mondaine will envy you when you
set it on your we'll brushed, dain-
tily arranged locks.
The foundation is a soft satin
ribbon bound like the Scotch
snood about your head from fore
head to the nape of the neck.
Now for a bit of advice. Try to
cultivate a sort of tendril or two
at the neck to soften the line
when you dress your hair high.
From back to front of your
foundation ribbon fasten another
ribbon. This extends from center
front to the base of the coiffure
in back. And now set two cross
bar loops of the ribbon across it
to run in parallel lines from side
to side Of the head.
A Final Touch.
And. finally, poise daintilv and
fetchingly on your "snood- ribbon"
a scintillating butterfly This is
the secret of our quivering Pa
pillon's" life: 1t is fashioned, not
of gossamer and flower-dew, but
of things almost as airy and fas-
cinating! Cut four wings of fine
net and arrange insets of flowers
and buds which you have taken
from outworn old lace. Sew the
wings thiCkly with cleaning and
scintillating beads so your butter
fly may be shimmering delight.
Wire the edges of the wings with
fine lace wire. And poise "Papil-
Ion" at the particular spot on the
ribbon where he will make you
look most like a flower on which
he has just alighted!

THE GREAT WORK OF CHARLES
r.. HUGHES.

Those who want Vermont republicans
to turn back the hands Of the clock of
progre ; by regulating the declaration of
the state platform of 1912 in favor Of
direct primaries and other progressive
measures Of government closer to the
people will find food for profitable refec-
ton in the following tribute by the New
York Post to the farreaching influence
of Charles z. Hughes in the direct pri-
mary legislation and other measures in
advance Just adopted by the New York
LEGISLATURE:
political reformers should not let their
amazement and qualification at the swift
passage of all the reform bills by the
Legislature yesterday deter them from
studying the true lesson of It all 1t Is,
in a word, that intelligent and honest and
persistent effort is bound to tell, as much
in politics as anywhere else. Many sur
face explanations Of the right-about at
Albany are offered. The Legislature was
both penitent and frightened. II was
only the completion of the great reaction
against Murphyism. Governor Glynn had
the sagacity and courage to perceive the
opportunity, and struck hard at the right
moment. In all these statements, there
is undoubted truth
But the great reason for the sudden
falling of the walls of Jericho lies deeper.
1t is to be found in the energy and unset
ishness OF the men who took up these
reforms when they seemed hopeless, and
pushed them in season and out. amid re-
proach and jeering. Many are to-day
concentrating themselves and are, in
deed, to be congratulated, ON the great
fruiton at Albany, but there Is one man
who deserves most of the credit and who
must view the result with special salts
