SPRING HATS AND THE HAIR
S4eadoear Must Not Only Be In FASH
ion, But Should Have Many other
Requirements.

Edith M. Weidenfeld, writing of the
spring hat in Woman's Home Compan-

hair plays a more important part In
millinery than the average woman ad-
/ Us. The average woman, when Sc

particular style.

CURLs NO LONGER IN VOGUE
Their Tremendous Popularity Thing
Of the Past, at Least for tho
Coming Spring.

Hairdressing is always rather a
vexed question when the new spring
hats make their appearance. Curls,
which perhaps represented one Of the
prettiest types of couture which have
been in vogue for a long time past,
have simply died OF too-extended
popularity, and the pretty shining
punches arranged so Immediately by
the hatrdresser have ceased to exist
for the well-dressed woman. That we
have all Of us felt the loss Of them
there Is no doubt, but the present
fashion is even easier Of manipulation

extraneous aid and consists Of round
frame covered with hair, which is ar

pinned securely to the head, and coils
of the natural hair are twisted around
it, being held in place with the wide
tortoise-shell pins Of which every wom-

The hair is parted in the center or
at the sides, and the effect from every
point Of view is distinctly good, while
it's arrangement is the simplest thing
imaginable. For evening wear special

Benefits of Good Roads.

There is one side to the good road
question which is a good thing and
one which few farmers seem to think
of and that is the market side. Why
does the price of farm butter and eggs
climb skyward in the towns every
spring? Because of the short supply.
These things pile up IN the homes of
farmers because they cannot get them
to town. Good roads would make an
even market all the year around and
would add very largely to farm
profits.
