It takes courage to depart from the
beaten ways of fashion. but a 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
IL she will only rest her head occasion
ally.
This, in other words, is to give up
wearing extra pieces on the head-not
such a difficult feat in summer, either,
when hats are less constantly worn ana
large coiffures are not SO essential.
Nor is it hard to make a striking effect.
Brushing is an enormous help in making
a fluffy and puffy coiffure. and. even
though the hair be oily. a stylish dress
ing is possible.
To make a pompadour without cusn-
ion, the hair should be divided as 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 the edge of the
portion on the right is put beneath, and
the under part of the hair pushed toward
the front, without disturbing the even
ness of the outside. This makes the
pompadour stand up without rafting
the hair beneath-a process that is harm
full.
This middle section. puffed. is then
fastened with one pin at the back OF the
head, and each side is gathered with a
comb and pulled into place, taking care
to keep the effect soft. This done. the
pompadour is shaped, and a brush gives
the final touch by stroking back the
tresses, not tight to the head, but begin

PARIS, May 27.-Andrew Carnegie was
a trife chagrined when told yesterday
that 1t was no longer a secret that he

Of hero fund for France.
He had hoped to get away before the
fact became known. However. as he
leaves today for England he will not be
subjected to embarrassing thanks. though
it is certain that France will be warmly
grateful when 1t learns OF his act.
Mr.. Carnegie had had the plan under
consideration for some time. At his last
visit to the home Of Ambassador White
Mr. Carnegie broached it. asking whether
the gift would be acceptable.
Carnegie Thanks White.
Subsequently the matter was placed in
Mr.. Whites hands. Mr.. Carnegie speaks
with which the ambassador perfected the
arrangements.

The fund is to be managed by a COM

Among those who have agreed to serve
are the only living ex-president. Emil

The newest barrette, has no clasp that
catches the short hairs in the back, but
is network or lattice of shell-some-
times plain and sometimes picked out
with mock Jewels rhinestones usually.
Ribbons are attached to the ends Of
the barrette and she'll hairpins are sewed
to the other ends of the ribbon, which is
set into the hair securing the barrette
The office of the latter seems to be prin-
cipally that Of supporting the structure

fining the short hairs. though probably
it accomplishes both purposes Set with
rhinestones. 1t is an exceedingly brilliant
ornament.

so women who have old-fashioned silk
iringes laid away are fortunate, for they
can probably use them on last summer s

course.

one that will suit the rest Of the toilet
