old-fashioned soft rags and the plait,
are generally condemned, and 1t is
held to be species of torture to sub.
ject a nervous child to any form Of
curling whatever on account of the dis.
comfort entailed. Even to curl only
the ends of the hair implies weighing
the tresses with hard rolls that will
render the child's slumbers restless.
Some little girls are much more sen.
sitive than others and require spe-
cially soft touch when their hair is
brushed. The process should be under.
taken with gentle, steady and sooth-
ing hand, morning and night, after
which the hair should be plated loose
ly to prevent tangles and broken hair
during the hours of sleep.
The comb should be used with par,
dcular care, not the full length of the
locks at first, but little by little, ex-
tending its range after all tangles have
been removed from the ends, until the
whole length may be combed through
without encountering a single knot. A
silk handkerchief used to burnish the
hair has the effect Of producing a soft
gloss, but no artificial aid, such az
grease. should be necessary.
1t is asserted by many mothers that
brushing an infants hair upwards
when 1t is damp has the effect Of ma
king It curl, and that the curling tend
ency will continue as long as the hair
is twisted round the fingers, even after
1t has reached length of many inches
Ribon f1llets and bows are the chosen
decoration of the coiffures OF very
small girls, adapted to suit the differ
ent dressing chosen. If there be q

the hair is looped up and the bows ap
pear above the ears. Some little girls
look very quaint and charming with
their "pigtails" wound spirally over the
ears, method that is useful when the
hair is to be protected as much as pos
sible from sand showers on the sea
shore.
The simpler the mode of arrange
ment when little girls hair is dressed
for polite occasions, the better for hei
appearance and the well-being of hel
pretty tresses. The side parting, the
center parting and the straightly Gu
fringe all have their opponents. Hail

Evening Wraps.

Many of the new evening wraps,
particularly the broadcloth ones, are
almost in Louis XIV. style, with a
rather tight belt around the waist and
long slashed sleeves with lace ruff

mostly in chiffon and linen and match
ing the frock, or else in black. Mauve

COTTON EXPERTS
IN CONFERENCE
New England Spnners and Govern
ment Agents Will Hold I'M
portant Meeting at Boston.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 2.-Hon. G. H.
Afford, special agent Of the United
States department of agriculture, bu-
reau of plant industry, left last night
for Washington in response to an i'm
portant summons from DR.. S. A.
Knapp, general Southern agent for the
department.
Mr.. Afford will be joined in Wash
ington by Hon. R. L. Moss, special
agent of the department for Alabama,
and Hon. ]. w. Willis, of Winona, and,
in company with DR.. Knapp, they will
go to Boston for conference with
the New England cotton spinners.
A short time since the spinners of
New England requested the depart
ment for information relative to the
cotton situation in the South, and it is
for the purpose of going thoroughly
over the situation that the confer
ence will be held next week in Bos-
ton.
The spinners desire to secure infor-
nation regarding the present produc-
ton of cotton, and future prospects
in sections that have been affected
by the Mexican boil weevil; to find
what are the prospects for the produc-
ton of short staple, long staple and
sea Island cotton, and at what cost
these varieties can be produced, TO
confer in regard to the length and
strength of the staple that can be
grown in the boil weevil districts, in
! order that there may be necessity for
importing cotton, in event the farm
ers of the South can continue to grow
all varieties of the staple
On the other hand, the agricultural
experts expect to gather Information
about the probable worlds consump.

years, the broadening of the American
market, etc. They will put concisely
before the spinners all information
in their possession regarding crop di-
versification, the new methods of ag'
ricultufe that are being employed, and
general conditions as they exist in
this section.
Knapp and his assistants will make
tour of the New England states for
the purpose of inspecting the textile
industries, and on the return journey
home will make a similar inspection

and narrow skirts that make up the
combinations are not becoming. They
must be set off with this almost fra
grant neatness and with the most CO.
quettish accessories to give their wear
ers the pretty" look. The tailor
gown must also fit to perfection and
not look as though there were an
inch too much cloth in the compost
ton. Good tailoring is involved, a
faultless corset, and, incidentally, a
good figure and soft silk petticoat.
Modish gloves for the walking suit
are heavy tailored affairs Of white, or
yellow, or black dogskin. The round
turban has precedence over brim hats
for millinery that goes with such
suits, but many charming hats with
haring basket brims, or quite wide
flattish ones, will be worn by the
younger ladies'. The skittishness of

ridiculous.
Our picture shows a wrap that
might well be the winter coat of the
elderly lady of dressy tastes, and it
would be just the thing for the young
matron's maternity covering. AS pic

these wearers there could be no better
choice of material than black broad
cloth, with a plated skirt dn matching

lined, and made with a velvet or heavy
lace collar, would be another good
choice, and such coat, except in the
coolest weather, could go with any
gown.

Rome. September 24.--The hope that
the recent meeting between the Mar
quis di San Giuliano. Italy's Minister
of Foreign Affairs. and Baron Aehren-
thai. Chancellor OF the Austrian em-
pire, would permanently clear the sky
from the threatened war clouds, has
once more faded, the horizon Is darker
than ever and everything points to
continuation of the same strained
policy. both In Italy and Austria; that
characterized the situation previous to
the meeting.

were having n sociable chat at Saltz-
burg. and their respective sovereisns
were exchanging nicely worded tele-
grams, the italian grand manoeuvres
both by land AID sea We're going mer-
rily on along the Austrian frontier.
The strategic problem was based on
the hypothesis that two Ausf> an
armies were to invade Italy. one by
land and one by sea. and to show
how many soldiers italy would need
in time of war to cneck the advance
of those invading armies, and how
many new roads ItalySwould need on
which to move up her whole army II
scattered throughout the peninsula.
The detailed results. of course, are
kept secret. but the people have been
Informed that the natural gap of
sixty miles wide which since time
immemorial has been the gate through
which the northern armies have en-
tered Italy. has been reduced. thanks
to a series OF forts. and at a cost OF
many millions. to road twenty miles
wide. and that 1t is only a question
of time when the gap VIII be entirely
closed and made impossible to an
enemy.
At the same time the rumor that
the reorganization of the military
forces might be delayed for lack Of
funds. provoked such a tremendous
chorus of protest from all quartdFs
that the general staff in semi ON
cial statement has informed the peo-
pie that two more regiments OF coast
artillery are being organized. that the
field artillery and cavalry are to ..
increased, and that the work on tho
three remaining Dreadnoushts is to
be pushed with all possible speed.
Sixty additional millions are to ba
spent within the next two years for
new war material and new defensive
works on the frontiers.
In the face of all this 1t is not
astonishing that the whole European
press should ask whether Italy's all
lance with Austria is not altogether
a farce.
1t Is worthy of note that In 1918
the present treaty will come up for q
renewal, and then there will be an
other story to tell. Meanwhile, Italy
is evidently of the opinion that 1t is
