TAKE TIME TO DRESS HAIR
Advancement Of the Couture Means Ev-
erything Where the Ensemble
10 Considered.

AZ most women know. the manner
in which the hair Is dressed is Of vital
importance in the question Of produc-
ing a fashionable or questionable ap-
pearance. Indeed. nothing so spells
the effect of q smart gown and hat as
badly arranged tresses, while on the
other hand the plainest of plain frocks
or a simple blouse and skirt can look
perfectly up-to-date II the wearer's
head be well dressed In the prevail
ing style of the moment.
Hairdressing Is one Of the items OF
dress in which fashion DEGREES change
more rapidly than anything else. The
curls of one month are taboo the
next: the chignon of one season Is re-
placed by plaits the season following;
fringes come and go, straight or curly.

tenance. according to individual luck.
Young girls have the advantage over
older women in the fact that their
youth makes It possible for them to
wear almost any style successfully.

around the face and the general out

soft waves and rolled mp twist at the
back of the head being on the whole
far more becoming than the severe
chignon or sQuare-cut fringe Of little
while ago.
Seen recently were three charming
examples that the hairdressers are
using extensively. Fringes are being
entirely done away with, but In their
place are arranged loose waves that
fall on each side Of the forehead and
well over the ears. In fact, for the
couture to be entirely fashionable the
ears should be hidden altogether. but
this line does not suit the contours Of
all faces.

els II one counts on wearing them an
other season.
, In some Of the shops the prices Of
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. one
may obtain for SIS 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 ara still more sweeping.
This winters lines are so individual
and in many cases SO extreme that
holding winter models oyer to another
season would be q 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.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1914-02-13

Both in the small shops and the large
department shops excellent bargains
in velvet, velveteen and corduroy are
offered, and in fur-trimmed garments
as well.
Winter coats are quoted at prices
which. in some instances. seem alb
surdly low. and the leftover hats are
much reduced in price. But there are
few desirable things among them. and
q hat made to order costs as much as
it would have cost two months ago.
This last statement does not apply
to frocks. A numbeE Of the smart tall
ors and dressmaking departments Of
many of the shops offer tempting rates
at this season of the year. The south
bound crowd does not by any means
furnish enough orders to keep the
dressmakers busy between winter and
spring seasons. so reduced prices for
work are announced.

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
far, at least as the sleeves are con-
cerned. For It Ii q simple matter to
cut a four-inch strip Of satin as long

day. He'd 90 home at night and sleep.
and he'd save a little money. But
soon the bug would start working on
him. The first symptom would show
in his buying a cane and discovering
Broadway. The next downward step
would be learning to eat spaghetti In
Italian restaurants. After that the
rest was simple. The young man
would go home In the evening. but
only to change his collar and get his
stick. Sometimes he would eat and
sometimes he wouldn't. But no mat
ter, when you'd see him uptown at
night under the lights you had to ad-
nit that he looked like typical New
Yorker. and that was what the young
mans soul craved. After that he'd go
home and feel that the day had not
been misspent.

II he hadn't come from Oskaloosa. or
Chicago or some other American city
he'd be ready to fight. He was New
Yorker by this time, and II he got as
far as Coney Island he thought he was

book on a young but misspent life.

bug had done its work. They were

would rather live there thirty minutes
than any other place thirty years;
they said so themselves. That was
why the park benches always were %

What became of them all? Nobody
knew-or cared. New York was the
drst city in this country to discover
that 1t could do away with it, heart
and soul. People used to talk about

HOMEMADE REMEDIES TO

mules, are shortly to be published by
the department of agriculture. In
these tests, the specialists OF the de-

from the animal for from one to
four days They also tested num-
Der of substances to be used on
wounds to prevent the screw worm
fly from depositing it's eggs, and the
house fly from interfering with the
wound and possibly injecting it.
In general, the conclusions are that
many of the substances, such as
pyrethrum powder, camphor citron-
ella, and sassafras, while temporary
repellents, lose their effectiveness
very shortly. Ten per cent. solutions
of the liquids in cotton seed oil,
therefore, commonly have to be ap-

Various oils, emulsions of oils, and
mixtures of oils are used in repelling
flies. Crude petroleum, cotton seed

Fish oil is rated as one of the best
repellents and has been used alone
and in combination with various other
substances. Other substances that
have repellent qualities and that have
been used in various mixtures are

acid, oil of pennyroyal and kerosene.
The protective action of fish oil is
stated to range from less than two
days (Parrott, 1900, to six days.

for two days. This mixture is safe
when applied lightly with brush.
