els If one counts on wearing them an
other season.
In some Of the shops the prices o
high-class winter coat and skirt cos
tunes are cut in half so that room
may be made for the coming spring
goods, and the old stock may be clear
ed out. When such sales occur, n
may obtain for $25 or $35 a coat and
skirt costume which sold early In the
season for from $45 to $65.
In velvet costumes and frocks the
reductions are still more sweeping.
This winters lines are so individual
and in many cases so extreme that
holding winter models over to another
season would be a hazardous business
proposition for the merchants. Yet
hesitate to buy exclusively winter
models for the same reason that
prices must be made low enough to
tempt customers into buying for the
three cold weather months remaining

Best Of First Alarm Boxes.

After work extending over two
years, officials of New York city have
devised a fire alarm box which has
been dedicated to the use of New
York without royalty, and it Is ex'
pected that the cost under competitive
bidding will not exceed s45. The
price Of fire alarm boxes during the
last several years under competitive
bidding has run from $75 to SITS each.
The average price has been $125 each.
The estimated saving, therefore, will
be $50 a box. The fire department
experts have finished their box just
in time to meet the needs Of the city,
as only six per cent. Of the boxes are
modern, the rest being obsolete and
many being in an unsafe and ever
dangerous condition.

TAKE TIME TO DRESS HAIR
Advancement Of the Couture Means ~
erythine Where the Ensemble
Is Considered.

As most women know, the manner
in which the hair is dressed Is OF Vltal
inheritance in the question OF proouc'
ing a fashionable or unfashlonaDle ap'
nearance. Indeed, nothing SO spolls
the effect Of a smart gown and hat as
badly arranged tresses, while on n
other hand the plainest of plain frocks
or a simple blouse and skirt can iook
perfectly up-to-date If the wearer
head be we'll dressed in the prevail
ing style of the moment.
Hairdressing is n Of the items OF
dress in which fashion DEGREES change
more rapidly than anything else. lIe
curls of one month are taboo tne
next; the chignon Of n season Is re-
placed by plaits the season following'
fringes come and go, straight or curry
and waves are large or small. But
whichever it is, unfortunate woman
kind no sooner has become ccus'
toned to one way Of fixing up ner
locks than it must be changed ana q
new one instituted that may or may
| not suit the particular caste OF coun'
tenance, according to individual luck
Young girls have the advantage over
older women In the fact that tneii
youth makes 1t possible for them &c
wear almost any style successfully
provided certain soft waves can be lei
around the face and the general out
line that Is most becoming can DC
continued.
This year the style of hairdresslns
in vogue is fortunately likely to SUI
the many rather than. as is so. Otter
the case, only a lucky few, the large
soft waves and rolled up twist at tnf
hack of the head being on the whole
far more becoming than the severe
chignon or square-cut fringe OF a little
while ago.
Seen recently were three charming
examples that the h~airdressers ar
using extensively. Fringes are bein'
entirely done away with. but IN thei
place are arranged loose waves tina
fall on each side Of the forehead ant
we'll over the ears. In fact. for tn
couture to be entirely fashionable tn
ears should be hidden altogether. bu
this line does not suit the contours Q
all faces.

To Keep Out the Wind.

A good Idea, by the way, can be
carried out by the home seamstress
in making her big coat airtight-.so
fan. at least, as the sleeves are con-
cerned. For It is a simple matter to
cut a fourinch strip of satin as long
as the coat sleeve Is big around. to
seam it, to make a hem in one edge
and run a strip Of elastic the size Of
the wrist In It, and to fasten the other
edge around the inside Of the sleeve
four inches from the bottom. A sleeve
finished in this way is warm, no mat.
