flowers or surmounted by stiff
the same angle as on every other head
in the semicircle. Now 1t would be
difficult to make mental note of the
various angles at which hair ornaments
are worn and Of their striking charac-
teristics.
The coiffure. being the foundation of
these barbaric creations, is of prime
Importance. Each woman chooses her
own style and then seems to accentuate
it until you wonder how it is managed,
even with the assistance of a. clever
maid. The cap arrangement is the one
most favored at present as few women
have heads of sufficient size to look
well without this foundation. A few
can wind fiat switch around the head
with no other support than the natural
hair drawn up toward the forehead and
look well balanced as to mind and
coiffure. But the majority of women
require a very substantial foundation
before they draw the hair forward and
pin # preparatory to fastening on the
braid,
When the hair is rather straight or
waves ever so little naturally then the
unbraided switch may be wound around
the head. A decided wave or curl de-
mands either al braid or a twist to
encircle the head. With these two re-
strictions the rest of the cofffure may
be managed as individual taste sug-
gests.
An English fashion favors wide pins
that look like buckles when they are
adjusted, holding the twist of hair in
place. Some of them are narrow and
at least three inches long, which means
that the fat bandeau of hair must be
drawn out to fill the buckle comfort
ably.
The ears have withdrawn themselves
from public view during the present
reign of fashion, and only the lower
tips are seen where they support the

didn't believe word I said, and she
had suspicion that I had done the
whole thing, but how she did not
know"
The narrative ended he lighted his
cigar afresh, laughing still over the
bewilderment of the old German couple.
Giving his cigar a good start he re-
sumed with another story.
Il always thought I was no worse
than our neighbor's BOY, but maybe it
was a case of two of kind. 1 know
I was thrashed three times as often
as Jake next door, and if that went
for anything I must have been three
times as bad. But Jake's father was
an easy boss, while mine welded a big
stick and did so in the woodhouse. I
had good reason to know every knot
hole, plank and board in that old
shed. My father was very strict and
/ always thought he was not so fair
with their children. But then prison
ers never have a very good idea of
the law when they feel the halter
draw and perhaps that was my case
when I was thrashed
The county fair was on. My father
was to exhibit a hive of bees and a
prize pumpkin that he had nursed
like du lH1dHC Will CQOteTa uranium,
cultivating. irrigating and titivating it
every blessed day from blossomhood
to pumpkinhood.
so it was picked and put into the
wagon with the bees and my father
started out. He would give me no
pocket money. so the side shows and
lemonade and popcorn were not for me,
but 1 went to the fair and was sore
all day.
INV father took the nrize on tha
pumpkin and was as proud as Lucifer.
Il did not think that such pride was
warranted under the circumstances. and

and talked long after every one else
had turned in
Next door lived a cute and scheming
old Irish washerwoman with a pen

pile, it being the latter's great pleasure
and exercise to cut into pile of cord
wood and keep his sawed and split
woodpile amply replenished. The wood
pile was near the fence, and, although
frequent inroads were made into it, the
German was never quite sure that his
neighbor's Monday wash was done at
his own expense in the matter of fuel.
They discussed this many nights,
until 1 promised finally to lay a plan
to catch the old woman and cure her for
good. I brought home a small ships
auger and a little powder. and then l
explained how would bore holes in
couple of sticks fill them with powder
and put the sticks handy inside the
Germans yard near the fence, and then
something would happen. Great was
their jubilation now that a burglary

their woodpile. 1t was a fine scheme,
and when ! finished the boring, filing

sticks, he hurried out and placed them
apart from the pile and near the fence.
Then we waited. I sat up with them

night and the wood box was thinning
down. 1 left the room, sneaked out the
front door and around, and taking the
two sticks placed them where the Ger
man would get them when he went out.
Ten o'clock came and 1t was time for
more wood unless we were to go to-
bed, so the old man slipped on his cap,
buttoned his coat around his ears. went
out and picked up the two handy pieces
and one or two more and came in II

T gave the husband of fashionable
young woman something Of a shock
the other day when he overheard
his wife conhde 10 her most init
mate friend that she was wearing
SIS worth OF false hair. In the hrst
place. her coifure seemed too small to
be made up of any such amount OF sep
srate pieces as SIS ought to buy, &C.
cording TO the masculine idea. In the
reign OF puffs It would have been easier
to have figured it out, but now-well,
Il did not sound at all reasonable. And
how could hair cost so much anyway,
he wondered.
But that isn't all have" continued
the modishly gotten up young woman.
Come in and take a look at my head
dress table" And she led the way to
a daintily mirrored affair, unusually
long and deeper than the modern dress
ing table. There were two quite deep
compartments. and first she pulled out
the top one. displaying pile OF braids
OF various lengths and thicknesses and
false pieces to serve on practically
every occasion when modern woman
resorts to artffce.
The second compartment disclosed an
assortment Of headdresses that was
nothing short OF barbaric. These
ranged from the long, feathery para
disc plume to the oriental looking
5eweled bandeau. And she went on to
explain that evening dresses now re-
quire a separate hair ornament for
each. You might as well have all your
frocks made alike as TO think Of wear
