Hair Is Now Dressed
in Many New Ways

Ihe hair is now being dressed with
| less width from side to side and more
! height in the center, a hint partfcu-
| larly valuable to the moon-faced girl,
who ought not to increase the width
OF her face by putting her hair out
unduly above her ears.
Fascinating1y pretty as the curl is,
1t is by no means surprising that it
should maintain it's supremacy. though
it need not be the sole motif of a
chevelure design. Puffs and the plat
are mingled in elegant confusion. and
the wave that is required is the heavy

Girls of about 16 who have not yet
reached the age of putting their hair
up are wearing it parted and caught
together in festoons or curtains upon
the brow, to use an old-fashioned ex-
preston in connection with this form
of dressing.
In some cases the hair is plated at
the back and looped in the nape of the
neck beneath huge ribbon bow.

wise the front hair is drawn to the

Individual fancy is able to run riot
this winter over any number of pos

are beautiful combs being sold at all

attributes to women of all ages.

General Demand

of the Well Informed CT the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle

NEW YoRK's GERMAN
POPULATION

A Berlin paper, quoting Nature, says
that New York is the third German
city in the world in point of popula-
tion. "With its 650,O00 Germans, it is
exceeded in size only by Hamburg,
which has 100000. The other large Ger
man cities are Munich, 100000, and
Dresden, 5OO,0OO.' This article was
called to the attention of DR.. Maurice
Baumfield, the director of the new Ger
man theater in New York, by Vienna
reporter, who wondered how one theater
has been enough. This may have been
partly due to the fact that the young
people are not sufficiently interested in
the language of their parents, but it
was certainly largely owing to the To-
cation of the theater. My house will be
in the residence district, where there
never was German theater before. and
| hope when / come here again / will
be able to say to you that one Ger
man theater is no longer sufficient for
the third German city in the world. y

time meant the game to the other side.
Glenwood has one of the strongest
and most evenly balanced teams that
could be well organized from amateur
and semi professional players. Each
and every man has a thorough knowl
edge of his fielding position and there
is not a weak or inconsistent hitter
on the team.
Manager Richardson and Glenwood
fans may well be proud of the game
their team put up on strange grounds
and of the gentlemanly conduct of the
players. But at the same time let
us hope that these same Glenwood peo-
pie appreciate the fact that a great
deal of credit is due the Aspen team
for winning against their strong ag-
gregation, and that they will take their
defeat as gracefully and in just such
a sportsmanlike manner as the Glen
wood players and management.
