THE new COUTURE

engagements For the Head.
Many new ways of dressing the hair
have been suggested. but there is no
one style that will be found generally
becoming. Much depends upon ones
accustoming herself to a new mode of
couture. Still. certain extremes of
tightness in arranging the hair are
trying to many The hair is
again dropping softly about the ears.

The Bowknot Ornament.
A dainty little addition to the I'M
adorned couture that has of late pre-
vailed is the bowknot. which is I'M
doubtedly pretty and may be properly
made only with u switch, say those In
authority. a bowknot is tied and
placed at the apex of the head. and
just beneath two little curls are form
ed of the ends of the switch. The hair
is parted ON the side.- as is generally
the custom. but the line is softened
and partly concealed by the bringing
together of the hair above it.
The Side Parting.
Hair still continues to be worn part
ed on the side: which side, however. de-
ponds upon the wearer, for features are
more attractive from one angle than

length, for the swirling over of the
side hair or the bringing forward of

Nealiaee Sashes.

A sash is a part Of many of the
smartest negIigees. Sometimes it is no
more than a piece of narrow black vel
e ribbon which is knotted about the
waist. Sometimes it is a wide. soft
silk sash that is tied In a loose. ioppy
bow in the back or at the side. Some
times a sash is formed from an extern
sion of the two fronts folded about
the waist and clasped under a jeweled
fastening at the back. OF course a big
bow is rather out of place IN a negligee'
which. In spite of this daintiness,
shonld be durable enough to Withstand
rather hard treatment. For wien one
is resting or dressing u seldom cares
to be careful of the gown one wears.

Do You Know Of a Blind Baby?

La February, 1911, provision was
made for the baby blind of the State of
New Jersey. The blind children from
the day of their blindness are now sent
to the Arthur Home for blind babies.
Summit, New Jersey, where they re-
maiu until they are the proper age
to enter the public school classes for
the blind, or the institution at Over
brook, Pennsylvania, which takes
children of school age, or to the New
York institution for the blind, which
takes children when eight years old, If
they are normal.
New Jersey has committed nineteen
children to the care of the Arthur
Home for blind babies. Some of these
have regained eyesight. some have
graduated.
There are eleven New Jersey children
In the Arthur Home for blind babies.
Summit, N. j., the only Institution in
the whole United States that will take
ANY BLIND BABY FROM ANY
STATE and give it proper physical
care, and mental training, until it is
the proper age to enter the state in
situations provided for the older blind.
Fourteen states are already repre-
scented, and one little boy from Cuba.
Forty blind children being the total
number now In the home, and as many
have graduated from the home.
II you know Of a blind baby or have
one write promptly to Mrs. Cynthia
Westover Alden, So Fifth avenue. New
York City, Founder of the Sunshine
Blind Baby Institutions, and she will
give you all information.
She maintains that the public has no
right to assume that because q baby is
blind it has no brains. Her ten years
work in behalf Of the baby blind DEM
onstrates that the blind should be cared
for from the day they are blinded.
One should not wait until they are Of
school age, when blind children. in the
past have been eligible to state institu-
lions. She declares that the blind be-
come feeble-minded from lack of care
not from lack OF brains, and if the
children are given attention from the
day Of blindness few, if any, will be
refused at the state schools at the age
Of eight, because of being too backward
or feeble-minded to take advantage of
the training there prepared for them.
It'll your duty, therefore, SINGS the
state now makes provision for the care
OF the baby blind to report such a
child If you ever see OF hear of one in,
your state.
