nF SEVERAL new high cciffures
W there are a noteworthy number in
which the hair is waved in the even,
Marcel wave, and parted either in the
middle or to one side. In others the
mass of the hair, after being waved,
is brought to the top of the head and
piled in a coil directly back of the
forehead. A third style shows a part
at each side with the hair at the top
of the head drawn back to the crown,
where it joins the back hair to form
a small Psyche knot.
In the couture shown in the picture,
the hair is waved all around tie head.
The front portion is parted off and
combed forward to be out of the way,
while the back hair is brought to the
top of the crown and arranged in a
short French twist. When this has
been pinned to place with short wire
hairpins it forms a foundation to
which the front hair is afterward
fastened.
The front hair is parted and combed
down on each side, just above the
temple. 1t is turned back and combet
off the face from the temple to the
ear. 1t is brought up to the kno'
with the ends curled into a puff. Tit

For present styles the fitted corset
cover or fitted waist, with inside ruff

which the thin woman can adopt.
These waists are cut to fit a normal
figure. The waist, therefore, Is made
too large across the bust. To NIL this
extra room rufies of fine muslin are
sewed to the under arm seams and
arms eye These ruffles are made by
stitching tape or bands OF the fabric
to a long piece of cambria muslin, OF

run through these castings. The ruf

kind are made to fasten either in from
or back.

puff is pinned beside the twist.
This arrangement gives the effect
of three puffs across the top of the
crown when viewed from the front.
Both sides are arranged in the same
manner. The hair is drawn loosely
back to give a soft appearance about
the face and to allow the waves to
retain their position.
Any short locks about the forehead
are trimmed off in a light, even fringe
and curled slightly. They are to be
arranged in short curls at each side

The middle part is suited to very

With the return of wide-brimmed

coIored HANDKERCHIEF.

The snow-white handkerchief is
ousted for the moment; not for every
hour of the day, but for morning wear
especially, and then II. is that fancies
in colors have the lead. These col
ored handkerchiefs are not of violent
coloring as they were some time since.
Instead, they are soft and gentle In
tone, some being quiet even to the
point of dullness. Quiet grays and
browns. yellows and green's, purple
tones and dull reds all come with the
morning handkerchief, which may be
of lawn or, more fanciful still, Of the
finest ninon. Those of ninon are most
ly in fine stripes with a narrow border
of the main coloring; but the lawn
mouchoir is more often plain in its
quiet coloring with a quarter or half
inch hemstitched border of white.

ELECTRIC TIMBER SEASONING
lcaI Changes In Cellulose and
Sap to Prevent Decay.

In describing his latest researches
in the electrical seasoning Of timber,
says the Electrical Review of London,
Doctor Nodon claims that his process
can be applied in the forest where the
trees are felled, since no cumbrous
or costly equipment is required. The
process depends on the electrolysis
of cellulose and it's derivatives. The
ne~wly-felled trees are sawn into thick
planks and laid on a false flooring,
one on top of the other, with the inter
position, however, of moistened mat
ting. or similar material between each
layer, to act as electrodes for intro
duction of an alternating current which
Is passed for ten hours or SO.
The effect of the current is to pro-
duce chemical changes in the cellulose
and the sap. rendering them i'm
pervious to decay. Further, the saI
loses those gummy and MICROSCOPIC
characteristics which normally pre-
vent rapid decaying. 1t Is claimed
that timber thus treated Is ready fol

geneous, easier to work, and les'

process are said to have been in us

The most convenient way to make a
shapely waist of this kind is to buy q
ready-made corset owe or brassiere
and supply it with rufies. This will
give the wearer a normal figure. There
is no economy in making a plain un-
dergarment Of this kind at home, be-
cause the ready-made brassiere sells
SO cheaply. But there is economy In
placing the rufie, for the simple rea-
son that the work required doubles
the price of the waist In the shops.
Perhaps the greatest advantage de-
rived from a waist such as is pictured
here is the fact that 1t may be worn
as a substitute for a corset.

story in his "Lenten Stuffe:" "At
a time when chimneys were not and
when coal vas unknown, a fire Of
wood was placed in the center Of
the principal room of the house,
and the smoke was allowed to es-
cape through the roof, a fisherman

An Artists Mustache.

The mustache was not viewed
with favor in England in the middle
Of the last century. An anecdote
is told of the late Thomas Cooper.
the English artist, to illustrate.
He was brought before a magistrate
in 1916 on some minor charge and
was described in the police report
as being "fashionably dressed, with
large mustaches." The Art Jour-
nal of the date, commenting on it,
said that "no member of the Royal
academy perpetrates the atrocity Of
mustaches, a most un-English af-
fectation." Mr.. Cooper became a
member of the academy a few years
later.

Dyed Articles.

In dyeing at home amateurs Of
ten make the mistake of putting
the dyed article through the wiring
er, possibly to avoid staining the
hands for one reason or perhaps
hoping to dry the garment more
quickly. This, however, should
never be done, for the creases so
formed are most obstinate and, in
fact, often only disappear with
wear, despite all pressing. Dyed
articles should be squeezed from
the bath and hung out of doors to
dry.
