yV1 describes a conical shape,
gradually rising from just
above the brow. All the coiffures and
millinery are arranged on an ascend
ing scale, and the milliners and hair
dressers seem to work together with
their designs. If fashion is to be

ever the head, and a revolution In
hairdressing has taken place In the
mast few weeks. Gone are the hideous
braids and the ubiquitous swirl. as
well as the turban effe is, so popu-
lar a short time ago. Few faces LOOK
well when framed in a heavy braid or
hair, and the style has departed from
whence II came.
Hair dressing may be called the art
of framing the face In this way the
natural head-covering should provide
a proper setting for the face and It's
expression. Every face has 1t own
peculiarities of shape and features
snd for this reason tn hair must
take them into account. Every woman
should make a study of her face and
It's expressions before adopting COLI
fure. One OF the principal things
about beauty is fitness, and hair-dress-
ing has a great deal to do toward
making q woman beautiful.
One must consider the shape OF
the face. See whether the chin Is
in the class known as square or
angular. IL this is the case, the ar
rangement OF the front hair will miti-

The wind. like the little girl, must have

sometimes TO the loudest shrieks and then
dying down TO the faintest signs
The little girl had watched the outdoor

Georges Reward.

BY Dorothy Taylor, age years Elsie, Neb.
Blue Side.
Once there was little boy named George.
He was very poor and worked hard for
a living. When he could not get work to
do he sold papers or BACKED boots.
One day he was standing on the corner of
q street with a bundle of papers under one
arm when a little girl passed and tried to
cross the street right in front of a runaway
horse which she had not seen coming. She
was very frightened and began to cry.
George had seen her and ne dropped his
papers and ran to help her. He caught
hold of her arm and told her to run to
the side so it would not hurt her. But she
was only years old and could not run
fast, so George had TO drag her. Just at
that moment the girls mother came along
and when George told her about the run
away horse she was so glad she forgot TO
thank George. but hurried on.
George went back 10 get his papers, but
they were not there. boy had come
along and picked them up and run off with
them. George went home and told his
mother about how he had saved q little
girl and that somebody had taken his
papers from where he had dropped them.
Next day knock was heard at the door
and when George opened II he saw the
little girl whom he had saved, and her
mother. They had come to take George
and his mother TO live with them. They
got ready to go at once and went with the
giri and her mother.
And this was Georges reward

At mention Of home and Granny, tears
came into the baby eyes OF little Leon.
The pretty lady saw them. and STOPPING,
she put her arm about his shoulders and
said: mo the teacher will not lick YOU
desrie. nor will she allow the big boys to
tease you. Come. I'll put you beside my
desk today. Then you'll like It better"
And she led Leon. calmly yielding, into
the big room where about twenty boys and
girls we're sitting before funny little tables,
two and two together
And then 1t was that Leon beheld Jack
and Mary Jackson, his nearest neighbor
children. They grinned at him In friendly
way, And Leon began to wonder what
the place was. and why 30 many children
we're assembled together. II was some
time before It dawned upon him that this
was the school, and by some unknown
road he had been led right into its terrible

that she was the teacher, that horrible
creature he had so feared7 Yes so it
proved to be- And she had him sitting OH

she taught him many words that were
written on a blackboard. And then she
tapped a little bell, saying: Recess for
fifteen minutes" And the children all
sprang to their feet and ran out into the
big yard, playing together. And wonder of

out, and he Joined in the games that were
played. Oh, such fun he hadl And when
the bell rang he was reluctant to leave off
playing till he remembered the lovely
teacher Then he ran In and got on his
chair and was most happy to watch the
pupils at their study And teacher gave
him some work to do on a slate, which he
found intensely interesting. Why, school
was lovely, after all. And at noon he
opened his dinner pail and ate with an
enormous appetite in company with all the
other pupils. oh, what picnic! And when
school was over for the day he could have
cried for he wanted II to continue longer.
And with happy heart he hurried home to
tell Granny and Grandpap all about what

settled back In the pillows in the window
and everything was very quiet until
voice outside said sympsathetleally:
whats the matter. little girl?"
1t was the mist talking. The little girl
sat up In surprise.
"oh! Obi Don't you know" she began,
that when it's dark and cloudy all girls
are out Of humor cause our mothers will
not let US go out doors and play
mo, l don't know at ALL" replied the
mist. Many little children over on the
other side of the city are very glad to have
It cloudy, for when the sun shines warm it
makes the sidewalks so hot they can't play
there. They have no nice green lawn like
you and besides many of them have to
work very hard, and when II is so hot IL
makes them sick Their feet burn, their
heads ache and they get very thirsty"
OH said the little girl, and looked very
thoughtful; but It's so homely, not pretty
at ALL"
But you don't see the beauty. Don't
you know that every cloud has a silyery
lining"
The little girl nodded She had heard
her grandma say so many times, but she
never thought IL was really true before,
but now that the mist said so II must be
true Tor the mist seemed TO 10 be q very
wise lot of damp ain.

The little girl settled down into com

The action of the Austro- Hungarian Board

exquisite care and the net result was the
PRONUNCIATION of an order that every school
reading book should contain at least one
chapter devoted to the postage stamps of
the world, illustrated by fac-simile repro
auctions.
1t was learned that almost every field of
study is covered to some extent by stamps
