DEATH-DEALING KISSES

The most famous example of kisses
that have caused death is furnished by
the story of the sprightly young Duchess
OF Gordon, who raised so many recruits
for the famous Gordon Highlanders. In
the early days of the regiment recruiting
was very slow. but the Duchess attIred
herself in the regmental colors, and made
tour of the various markets and fairs
offering 10 each recruit guinea and a
kiss
Most of the recipients paid for the kiss
with their lives. No sooner was the regi-
ment raised than it was sent to fight the
French and in the first engagement in
which the Duchess's recruits participated
there was loss of 300 killed and wound
ed All the right hanking company was
hit save one and he. curiously enough
did not happen to be a recipient of the
young Duchess's kiss. He was a. GAMMA
Aberdeenshire man. and for an extra
guinea he sold his right to another per
son to kiss from the Duchess's rubv
lips.
The Gordon Highlanders are fighting In
the present war with the same magnIfi-
cent courage and bravery that have ever
distinguished that most gallant regiment.

FRENCH ART GIVES
RARE CHARM TO
GIRLS DANCE FROCK
Free From Sophistication of
Dinner or Ball Dress, but
Marked by Premeditated
Simplicity.

For the girls who arc neither "out" nor
lin" and who go to almost as many
dances rs their elders and bctters the
dance frock should be chosen with par
tcular care.
1t should not have the sophisticated air
of the dinner dress. or the ball Dress but
its simplicity should be of the premedi-
tated kind, and not the accidental.
1t is because the French dressmaker
has felt the same 10y of creation that
inspires the artist or the sculptor that
Paris has become a Mecca for lovers of
beautiful clothes.
A frock must be picture to realize the
French conception, happily harmonious in
scheme of color and symmetrical in out
line.
They take an almost childish delight
in dressing each age not merely appro-
priately but in idealizing it. and deck
ing 1t out in tho trappings that will pro-
claim it's exact status so that all who
run may read.
The Partisan conception of the style
suitable to the "Ieune file" is TO array
her in n way that will typify ell that
there Is Of freshness and youth. land to
enhance the charm that is borne by those
that are still "unspotted of the world
The dress shown in the Illustration is
designed from the Partisan point of view
In treatment and in the color combina-
tlon it is essentially French-unmistak-
ably young girls frock, with rosebuds
to symbolic the age.
It is made of the softest taffeta.
taffeta that has so much in the way of
sheen and shadow that it is easy to
mistake it for a Changeahlc silk.
The color is blue. the family turquoise
blue that has a charmingly artless look
when it is combined with pink.

MY LADY'S COIFFURE

The trade in human hair is a big in
dustry. Italians easily take the lead
in this traffic. the main source of their
supply being obtained from the peasant
women of Italy, Dalmatia and Switzer-
land. Several times a year these human
hair merchants send their agents around
to collect supplies. which are usually
immense. for hair-growng is cultivated
on very large scale by these women,
and yields a good remuneration to the
producer. Two crops of hair year, and
looking none the worse for the loss, is
not extraordinary among these peasant
women. Half the hair at the back of the
head is shorn off, the remaining half being
drawn over the exposed part and dressed
in such manner as only to be de-
tected on very close scrutiny and by
those experienced in the trade.

THE FINGER-NAILS

The cutting of the finger nails is one
of those little tasks from which we are
relieved only by the grave. 1t is COM
puted that their average growth, In sick
ness and in health, is ne-thirty-second
of an inch a week, little more than an
inch and a half year.
This rate of growth, however, is not
the same for all the fingers. the thumb
and the little finger being the ones who's
nails grow more slowly than the others,
while the middle finger Is the fastest of
the lot. In summer it has been OBJ
served that they grow quicker than I'm
winter, and some authorities hold that
the nails on the right hand lengthen
more rapidly than those on the left. In
either case they grow four times as fast
as the nails on our toes.

] learn that business men are generally
divided into two classes one the detail
man. the other the large plan man or
executive. Sometimes man combines
the qualities ve both groups. but generally
he belongs distinctly to one or the other
type.
Now the detail man is the one who
carries out orders. lie is responsible for
the thousand and one details which make
up the day of that particular business.
He does not plan for next week or next
month or next year. He does what he is
instructed for a very small period in ad-
vance without question, without initia-
tive, and without using any creative abil-
ity,
The large plan" on the other hand is
tho one in whose brain originates the
general policy of the business, che plans
and ideals toward which the business
shall work and the larger results not only
for next week, but for years ahead. He
appreciates the value of detail and knows
all details thoroughly, but the bigger idea
in his mind is his business in all its de-
pdrtmcnts and as a whole. Without his
creative sense and his imagination there
would be no business, and on him the
burden of responsibility falls.
Now | have often compared homc-mak-
ing to business. If this is true. what type
of woman shall direct the business of
home-making? Shall it be the detail or
the large plan woman? I think you will
agree with me when say that the bulk
of women hOme-makers fall now into
the detail class. They perform schedules.

A SCHOOL FOR LOVERS

For some time Munich has had its
school for lovers'-they call it the
"Hochschule der Observation-Disclosures
but it is not nearly so formidable as its
name At this sentimental seminary the
student is taught all the secrets of love
and wooing; the desirable qualities of a
life-partner; how to create the best i'm
preston and how to outwlt rivals; the
proper time and method of proposing, the
mysteries of the wedding day how to
make the most of the honeymoon, and
so on. The school, we understand, is a
great success, and justihes itself by a
brilliant array of results.

THE DETAIL VS.. THE LARCE-PLAN

week or month. Their marketing is done
on the daily or at most weekly plan. Their
accounts arc kept hazardly, with no idea
of future end OF plan ten years of.
When they buy equipment they do not
consider it permanent investment but
present expenditure. They are tied up
in Il mass of detail and believe that home
making does not offer them the oppor-
tunity to use the creative executive and
more broadening qualities which they
think they possess.
l deplore this because the detail man
or detail woman is never as great as
the large plan individual. 1t is seeing
only in the present and being smothered
in n mass OF daily detail that prevents
stability and development for the high
est kind of family life. The mother who
spends unnecessary sums and time on
Susie's hair ribbons is not thinking as a
rule of practical plans for Susie's college
education. The woman who buys what
she wants and whose expenses are not run
on budget plan is the woman who Is
eNtravagant and who is partly responsible
for the high cost of living. The woman
who idoizes fancy guest room and yet
has no place in her home for the develop
ment of her boys taste for manual train
ing or electricity Is not the large plan
woman
The successful business man Is al
ways the large plan individual first. He
must and does know details. But it Is his
visions and ideals which create and build
that business to success. The successful
home maker must also be the large plan
woman 1t must be her ideals and her
perception of a future education, a fu-
ture permanent home, future clean city
which will make home making the highest
success.
