MACHINE, NOT A GIRL
Rosy Hears That Her Sweet
heart Is Crazy About a
typewriter.
BY MILDRED HOUSTON HEMING-
wAv

Then you do love me-" he whis-
pered, as he held her in his arms and
tried to reach her lips with his.
Rosy made NO audible reply, bat
gave little sigh of satisfaction and
euddled closer in the encircling arms.
You'll never let anything come be-
tween us?" he pleaded. this time sue
ceeding in turning the pretty face to
his, and preventing any reply by COW
ering the little mouth. At last, how
ever, Hugh managed to gain from the
bashful young girl her confession Of
love, and then the two began planning
for an early marriage. This was
Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning a cloud arose
on the horizon of their love. Rosy was
singing at her work around the house,
when Kathryn Steward ran up the
steps. Kathryn had been married three
months, and Rosy was extremely anx-
ious to contide her engagement to her
friend, SO she ran to open the door.
Before their greetings were fairly over
she began to pave the way for her
confession
Hugh was here last night she
smiled.
Hugh who?" Kathryn asked, al
though she knew as well as Rosy.
Hugh Howard"
Well, what of it?' Kathryn asked,
going over to the mantel and arrang-
ing her hair before the glass.
why, I-well-he was here" Rosy
fa1tered.
Kathryn turned. "You don't mean
to say that you are interested in him ?"
she said. There was real concern in
her voice.
What makes you say that?" Rosy
cried, her eyes filling with tears.
Kathryn forgot her hair, and took
her friend in her arms. 'Ill tell you"
she said, softly.
Rich knows Hugh very well indeed,
and he told me the other night that
he was crazy about a typewriter.
Those were his very words. Said he
could talk of nothing but that type
writer, and you aren't typewriter, are
you?" and Kathryn kissed her little
friend.
Poor little Rosy began to cry. Per-
haps, if left to herself, she might have
sent for Hugh and asked for an ex-

C0IFFURE MATTER OF STYLE
Arrangement OF the Hair Always
Something That Must Be Left
to the Individual.

Many styles OF hairdressing are in
vogue at the present moment, so it
should be possible for every type to
find becoming couture.
There seems to be tendency
among young girls to adopt the high
knot on top. This is generally be-
coming, especially IL the hair Is at
all wavy.
The low pompadour and coil held
In place by q bow is becoming to the
very young girl. Several tiny curls
sometimes soften the line on the neck.
When the side part can be worn be-
comingly it is to be recommended, for
It gives an air of distinction, a certain
'Frenchy' appearance that Is ex-
tremely smart Caution should be
used, however, in adopting this style.
for unless the lines of the face are
soft it is apt to give an unpleasing
look to the face.
The natural pompadour and the dou-
BILE coil, a sort of horizontal figure 8
at the back, is being worn once more.
Everything is soft in hairdressing
just now and the stiff pompadour
and puffs of other years are not to be
considered.
A pretty couture for an elderly
woman is the wavy pompadour with
8 broad coil of the hair on top. Sew
eral fluffy curls should hide the hair
line on the forehead and also cover
the wrinkles that time and trouble
may have etched there.

Girls, from the kindergarten age up
Go the sweet girl graduate, are fond
OF the flexible made" hats, which
they adjust in any manner that strikes
their fancy and can handle with little
care. These hats are "happy-go-lucky

felt or plush. Quite often the fabric
used in coat serves to make a nat

The crowns are cut in sections OF
four to six pieces and neatly machine
stitched together. The brims are in

from a visit to New York city. In
discussing his trip one Of his friends
