FALSE HAIR NOW
IS UNREASONABLE
The CQIffule Brings the Locks
Low on the Forehead.

Never were eoifure effects so fiat and
less false hair used. The smaller the
head. the better. The only false hair
used now by fashionable women is
roll to pose at the back of the head.
on which to place their hair. The ends
of the hair are tucked in under this,
and a barrette is fastened to cover the
spot where stray hairs almost always
show. The mass Of hair is marce!led
once a fortnight or SO, and If there
are not too many short hairs the effect
will be neat.
The Psyche knot is returning to fash
ion. and the helmet form, which is so
becoming. is still worn. In this the
back hair forms the modern French
twist, and the hair is drawn over the
knot and in a way effaces it. Good
effects for the low coiffure are those
Of simple braided strand of hair or
q knot formed in a fiat figure s.
A tendency toward slight flu1fineSs

hair worn by so many women, by
which method the eyebrows are visible.
the ears are almost covered and the
hair is massed On the nape of the
neck
Everything seems to incline to the
low forehead and for woman who
has not such this is easily secured by
bringing the hair over the forehead
and fastening it there with an invisible
pin. When the hair is caught back
in the chignon the front looks quite
natural. Everything is possible in fash
ions Of hairNreSsing. and perhaps in Il
few years the high forehead beauty
may arrive.

MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

It is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use of the Canadian
Trade. These are being. built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal. and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
1t Is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example of the other big concerns,
as it is matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country of the fu-
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An Official of one of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
is the two-cabin boat having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
I'VE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very ex-
tensively," he said, "but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada The
Panama Canal, undoubtedly will re-
ceive lot of attention, but the bust
ness in that route will be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide of immigration that is being di-
verted from the United States to the
Dominion.
1.-The farm land of the vast North
West is the attraction. and while this
flood of immigration is at its height,
the Canadian Government exercises
strict censorship over the class of i'm
migrants admitted. In this way they
are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have
shown an unwelcome face to the PEG
pie of Southern Europe.
