WITHDRAWN MONEY
 RETURNS TO BANKS

BOSTON. Aug. 29.-A considerable portion of the money taken from banks during the early war alarm is flowing back into normal channels. Much of this money was withdrawn by mer- chants and manufacturers who feared a possible scarcity of cash to meet pressing obligations, mainly pay rolls
 This return flow is largely offset by increasing demands of interior banks.

1 TITLE girls are privileged to wear
Il their hair in ringlets or ripples or
bobbed off short. And they may have
it braided in neat and shining strands
and still be fashionably dressed as to
their heads. And at the front the hair
may be trimmed across the forehead
in bang or parted In the middle or
at one side. No one style has been
adopted as better than another. but
there is a growing fondness for old
fashioned curls such as the little
daughters of colonial danes wore with
such demure pride.
But however the mother may de
termine to dispose of the matter OF
dressing her darling's head. one thing
is certain, ribbons of some sort will be
introduced in the scheme to the joy
of the wearer and every one within
sight of her. Plain wide taffeta holds
first place in popular favor for hair
bows and is not likely to be displaced
1t is crisp, with crispness that re-
mains, and made in every color of the

are shown In the picture. The bow at

fabrics and long lines that have pre-
vailed through many seasons. Com
PARSONS are odious, but, like the
Athenians. the moderns are always
looking for something rev, and hence
the new modes. Some of them are
destined to die an early death and
the best that can be said of many of
them is that they furnish cue to
designers who take theEa up and i'm
prove upon them.
In the gown pictured the employ
ment of wide, plaid ribbon in bodice
and skirt is a feature that is destined
to live. The easy and comfortable
adjustment of the bodice. and its use
fulness for outdoor wear are commend
able. 1t answers the purpose of a
little coat. finished with a standing
frill of double taffeta about the neck
and sleeves. and the suggestion OF a
basque In the narrow frill about the
waist
The plaid ribbon forms a yoke
slightly full about the waistline. to
which the lower part of the skirt is
sewed. The seam shows piping in
the ribbon. Except for the yoke the
skirt is made of tafreta laid in mar
row side plaits, and finished with a
double frill OF taffeta about the bot
tom. Two similar frills are placed
just below - knees.

of bows and known as the Alsatian
bow. 1t fastens in a strand OF wavy
hair at the left side and its business is
to be purely ornamental.
At the right. the hair is braided in
two smooth braids, starting at the
nape OF the neck. They are wound
with small strands of hair at the
ends and wrapped about the head
The ribbon is in one length. One end
Is tied about the braids at the left
side in bow showing two loops and a
short, slanted end. The ribbon is
brought over the top of the head and
tied in the same sort of bow at the
right side. The braids are actually tied
together by the ribbon.
This style is neat and substantial,
and is said to encourage the growth of
the hair.
When taffeta ribbon becomes
crushed from tying 1t is easily fresh
