PARLOR OUT OF DATE
NEARLY EVERYBODY NOW HAS
A LIVING ROOM.
How This Apartment Should Be Deco
rated and Furnished - Down
Stairs Front Room or Dutch
Hall the Best Choice.

To-Day almost every one has a liv'
Ing room, and any house is ;ncom-
plete without one. Some people are
10th to let go of the old-fashiOned and
hopelessly out-Of-date parlor, with its
set Of plush furniture, its what-not
and its lace curtains.
Still, every one would like to be up
to date, if possible; and in this arti'
Gle it will be the endeavOr to show
how a parlor car be turned into a liv'
ing room and how a living room
should be furnished.
The room to choose for the purpose
would, of course, depend on the con-
venience of the family; but in the
average house the downstairs front
room or the Dutch hall would be the
best choice. Should this be imprac-
teal, either the front or back room on
the second floor could be made to an
swer.
Except in the case of the Dutch hall,
where the woodwork is stained to
blend well with the surroundings, or
when, in individual cases, it is con
sidered best to leave it the way it is,
it is usually advisable to change the
color of the woodwork to white or
cream. Even in the hall this has been
worked out most successfully by paint
ing all the wood white with the ex-
ception of the staircase, where the
tread of the stairs and the handrail
are Of mahogany.
AS to the wallpaper. it is best to

HOW TO USE THE POSTICHE
Hair and Kept Untangled
and Clean.

The best postiche is made from
ones own combings. 1t is not hard to
find a hairdresser, even in small
towns, who makes false hair into va
rious forms; II not, the combings can
be sent to a city establishment. The
cost of making is less than a bought
postiche, and the risk lessened.
See that the piece is tightly woven.
If too loose, the hair pulls up and
roughens. When this occurs there is
no cure but reweaving.
Never let a postiche get tangled.
Brush it daily, or as often as worn,
with a brush with rubber back and
stiff bristles. This tears the hair less
than combing. Occasionally put a
few drops o. b%rilliantine on the brush.
1t will take away the dead look that
so quickly comes to false hair.
A postiche should not be allowed to
lie uncovered collecting dust. Keep
it in A drawer for cleanliness.
A postiche should be frequently
washed. especially when the hair has
been shampooed, for dust is trans
ferred from it to the clean scalp. Use
a suds Of white soap, which is rinsed
well later. or gasoline. Dry quickly.
shake we'll, and brush until fluffy.
The adjusting Of a postiche is impor-
tant. Brush the hair forward and pin
the edge with small steel pins. Then
brush back in sections. pin into place,
and draw ones own hair loosely over
1t or not, as you wish. Some women
prefer brushing the postiche and front
hair back as II all were grown on the
head.

NEW WAR NOW POSSIBLE
Breach Between A strla and servia

Anger Serbs.

London, Dec. 11.-That the breach
between Austria and Servia is stead
lily widening toward the point where
ordinary diplomatic intercourse must
fail to bring about an understanding
is indicated by several developments
in both countries.
Servia. so far as Austria has been
concerned, has occupied herself with
the task in hand-the Balkan war
and apparently given little attention
TO the loud threats OF the Austrian
foreign Office. During the past week
however, according to dispatches
from Belgrade. several private citi-
zens visiting Austro-Hungarian from
tier towns have been arrested for
spying and i'll treated even after
showing their proper credentials
These facts have infiamed the Ser
vlans, who declare they will welcome
a second war on the h0ls of the one
they have just fought1f that is the
only way to correct the Austrian at
titude.
