New Flannel Waist.

The winter has developed taste
for simple flannel blouses. Two-thirds
of the morning and school garments
shown in the shops are in thin, striped
flannel or sparsely patterned delaines,
which fabrics have a smooth, firm, al
most hard surface that takes the
tailor finish exceptionally well. Also,
though light in weight, these fabrics
are warm and durable. They are
printed or woven in all the prevailing
shades, mauve, leaf green, violet and
blues. The figure or stripe appears in
color upon a cream, tan, ecru or mole
ground and, in fancy waists, the
color is further accentuated by the
addition of buttons, pipings, stitched
bands and braids.

THE STORY.

FULL three months had passed and
j no rain. The ground was parched
and dry, and even the choice pasture
lands of King Ahab began to fail, so
| that the herdsmen were anxiously
questioning whittier they should turn
to find good food and water for their
fiocks and herds.
Only that morning the head keeper
over the sheep had arrived with i. re-
ports of the growing severity Of the
drought, and Obadiah, the governor of
the royal household, had taken the
king word. Ahab listened with trou-
bled heart to the disquieting reports.
The brazen skies and the parching
ground had not escaped his eyes even
In the beautiful palace grounds at
JeZreel and the laugh of scorn with
which he had dismissed the prophet
Elijah three months before had given
place to one of apprehension and fear.
No rain had fallen since then. Would
the word of this "crazy Tishbite," as
he called him, really come true?
What would three years bring forth,
when already but three months had
passed and the land was even then
beginning to feel the lack of rain?
Ahab asked himself these questions
as he sat alone after Diminishing his
servant, and then rising impatiently
he went to the window and looked out.
How cruel the sun seemed as he
poured his whitening heat upon the
earth How brazen and empty the
sky. He searched Its blue, clear
depths from horizon to zenith in a
sort of desperate hope that he might
discover some vagrant cloud which
would give promise of the needed
rain.
Can the word Of this uncouth Gilead-
tie shut up the heavens that they give
no rain?" he angrily exclaimed.
"And is my lord the king content
to suffer such low-born fellow to
trouble him." spoke voice behind
him. There was q cruel, harsh con-
temptuous ring to the words as they
fell with accentuated intensity, and
Ahab turned suddenly to look into
the beautiful face Of his wife Jezebal

KEEP THE HAIR ALWAYS DRY.
Moisture Frequently Found to Be
Cause of Early Badness.

"If you don't want to be bald
headed before your time," said one hair
dresser, keep your hair dry. II 1t gets
wet accidentally be sure to dry it.
Take your hair down at least once in
the middle of the day and let it get
dry. 1t is moist from perspiration,
moist from the atmosphere, moist
from being confined under heavy hat.
1t should be dried. It will rest the
roots besides.
MANY women ruin their hair with
the curling iron. Yet the curling iron
is all right if it is not too hot and if
you keep it moving. The professional
hairdresser perpetually turns the iron
so that it does not rust the hair. Rust
is the term applied to that peculiar
reddish condition of the hair when it
has been curled too often with the hot
iron.
I'm advising my patrons how to
wash the hair ! say this: Take some
moderately hot water and spray the
hair once week. Use no soap. Then
dry it thoroughly. Hair takes three
hours to dry.
ITO wash the hair with soap take q
warm, pleasant morning when the sun
is shining. Have the room very hot
and treat the hair to its soapy bath,
using water at moderate tempera-
ture. Don't dash cold water on after
shampoo, as the sudden change
breaks the hairs"
