An Endless Chain.

Sometimes the simplest little aids
will make marked difference in a
woman's appearance. For instance, one
whose hair is unmanageable can find
that by applying a mixture of one tea
spoonful Of gyclerine to five times as
much water to loose ends of tresses,
these short strands stay neatly in place.
In putting on the mixture it should be
well shaken and then applied to the
hair with soft brush just before the
dressing.
The coiffure is then done up in the
usual way and the hair should lie in
place without having a stick or oil
look
When short hairs are obstinate, the
best method of training is to put them
on curriers'. Afterwards they should be
combed out until soft and fluffy
If soft curriers' are used they may be
scented with perfume so that they will
impart to the hair a delicate fragrance
after contact of hours.
There may be few drops of any per-
fUme put into the gyclerine and water
solution, but the greatest care should
be taken not to have the effect strong.

About the Hat,

There is set of rules about hats
and their wearers that should be rig
idly followed.
If woman has thin face and is
inclined to be sharp featured, let her
beware of hats that go up off her face
This kind of hat only tends to out
line her defects and she should choose
hat that is brought we'll forward.
Her hair, too. Should be loosely ar
ranged and never drawn back in a plain
fashion. Sharp or smart hats should
be always avoided and fancy edges
adopted
If one has features that look good
at casual glance but will not bear
inspection, a hat crushed in and pulled
out with many corners and angles will
be her most becoming design.
This tends to mystify and one finds
herself unwilling to investigate-the eff
feet is too good to unbalance
A small face should deal warily with
the picture hat. 1t is very liable to
have its saving graces drowned in the
depths of the enormity and should
never be attempted by any one who
has not the height sufficient to carry.
A well formed face can show off most
any model, and it is with this sort of
face in view that most designs are
created.

When Lord Archibald Campbell fell
in love with Miss Janet Callander and
went to his father, the Duke of Argyll,
for his approval of the engagement,
the duke said:
I'm delighted. Nothing could be
DelteT, DuI-eT-eT-naQn you better
let me speak to Lorne? He might think
we ought to consult the princess"
So to his brother, the Marquis of
Lorne, now the Duke of Argyll, they
went, and he certainly thought that his
wife should be consulted as to who
should be admitted into the family.
IF Archie likes her, she suits me
down to the ground" said the princess
impulsively, but you know I think
ought to speak to the queen
Her late majesty graciously approved
of the match.
But, Louise, 1 think I ought to con-
suit our German cousin first" she said,
and accordingly wrote to the German
emperor. The kaiser, the present en-
peror's grandfather, remembered hav-
ing met Miss Callander and approved
of the match, but left his letter open
because he did not care to answer fl
nally without consulting Bismarck. The
kaiser found his chancellor and telling
him Of the proposed alliance, asked
what he thought Of it. When his SOW
ereign had finished, Bismarck blew a
cloud of smoke and replied:
Me? Oh, I don't care a hang"

from abroad gives this simple explana-

When it gets really hot, there are
few simple ways of cooling off the

When it is very enervating and 1 have
work to do, don't hesitate to go about
with wet cotton behind my ears. A
piece of cotton dipped in cold water
and placed behind the ears so that it
touches the big artery will cool one
off wonderfully. drop or two of
ammonia may be added TO the water
in which the cotton is immersed, and
will make one feel deliciously refreshed
When the nights are very hot and

hot-water bag filled with cold water

will cool one and induce sleep and for
