This is all very well, but Niagara
still leads in the impressiveness' of it's
proportions. The Zambesi falls ara
two miles wide, four times the width
of Niagara. In order to preserve the
relative proportions Of the latter the
African falls should therefore be four
times its height, or 632 feet.
Its real height of 420 feet is less
than three times that of Niagara.
This changes its relative proportions
decidedly and not in way to increase
its impressiveness.

able DRESSING.

"No, puffs are not dying out in the
least" said a city hair dresser when
questioned on this all-absorbing prob.
lem of the matinee girl They've
grown more natural, that's all. Wom-
en- say they don't mind having people
know that they wear false puffs, but
still they are giving up the stereo-
typed rows of sausage-like puffs that
might as we'll have had the price mark
on them as far as naturalness goes.
Zone way that this natural effect is
gained is by building a foundation of
puffs made of ones own hair.
ITO puff the hair take a small strand
and comb it out to the ends; then
rough the very tips of the strand and
begin to wind the strand Of hair
around the two forefingers until near
the head. This will give a smooth
ruff If it is done in the correct way,
and even small amount of hair will
make fair sized puff.
"Five or six of these puffs are
enough to begin to build the outer
layer on. There is one thing to re-
member in dressing the hair in this
fashion, and that is, that while the
puffs follow decided line in general
they are not fastened on in tight little
rows or in any stiff and regular way.
When finished they should look soft
and loose and the mass should form
conical shaped knot with tendrils
and curls here and there to break up
the regularity that puffs alone might
make.
"The number of false puffs required
to make fashionable dressing de-
ponds to some degree on the size of
the head they are to adorn. Eight or
ten will usually give good effect with
the average amount of hair. In ad-
justing them great care should be
taken to see that they do not look
heavy and massed. The end of the
knot particularly should have a light
and fluffy appearance.
"Pompadours are matter of taste.
The best coiffured women regulate
their hair by the hat they wear. A
good many women are following the
English style lately, low on the fore
head and the pompadour wider at the
side, while the top is arranged in
three slightly marked sections. They

Four Ounces Of Coolers and One Fruit
Meal a Day Recommended.
DR.. Thomas j. Allen, the man who
lived sixty days on peanuts, declares
that the peanut is "a safe, substantial
and valuable article of diet" Yet he
does not advise every one to cling to
COOLERS alone.
''The exclusive peanut diet" he says
in the Vegetarian, may do much
harm. The PEANUT is loaded. 1t is a
highly concentrated diet 1t contains
Is per cent albumen, which is at least
twice as much as one doing vigorous
mental work should eat.
"The first week lost ten pounds as
a result of the sudden change, even
though had tested foods before by
exclusive dieting of three or four days.
The news was heralded that the
peanut man Yves losing flesh rapidly,
but was as we'll physically and mental

to pour in from every state. How do
you eat peanuts to reduce your
weight; raw or roasted?

Towels in colors.

The new fad Of embroidering towels
in colors has several things to recon-
mend it aside from the fact that it is
a relief from the plain white work
which has been the fashion SO long.
One advantage is that the towels can
be embroidered in colors to match
the furnishings Of the room, a point
that commends it to many women.
Then it offers variety in treatment
for the same colors can be used in
many ways. The stitches used are va.
rious, the Wallachian and satin stitch
being favorites. Care should be
taken not to choose cotton to work
with, as it will fade. The best Of
silks only should be used.

a great convenience to people Of the

in some localities where the coun.
try is rough or heavily wooded 1t is
impossible to convey the signals from
one point to another by the usual
methods Of flags or other visual sig
mails. It is then the telephone is
brought into play.
Each detachment of signal corps
men is equipped with field telephone
attachment. It requires the work Of
but a minute or two to connect this
attachment with fence wire and to
get into direct communication with
headquarters.
"The use of the fence wire for tele.
phone communication obviates the
necessity of constructing temporary
field telephone lines by the signal
corps. It sometimes happens that
a little difficulty is encountered in
using the wires on account of some
poor connection or break, but it usu.
ally does not take long to discover
and remove the cause Of the trouble.
ION some of the big ranches straight
lines of wire fence fifty TO seventy.
five miles long are frequently found.
These afford excellent opportunity for
military field service.
GAS a matter Of necessity all ranch
fences must be keut in good repair
To do this fence riders are constantly
employed"

thought that the presence of Christa-
bel in tae house, her knowledge of
these crimes, and the fact that she
YVES in love with Forde were in the ma
ture of a Providence that not only
suggested restitution, but also indicat-
ed that it might in some manner be
through Ch.istabel that restitution
was to he made.
