Doing the hair up does not mean
that the hair is actually arranged on
the top of the head The up is used
comparatively I'm contrast to the hang
ing bralds or curls worn by girls under
fourteen. In a general way the young
girls couture is following in the lead
Of the one adopted by fashionable
women. 1t suggests ever so slightly a
Grecian effect by reason of its full
ness at the back of the head.
A simple way to manage this style
of dressing is to roll the sides of the
hair back from the face, either from
middle part or straight back from the
forehead, and twist it altogether in
double loop, pinning the coils across
the head in u horizontal line.
Anything the least bit suggestive of
artifciality in a young girls hairdress-
ing Is not only inartistic, but borders
on the homogeneous. Naturalness is the
point aimed at, and a marcel wave, no
matter how cleverly it Is accomplished,
stamps any head with artifciality. AL
most all girls hair has a slight wave of
its own around the face, and this may
be encouraged by simple means, but
never by the iron.
Fancy hairpins, ornaments and combs

Why Naval Uniforms Are Blue.

Naval uniforms all the world over
pretty we'll are navy blue. The Brit
ish fashion in this matter has been the
rule with maritime people in general.
That blue was ever selected for the
kings naval service was a fortuitOus
happening. When in 1747 the ques-
tion of uniform was being considered
the color selected had very like to
have been French gray laced with sill
YER While the king was still not
quite decided he saw the Duchess Of
Bedford in a riding habit OF blue
faced with white and enlivened with
gold lace. 1t was revelation. Here,
the king declared, was the uniform for
his sea service officers, and no more
was heard Of French gray. The navy
took to blue, and every other navy has
taken to it since.-Pall Mall Gazette.

To the Working People This Food IL

Every one pictures the Italian as
eating macaroni. What if | tell
you that the Italians, taking them as a
people. do not eat macaroni, and yet
this is virtually true. Macaroni in Italy
costs 4 to 8 cents a pound, and it is
too costly for common use 1t is about
as accurate to say that the Italians
i've on macaronl as that the Ameri-
cans live on turkey. Macaroni to the
working italian is n luxury. You often
see young fellows on q holiday in
dulging in a dish I'm a restaurant or
before a street cook stand about as
Americans would eat ice cream. A
customary workman's dinner is q hunk
of bread broken apart and "buttered"
with a few traces Of tomato sauce. As
for meat, it is the greatest rarity, and
the only drink they can afford is wa
ter. which has the advantage of being

to them on account of the expense. In
all Italy we saw no one under the in

practically no smoking. The govern
ment has a monopoly Of the tobacco

ties direct in America and elsewhere

Remedy For Chokino.

Raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than the act of humping ones
back" said a physician. "and it is
we'll that every one should know 1t,
for often a person gets choked while
eating where there is no one near TO
thump him. Very frequently at meals
and when they are at play children
get choked while eating, and the Gus
tomary manner Of relieving them is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstruction
free. The same thing can be brought
about by raising the left hand Of the
child as high as possible, and the re-
lief comes much more quickly. In
happenings Of this kind there should
be no alarm. for if the child sees that
older persons or parents get excited
the effect is bad. The best thing is
to tell the child TO raise its left arm,
and Immediately the difficulty passes
away"

SEA BATHING.
The Effects Of Salt Air and Water or
the Human Body.

There is a reason why parents have
in all times and in all ages endeavored
to give their children the benefit Of sea
air and sea bathing. An Italian physi-
clan, Gerosa, tells about it:
1t is agreed, he says, that all living
organisms began their first existence in
salt water and that as a result the hui
man body land indeed every animal
body is largely made up of salt. If
you taste your blood or your tears,
which are the extract Of blood, you
will find that both are quite salt in
favor. More than this, however, every
living being possesses within his body,
in the cellular stage, ali those strange
marine organisms which we study so
curiously in museums. And, seeing.
says Gerosa, that the amount of sea
water contained in every body is equal
to one-third of that body's weight, it is
clear that in the enthusiastically rudi-
mentary form all known marine life
must be present in the blood. The re-
suit is that when we battle in the sea
or breathe the sea air we replace the
amount Of essential salt which is con-
stantly decreasing in the system and,
all unconsciously to ourselves, weak
ening It. Salt water, says Gerosa, is
really the main principle of life, since
it is the first condition Of existence
which the living organisms knew. 1t
is therefore always good for the body,
whether it be enjoyed at the seaside or
brought in bottles from the sea. In
particular is it very valuable in the
case of weakling children, and there is
no bodily stimulant so invigorating to
the very young as sea water.

Don't Be Discouraged.

Beginning a thing is easy. It's the
sticking to it that is difficult. The test
Of character is the ability to go on
and finish. 1t is a rare virtue and an
exceedingly valuable one. for, what
ever you have set yourself to do, there
will surely come a time Of discourage
ment, when you doubt If, after all, it
Is worth while. Look out for that

to turn back 1t is there that the dan
ger lies. 1t doesn't matter what your
work is-earning a living or making a
home or conquering a besetting sin
the disbursement is bound to come,
Don't give way to it. Be prepared for
It and make up your mind to keep on
