Youths Silver Threads.

Gray hair is now the fashion. l
have noticed many women on the
fashionable promenades with young,
fresh compilations and gray or white
hair.
But the great problem is whether
the hair should be dressed high or
not.
This is the question both women
and hairdressers are asking, and this
query is now being decided in Paris,
whittier the best hairdressing experts
have gone.
1.-THE high hairdressing Is very diff
cult to arrange" l was told yesterday.
1T Is almost impossible to dress the
hair oneself, and a frame and a guam
tity of hair are necessary, also.
"Matrons have welcomed the high
pompadour couture, as the low hair
dressing with the fiat design over the
forehead is really not suitable for
them-it is not sufficiently digniied.
"All the h~airdressing now shown
is high, but by this time next week it
may all be altered, If Paris decides
otherwise"
Women are taking a pride in gray
hairs. There is practically little dye

and the community about Town Bank,

moved inland to Cold Spring neigh

In 1705 the first Presbytery organ

BLOUSE NOT A SHIRT WAIST
There is Much Distinction Between
the Two, Though 1t Seems to Be
Seldom Recognized.

Have you noticed that we rarely
speak or read of a shirt waist? In
illustrated advertisements of ready
made clothing we see pictured some
simple, washable waists, but we learn
that they are "blouses." There is a
real distinction, though, besides the
name. The blouse may have all the
engaging p~lainness of the shirt waist,
yet there is a difference, unobtrusive,
though decided. For one thing, the
shirt waist was always starched, while
the blouse is quite guiltless of any
stiffening whatever, unless it be a lit

replace the finish that gives voiles and

REVEAL SECRETS OF OCEAN
Scientist Has Invented New Method
Of Sounding Depths With Accuracy
Submarine Monsters.

The prince of Monaco, himself a eel
ebrated oceanographer, has presented
before the Academy of Science a pa
per in the name of another French ga
want, Alphonse Berget, showing a new
method of sounding sea depths with
great accuracy, NO matter how wind
ing the course of the sounding line
might be in reaching the bottom.
The new sounding apparatus invent
ed by M. Berget is based on the rise
Of mercury in an instrument similar
to a thermometer, except that the rise
instead of heat. The inside of the
glass tube wherein the mercury is
placed is lined with silver, which Is
eaten away by the mercury up to the
point where the latter is forced by the
pressure of the water. The appara-
tus used is graduated beforehand by
means of hydraulic pressure.
Another new fact in oceanography
pointed out to the savant assembly by
the prince of Monaco was a discovery
made by M. Joublin, that the further
descends into the depths of the
sea the more formidable are the mon
sters encountered, and the depth at
which deep-sea monsters live may
practically be gagged by the length
of their teeth and their general fight
ing power.
The prince found explanation of this
in the fact that sea vegetation dimin-
ishes as the depths increase, and that
the submarine monsters are forced
more and more, therefore, to live by
eating n another, as all other can
of s~ustenance fails, and are armed by
nature with proportionately terrible

Cheap Deodorant.

The virtues of bicarbonate of soda
as a deodorant are known and ap-
%preciated by very few-most of them
nurses and physicians. What woman
will not be glad to learn, for instance,
that it is a perfect neutralizer of per-
~spiration odors? There are many ex-
pensive powders put up for this pur-
pose and some of them are effective,
but plain sodium carbonate at five
cents a whole lot is quite as good as
the best of them. 1t may be rubbed
on the shields or through the armholes
Of a white shirt-waist and be relied
upon to n%eutralize any odor. The
armpits may also be bathed with a
solution of it before dressing. The
most fastidious of women, who have
found constant bathing ineffective for
this affection, will find this simple pre-
caution a great boon.

GROUPING
By BESSIE Z. PUTNAM.

A pretty fancy Which is more than
of the hour consists in grouping flow
ers according tp color. We have
found that the best effect is obtained
by massing flowers of a certain kind.
Likewise the unity of color gives
an effect which, is most pleasing, and
with care and Selection one may have
a constant succession of any desired
fall.
The scherAe appeals with special
force to the suburban home, where
the flower garden is never cramped-
or at least should not be. Try and
arrange the flowers so that the screen
that divides the front yard from the
back be- on one side pink and the
other white.

after the procession Of the tulips,
while a wealth of petunias, holly
hooks and coleus may safely smile
across at the cannas and peoples from
the other side of the garden.
Among the blue flowers there is a
rich treat, from the time Of the first
scilla and hyacinth until the last aster
has faded; for lavender and purple
are so closely akin to true blue that
1t seems necessary to include them.
The p~latycodons, Canterbury bells,

iris, aconite, hardy larkspur, aquilegia,
forget-me-nots ~andSveronica are among
the p~erennials suggested, while in an
nuals there are ageratum, Swan river
daisy, bachelors button, pansy, linum
and nemophila.
Note the effect of the different spe-
cies used and gradually weed out the
undesirable forms, and improve upon
those found satisfactory. AS a fea-
ture of landscape gardening the plan

In This They Differ From Those In

Directions for Making Them

Do you remember the slips that

great success that she has passed the

First of all, they virtually are made

Helm to Mothsrs

Whenever riding upon the cars for
any distance with children, they are
sure to want a little luncheon, either
of cookies or sticky candy. Whenever
they get their hands and face terribly
soiled, all you have to clean them with
is a clean handkerchief, which very
seldom takes off all the dirt.
When starting out you should take
a two compartment rubber lined en-.
velope case, just large enough for
your coat pocket or handbag; on one
side have a dampened face cloth mot
too wet) and on the other a dry face
cloth. Then when little faces and
hands are soiled you will have your
damp cloth to wash them with and a
dry one to dry them.
1t will prove to be very useful when
ever with small children.
