Plat II Loosely at Might.

At night little girls hair should
never be lightly curled or plated If
you want it to grow thick and long.
but be very loosely done in two plaits,
SO that in the morning there are prac-
tically no tangles to be combed out.
what does 1t matter If she doesn't
look particularly pretty? So long as
children are healthy and happy that
is the great point. and it is far better
for a girl to have straight hair in
nursery days than to have no hair at
all or only very skinny locks when
she grows to womanhood, quite pos
sible result Of overmuch crimping and
curling Do all you can to make 1t
grow and don't bother about kinks.
and you will earn your child's graft
tude not only while she is in the
nursery. but all her life long.

Patent Dress Shields.

The average girl Is in such a hurry
that sewing shields in q clean shirt
waist is often neglected. but at the no.
ton counter she will find good quail
ity of dress shields with tiny patent
fastener attached. This attachment
slips right on to the seam in the arm
pit and holds the shields in place. If
the price of these patent shields is too
high. then the busy girl should invest
in paper of the smallest white safety
pins found at the counter and pin in
the shields. but nothing will excuse
her going without shields at all. And
in buying shields be sure you get the
kind that will both wash and iron.

New York-That immigration is a true

When the conscience contribution
first arrived the commissioner caused
an examination to be made of the rec
ords in the case. On the showing the
veteran was entitled to his pension
beyond a question. A special exam
liner was sent out to make an investi-
cation on the theory that the soldier
might be mentally irresponsible.
The conscience-stricken man was
found to be in excellent health and
of sound mind. .Thereupon the &C.
count with conscience was declared
closed and the bonds and money
were turned into the miscellaneous
receipts of the treasury department.
