same care must be taken in adapting it
to the face in question that must be
taken throughout life. If the forehead is
high, puff the hair over it. Let little
curls escape from the bow to soften the
line. And pull and puff the hair little
over the ears especially If they are big

" HERE are certain fashions that
come and go in the matter of
children's hair dressing, just as
fashions in their mothers coiffures come
and go. But in children's hair dressing.
even more than in their mothers, the
first and only test that should be put to
the chosen couture is that of becoming
ness.
Hair can make or mar a face. 1t can
be bristling, faded hair, yet if it is ar
ranged becomingly. the best that is in
the face is brought out. On the other
hand, the softest, curliest, most glowing
hair can be so badly arranged that it
loses all its beauty and brings out all the
ugly lines of the head and face it adorns.
OF course, there is a regular sequence
of hair styles for little girls. AS soon
as it is long enough it is bobbed, In
regular bowl fashion. and worn with a
bang in front-not regular bang, but
with the short hair brushed irreguIarly
down over 1.-The forehead or else pushed
to one side or the other.
y
Next, the front hair is allowed to grow
longer, and is parted at one side and
tied at the other with a big bow. The
next stage shows the hair hanging loose
in curls or ringlets or waved a little.
And next it is tied back with a big bow
somewhat below the nape of the neck
and either is braided loosely in a single
braid or allowed to hang loosely. Usually
the big. single braid is the step before
turning the hair up.
Bodied hair is becoming to almost
any childish face. and so is hair arranged
with the big bow on one side of the
head. Even in these early stages, how
ever. the hair should be arranged with
reference to the child's features. If the
forehead is very high. the hair should
be taught to curl or at least lie softly
on the brows. If the forehead is too
low, the hair should be brushed away
from 1t in little parting.
1t should be cut in a straight line, just
below the nape of the neck, and cover
ing the ears. And to look its best the
bobbed couture should be allowed to hang
straight over the ears and not pulled
behind them

Chestnut stuffing for poultry of various
sorts Is a delicacy. But some persons
think that chestnuts should not be sub
jected to such long cooking as they must
undergo If they are used as stunning. In
stead, roasted poultry can be served with
roasted or boiled chestnuts or boulettes
as a garnish, and the same delicious COM
bination of meat and nut fiavors obtained
as if the stuffing were used.

Here is a recipe for chestnut stuHng:
Shell and boil two cupfuls of chestnuts
and chop them fine. Mix them with two
cupfuls of fine bread crumbs, and add
chopped parsley-about tablespoonful
salt and pepper literally and half cup
full of melted butter.
Chestnut Bavarian cream is made IN
this way: Peel, boil and rub through a
sieve chestnuts enough to measure
pint. Moisten this pulp with half a cup
full each of cream and strip made OF
equal parts of sugar and water boiled
for five minutes. Add an ounce Of granu-
lated gelatin that has been soaked and
dissolved in a little water.
In the meantime prepare some choco-
late Bavarian cream in this fashion:
Whip a cupful of cream and stand 1t on
a strainer to drain. Scald a cupful of
milk and add half a teaspoonful of va
nilla extract and the yolks of two eggs,
beaten with q quarter of a cupful OF
sugar. Stir over the fire. Then add an
ounce of chocolate dissolved in little
milk and stir until it is thick and smooth.
Soak half an ounce of gelatin In a
little cold water and add 1t to the Gus
tard when 1t is removed from the fire.
When it is cold, beat 1t for few mo-
ments with dover egg beaten and then
lightly fold In the whipped cream.
Line a mold with this chocolate cream
and when it has set, fill the center with
the jellied chestnutS. Cover with the
chocolate cream and serve with whipped
cream.

Several church dignitaries agree

laymen.
Rev. Arthur ]. Waldron, vicar of
Brixton, has expressed himself as be-
ing in favor OF a censorship of all
hymns, many of which he deems abso-
Lutte balderdash, which people rush
through without the slightest appreci-
alton of the meaning of the words.
The vicar said recently: 81 am with

number of deaths exceeded the num-

PREACHER AND PILLS.
(Brimfeld. Ill, News.)

We can't vouch for this, but IT'S
pretty good, Just the same: When a
person gets something for nothing,
said something usually contains a jok-
er or has string attached to it
For instance a certain preacher re-
ceived from a patent medicine COM
pany an offer to provide. his church
with song books free of any charge.
1t was explained that there would
be few ads in the front and back Of
the books. but that these ads would
not be offensive TO the members of the
congregation, since the books were
being secured for nothing
The preacher gave the order and the
books arrived. He found the ads to be
mildly worded and decided to use the
books. He explained from the pulpit
how the books had been secured and
announced that they would sing 10
PA.
Imagine the peoples surprise when
on reaching the second verse they
found themselves singing. "Hark, the
heavenly angels sing, Johnson's pills
are just the thing; Angelic voices
meek and mild-two for a man anC
one for child"
