HAIR BANDS ARE IN DEMAND
Couture, and Also With the
High Psyche Knot.

Now that the mammas are wearing
not bowl cut at all, but an imitation,
marcel waved, with long ends con-
cealed, the hair bands are having a
splendid sale. These bands are also
worn with the high Psyche knot,
which does not stand upright, but
rather stands backward from the
crown of the head, giving long line
from the tip of ones nosG to the tip
of ones couture.
While these bands, coming directly
across the forehead, were designed for
the Castle clip, they have been adopt
ed by women who yearn for something
new. A one-inch band of black vel
vet ribbon is used, either plain or jew
eled, the latter studded with tiny flow
er designs In brilliants. Others, con-
siderably wider, are of silver filigree
and give an oriental effect that is very
good with the high Turkish girdle and
the skirt that is so turned in at the
hem and attached to an undermining
that it gives the effect of baggy trou-
eers.
Grosgrain ribbon is used of any
color one fancies and is set with col
ored stones.
If you have an old Spanish necklace
with pendant it will come in nicely for
hair band. Because of it's weight it
Is best to attach it to ribbon.

WRAPS FOR SUMMER WEAR
Combinations of Gay coIors Mark
These Beautiful, If Superfuous,
Hot Weather Garments.

The summer dress-up wraps are
as frothy and superfuous as dream.
Fancy coat of tulle, bit of lace
and a few pearl beads. Yet it is
done A beautiful imported wrap
has a cape OF rose-colored silk from
which fall tiers upon tiers of lace,
mounted over rose chiffon. BY the
way, do you know that chiffon is a
good wearable fabric and is used now
for Innings of silk coats-aye, and for
cloth ones. too!
Time was when dressy wraps were
only for evening, but the afternoon
dances permit more elaborate cos
tunes. Hence the appearance of the
expensive cloak of lace.
One of Caillot's loveliest models is
long coat of batiste, embroidered to
the guards and beautiful beyond

British Control Of Cables

Perhaps nothing has more contribu.
ted to the commercial supremacy OF
Britain than its enterprise with regard
to the submarine cable. During the
last so years it has excelled all other
countries in its quick communication
with the remote parts of the world.
Europe received its news through
London. When at last foreign coun-
tries sought to free themselves from
this monopoly they had to seek Brit.
ish aid. France and Germany, desir.
ing to possess cables of their own be.
tween their countries and America,
had to go to Britain to manufacture
and to lay the cables for them. In
late years factories for the making of
such cables have been established by
Germany at Ordenham, by France at
Calais, and by Italy at Spezia. Previ.
ously almost all the cables of the
world had been made on the banks OF
the Thames. The foreign manufac-
tories were started with government
subsidies, and the Weakening of govern.
ments to the value of cables-until a
few years back the submarine tele-
graphs were altogether private af.
fairs, started with money wholly sub.
scribed by the public-has been re-
markable. There are at present no
fewer than 1887 cables, and of these
various governments own 2457.

STYLES. IN PARASOLS
ARE OF ALL SORTS OF PRETTY
MATERIALS AND SHAPES.
Japanese Designs Are as Well Liked
as Any Extraordinary Made to
Match the Flounced Gown
of 1860 Type.

Never, not even in their early orr
entail days of stately pageantry, have
parasols been so alluring. An oriental
race, the Japanese, has given us one
OF the most charming shapes for sun
shades, and this year it is reproduced
for us In the prettiest materials. In

gee, with long camphor-wood handles.
One of yellow tussore had a small
eastern design of ovals of tan and
clear green. Each rib was tipped
with Chinese jade head and jade
ball was poised on the top of the
slender handle. Another of the same
fiat, many-ribbed shape was of pale
cream silk and all around the center
point was cluster of yellow cherries
on green SILK stems of various
lengths, while another bunch dec
Grated the handle.
Beside the oriental shape the deep
tulip-shaped bell is shown as con-
trast in dark, rich colors or in the
seasons latest fancy-white net. A
dome-shaped specimen was made of
finely shirred white net, and all
around the edge ran a patriotic COM
bination of blue MORE ribbon with
line of red beads on each side of it.
With your flounced 1860 gowns you
may carry an 1860 parasol, small in
size, of conventional shape, with green
silk fringe dripping from its edge.
Or you may choose a pink taffeta af-
fair with its points connected by
garland of pink rosebuds, or another
of white shirred silk with loops of
black jet beads. If you like ruffles,

All Danes Can vote

Danish women have received equal
rights with men and Danish men with
each other; the recent constitutional
change which enfranchises women and
makes them eligible to all Offices also
abolishes the property qualifications
which have helped to keep the Dane
melancholy. Everybody can vote in
Denmark now, even the king. Twen-
ty-nine years is the voting age to
start with, but as time rolls over the
little kingdom it is to be gradually
reduced until 1t reaches twenty-five.
Thus the older Dane grows the
younger he can begin to vote.-The
