 It As Suggested On This Page. ,

ly before arranging her hair In any style. She should consider her nose, her chin, her neck, her ears, separately and collectively. Ia general, it is far more becoming, ara is always more graceful, for the side hair to lie h0ri- zontally than to be drawn up straight from the ears; 1t makes the ears very prominent and reveals the somewhat ugly way the hair grows around them. By using hairpins the hair can be trained to drape the ears in a becom- ing manner.
 The woman with a small, well-shap- ed head can afford to wear her hair close to her head; but the woman with large head with irregular bumps" should be most particular to arrange her hair in a way to conceal faulty lines.
 A disappointed nose would be ac- centuated were the owner of the same to wear her hair in an extended psyche at the back. It behooves a woman with such a nose to dress her hair rather low.
 The French twist which I am going !, to tell you about today is generally be- coming to the older woman with a round face. It should not be worn by the young girl. In arr nging the hair thus one may experience difficulty at first, but little experience will soon make one an adept in this, particular line.
 The>drst thing to do is to have the hair waved, either by means of irons or curriers'. Next brush the hair down over the face. the shoulders and tho back. Carefully divide the hair at the crown of the head into strand large enough to make a braid. Pin this braid to the head, so that you will have a foundation on which to work.
 Divide the hair in front on either side. Comb the middle section back to form low pompadour and then pin

them out into baking tin, put little bit of beef dripping or butter on top of each and bake about 20 minutes. Serve with thickened gravy, or tomato sauce. This is fine for using up left over meat of all kinds.
 Baked French Toast.
 Butter slices of bread, according to the size of the family, place fn shall low pan and pour over them custard prepared in the usual way for French toast Bake until the slices have taken on a rich golden brown. Very nice for breakfast or supper. Can be used for dessert by serving with foamy sauce.
 One beaten egg. scant pint of milk and a pinch of salt should be enough for six slices.
 Appledore Soup. '1 Three medium-sized potatoes boiled until tender in salted water, then mashed. Fry three tablespoons of chopped onion in three tablespoons of butter. add to this two tablespoons of flour and one quart scalded milk. Cook five minutes. then add potato; then add one and a half teaspoons salt, half a teaspoon each celery salt and paprika. three tablespoons of tomato catchup, one teaspoon chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
 Beanpot Stew.
 A choice dish of meat is prepared of the cheapest cuts of meat. Legs and neck piece may be used. Beef, fresh pork, lamb and veal can be used to- gether. Cut them up in lengths of three inches or so; take of all fat and outside rinds, place in bean pot with a few cut-up potatoes, a carrot or two. one small onion, one slice of bacon. half teaspoon pickling spices, salt and pepper to taste and one teaspoon sugar. Fill with water one inch from top, cover tight and do not uncover until ready to serve. Bake from four to eight hours. according to amount of heat, the slower the better. About two pounds of meat is needed for a two-uuart not

the strand to theHoundation. A make up pencil will be found convenient fot making an artificial hair line. It will also serve as an end to aim for when coaxing the hair to fall in a graceful manner.
 Next pick up a generous strand of hair reaching from the temple to the middle of the head in back. This comb up over the head until it is as smooth as the hair in the photograph.
 Now bring up the hair that has thus far been uncaught. This also must be combed until 1t lies smoothly over the head. Tuck the ends all carefully be- meath the drawn-over hair. You will find it quite necessary to use great number of hafrpins. so that no ugly ends will crop out and thus spoil the entire effect.
 Such a style of hairdressing makes the hair line at the nape of the neck very prominent. If the style is gener- ally becoming but the hair line is marred by the appearance of stubborn ends, 1t would be well to curl these ends as often as-necessary. Or, better still, the use of artificial curls could well be made to beautify such a hair line
 If you appreciate your gift of hair, give it proper care. 60 that it will add to rather than detract from your gen. eral appearance. The majority of us cannot afford visits to a hairdresser, but we can keep the hair in a healthy condition at home.
 A thorough brushing every night will do wonders to keep the hair healthy and attractive. If you wear your hair back from the brow, brush it over the brow. If you wear 1t part ed. brush the hair straight back of the neck to the forehead. Then brush the hair from ear to ear. This, done carefully, will stimulate the circula- ton of the blood through the scalp.
 After the thorough brushing you' shouldr massage the scalp well. Slip the fingers through the hair to the scalp; gently move them around and around on the scalp until you feel it loosen under the pressure of the finger motion. Go over the entire scalp.
 If your hair is oily to such an ex- tent that you cannot arrange 1t proper ly, you should use good tonic which more frequent washings than a dry one. In between shampoos use alcohol on the hair Mix with it little oil of bergamot, if you object to the odor of the alcohol. Dip absorbent cotton into the solution and rub it on the hair. The alcohol cuts the grease and the cotton removes it from the hair. Be sure to use plenty of clean cotton during the dry shampoo process. fE<
 Hair that is unrealthy dry should be treated to tonics containing oil. Plain castor oil will be found effective. Ap- ply it with a medicine dropper to the scalp after dividing the hair into strands. Then rub the oil we'll into the scalp. Do not apply 1t to the hair. For this, brilliantine can be used.

@Il JOKING at some women's heads you would think that G they consider their hair
 curse rather than blessing. They either draw it together into one hard, ugly knot, or else they let 1t fly in all directions until they look de- mented. Were you to ask them the reason for their carelessness they would, in nine cases out of ten, tell you they can't do a thing with their hair. This statement they offer freely without ever having made an effort to bring out the best in their hair. Hair is gift that is essential to womans beauty. For this reason every woman should realize the importance of keep ing her crown of glory in shining and healthy condition.
 Just as important as the care of the hair is the manner in which it is ar ranged. The style changes the contour of a woman's face as much as a war changes g country's map. A woman should study her features very careful

At the same time the rule of great simplicity of adornment, as regards suits, and of unlimited decoration. in the case of dressy toilets, whether designed for day or evening wear, holds good and women should be careful to see that dresses are trimmed suitably for the purposes for which they are intended.
