QUEER HEADDR 5SS IN CHINA
Married Women of Mongolia Initiate
Elephant Ears With Their Hair
for a Purpose.

The headdress OF the l1ongclian
woman is a very complicated affair.
When the hair is made up in the
shape of elephants ears it indicates
lnatrimony and when worn in tail it
means that the woman is d spinster
In order to give this shape to the hair
the woman makes 3 parting in the
middle of her head. then drenches the
hair. each side by turn, with a pleas
ing mixture of fish glue and grease.
When it is thoroughly soaked she
spreads the upper part out thinly IN
such way that at its broadcast it
measures alb u six inches wide. To
keep the hair in this shape she en-
ploys wooden clips, which, when the
hair is dry. are replaced, if she can
afford it, by silver or golden ones.
The lower part of the hair is made
into a plat, with silver or golden
ornament at the end to prevent it
coming undone.
These silver or golden clips and
hair ornaments are often set with
precious stones and princesses even
have the whole of the plait hidden
by means of silver or golden rings.
AS the making up of the nair takes a
whole day and the Mongol women are
very lazy and not particularly clearly
in their habits. it is not surprising to

CHAPTER K.

When Gloria Kerr returned from
ST Louis she found half a hundred
%;a;1ing cards awaiting her. The wom-
elI she was anxious to meet had called
while she was out of town Those
who delayed their visits until her re-
turn were people whom she readily
recognized as being quite on the
outer fringe OF society. In them she
was not interested When Gloria went
to return the calls of those whom she
had come to know were regarded as
the first families OF Belmont, she
found no one at home.
Somewhat mortified, but making no
confession OF her feelings even to
Mrs. Gilbert, Gloria threw herself into
the work of rem0deling Locust Lawn
with all the vig0E she would other
wise have expended upon social du
ties. Her active superintendence kept
her a good part of the time III the
country, although she still made her
home with Mrs Gilbert Sometimes
she would pass the night at Locust
Lawn out Of sense OF duty to- her
father. The evenings spent in his
company were not ones of unalIoyed
pleasure. More and more she was
coming TO acknowledge to herself that
her father did not, could not enter
into her fife, into the activities which
gave her pleasure.
Kerr honestly tried, but it was i'm
possible For one thing, he was en-
gagged in a heated political campaign,
fighting to retain supremacy. GIoris,
on her side, saw that she had been
rebuffed socially. and was not on close
enough terms OF intimacy with her
father to, tell him about it. The girl
knew that he had been the social lead
err in Belmont. and she was ashalneS
that she had not been able to- win ala
hearts as he had done

diseases, which have been brought into
Wisconsin cabbage fields by contami

experiments, states that seed from
