utes in this way, then another rub
bling must be given to drive the OIL
into the pores. After this there must
be a thorough brushing, using long
bristles that will go through the hair
and reach the scalp.
The whole treatment will take at
least ten and probably fifteen OF
twenty minutes at night, and it is not
to be thought that all the oil will be
absorbed by the scalp in this time
To the contrary, much will remain
and the head will not look neat
Nevertheless, if necessary, 1t may be
tied in a thin bandage for the night
Oil in quantities it must have, and in

locks are then twisted closely but moi
tightly around the back of the head
and the various switches affected by
fashion are pinned on to completely

we may scott at the results. AS, for

we say some one is speaking of US;
perchance we think we speak truly,

Pleasant Manners.

Life would be more livable if more
of us felt it e. duty to be pleasant
however things might go.
An old woman once told a girl with
q Puritan conscience: stop worry
ing SO much about the right and
wrong of things and keep smiling,
and you will make this world,a better
place."
The girl who learns to keep smil-
ing when she would much rather
weep or storm has gained a victory
over herself beyond penance and
fasting.
Be pleasant, first, from a sense of
duty, and it will soon become habit.
If sulkiness, deceit, i'll temper, nag
ging can get a grip on character, why
not pleasant ways?
If you cultivate a pleasant manner
from no other reason, do so through
self-interest. The girl who is agree
able never means over the worlds

advised the soft answer" rule for

Make a pleasant manner your rule.

Woman to oma

The woman who for any reason
cannot get on with women is prepar-
ing for herself a lonely old age. She
may he beautiful, witty, a ~favorite
with The men, yet there are times
when she realizes that in one sense
she is. a failure. She asks herself
whether one Of the most tangible
forms of success is not to get On with
people. And the greater success-as
she also begins to observe-is to get
on with women. To get on with men
is much less distinguished, for the
odds are all in her favor. Men are
not critical in their attitude toward
her, and respond quickly to atten-
ton or kindness, seldom questioning
the motives underlying either, as
members of her own sex are prone
to do, says Woman's Life. 1t seems
impossible for a certain class of To-
men to be fair to women; ergo, 1t is
equally impossible for them to get on
with other women.

even promised to settle a set amount
of money on him after their marriage.
The two met about three years ago
and became friends. Bower alleged
that Mrs. Ellsworth wrote him en-
dearing letters and that they visited
a hotel in Clifton, where they occu-
pied separate rooms and he was de-
scribed as Mrs. Ebsworth's nephew
There was testimony that Mrs. Eds
worth paid the bills. Mrs. Ellsworth
denied she ever agreed to marry the
young man and said that the letters
Bower put in evidence were written by
her as a joke to the young man. She
says that after he proposed marriage
to her she ordered him never to speak
to her. The jury, however, thought
the young mans feelings had been
wounded.-New York Press.

Wedding Receptions.

Women do not remove their hats
at Gormal afternoon receptions. Hats
should not be worn in the evening.
There should be maids in attendance
to take care of wraps. The bride does
not furnish carriages except for her
immediate party. Guests provide
their own. The matron of honor and
bridesmaid help receive guests, stand
ing next to the parents of the BRIDE
groom. If you take a friend with
you, only the most formal introduce
ton is required, and you do not re-
main to talk with the receiving line.
Nothing more than congratulations
to the newly married couple are re-
quired, except a friendly greeting to
their respective parents. If the re-
ception includes a dance and supper,
the guests go to the dancing floor i'm
mediately they have greeted the re-
ceiving line.-New York Telegram.
