Chineses Coidures Now

The Chinese influence on fashions ex-
tends now TO the coiffure. and the latest
style of hairdressing is the high chignon,
adapted from that worn from time i'm
memorial by Chinese women, but piled up
more loosely and lightly. and deftly ar
ranged to suit the wearer's type OF
beauty. Sometimes the hair is swathed
low and full at the sides, entirely cover
ing the ears, or II may be drawn back in
a loose pun. showing the lobe Of the ear
and tiny jeweled earrings. The long
pendant eardrops are occasionally worn
The chignons are always very high. and
are often encircled with one or two
slender chains of jewels. A soft. straight.
fuffy fringe across the forehead is very
becoming to some women
This is emphatically the season for
dark beauties. Blac': hair is extremely
fashionable. and is startlingly effective
with a pale. clear complexion and vivid
red lips.

To cut the stitches simply wind the

The patent hook forms the stitches al

letters.

Churches Used by Soldiers.

the NEST trying that developed from
Federal occupation of Southern territory
There was scarcely hamlet in the South

churches. by reason of their situation,
became points for military concentration.
Very often troops We're camped around a
church and some of the soldiers occupied
it as their quarters From more than
one Virginia church the pews were re-
moved TO furnish firewood for camp fires.
The military use of churches was not
new. and reused far less resentment in
the South than the efforts of Federal
officers to control the utterances of
preachers.
