the natural hair is thin, to support it.
The hair must first be parted off at
each side in a part extending from the
forehead to the nape of the neck.
This divides the hair into three equal
ly heavy strands, ore along the center
and one at each side of the head.
Each portion is then waved
The hair at the sides is combed for
ward to be out of the way, and the
central portion separated in three
strands and lightly rolled into three
twists, which are pinned down and
afterward combed together so that
they have the appearance of one long
twist of hair. This must be soft and
loose-looking and to provide support
the hair at the crown is to be tied
before it is twisted, and afterward
spread into the long roll. Invisible
wire pins help to join the three sep

The hair at the sides is brought up
to the twist, the ends turned under
and the side hair pinned along the

If there is not enough hair to make

A MONG the new ways Of doing the

At the end of the summer women
had become very tired of the same
ness in fashionable coiffures and were
eager for something-almost anything

Hairdressers took advantage of this
state of things, and the readiness with
which the French twist was accepted,

boCying something of the French
twist in conjunction with neatly
waved hair, they have produced some
charming coiffures none of them more
artistic and few of them as pleasing

This couture is called the triple

becoming to almost any face, and it is
distinctly new. 1t does not require a
great abundance, but takes some time,

CASTOR OIL IS
 TASTELESS NOW
A Remarkable Step Forward in Oil
 Refining.

Pure. clear castor oil, without taste or smell. is a recent discovery of the house of Spencer Kellogg & Sons, refners of vegetable oils.
 The Kellogg mills take away the nauseatiHg taste. but remove none of the good properties of castor oil.
 As KelIogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is merely purified castor oil, it works bet ter than the evil-sasting, evil-smelling dose of the past, aud does not upset the stomach. Children take 1t easily. , Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil has been supplied to all druggists. not ln bulk, but in neat 25c and 50c bottles. It is necessary to ask for KelloRg's by name to distinguish it from disguised castor oil. favored with peppermint and other strong essences. The trademarked label bears green castor leaf, with the sigma ture, Kellogg's.
