The Sins of Hair Puffs

Three hairDpuffs for 10 cents' was one of the items in a bargain-day adver- tisement of certain shop the other day, since when the mysteries of isome of the cultures one meets has been solved for at least one reader.
 Of what these puffs are made and whence they come is a question better left unasked. Not even the queues of executed citizens of China, which are said to provide much of our cheap false hair. could surely be sold as reasonably as this.
 Every now and then it Is announced by the arbiters of fashion that puffs have gone out and a great sigh of re- lief emanantes from all those persons who have grown tired of seeing this form of coiffure adornment. But the sigh is breathed too soon, for there are just as many puffs shown next day as ever before, so 1t is evident the great mass of women do not read what the fashion makers say.
 Once the puff was used on the top of the head to build up the mass of hair to a towering height.
 Now 1t is used at the back to make a horribly distorted and misshapen head Wherever 1t is. however. 1t is not too | much to say that 1t is the most con- spicuous feature of the landscape.

Simple Furnishings Best

A living room that gives the caller a feeding that he has strar n a mu- scum by mistake or reminds him of that vainglorious bell of the ball who wore jewels of seventeen different descrip- tions including every last gem in her possession, ought to have general over hauling. At least good taste wou4 urge it, the hired girl would approve of it. and your own little duties might be re- duced by one-half.
 The living room should be as free of bric-a-brac and superfuities of furni- ture as possible. When the furniture is chosen with a view to ease, comfort and coziness rather than chilling splendor and exhibitions of art, some of the brit tie and fragile stun will have to be eliminated, for one doesn't care to move about in constant fear of brushing against something that will crash.
 ~ The more sensible and sensibly the living room is furnished the more time you can save in keeping it in order says the Chicago Tribune. AS a rule I, needs more brushing and dusting thar any other in the house, and the patience and energy required to keep bright and shining every little vase and gewgaw and every bit of furniture that might be dispensed with is often considerable

Getting Acquainted

The first weeks at school are difficult. Even where ther is no homesickness to contend with, so much depends upon first impressions, say the Chicago Inter- Ocean. A girls entire school life yes, after all--may hinge on the way she acts at first.
 Here are a few "don'ts" that may help:-
 Don't boast; pose as exclusive, or talk braggingly of your home friends.
 Don't rush into friendship; the most desirable girls are rarely the most ap- proachable.
 Don't be confidential on short acquaint- ance. You wIn live to regret it, espec- tally if you discuss teachers or o:her girls.
 Don't be fresh. domineering, self-as- sertive or know-it-a1l as a stranger. Nothing will so surely "queer'' you.
 Don't be stand-offish. Willingness to meet friends half way is big asset toward popularity.
 Don't complain of the food and go in for general criticism. This enrages the old girls who love the school and exact a school spirit In newcomers.
 Don't go in for brushes on a day or two acquaintance. Don't go in for them at all if your school life is to be broad ening and you wish to be a general fayorite.

Superstitions

The Duke of Abruzzi recently invited a few acquaintances, including several ladies' to a midnight supper at GreesQ- ney-St Jean, little watering place neaF Aosta, Italy
 Just as they were about to sit down to table somebody noticed that the company numbered thirteen-the duke and twelve guests The duke merely laughed when the old superstition was recalled to mind, but as he noticed that some of the ladies were uneasy he summoned the head waiter and asked him to suggest some one who could make the number fourteen.
 All the inmates of the inn were in bed, but the head waiter thought that the head chamber maid might be induced to join the company to relieve 1t of the hoo doc.
 The duke hastened upstairs to the head chambermaid's room, knocked at the door, told who he was. and explained
 lie motive of his unconventional visit
 Only too glad of the chance to get into such aristocratic society, the chamber maid dressed in haste and went to the

Talking Shop

Wise is the woman who, in general conversation. studies, in so far as 1t is possible, not to bring in her own person al affairs. Naturally. she is interested in the things that fill good share of her life, but she remembers that those to whom she Is talking may not have the same keen interest. They have other activities, other thoughts. The getting away occasionally from distinctly per- sonal matters is, in itself broadening and refreshing.
 There are some people-we all know them-who are really bundles of a single thought. No matter when we approach them or where. we know what the gen eral trend of their remarks will be. They will talk along their chosen line, their absorption in the subject amounting al- most to an obsession. It is on this &C., count that people who know the failing of such a woman, avoid her when possi- ble.
 On the other hand we all have friends whose conversation Is constant delight a veritable inspiration. because 1t Is full of surprises. They not only have some thing entertaining and really worth while to say. and on a subject far removed from the personal. but they possess the happy faculty of drawing out those to whom they are talking, so that the con. versation is an exchange of ideas and not a mere one-sided or one-voice talk | It Is this interchange of ideas which is beneficial and helpful

 While we enjoyed our drink, we cast our eyes about to see what other people were drinking and to our amazement we saw more people order Sundaes-not the ordinary garden variety of Sundae, but those wonderfully and fearfully made. with nuts and raisins and crystallized fruit and all sorts of things. than any other drink.

 What would you recommend?" she asked kittenishly.
 How'd you like a vanilla ice dusted over with maple sugar, sprinkled with nuts and covered with a chocolate syrup?"
 Fine" she replied very much pleased, and put bunch of whipped cream on the top.'
 HShe's fat and she's glad of it, said Peggy as she nudged me.
 Well. at least she orders what she wants when she wants 1t, and doesn't seem to care much about her figure," l replied.
 ''Where's her figure?" piped in Peggy. Feather bed tied in the middle. And Dolly, I'll buy the lunch today if that girl coming in right now doesn't order a chocolate Ice cream soda"
 But she was mistaken. and before could answer the aforesaid person had said to the soda water man:
 Please fix my Ozo-Ola with a dash of lemon in it. never seem to be able to do things until I have bracer."
 If you've ever been in a soft drink es- tablishment you know that while you are waiting for your change that you can see in a short space of time more queer things. more freakish folk, more human nature jumbled up together than any where else in the world.

 A school outfit that is positively guar anteed to delight the hearts of all small maidens, and some small boys, is shown at one shop. It consists of trim-look- ing bag of black leather, containing F pieces. There are two imposing compost ton books, a good compass and divider, box of colored crayons, pencil sharp ener. scratch pad, eraser, combination pen and pencil. and a seperate pen. lead pencil and ruler. The bag is large enough to hold other school books.
 In the same shop their Is a neat fold ing lunch box. black on the outside and lined within with an oil-finish cloth that is said to be particularly clean and sani- tary. When not in use the box can be folded flat and put into school bag or overcoat pocket.

The pretty chafing dish with its rich copper tints and light brass trimmings Is only one item in this charming outfit There Is little copper rack for toasting bread which fits right over the top of the alcohol lamp, a salt and pepper shaker, polished wooden fork and spoon, half dozen plates, also of the copper and with a slvery lining, and a beauti- ful mahogany tray with glass cover. This is as complete a set as any girl could wish.
 Most cooks will prefer a glass measur- ing cup to one of tin. because there Is not danger of furnishing or of 'tinny' taste.
 The ordinary clothes prop is a most un- trustworthy and traitorous article as many a woman has learned to her sor- row and disgust. Even a slight gust of wind tugging at the clothes is likely to loosen the prop from its moorngs and to drag the family wash into the dust and grime. The new clothes prop could mt act so neanly even If 1t felt so dis posed.

"Straws show which way the-drinks go,' said Peggy as we took our seats at a tiny little table in one of the fashion able Soft Drink" establishments few days ago and scanned the crowd to see what was happening.
 Do look at that woman,' she contin- ued, as a large, billowy person deposited herself on a revolving stool before the marble fountain to assuage her thirst.

 The foundations of many of the new frocks are very tight at the feet, but the fullness of the chiffon overdress removes 1t miles from the ubiquitous "hobble. Straight lines are absolutely de rigue and if one is not as straight as tomb stone one is not in the fashion.

The Longest Dance on Record

The longest dance on record is proba- ply that of William Kemp, an actor of some celebrity ih the reign of Queen danced all the way from London to Nor wich. He was attended by tabourer a servant and an overseer, and it was doubtless good thing for him that there were no omnbuses or police then, for they would probably have imposed more impediments in tho way of his progress than did the country people He started with several presents of greats and six pences for luck, and laden with these he danced to Stratsord without rest. Subsequently he went in for early rising, to avoid market people, and though suffering with a sprained hip which he received. he danced 1t well again. to the delight of the crowd which accompanied him. some 200 in number. When she reached Norwich he had to dance in and out of the city twice, for his ovefseer missed him and made him do 1t again.
