japanese In False Hair Trade,

American women now are wearing
japanese hair. Japan i'll the last few
years has begun to export human hair
by the bale. 'fhe business was deyel-
oped following the short supply in
Europe due to the more general use
Of switches and false eurls. The
French government also took legisla-
tive steps to stop Brittany girls selling
their piaits Japanese merchants were
quick to see the opportunity for enter
ing the trade and began to gather hair
throughout the empire. II goes to
France, where it il dressed and pre-
pared for the retail purchaser. More
of the finished product is sold III this
country. especially the hair that comes
from the Japanese women of Miyake
lima. in LEU These women have llaiI
several feet long, aud it is eagerly
sought by dealers.

A BABY Blanket.

Much of the effect of a baby blanket
depends upon its being of the proper
dimensions. When too long for its
width it looks aud gets stringy, IL too
large 1t is awkward and hard to tuck
In, aud when perfect square it is
not graceful.
One woman who has knit and GRO
cheted blankets by the hundreds for
her married friends says that after
much experimenting she has found
the best proportions are one yard long
by three-quarters Of yard wide.
No matter what the stitch or design,
she rarely varies from this dimension
by more than an inch or two each
way to allow for the difference In
stitches and never alters the relative
proportion.

DEAL GAMBLING ORDINANCE,
- q .as..a..ao = rnnh

ZEAL JAMDLllNGf OhDINANSL"
The Deal gambling ordinance is not
likely. to have long life. 1t is more
than probable that there will be intro
duced at the next regular meeting of
the Council an ordinance which will lay
it aside. Tt may be possible that re-
consideration of the Deal ordinance
may be offered at the adjourned meet
ind of the Council. However, this is
inltnaterial. The Deal ordinance is a
sham. It is greater farce than was the
ordinance which preceded it. 1t was
designed against gambling in cards, but
would not operate against gambling at
other games, except dice, which is out
lawed by a State statute. There is one
feature which should not be overlooked.
It can not operate against the playing
with cards in the homes of any citizen
or club. The difference between play
ing with cards at card parties and gam
bling is as great as day is from night.
