Open Season for Guides

From Van Norden Magazine.
Every year there go into the wilderness
thousands of hunters, with the trappings
and requirements OF slaughter. Some or
them come back. Parts of some of them
come back. There is great carnage In the
w~oods-nct wholly among the wild ami
mails.
1t is considered cheap sport to shoot a
guide, as his skin is no good. Yet when
there is nothing else in sight, what can a
hunter do? The usual method OF the
sportsman is as follows: There is a rust
ling in the bushes. The hunter levels his
rifle at the spot and pours Is slugs into

fair hair, and although Prince Henry,
her father, is reported to have ex-
claimed: "Only grill" the queen, her
mother greeted the announcement
that the child belonged to the fairer
sex with a SMILE
Juliana is not common name in
Holland, and practically every one ex-
pected as a matter of course that the
baby would be named after her mother.
But the parents preferred to give her
as first name that of one of her most
illustrious ancestresses. Juliana, count
ess of Stolberg, wife of William of Mas
sau-Dillenberg, was the mother of the
five brothers, William the silent among
them, who helped to free Holland from
the Spanish yoke.
The baby's other names are Louise.

of Stolberg, is noted in Dutch history
for her piety and charity The two

grandmothers and the family name of
Wilhelmina comes last.

TT takes courage to depart from the
beaten ways of fashion, but a
4 woman who will take the trouble
may prevent her hair from becoming
ragged strands and her head from
badness because of the constant use Of
false hair and pads if she will only rest
her head occasionally.
This, in other words, is to give up
wearing extra pieces on the head-not
such difficult feat in summer, either,
when hats are less constantly worn and
large coiffures are not so essential.
Nor is it hard to make a striking
in making a fluffy and puffy coiffurei
and. even though the hair be oily, a
stylish dressing is possible.
To make a pompadour without a
cushion, the hair should be divided rs
though for a roll, and the top section
separated by making two parts toward
the back, one over each temple. This
is combed and brushed back, then thf
edge of the portion on the right is put
beneath, and the under part of the
hair pushed toward the front, without
disturbing the evenness of the outside
This makes the pompadour stand III
without rafting" the hair beneath-a
process that is harmful.
This middle section, puffed, is theT
fastened with one pin at the back o.

care to keep the effect soft. This done

gives the final touch by gtroking bach
the tresses not tight to the head, but

bristles must be brought away from the

all the hair to begin with an upward

line, an angle that is becoming to the
face. The long hair at the back IS
dressed in any fashion one chooses. A
week of this care will train the locks
to stand away from the face almost as
they do over cushions, and the effect is
far more charming in its softness. Sew
eral times through the day the brush
should be used to help the training
A mixture that is helpful in keeping
riotous hair in place, and may be used
with benefit on the pompadour, is made
from three ounces of clean gum arab:
dissolved in half a pint of rose water.
This. when clear. is tinted with drop
of aniline dye in solution. 1t may be
scented in any way one wishes. 1t gives
a luster to the hair. To apply, few
drops should be poured into the palm of
one hand, rubbing the other into it,
then gently smoothing the hair after it
is brushed and ready to dress. Those
who object to gum arabic and wish
merely to have a luster will get it by
tinting glycerin with aniline dye and
scenting it. A few grains of powdered
alum may be added if the hair is in
clined to be oily, but for that which is
dry alum should be omitted.
For at least fifteen minutes during
the day, and longer if possible, it is
we'll to take out all the pins and let
the tresses hang loose. This airing is
extremely beneficial, and at the same
time the roots are rested from the
strain of holding a coiffure. At night
a good brushing and combing must be
given, and then a part made down the
middle from forehead to neck. Then
two sections are made into separate,
loose braids, permitting the scalp to
breathe easily all night-Margaret

TODAY AND FOREVER

Man builds a castle on hill,
He makes a citadel or town.
And ere tho world may know his skill
Another comes to tear it down.
Yet day by day and year by year
Through all the changing centuries,
While men appear and reappear
God paints his sunsets on the seas.
Not all the years the world has known
Have changed the pattern of the stars
Though men in conflict for throne
Have mapped the world with battle scars.
Though men in their own blinded way
Have grown confused OF wrong and right
God still gives them the golden day
And silent glory of the night
He turns Times record, page page,
And writes his history the same.
While men blot out each bygone age
In mistiness of facing fame.
In countless numbers men arise
And try their weakness or their force,
Yet calmly through the endless skies
The earth holds its appointed course.
Mans dreams as deeds to him appear.
And. dreamlike deeds and words are gone,
But day by day and year by year
We have the sunset and the dawn.
We never come to understand
The trenchant message brought by these
God limns his sunrise on the land
And paints his sunsets on the seas.

FORTUNE TOLD IN TEA LEAVES

90 much amusement may be had
by telling the fortunes of those
~ who drink "a cup of tea" with
one that the art may well be culti-
waited.
OF course, in all these fortunes there
must be more imagination than any
thing else, therefore nimbler wit and
a glib tongue should be possessed by
the one who undertakes to solve the
mysteries of the future as foretold in
the leaves left in a tea cup.
Anything that in the least resembles
or suggests hat or a cane or legs may
be construed into the imam in the
case" or, rather, in the cup, whereas
any spread to the leaves that may by
a vivid imagination be made to re-
semble the sweep of a Woman's gown
or the rim of her headgear goes for the
woman. If the faintest resemblance to
figure in a kneeling posture can be
detected that means a proposal, while
a group of dots near means its ac-
ceptance. If this group is absent the
proposal will be rejected.
A heart of course, for love affair;
two. a marriage; two figures near to-
gether, with no grounds near, mean an
engagement, while three signify a
speedy marriage. Where four dots
form square it means love letter,
and the nearer the brim of the cup
the sooner it will be received.
A number of leaves, large and small,
means that one will soon be in large
company; if there are many small
specks about this congregation it stgni-
fies bad news, but one just above or
near means good news, and this sign
holds good for the letter also.
If a ring is shown, it means happy
marriage, while crosses, of course.
stand for adversely A long line OF
fine dots mean a journey and if there
are dots clustered about the end, there
will be friends and pleasure awaiting
the traveller.
Different positions of the same sym
boil have different meanings. An
anchor at the bottom of the cup means
success: if at the top. it means love,
and near the middle constancy.
Tears will fall if there are drops
left at the bottom of the cup; serpen-
tine line denotes enemies; star, nap
piness, unless clouded, then it means
tribulatons. A fish brings lucky news
from over the seas unless clouds are
near, then the reverse.
Seven dots in a row means great
prosperity and a straight line fore
tells an illness. Wavy lines with dots
about them mean money; if cloudy, re-
verse of fortune more or less severe
according to as they are nearer the
top or bottom of the cup; if the latter
they are past, if the first they are to
come.
It must he promised that the cup
must be whirled vigorously to dis
tribute the grounds we'll; this is done
three times from left to right; the
cup is turned upside down in the cup
saucer; then given three more turns
from left to right and handed to the
sybil without a glance cast into it's
depths, else the spell will be broken.
For an afternoon among beVy or
girls l know of no more effectual
method of keeping them amused and
interested than the fortune in the tea
cup" and a hostess may well study up
the foregoing training her imagina-
ton to see the things hidden from all
eyes save those of the prophecies.

the successful beauty doctor

- what she said: Massage of the
face can only be done successfully If
one has well-shaped, cool finger tips
and knows how to treat the wrinkles.
Wrinkles begin underneath the skin.
They are caused, it is believed, by a
contraction of the muscles, and when
this becomes a habit the wrinkle Is
formed The idea is therefore to cure
the muscle in order to wipe out the
wrinkle.
Il have a set of movements which L
practice upon the tired-out and much
drawn muscles of the forehead. The
forehead wrinkles first. This is because
it reflects the emotions soonest.
Il take the wrinkled forehead and
steam it lightly with warm cloth.
Then 1 rub some cold cream over 1t
and let it rest few minutes. Now
come the motions which are said to
relax the muscles as nothing else in
the world will do.
