IF it Is true (as those who make
it their business to know, say it
is) that American women have
less hair than the women of other
lands, then we are compelled to ad-
mire the cleverness with which they
conceal this deficiency. One would
naturally infer that variety of styles
in hairdressing would be impossible
to them, but this is not the case at
all. By using switches, chignons,
transformations and the many other
devices of dealers in hair goods, all
the pretty conceits in the changing
fashions in coiffure are copied and
our gentlewomen continue to look to-
day demure, tomorrow vivacious; an
other day finds them with a stately
coiffure and then again they effect
simplicity. No doubt CLEOPATRA rung
all the changes within her knowledge
or invention in matters of dress to
aid her in earning the greatest trib-
ute paid to her fascinations: Age
cannot wither, nor custom stale, her
infinite variety"
Just now we must concern our
selves with suiting our coiffures to
both large and small hats. The new
imports for midsummer are more than
large, one may almost call them enor
nous.
The large hats require a coiffure
designed to fill in the space under
the brim next the face and head,
otherwise they look grotesque and
their beauty Is wasted. The small
hats require only enough hair visible
about the face to frame it, but 1t is
necessary to have a coiffure under

TUB DRESSES FOR A DOLLAR
Dainty Frocks in All Sorts of Designs
Are Now Well Within the
Reach Of All.

1t is astonishing how many dainty
frocks for the summer can be made
these days setting the limit of ex-
penditures at 81, including the pat
terms and threads.
Never before have so many delicate
designs been shown in inexpensive
lawns and ginghams, and the busi-
ness girl should begin now to make
the smart little dresses which she will
wear to the office during the coming
summer.
Two things should be remembered.
One is that much trimming of any
sort detracts both from the cool ef-
feet of the gown and makes it bad to
launder; the second is that however
dainty the very light materials are
they are far less serviceable than q
plaid or a plain buff or blue dress.
AS to the question of expense, be-
gin with the pattern. Choose one Of
the new ones that are capable of being
carried out in several different fash
ions, with or without the high waist
line or with long or short sleeves and
with or without yoke. Thus for Is
cents you will provide yourself with
a pattern for several frocks.
Next, few yards of white null and
some inexpensive lace will make
broad collars and cuffs and a fichu or
a dainty pointed yoke, all of which
will serve as trimming, for your
gowns.
Then as to materials. Ginghams,
plain ones, may be purchased as low
as and 10 cents yard. A good
quality of lawn in dark colors is
only cent or two more in price.

Buy Ready-Made Linens.

Most housewives nowadays effect
great saving in many ways by buying
their bed linen and towels ready made.
These are offered attractivey hem
stitched at reasonable prices. But you
must conform to regulation sizes and
qualities.
Many mistakenly believe that they
can economic by buying sheeting or
toweling by the yard and doing the
hemming or hemstitching themselves.
The woman of leisurely hours who
loves to sew and who perhaps wants
TO elaborate the hens with more or
Iess intricate drawn work may find
this worth while. Most women will
find it advisable to stick to the ready
mades.
