sang at the EVENING STAR, then
the Newark Advertiser, band concerts
in the parks, and made a big hit from
the first. She was the first woman to-
sing at those concerts, which became
so popular that the city has continued
them ever since.
Miss Florede made her initial appear
ance at Military Park, where she sang
I'm the Good Old Summer. Time" with
such effect that the 10000 and more
people gathered around the band stand
were not satisfied until she sang the
song several times. Her next appear
anee was at the East Side Park, where
%, 900 people went in raptures over her
singing of the then popular songs
After that the managers of the con-
certs were asked to have the young
woman sing at every concert, and the
request was granted. Whenever her
name appeared among the list of vocal
lists at any of the concerts 1t always
meant an immense attendance at the
PARKS, and many letters of regret were
received at this office when the concert
season was over because of the pleas
ure derived from Miss Florede's
singing.

Paris and NEW York.

The president of the Association oil
Hairdressers of Paris declares tha'
there are about three hundred sep
arate and distinct fashions of dressing
the hair. of which New York women
use only about twenty. He thinks then
styles are too monotonous, and / sup
pose that by them he means women
all over the country.
Well, in regard to New York coiffure
styles, 1 think the casual observer III
walking along a crowded thoroughfare
will note but th~ree-puffs, more puffs
and most puffs.
There are pompadours of all sizes
and shapes, but all are surmounted
by puffs, sometimes six, sometimes
eight. and sometimes about eighteen,
reaching all the way around the head
One wonders where the craz for top
heavy coiffures will end.
In a sudden Teversion to parted SIM
plicity, / suppose, for women are bound
to become tired of the present styles
in a very short time.

A FUDGE TIP.

Do o have difficulty in making
fudge that is creamy, rich and smooth?
1t Is a common fault to make it granny.
These simple rules will assist you in the
work:
When it grains 1t proves that the
candy has overlooked The candy
should always be taken from the stove
the minute it makes a soft ball that
holds together when dropped in ice
water.
If allowed to cool longer the fudge
will be stiff. If less time it will be
sticky and tough.
Always use a wooden paddle or spoon
for stirring, as it permits of more vigor-
GUS whipping, which makes it lighter.
Beat just is long as possible before
turning the mixture into the WE'LL
creased pans.
Do not add the vanilla until the choc-
olate has slightly cooled, since the neal
destroys the delicate flavor.
Pour in the pan before the mixture is
too faky looking or it will not be
glazed on the top.
Fudge is excellent if dipped in thin
white fondant and rolled in ground
nuts.

ri don't think I'd ever be a success
in the business world. i've always re-
NAMED so close to home l would be at
a loss to know what to do" declared
a girl to a group of friends a few days
ago.
Now, l wonder if it isn't a great mis-
take for a woman to settle down too
closely TO home. To my way of think
ing it is one of the reasons why women
age more quickly than men, and should
looks, comfort and happiness.
Men have the stimulus of business
and the close contact with their fell
lows, and besides, they are saved from
monotony by the necessity of bread
winning. Some women have the same
advantages. too, but there is an army
of home women whose ambitions slow
ly die out for want of stimulation or
are centred in their sons and daughters
or even their brothers and sisters. 1t
is not fair to themselves, as in nearly
every case, all they ever reap is a har-
vest of neglect.
The larger ones circle of friends. the
better for their business interests, and
generally a personal benefit is derived
from the rubbing of elbows with nu-
merous persons. the exchange of ideas
and the variety of interests.
The whose life is bounded by
the family circle has no tangible con-
ISOLATION when bereft of her loved ones.
To grieve is natural to us all, but to
| grieve INCREASINGLY is MOI wholesome
To allow sentiment to rule ones life Is
to expose ones tender feelings to In
Vulnerable wounds. 1t is a waste that
can never be made up to anybody.
! / will never be able to understand
why so many mothers retire from So
clal life as soon as their children are
about to launch into it. 1t would seem
to me. that then was the time for them
to enjoy the companionship of theii
children and share the happiness OF
their young lives.
Don't deprive your children Of your
society. You may feel that you are adj
vancing In years; you may even tell
your friends that you are getting old.
II you have said SO, resolve never to
say it again; keep young, act young
and say you are young, and even II the
years do creep on, the brightness leaves
your eyes: and your step is not so sup
pie. your heart win be young, and that
is best of all.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
ENJOY "DOLLIE PARTY"

An unusual treat fell to the lot of
the little ones in the primary class of
st. Johns Parochial School in Null
berry street yesterday afternoon. AT
noontime they were instructed to- re-
turn early and bring with them their
dollies, and also their little brothers
and sisters, with their dollies. Full at

response was immediate. Precious rag
babies rubbed elbows with naughty
wax DANES possessing zeal hair" and
a squeaky papa" and mamma" and
all became more or less sticky with

happy little scholar trudged homeward
with a beautiful booklet as a souvenir
of the party.

Curling the Hair.

May pompadours go out of

great majority of women, softening the
outlines of ill-snaped foreheads, and
lettering the shape of the entire face
while parted hair is becoming only to
certain types.
When the hair is very straight it Is
possible to wave it without hurting il
in any way. if one but learns the knack
The secret lies in only moderately heat
ing the iron; winding the lock closely
around it. beginning at the top, and
then holding the iron in the hair for
almost a minute-about as long as it
would take you to count sixty. A
pretty, firm, glossy wave will be the
result.
When the curling iron is too hot the
oil in the hair dries quickly, and q dry,
stubby looking curl is the result.
