STYLE OF HAIR DRESSING.

Though it cannot be denied that
latest styles disguise it, for softer.
more natural looking couture is the
approved arrangement for midsum-
mer, says the New York Telegram.
The general discarding of hats upon
all occasions is. probably responsible
for the return of this. pretty fashion.
The "all-around-the-hea pompadour
and the stiff rows of curls, the neces-
sary support of the enormous hats;
are entirely obsolete, and reigning in
their stead are the graceful Psyche
knot, group of just a few small
puffs or an occasional curl pinned
down to the natural hair.
With these dressings there is a
considerable reduction in the size of
the mass of .tfesses viewed from the
back, but there is really no change in
the front, for the hair ground the face
shows even fuller, fiuffier effect.
One of the newest coiffures. is ey-
ceedingly girlish looking and will be
generally becoming. The front half
OF the halr is very SuSntly waved,
then brought back softly to the back
of the head, covering the tips of the
ears or not, as considered becoming
to the wearer. At the back it is ar
ranged in a knot, figure eight or any
way suggesting Grecian effects. With
this dressing side combs are not worn,
though q single comb set in to sup
port the knot of hair is very effective.
Below the knot the short hairs are
confined by barrette; not in the n:"-
row, simple bar, but beautiful piec4

HELPING WITH A WORD.

A young girl was passing her aged
great aunt one day when she sud
denly stopped, laid her hand gently
on the white head and said, How
pretty and curly your hair is. Aunt
Mary! I wish I had such pretty
hair"
The simple words brought a quick
flash of pleasure'to the wrinkled face
and there was joyous culver in the
brief acknowledgment of the spon-
taneous little courtesy.
A young man once said to his
mother: you ought to have seen
Aunt Esther to-day when remarked
casually, What a pretty gown You
have on to-day and how nice you look
in it. She almost cried, she was SO
pleased l hadn't thought before
that such little thing would be like
ly to please her."
Il never expect to eat any cookies
as good as those you used to make,
mother" said a bearded man one
day, and he was shocked when he saw
her, evident delight in his words, for
he remembered that he had not
thought to speak before for years Of
any of the thousand comforts and
pleasures with which her skill and
love had filled his boyhood.-He

A Sis...2LE SAFEGUARD IN BUY.
ING PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterantss.
Unless the property owner takes ad-
vantage of the simple means of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great
risk Of getting an inferior and adul-
terated white lead.
1t Is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that

makers of genuine Pure White Lead,
place their famous Dutch Boy Paint
er" trademark on every key Of their
product, an absolute guarantee of its
purity and quality. Anyone who wants
to make a practical test of white lead,
and who wants a valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma

The Senator's Model.

The model had sat, with the neces-
sary rests, for three hours in one
position, the pose of splendid Sena-
tor of Washington, elegant, aristo-
cratic. He had a fine head. He was
quite noted for that. He had been
model for illustrations OF. many he
roic figures.
But the model with the fine head
wore about the busiest suit OF
clothes you ever saw. His shoes
were down at the heel. His cuffs
were frayed. His collar stayed put
with difficulty, it was so old.
When the three hours were up he
gave sigh of relief, for posing is
hard work. There is no work hard
er. The artist drew forth his wad
and paid him. The model thanked
him with a grateful smile.
"He is down and out said the
artist when he was gone. He hadn't
a penny to get his lunch with.ss
And he looked at the picture he
had drawn of him as splendid Sena-
tor of Washington with complacent
smile of satisfaction with the fine
dignity of it.-New York Press.

there was a false hair in the whole

the remainder.
When Mrs. Hardesty married

her. When her husband died Mr..
Cammack sent word to his daughter

resume the place she left to become a
bride. She refused, and with the aid

The compromise, which was ap-

is effected in spirit of harmony,

years old, says that she will devote
large part Of the amount she is to
receive to charitable work.

AN UNEXPECTED MEETING

While living in Omdurman, the

Egyptian Sudan" noted a pathetic
incident which he gives as illustrat-
ing the distress of many families
during the Mahdi disturbances,
when thousands of women were wild
owed and thousands of children left
fatherless by the terrible battles.
We had woman carrying water
for the mixing of mortar. She was
as black as coal, but she had beauti-
full teeth, and at times, when her face
lighted with a smile, was almost
handsome.
But poverty had been her lote and
it was clearly manifest all over her
sbony, half naked body. She was
weak and ill nourished, and when
resting quietly had look of SORROW
and pain.

standing before the door when an
other woman, perhaps a little older
than she, but with the same black
and expression, came up and sud.

OF this JOY or grief, whichever it was,

them told me the story.

ried in Khartum and lived near each
other in the days of General Gordon.
Then came the Mahdi, and Khartun

or lost to them. They had been sep

men. Each had supposed the other
dead long ago. BY accident they had
met that day.

A COWBOYS Breakfast,

T. B. Sweet, a Topeka capitalist,
stopped at Abilene in the early days
at the best hotel in the city. He
asked for his breakfast. The wait
ers took no special notice of his ap-
pearance, or at least did not guess
that his appetite was different from
the average patrons.
"Give me some eggs" said Mr.
Sweet, and waited.
In littel while the waitress came
back. In a bowl she had full doz-
en- eggs, all hard boiled.
Sweet gasped and ate what he
could, protesting that she had
brought him too many, and that he
didn't just know how hard boiled
eggs would strike him for his first
meal of the day.
"Why, that's a regular cowboy s

MOTHER AND CHILD
Botn Fully Nourished on Grapc-Nuts.

The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from it's
chemical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly
baked for many hours and contains
all the wholesome ingredients in
these cereals.
1t contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which
Nature uses to build up brain and
nerve cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because
the brain and nervous system of the
child grows SO rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value Of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up
her own strength but in nourishing
her baby at the same time. She
writes:

cover health and strength, and the

Death Dream Comes True.

Tearing himself from the arms of
his wife, who begged him not to
leave his home in Springfield, Mo-,
because she had presentment in
her dreams that he would be terri
bly, mangled, Oscar Whitworth, a
brakeman on a Frisco train, left his
home on a ride to death, for he
fell from t,.e tip of car one mile
west of Aurola and was ground to
pieces beneath the wheels of the
train.
Whitworth's absence was not no
ticed by members of his train crew
until the freight arrived at Monet,
16 miles away.
Half an hour later the members
of another train crew passing the
spot where Whitworth had fallen
saw the body.
When Whitworth started to go
out on his run his wife, with tears
streaming from her eyes, begged him
to stay at home. Whitworth laugh
ed at her premonition, and as he
left home laughingly told her that
he would return all right and dis
prove her belief in dreams.-Chicago

on the merits of the laxative for its remark
