end of one braid will extend Ito the beginning of the other, the two form ing a double braid across the tnck of the head. But the arrangement, of the braids must depend upon the length, of the hair. If 1t Is very long they will be coiled and pinned down at the back of the head or wrapped about it. The feature to be noted in this cdffure especially is the fact that the hair is brought forward so that the braids begin above the ears.
 To dress the hair in this way suc- cessfully requires that 1t be first made fluffy A small support Is needed to keep the pompadour in place. A scant supply of natural hair may be dressed in this way by using two short switches in the braids at the sEies.

 Absence of information about move ments of the armies is accounted for by officials as due to the fact that American diplomatic officers are ab- sorbed in caring for stranded Ameri- cans and are unable to call at the embassies or legations where news might be obtained.

 Fine plain organdie or dimity or the best grades in lawn are suited to the dress shown in the middle of the picture. It is also a one-piece slip, with the fulinoss provided for by deep plaits laid over the shoulders in the back and front. The skirt is bor- dered with a wide band at the bot tom, of printed organdie, showing plain and figured stripes alternating, and the sleeves are finished with one plain and one figured stripe of the same material. The figures appearing in the border arc calculated to capti- vate the childish fancy. Conventional figures. ike snow crystals and much conyentionalized little. dogs and birds interspersed among them character ize this bit of decoration, only suited to young child The sleeves in this dress are elbow length.

They are of fabrics most in demand for occasional wear. They are made in the same de- signs as the simple clothes for daily wear, but show more latitude in the matter of decoration.
 At the left of the picture the little miss is arranged in a party frock of messaline 1t could hardly be more simply cut if it were gingham school dress It is plain slip with parallel tucks running lengthwise at the front and back They, with the shaping of the underarm seams, provide the scant fullness of the skirt. At the termination of the tucks small ros- cites of velvet ribbon are used as finishing touch. The neck and sleeves are ornamented with an applique of heavy lace.
 At the right plain close-fitting slip fastens at the left side. It is made of figured crepe, in white, finished with a sailor collar and bow in black sat in and a sash of black satin ribbon The sleeves are very short and orna- mented with four narrow tucks at the bottom and finished with piping of black satin.

HOUSTON WOMEN START
 CAMPAIGN FOR THRIFT

Houston, Texas, Oct. 24-Led by Mrs. Henry B. Fall, president of the State Federation of Women's clubs, the housewives of Houston have inaugurated a thrift campaign. The high cost of living is to be reduc- ed. The women are going to low CT prices, not by boycotting mer- chants nor by legislation, but by observing the suggestions made at the great mass meeting at which the campaign was launched. Among the suggestions were the following:
 Tt is the woman's business t. buy what goes into the home. She should know her business. Too many women trust the buying to their servants. There are many housewives who do not know what they have in their pantry. House wives should do their own market ing. They should carry their bundles home. Housewives pay delivery charges without realizing 1t. Keep a good scale and dry measures in the house to make sure the merchant has not cheated, Bring the producer and consumer to- gether through the medium of the ward market. Make cheaper beef possible in the future by refusing to buy veal now. Make it impos- sible for middlemen to make four or five times as much as the pro- ducer. Don't encourage the use of fancy labels. They cost money"

By a very decisive vote last month, the citizens of Ruby declar- ed against incorporation. The Rec ord-Citizen in commenting upon the results of the election said:
 This is the second time incorper- ation has failed to carry, the other instance being on March IS, 1915 If this is the will of the majority and it is-it is up to those who have favored incorporation to smile and bow pleasantly to the logic ex- pressed by the ballot. Let the sidewalks rot away and the undraih- ed gutters collect their filth, for many are tired of coming through Tie the children to the bedpost and let the town dogs rove at wili' for they are of value. Let disease and pestilence collect in our mldst' and immortality stalk our dark, un- lighted streets, for the majority wish it.
