 Our own hair used to serve as a mere foundation" explained Alice Joyce. the actress. in an interview with Helen starr of the Denver News Now il has again come Into it's own. for to achieve the new cof- fure line of growing hair must show all around the head. If the scalp has had good care the hair line will be thick and even. but the woman with the high forehead and ctin hair will have her difficulties Of course waxing bit Of side hair and clustering 1t on the cheek before the ear is quite passee. but tne woman who finds that she can not pull her hair away from her forehead without looking ugly can make dip of hair and flatten 1t out on the side of the forehead above her ear.
 The ear itself must show quite plainly and to enhance it's unloveiy lines earrings are to be very popu- lar understand To create the ne@ French twist the hair must be flat at the sides and at the nape of the neck SO that the high line at the crown of the head will be sccentuatcd. Part the hair at both sides of the forehead and draw it back into low pompadour Next par the long back hair from the crown of the head 70 the nspe of the neck, Take up one side and secure it with a small comb or hairpins. Fasten it over beyond the middle of the head. then brush al! the hair up together and roll it from the end to the head. If one Is going to wear flat-crown sailor hat, the hair may be flattened more than if one wears a turbal When the French twist first came in the hair Was supposed to be comb ed close to the head.

CARE OF SILVER.

. z, t, ,., .o {, . , (, z, z, (. . ', ; ,
 Every well-ordered household boasts of it's table silver and there is no doubt that a certain variety of sill verware adds greatly to the appear ance of a table. There are, how ever many housewives who fore go the pleasure of having silver be- cause of the additional care 1t re- quires to keep it in perfect condi- tion
 The choice of silver depends on individual taste. The elaborate rais- ed patterns are always beautiful and dress table handsomely, but the plain designs are far easier to clean.
 If you do not possess a silver chest and there is no small cup board which can be used to store your silver. have one made large enough to accommodate your collec- tion. Line this throughout with green baize. and make cases of the same material in which to roll the cutlery.
 These are easily made in this manner:
 Take two strips of baize, one wider than the other, and stitch them together in envelope fashion, the top of the wider half folding over the other. Stitch in vertical lines to form pockets large enough to ac- commodate a knife. fork or spoon and attach piece of tape to one end with which to tie the roll shut.
 Silver must be cleaned regularly, not once every three or four months. IL Is a good plan to purchase an earthenware bowl in which to wash the silver. With boiling water and white soap. make a good father. add ing tablespoonful of washing soda to each quart of water. Plunge the silver into the bowl and wash thor oughly with q pad made of flannel, clean scft towel and polish with clea n.soft towel and polish with a chamois.

Under the above caption in the New York Evening Journal is the following article by the we'll known writer Dorothy Dix:
 T get a great many letters from girls asking the question. Does : pay to be modesto'
 Almost universally they answer their own query in the negative. They say that unless a girl will permit familiarities from the young men with whom she associates sha is left beauless. or, as one young woman pithily puts it. Unless girl will let her escort kiss her good night it is GOODNIGHT for hers, for she'll never see him again.
 Other letters assert that girl has to be good sport, and not too particular. if she expects to re- ceive any attention from men now adays: and still other letters ask pathetically fl there are no more men who care for modest shy, re tiring girls
 Queer comment is afforded on these letters by another letter which I received the other day from q man who says that the reason that Q. and many other young men. do not marry is because they can find no more modest girls This man declares that he is on the search for a shrinking violet sort of a wife, as Diogenes was on the search for an honest man, but that so far he had never found a girl with whom he could not take liberties of speech and action. and so he remains q bachelor.
 Here are tbe masculine and the feminine points of view on the same subject. and it is an Illuminating one for girls.

It may be a blending of colors that are becoming and 1t may be in tho judicious choosing of accessorie7. hats, shoes, gloves and the other trifles that go to complete cos tune.

THE WATER CURE.
(. Z. /, z. /, z. /. z. 2 {. (. . (,

A famous nerve specialist recently said that all people with unhealthy nerves have nothing more than nerves that are dry, and suffer from an insufficiency of fluid in the tis- sues of the body. which really go 10 make up the body's fabrication. l Most people. he says, probably sui fer in degree from this. even though they are not conscious of any definite symptoms, He believes this disease could easily be eradicated if people would only supply their
 systems with plenty of good, clear, old water.
 The human body is so adjusted that one part cannot suffer without
 all other parts suffering. If by ne- glect our nerves are dried up through
 lack of fluid, then it is a certainty that the wheels of our intricate body machinery are being clogged by req son of waste matter which is not washed away.
 It can be readily seen that by tn. use of water a threefold service is done. It feeds, it washes. and it carries away the cinders of the body furnace, and through the want of it We are exposed to many and great dangers. The tissues become too dry, the blood becomes thick, un- healthy, and flows sluggishly and the retained waste of the body sets up condition which the doctors
 call "auto-intoxication." or self.poi

It has been stated by physicians that five or six pinrs should be taken during the twenty four hours.
 The best time for water drinking is at night time and early in the morning. and 1t is we'll to form the

MEXICAN FASHIONS FOR

 Popular Marie Cahill, originator of the long-skirted chorus. will give practical help to the American fash ion movement by wearing Ameyl can designed and made gowns upon the stage. II has long been a recognized fact that stage gowns are regarded as exhibits of the very latest fashions, and many the. atre-goers adopt the costumes seen there to their own needs and ward robes. Miss Cahill believes that American designers are ready for their present opportunity But she says, they must creep before they can walk They should realize the necessity for going slowly. If the American hurry" germ gets into their systems artistry will be sacri. feed for freakishness and their ef- forts will be ridiculed instead of praised. Our clothes must be artis- tic. We have taken all that Paris has sent us regardless of whether it was freakish or not and-ld be the last person to say that all of the French fashions are admirable. We have given Paris to understand that only she could design clothes. The more frequently she changed styles the more often we bought. Whats the answer? She has outdone herself in attempting to create bizarre ef- fects-this seasons clothes had to be as different as possible from those in vogue last season. Which means that in order to keep up to date We had to change our wardrobe every ime the weather changed. The amazing thing is that American de signers have accomplished so much with SO little encouragement. They have had to endure slavish adora. ton of Paris that amounted to noth- ing less than snobbishness.
 The stage can do much to pro- cure the cause of American fash ions" said Miss Cahill, for the stage is factor in setting the styles. Women wear what they see worn, and in my production ! hope in a small way. to encourage the American designers efforts. ] hope to show what the American designer can do if he is given half l chance"

BUTTONS AND THE LAW.


 One of the last surviving of the i'd sumptuary laws of England, now almost forgotten. but once consider ed of great importance in maintain ing one branch of Sheffield trade was that directed against covered buttons. The town dealt largely in horn buttons of different kinds for common wear, as well as in metal md plated buttons for the better class of coats, waistcoats. and gait CTS. From the year 1720 to the end of the century the town annals show that there was considerable though litful zeal under the statute of Anne against the vendors and users )f covered buttons. In 1791 a tailor was convicted in penalty of 40s. l dozen for setting covered buttons On 8 aentleman's waistcoat, and the wearer in like penalty for appearing in garment thus adorned General action was taken against offenders Oy the master and journeymen but ton-makers of Sheffield as late as 1902, but the magistrates gave so little encouragement to these prose cutions that the law, though 1t long remained unrepealed, fell from that time into disuse.

 Since the metal most commonly worked ty the artizans of ancient times was bronze. 1t Is but natural that many of the pins which have been found in ancient ruins were made of that metal. Although the ancients were more or less familiar with brass. yet the invention of the brass-wire pin must be credited to the French. On this point however there is some doubt, for the Dutch claim the honor, and not without reason. In England pins of iron wire were made during the fifteenth cen tury.

 Before the Reformation there were a number of books in use in England, the principal were those of York, Sarum and Hereford. The only one which contained the prin- ciple of unequal vows was that of Sarum, yet the Reformers who wanted to do away with medieval abuses :iopted that very one.
