At Cape Breton there are immense
colleries being worked under the
ocean. These submarine mines cover
a thousand acres, and are being in
creased steadily. The mines are en-
tered at the shore, and the operators
follow the vein beneath the water for
more than a mile. 1t might be ex-
pected that the weight CT the water
would force its way into the mine.
The bed of the ocean is as tight as
a cement cistern. A sort of fireclay
lines the submarine roof of the mine,
and the sediment above is held in
place and packed down by the water
pressure until there is not a crevice
nor drop of water from overhead.
