Personal APPEARANCE.

Although the fairies may not have
included beauty in their christening
gifts 1t is the duty OF every woman to
use every means in her power to i'm
prove her personal appearance when
ever possible.
One of the chief charms hat a
woman possesses is her hair, so b girl
who wishes to become good-looking
should begin by conscientiously and
systematically caring for her hair. 1t
is no good to begin hair culture and
continue It In spurts. It should be done
with regularity and begun while one
is still young.
There are two rules for the care of
the hair which every girl should re-
member. One is that absolute clean
Illness must prevail and the other lie
hat the hair must have daily ventila-
ton.
To ventilate the hair thoroughly lei

movement several times, shaking the
hair gently; then part the hair into
strands, shake sideways and stroke
downward. Comb with a coarse comb
and braid loosely. This should be done
every night.
Brush the hair with a gentle move

in a contrary direction to which il

girl must decide for herself. II the

1t is every week or every month.
AS a general thing, however, the
girl who is in the city all day needs a
shampoo more frequently than the girl
whose homo is In the country, as the
dust and CRIME of the city streets
settling in her hair will, Of course, soil
the scalp and hair quickly.

Pirates and Private Secretaries.
TT was a little station made gloomy
by a single light. Once In so often
a fast train stopped, il properly

romantic, now that he had arrived,
dropped his handbag on the damp plat
form and took his bearings. 1t was
after shutdown. The sea, but a few
yards away, was a murmurlng, heaving
blackness, save where here and there a
wave broke. The wind was chill, and
there was the hint of a storm coming
down from the northeast.
