HAIR MODISHLY ARRANGED.

cess is that Of the headdress favored
by Mile. de Fontages. Her pictures
show her with smoothly brushed tress-
es bound rather closely to her head
and encircled with tiny wreath Of
roses. while in the very center of
the front are arranged four upright
loops of transparent material, stiffly
wired into position. This style is now
being reproduced exactly. so that we
get the small floral or jeweled circlet
centered by loops of colored tulle to
match the rest of the toilet.
Another novel headdress, also seen
in an old picture, is closely fitted
cap of black tulle, held in place by
narrow band of black velvet while the
rest of the material is gathered up to-
ward the back of the head, bound
round with a velvet or jeweled band,
and the surplus arranged in a huge
butterfly bow, a remarkable effective
form of headgear for those whom this
rather trying style happens to suit.

Make Your Own BIouses

"a LMosT any girl who can use nee
die AZ all can make her own blouses
and trim her own hats nowadays. be-
cause blouse styles are simple and hats
very scantIly trimmed
For blouses you can get little net or

mendously, for the neck and sleeves are
very important and troublesome parts
Of blousemaking ordinarily.

HOMEMAKING ISNOW THE mode

1t is no exaggerat.on to state that
in New York city alone 100000 girls
and women are now studying home
making-not perfunctorily, but with
the greatest attention and interest
They get results, and their skill shows
for itself. When they bake cake or
make pie or pudding, everybody can
see how well or i'll they have done,
so they determine to do well. Their
hands move briskly before their white
aprons, their eyes shine with eager
ness under their white caps.
And there is nothing exceptional in
the New York situation. San Fran
cisco is doing the same thing, and so
are Boston, St Louis, Chicago and
all the big cities, likewise the little
cities and, moreover, the towns. Home
making is the mode now, the most up
to-date thing there is; girls who want
to keep in the fashion must learn the
old, old arts made new by having new
names attached to them-and must
learn them thoroughly 49,. -. -
The whole. country, from east to
west and from north to south, has
awakened to the value Of this teach

it. Never was seen a more far-reach-

Celebrating A WOODEN WEDDING

Perhaps the jolIiest Of all the we'd

happiness. 1t is known as the wooden

decorations, together with the wooden
gifts, all tend to produce a very in

Of place to attempt to make it in any
way a formal occasion. Fun should
hold carnival. Invitations may be

pieces of birch bark. simply asking
a friend to come and spend the even

If it is to be mixed party, that
is people of different ages, progressive
games form the easiest means of en-
tertainment Tallies are punched, and
prizes are given. The prizes should
be of wood to carry out the scheme.
There is wide choice for selection in
wooden boxes for handkerchiefs,
gloves for kitchen use, and in picture
frames, tabourets, birch-bark fern
