MUSIC ROOM.

Among the outstanding features of
world progress in the last 10 years is
the great development of the republics
of South America, whose vast wealth in
minerals, timber mi agricultural pro-
due has been recognized by DINNER
cial and financial houses on both sides
of the Atlantic, from whom men and
money have gone out in the eXploita-
ttCn of these %fabulously rich territories.
The great awakening had it's natural
effect on lines of communication, both
domestic and foreign, and the Royal
connection with that part of the world
dates back more than half a century,
decided to build a special fleet of steam
ers for their South American route. Re-
suit, the A boats, five steamers
which, outclassing anything and every
thing previously afioat. marked a new

For h large and growing section of

Meat Kitchens.
The kitchens, with their whfte-uni-

electrical appliances, are in striking
contrast to the cramped space and too

you need false hair for the old styles
and o need it for the new. So al
most every woma has got to have

Seeing that his statement seemed
plausible, 1t appeared important to find
out whether false hair is really harm
full.
Dr.. Hutchison, an authority and writ
err on hair, said that only coarse or
dirty switches are bad. Each little real

is struck by the air 1t cleans itself.
Any heavy or matted addition would
prevent h air from penetrating and
would therefore be Injurious. But in
his opinion fine false hair is practically
harmless, m the wearers have moth
ing to fear IL they take precaution to
buy from reliable dealers.
There are -four qualities of false hair
in the market. Fine soft hair, cut from
first class The peasants of Brittany,
whose constant mode Is the wearing of
demure, close fitting caps, furnish a
great part of this. A good deal comes
from h poorer German women, who
are very much taken up with Chill

kaiser tells them should be femininely
first and foremost-and who therefore
are not concerned strenuously in the
adjournment Of their persons.
The second class is made from coars-
er hair cut from the heads Of white
women. This IL given, too, mostly BY
races not English and American. The
girls OF America or England would al
most as soon part with their teeth az
their hair.

you about the Turkeys.
i am so busy these days I hardly

her husband one morning. 1t is such a
hard job to raise those children OF ours.
L have to be SO careful of their feet. If
they get wet, hen the dear things take
cold and 1 have such a time with them
sneezing and some OF them just will not
keep in the house. When it rains, they
run out of doors in spite of all l can do
and then they get dreadful colds and what

the more care you take of those children,
the sicker they get
L tell you what 1 think of doing. You
know there is a rubber plant next to Miss
Lucy's window and l am going to make
those children rubbers and fix a rubber
plant leaf to put over them and then they
may run about IN water as much as they
please
That is a splendid idea,' said her hus-
band. and l will help you make the rub
bers.'
Just then Mr.. Turkey caught sight of
the Ducks and he chased them into the
water.
I wish I had paddles on my feet. so
that I could chase those quackers,' he
said to his wife. I am going to see what
I can do with them yet. Come on and we
will make those rubbers for our dear
children. They are all busy now in the
clover patch. Let's get some Of that
tough grass so that we ma sew the rub
bers.'
S they hoped off together to get the
grass and all the afternoon they were
busy making rubbers for their children,
and when the little Turkeys came home
at night they each found a pair of rub
bers waiting for them. oh! goodie,' they
cried. Now we can go in the wet grass
with our rubbers!"
