same in helping the Sufferings caused
by pestilence and to devise and carry
on measures for preventing the same,

Red Cross, by itself or in cooperation
with other societies. to carry out the
provisions of its charter. and thu
Maine branch intends to be as active
as any of the other of the various
branches. The whole country is in

ATTRACTIVE COIFFURES
FOR THE MOTHER

Two qualities mark the advance in
matters of dress which mothers in our
own day have made over those of pre-
ceding generations: One, the willing-
ness to adapt themselves to current
changes, is balanced by the second
their broad, sane conception Of what
is appropriate. We do not see our
matroas Unfortunately adopting
passing fancies in hairdress. Still less
are we likely to find them bearing In
their coiffures a reminder Of the styles
which were prevalent years back The
mother of to-day knows the import
ance of an attractive appearance in
maintaining her position of real inhu-
ence in the household and knows how
much her style Of coiffure has to do
with her appearance.
The style with hair parted IN front
and raised in slightly waved, loose
puffs above the temple is becoming to
the possessors of broad. low foreheads
A heavy coil worn high on the head
fills the outline of the coiffure. The
face must be studied carefully when
change in the style Of hair-dress is be.
ing contemplated. The rather high
pompadour makes a good frame for the
round, full face. while still another
type calls for the low pompadour. fol
lowing evenly the lines of the head
over to the back. where the coil is
placed low down. This is a generally
becoming style.
For some reason. or other profile and
three-quarter views are liable to be
neglected. They are really more i'm
portant than the full-face view, which
is always aided by the animation Of the
face itself Moreover. defects of the
profile can readily be minimized by ad-
iusting the hair with that end in view
The position as we'll as the size of thu
coil is invaluable for counteracting the
undue prominence Of any one feature.
In this connection. one heartily in
dorses the aid of a switch or puffs.-
The January Designer.
