CAPRICE Of h

One of fashions latest caprices Is
a kerchief turban that is wound round
and round the head, something on the
order of the Moorish headgear. Some
are made of printed cashmere or Per-
sian scarfs, which at times are yelled
by Chantilly lace, to make them even
more vague in design. Over the left
eye is stuck a jaunty quill, a pheas-
ants tail feather or a bushy aigrette.
Although it may not be becoming and
may look as. though the wearer were
trying to prove that real beauty can
not be married by anything, no matter
how ugly it may be, this fashion is
decidedly in keeping with the other
Oriental things of the season, such as
the baggy skirt, which resembles the
Eastern woman's trousers, and the
Oriental evening wraps.--New York
Tribune.

Education Versus Tuberculosis.

"The latest and most helpful note

the education of American school
children to avoid tuberculosis" as
serts the Woman's Home Companion.
"The campaign itself may be de-
scribed as a dual movement. On the
one hand, are arrayed notification,
registration and segregation Of those
tainted with tuberculosis; and on the
other education and prevention for
the untainted. The greatest of these
Is the education of the rising genera
