Al a Chinese BANQUET.

| once attended a banquet at which
one of the guests-an Englishman-
drank a little too much sam, shu, an
exceedingly heavy liquid distilled from
rice. There were in attendance two
half-grown Chinese girls, IA or is
years old, one playing the Chinese fid-
die, the other, the tall Chinese DRUM:
The Englishman, to amuse himself, be-
gan making hideous faces at them un-
til he terrified the little creatures into
silence. A handsome and dignifed
Chinese merchant was seated next to
me, watching this procedure with an
impressive face. The Englishman
caught his eye, and said:
They NO sabe me-" pointing to
the girls. They tink he allie same
clazy. Wat you tink?" To which the
merchant gravely replied, in perfect
English:
''T would not exactly call you crazy,
sir; bit your mind certainly seems to
be somewhat affected"
The Englishmah did not know that
the Chinese merchant was a graduate
of Yale.-Jerome A. Hart, in b.

F'Make a way, then sir, - said Bessie, tossing her
head and her fine eyes flashing . Do not sell your
independence for anybody anything! -
'There is only way to do that at this eleventh

'sYes, strand what is that way2' she asked quite
eagerly

He spoke very seriously looking at her steadily.
The hostess of Travellers JOY met his look with one
of astonishment as she repeated in bewilderment:
''To become engaged this very hour?''
''This very minute, if it may be, he amended,
rising to his feet.
She had come near to him, but now, in something
like CONSERVATION, she retreated few steps Then
such was her bewderment that she seemed rooted to

and kissed her.
"Oh-oh!" she CRIED flushing scarlet
'fDo you believe in love at first sight, Besse9' he

''That must be only because you hard to
please, " he said. @ Bessie you are too pretty and
charming for it to be otherwise"
She dropped him mock curtsey but she blushed
again, all the same, as she said: $50 l am pretty,
sir9 1t is only your indulgence that makes you say
that But let us admit that some kindly eyes might
find me so. That is of little value What | am proud
of is that I have been well brought up, am indepen-

man gravely. Somehow, the very first moment L

he seems gentleman, and
He certainly is severe,' admitted Percy ruefuy.
"And probably he is the cause OF your present
trouble of mind, sr?' quered Bessie daringly.
''Ee is, Bessie But that is owing to my own
weakness -
The hostess of Travellers Joy lifted her eyebrows.
''It is like this, - went Percy, in some embar-
rassment, after interval of silence. 81 am bar
rister and making the slow progress usual in my
profession when, in an unhappy hour my growing
discomfort inspired to apply to my uncle to aid me
with his influence. Sir Norbert could command that,
and he used it on my behalf Indeed, he took
great interest in me- so much so that he made his own
plans for my future and forced them on me. -
How could he force them you, sr2'' asked
Bessie with indignant wonder
You see, he practically instituted himself my provl-
dence, -, returned Percy with somewhat bitter laugh.
And in return he assumed the direction of my will.
Now well in the tolls l only extricate myself
from them with the result of being thrown back on my

quoted $50 perhaps sir, mine has had its own little

troubles, and Danish them if we can

another sigh.
''And so you are sad in that way, sir7" she said
softly, with a touch of pity in her tone.
You may be right Bessie, - he half admitted,
noting her tone.
''You are unhappily married, perhars?' she haz-
arded very hesitanty.
''Oh no. he returned quickly.
Engaged, doubt, and-and-regret it?' she
said diffidently after pause
''No, Bessie am quite free, - he answered, with

She wrnkled her brows in pretty perpexty. Then,

In travelling with toilet bottles or

Draw piece around the neck of

HINTS REGARDING THE HAIR.
Tresses Require Constant Care II
Beauty Is to Be Preserved
for Any Length Of Time.

BLACK hair is so rare a beauty that
the girl who possesses it shouie be
careful to keep it satin smooth and
free from dust by the frequent stro.
kings with a velvet bristled brush oc.
casionally moistened ever SO slightly
with olive oil.
Brown hair so soon fades and turns
gray that it's rich, deep shades are
only to be preserved by constant vigi.
lance. One method of keeping it beau.
tiful is to occasionally rub upon the
scalp and locks very little sour milk
allowing it to remain for a few mo.
ments and then washing it out with
warm water
Blonde hair should be washed with
CASTLE soap and water, then thorough.
ly dried in the sunshine whenever pos.
sible, as that helps to preserve the
golden shades Any preparation con.
tanning ammonia is apt to fade light
hair and to give it an ashen tinge,
while peroxide of hydrogen rinsings
will bleach it so gradually that before
a girl realizes what is happening she
will find herself the possessor of faI
more silver than golden locks"
Gilpin observer., 1909-07-29
How to Brush the Hair.

To brush the hair properly draw the
brush firmly, though gently, over the
scalp and down through the entire
length of the hair at each stroke, and
let the strokes follow each other in
rather rapid succession The brush
should never be brought down on the
scalp with quick, sharp, striking mo-
ton, as this only irritates and some
times shocks and wounds the scalp as
well as tangling the hair For comb
ing out the hair after it has been
waved coarse comb is often better
than a brush. Under no circum-
stances should the hair be combed out
by beginning at the scalp and work
ing downward Instead divide the hair
into strands and comb each portion
separately, beginning at the end of
the hair.

LIKE THE BRAIDED CoIFFURE.
Parisians Return to Severely Simple
Styles, and the Change Will
Be Welcomed.

Whether or not the Americans will
accept the severely plain coiffure now
fashionable in Paris is difficult to tell,
but every day one see less puffs, less
pompadour and less waves.
The Brittany fashion of doing up
the hair has become a fixed thing
abroad instead of fad, and women
are hailing it with glee because it will
save them the trouble of curling the
hair during the warm months.
1t does not require more of ones
own hair than have the coiffures OF
the last two years. Braids are need
ed They may be real or bought One
or two of them are laid around the
head, pulled out TO their widest di-
mensions and caught down with shell
pins.
There is fluff of hair between the
braids and the skin which makes for
some softness.
Just above the braid at the back a
wide, fiat comb is tucked in the hair.
This is usually of shell or of cut jet.
