H HEssIANs.

They Were Good Soldiers, and Some
R@AArns aaad Americans
There is a popular belief among come
peoRaezxthat the Hessian m~ereenaries
brought here BY the British govern
ment to fight the Americans remained
here after the wal was. over and that
their descendants constitute a consid-
cradle element of the Pennsylvania
Germans OF today. Comparatively few
remained here after the war, because
the British government was under con-
tract. to return such as escaped the
casualties Of the war after 1t was over.
The few that remained made good cfti-
zens. as they made the very best sol
diers against the Americans, and
whenever 1t was practical to do so
they were put in the most responsible
places by the British commanders.
The intense hatred at one time
against the so called Hessian soldiers,
some of which still fingers with the
present generation, is very unjust, be-
cause they did not volunteer to fight
against the Americans, but they were
forced into the British service by the
im~pecunious German princes who sold
them to the British like SO many
slaves. The Hessian soldiers would
sometimes take a notion to desert, and
they invariably found refuge among
some of the German colontsts. A con
siderable number Of them were left
behind from time to time on marches,
on account Of sickness or wounds.
These always found a ready welcome
among German settlers; few of them
ever found the way back TO their ma
tive Neutrality-suspicious. Germans"

Woman's browning glory has
won belated victory.
Simple and artistic coiffures
are the fashion.
While braids, puffs, curls,
bangs and crignons are still worn,
no longer does the fashionable
girl or woman overload her lovely
head.
With the exception of the Greek
psyche knot, the hair is now
dressed close to the head.
Waves and curls are correct,
but both must be natural or at
least must have the effect of ma
ture. Marcels are no longer seen.
The girl who can effectively
wear her hair In a low knot at
the back of her head is fortunate
this season. This is one of the
prevailing fashions, and it is as
pretty as it is graceful.
The knot may be a single large
one In the nape of the neck, two
on either side Of the nape, or a
one knot must be close after the
other.
When the hair is deliberately
dressed 1t may be puffed. These,
however, are no longer stiff and
set in regular rotation. Rather
are puffs soft. irregular as to
form, with here and there an end
escaping as a ringlet. Hair done

The psyche knot is now placed

With this mode the front hair
may be worn in either of two ways.

small roll or brought down over
the forehead with coquettish
small curls.

things that ever happened to an
aviator was the battle in the air
