der as a mothers. a wife's or a
lovers, as occasion required; she was
loved for ALI these things, or, more
properly speaking, for herself. Cousin
Serena bore her title universally, for
as she possessed no visible family con-
nections, she extended spiritual
cousinship to all who knew her.
She had just dismissed young and
very happy pair. who had come to
tell her of their lately discovered bliss.
She had given them her blessing and
a box of her best nut Judges. Signing
softly, she returned to her open fire of
glowing eordwood sticks. With an
other sigh, she snuffed the two wax
tapers on the tiled mantel AS the
light footballs of her departing callers

Serena sighed again. 1T was not a

1t Is well to draw the hair over that

The girls who think 1t a nuisance
to arrange their hair. especially for
the night, fail to realize that II lies
for hours on the pillow and Is more
than likely to grow according to the
way IL falls. The effect OF sleeping
on the hair liz shown by the fact
that girls whose hair is naturally
waey find the side OF the head on
which they sleep less wavy than the
other. On the same principle. IL ar
tificial waivers are used through the
night, that side on which one sleeps
will have the most wave because the
pressure Is greater there.
The habit of not taking down the
eeiffure at night can have but one
effect. IL will make the hair lose its
