READING CHARACTER

Reading character from peoples girls. It is recorded that straight, black, coarse hair, growing thick. in- dicates more order and industry than mental power. Auburn hair means a kindly and sympathetic na- ture, though hot and breezy temper ament sometimes develops. Straight hair indicates power to govern, while curls suggest q feeble sense of right and wrong, they say: though there is plenty of gayety, vivacity and self confidence in the temperament.
 Fine brown hair accompanies ex- cellent minds The owners generally have intellectual tendencies. Red hair is strongly characterstic--no halfway business here. It usually in- dicates quick temper, peppery-of course there are exceptions.
 Golden hair is rarely seen on per sons of gross nature. Its owner loves fine arts and possesses exquisite sen abilities.
 Hair and eyebrows differing In color are said to mean untrustworthiness They indicate race mixture and some times bespeak a wavering. nsteady nature.
 As a rule. smooth, fine. softly way ing hair betokens gentleness, quiet ness and neatness. Uuduly sleek straight hair gives warning of slynes' and hypocrisy

There is an attempt to bring back the smooth coiffure and the results so far are beautiful. The hair is ar tistlcally arranged over foundations. to be sure, though 1t is brushed back as evenly as ever hair was brushed in- to straight orderliness on the head of q Japanese belle. Nor Is the cush- toned portion severely round and plain for often the hail shows a roll over the forehead, possibly two, and the side parting Is noticed. The coils are arranged high and the smooth braid, little rolls or straight switch encircle the knot of hair. The wisps of hair, either a blessing or q great nuisance to many, will be touched with bril- liantine, brushed back and pinned to the hair. The very short fringe is trained to Ego back" and Is often slip ped underneath and pinned with a tiny invisible hairpin.

OLIVE OIL SERVICE

Not every one realizes the medicinal properties of olive oil. It is quite true that the machinery of the body needs olling occasionally, like any mechanical machine which is constantly in use. and olive oil. taken internally will be exceedingly beneficial. A tablespoonful will aid the digestion and ease liver trouble. This oil should be served fre- {, quently as dressing and is not onlyI pleasant on vegetables, but serves as an appetizer as well. Taken internal- ly. either with salads or alone, 1t Is beneficial for catarrh, either of the stomach or throat. It Is known to be a great help in cases of run down nerv- ous system and loss of weight. Ity should be rubbed well into the skin, th6I entire body being massaged with t| oil. particularly the spine.

The regulation of Washington laun- dries seems to be a comparatively trivial matter to engage the atten- tion of congress, but as congress has done nothing worth mentioning at this session and is merely killing time in these closing days, 1t might be em- ployed to even less advantage than in trying to save the shirts and collars of it's members And why should not congress- having jurisdiction over a big city, frame a model law for the regulation of laundries, such regula- ton az would prevent the use of de- structive acid and mangling machn- cry?

PROPER WAY TO DUST

The proper method of dusting fur niture has to be learned. It does not come naturally.
 Girls rarely begin with duster in each hand, which is absolutely nec- essary to success; one in the left hand is needed to prevent leaving finger marks when lifting and steadying the furniture.
 Each piece should be wiped lightly from the top downward to remove dust, and after the duster has been shaken out of the window, not over the carpet, the piece should be rub bed again between the two dusters with both hands. This is saving of time and insures all sides being equal ly bright.
 A damp cloth is the best of all not use one. claiming that 1t injures the polish on the furniture. This ob- lection is absurb, for if the cloth is clean the moisture will not harm the furniture.
 It may remove the gloss, but this can easily be brought back when the surface of the wood is dry for rubbing hard with dry, soft cloth.
 The advantage Is that instead of al- lowing the dust to fly about the room fl is all gathered on the cloth, which keeps 1t from getting anywhere else.
 When using the damp duster only go over a small space at one time, rinse the cloth well and there will be no danger of inJuring the wood work

Every vocal student should clearly understand the Four Ways of emit ting the breath. The characteristics of each kind of emission spring from the manner in which the vocal cords approach each other, or, In other words, their relative position changes with each kind of expiration. l--lnau- dible expiration; entirely open glottis; the breath escapes rapidly and noise- lessly as in ordinary breathing, g.
