me. Surely no such effort would be
made merely because OF vague sus-

that was not likely to surrender with

DRESSING THE HAIR.

It is no longer the fashion to wear the
hair in skimpish and plastered-down
manner. The prevailing mode is to build
the hair high upon the crown Of tho head,
in somewhat pompadour fashion over the
forehead, sometimes parted on one side.
Sometimes the high hairdressing is orna-
mented with a few soft curls or puffs.
The front Of the hair is waved and dipped
slightly down toward the left eye, SO
that the hair falls softly on the forehead.
In all hairdressing there is a suggestion
of wave, but not at all in marcel effect
For women who cannot wear the high
hairdress the low knot at the nape of
the neck is worn, with jeweled pins on
each side Of the knot. The tiny fringed
bang will be worn by the stylish woman.
Hair bands are still much worn. They
may be of plain band of ribbon. a band
of pearls or an elaborate jeweled
bandeau.
A new style Of hair dressing that is
particularly suited to wear with high
crowned narrow-brimmed hats has the
hair waved and drawn back from the
forehead and side face in a somewhat
high dressing which gives trim and
well groomed look to the head, while
a becoming softness is obtained with a
very thin and slightly curled forehead
fringe at each temple, extending down
into a cheek curl in front of each
ear.
The low hair dressing is worn with
small hats that At we'll down over the
head The hair. which is waved, is
drawn simply over the head from the

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, November 3.--Ih this
era of bustles and pantalettes, of Rus
sian boots and riuffs around the necks
Of wired lamp shades at the hips, 1t is a
relief to see the dignifed satin and
velvet gowns byrWorth and Callot that
stretch out on the floor.
They are in striking contrast to all the
other styles They present way out
for the large woman who win not look
like a merry jester in a pot hat and
pants" as one member Of official Wash
ington society phrased 1t the other day.
True, Callot gives a touch of audacity
to her evening gowns by having the
skirt clear the hoor by six inches and
letting the train hang from the end of
the spine in order to present as great
a contrast as possible to the short
skirt. This effect is not diEnif1ed, but
it is so easily remedied that II is not
an obstacle to choosing the mooel- one
lengthens the whole skirt to the heels
or the ankles, and the work is done:
Worth makes more OF waist line
tunes are more eastern than Victorian,
but those by Worth might have been
worn by the court ladies in England IN
1880 His most popular one so far is
called Lord Byron; it is made of black
velvet, the train cascadlng from the
hips at the side and lined with smell

lace from shoulder to knees at the

day is named Neptune" 1t is OF

mences in buckle in the middle of
the waist at the back. and this touch
calls for a moderately we'll shaped
waist, not the square one that We have
allowed to spread itself across our
backs of recent years.
The drapery over the shoulders is
shawIlike, and unlike the usual line
adopted by Worth. which is well fitted
into the arm and line of the shoulders
and holds a small sleeve. This straight
piece going over the top of the arm
obviates the necessity of any sleeve;
a trick that is not in common with
the STYLES of the hour. No one could
make any objection to 1t on the score
of overyouthfulnesS 1t belongs to any
time, and suits the woman of any age
over the exuberant twenties.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

Ask any housewife what she would

mas and she is very apt to say. Give
me housekeeping apron suit" Here
is one that you can make up for your
sister or friend, with a dainty cap to
match the apron, and the whole cut

a woman all fresh and dainty in case
an unexpected visitor calls and she
has to drop of her apron in a hurry,
doH her cap, and appear in the habit
Of leisure. Indeed. this design is SO
made that a woman need not put on
any dress beneath it in the morning,
unless she likes. for it is warm work

pretty finger nails. She should have
them, too, because the beautiful is her
bfrthrtght, and because they are an
asset in life, life of leisure or life
of work. A carefully kept nail, like all
carefulness in personal appearance, in
dicates careful, well ordered mind. A
premium Is put on the woman with
such mind in business, in the profess
sions, in the home.
Now, home manicuring is not the in
surmountable obstacle that some girls
think 1t. Watch me carefully, listen
to every word say, get the right tools,
then you can soon develop the possibili-
ties of your own nails and can give
them the simple care that is within the
means, however limited, of every ordi-
nary girl.
First of all, what are the right
tools?" and the bustling little manicure
sorted lovingly the implements and
boxes in front of her.

HEALTH HABITS.

Many of US get into habits that
result in poor health. In this age
the unhealthy woman is not the ideal.
If she holds her place in the world it is
in spite of her poor health, not because
of it. Nevertheless, many women go on
day after day doing things that are al
most sure to result in worn health. On
the other hand, 1t would be just as easy
for them to form habits of health-to
do things that would result in improved
rather than in poorer health.
There Is the matter of exercise, for
one thing. We find it so much easier
to get into a street car or bus or a
taxicab or our own automobile. even
when we are going a short distance,
than to walk. We realize. subconcious-
ly, if not very definitely, that walking
improves our figures. our tempers-and
our health. But we like to ride, SO we
ride.
1t is easy TO get into the habit Of
walking. Begin by going only a short
distance-not more ttan a few blocks,
If you are not used to walking. WSrk
UP to any distance you can stand with
out feeling undue fatigue.
Then get into the water habit. Water
is good for everybody, pure, cool water,
not iced. And water drinking is largely
q matter of habit. Drink whenever you
are thirsty. and make a habit of drink
ing at certain times in the day.
Breathe deeply and well. This, too,
is a habit, and one that does much to
promote health and looks.
Cultivate the sensible food habit.
Don't be a prude and refuse now and
then some tidbit that Is too rich. But
normally eat the things that you know
do most to make you healthy and
happy.

washing dishes and sweeping with an
apron over a dress, and. II the dress is
FUZZY. 1t does not improve by being
crushed.
In a gift apron you want to choose
pretty coloring. since materials must
be cotton and should be inexpensive.
For this pattern get stripe for the
stout friend and lowered cretonne,
chintz. calico or some strong and
firm weave of cotton. There are lots
OF cotton fabrics that go under the
general title art goods" and they
have pretty colors and surfaces and
are durable and becoming.

senting the cap as a Christmas gift
1t would be well to make 1t of dotted

ribbon. You always like TO please with

would welcome a calico dust cap when
she might as well have a pretty one

My dear, your nails are in dread

manicure as she spread Bessie's slender
hands on her doily-covered cushion,
ragged cuticle, hang nails. white sotps!
See how puffy and red the flesh 10 at
the base of the nail! And you can
make them so pretty!
I give them the most careful at
tention!" walled Bessie.
That's the trouble" replied the
bustling little manicure. TOO much
attention Of the wrong kind! Your
fingers look nagged at, nail and flesh
and all. Some girls complain that they
haven't time to manicure their nails,
but that's because they are lazy and
haven't formed the habit of taking
time They expect me to beautify them
at single sitting. You have gone too
far in the other direction" she went on.
ITO have nice nails means only about
weekly manicuring. Learn how to get
them in good condition and keep them
so.
You see," pointing to the tip of Bes-
sizes nails. they look as if you, had
cleaned them strenuously with knife
or orange stick. pressing on the nail
and the flesh, marring and inflaming
this line on the top where nail and flesh
join, scraping the free inner edge of
the nail into a roughness that catches
and holds the dirt and gives an ugly
whiteness instead of a delicate trans
parency.
Now, fess up, you have been running
the orange stick round the base and
sides of the nail to free the skin and
make the half moons show. Don't do
it. See how you have broken and
jagged that line of cuticle and made
the flesh all pulled and angry red in
trying to push it off the nail?
"My dear, be just as careful in clean
ing your nails as you are in cleaning
your eyes. Gentle, gentle! Don't hurt
them, don't make them bleed, don't do
anything strenuous!
