HOW TO DRESS THE HAIR.

There is a growing tendency on the
part of all young women to dress the
hair quite simply. This sounds odd
against the well-known fashion for
crepes, ruffs and puffs. Yet as the
party season advances, and young WON
en- are seen more often in evening
gowns, the single Psyche seems to be
the thing.
1t is really more of a single puff
than anything else, and it is quite
adroitly made. The hair is combed back
from a small pompadour or a front
parting to a point about three inehe:
above nape of neck.
There the hair is tied with a bit OF
silk ribbon the color of hair. Then il
is rolled over the finger into long
loose, careless puff. This is secured
! invisibly at each end. There is NJ
sign of comb of any kind.
Few ornaments are worn, unless it i:
a band of satin or velvet ribbon.
A few of the extra well-dressed girl
are wearing an Alsatian bow of white
tulIe across the left side of the head
This looks something like large but
terfiy. 1t is rather trying to anyone
| who hash t a good deal of pretty hair

LATEST FAD IN HATPINs.

The latest fad is to cover hatpins.
Does that sound strange? It is not,
however, for, if you possess a plain
and unattractive pin and wish to give
it the caehet of originality, all you
have to do is to embroider a tiny disc
of black satin, or any shade that you
prefer, with gold thread; put the disk
over the head of the pin, tie it tight,
and the deed is done. If you had a
jeweled pin and the real diamond, or
whatyer it was, had disappeared, cover
small button in any way you like
and paste it into the empty space left
by the lost bit of glass. If hatpin
is too small, make little rosette OF
gold tissue and run the pin through
the middle
The ways of decorating such pins
are really too numerous to mention in
detail, but anyone may do it and gel
the best results with the least effort
and expense. Indeed, it is not diff
cult.

THIS SEASONS POPULAR SCARF

The eighteenth century floating scarf
has come into its own this season. Few
women who go in for color effects 60
out in the evening without a dashing
chiffon or gauze scarf.
At the opera, at dances in the res
taurants one sees these scarfs floating
through the room like many colored
butterflies
The commonplace blue and pink OF
Egyptian sequined gauze ones are in
the minority They are not really
smart. The correct thing>is to have
one of jade green or the new deep
magenta, coral pink, nile blue, plum
purple and duck blue These are the
tones of the moment, and not one of
them as anemic.
They are worn over one shoulder
with ends hanging to hem of skirt, OIL
frankly around the shoulders, or loose
~ around the waist. with ends passed
over arms in 1860 fashion.
They make brilliant note in any
gathering of women, and if you own
one and wear it well it shows you are
in touch with the last fashion. tt is
prettier when untrimmed, simply hem
med widely at edges. 1t is about two
and a half yards long.

THE ART OF FRYING LARD.

To '|egg and erumb and fry is an
expression which is used exceedingly
often, and as often as it is used I have
no doubt that many understand it,
but | am equally certain that there is
it must be a very, very exasperating
expression.
Properly fried, fish is generally egg
ed and crumbed, so we will begin with
that as being about the easiest thing
Wether plain or filleted. the whole sur.
face must be thoroughly coated, and
is best skinned.
Suppose, then, there are some pieces
of flleted fish to egg and crnmb. Have
plenty of fine white bread crumbs pass
ed through seive and laid on sheet
of paper. No brown bread crumbs
remember, for properly fried fish. A
deep pan of fat is required, which i:
perfectly clear of crumbs or any sedi
ment, and which is entirely free OF
water. Put this pan of fat with tn,
lid on to keep down smelly on a FIRE OF
gas when preparing the fish.
There being good quantity, it take:
some time to get the right heat, and il
must not be heated too quickly.
Beat an egg on plate; add on,
tablespoonful of water and one tea
spoonful of olive oil. Put one piece Of
fish into the egg, brushing it over Will
small brush or turning it with
knife until completely covered. Drain
and cover it with the bread ehumbs.
The fillets are now ready to be friet
in the smoking hot fat.

HOW MoLEs MAY BE REMOVED

Many persons go through the world
with blemishes on their skin which
easily could be removed. They would
gladly have them removed, but fear
the preparations sold are injurious.
One ugly mark which is not difficult
To remove is mole. It is unsightly,
and will not go away Of itself, but
with little attention it should disap-
pear in a short time.
The following remedy is harmless,
and is used on the mole until it dis
appears. Take salieylic acid and moist
en- with alcohol or glycerin and bind
around the mole for half hour. The
acid will eat away the morbid tissue.
At each application it will become
smaller, and it should disappear after
the third application.

HATS OF FABRIC TO MATCH SUITS

Since breadcloth and cashmere have

woman who possesses a pretty knack
for draping, knotting and twisting,
feels as though she may conscientiously

every costume.
In reality these fabric hats are at
their best with the exceedingly simple
tailored coat and skirt suits and the
Princess redingotes Of English mohair

VERY SMART HANDKERCHIEF
CASE

A charming new sachet shown has
very distinct advantage over all the
other various designs intended to hold
handkerchiefs or wells. As matter of
fact, one of the ordinary handkerchief
eases very seldom .'hoIds'' the hand
kerchiefs at all, and at their best are
only a loose envelope in which one
can put ones hand on the muchneed-
ed little article.
The case in question is SO made that
whichever way you open the case it
not only shows the handkerchiefs, but
the straps of ribbon keep them in place
without any possible chance of their
falling off, although both sides of the
handkerchiefs can be seen by opening
the case backwards or forwards. This
almost looks like trick and, in
fact, comes from a well known nursery
card game called s'The Disappearance
of the jack
To make the handkerchief case, cut
two pieces of cardboard of the required
size, say seven by nine inches, cover
them on both sides, first with a layer
of wadding, then with a pretty flow
cred or embroidered silk or satin. Line
with japanese silk or quilted satin of
some pretty pale shade, and make neat
by turning in the edges and overseeing
all around.
Now comes the secret of the strap
ping. Lay the two covered pieces of
cardboard side by side on the table
Take length of ribbon of a color to
match the cover or the lining, about
one and a half inches wide; cut in two
strips to 60 across from the left edge
of the first side to the left edge OF
the second side; then two more strips
to go from the upper right hand corner
of the first side to the upper right hand
corner of the second side.
| The silk eording all round should bt
done before putting in the straps, but
little slots should be left in which tt
slip the ribbon through and secure i
with few stitches hidden by the core
at the edge. This will considerably
simplify the work, especially if the
ribbon be held in position by pins un
til sewn down.
the case can be made elaborate b,
| flowers or lovers knots, or by bein;
embroidered with Pompadour ribbon
work. which can be so quickly done
and working on the other side tn
initials of the owner. This makes
very handsome gift.
