Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, May 10.-A French girl
who was putting the permanent wave
into woman's hair at a fashionable
hairdressing place entertained her
patron by bewailing the sleek coiffure
of the last three years. She looked at
it. of course. from a commercial stand
point but insisted that she deplored it
because of the lack of artistic merit
in coiffures during the last few years.
What style would you inaugurate?"
she was asked.
The various styles that go with the
dress epochs that we are initiating.
was the answer.

was queen, and surely you would not

XV's days"

brocades and lace fiounces. The re-
vival of powdered hair would be ap-
propriate. and surely women must see
that curls and puffs and waves should
be adopted with the evening frocks
that they now wear.
What you want to do is to sell false
hair and white powder, was the re-
tort.
What we want to do is to get a good
rushing business in hair dressing and
not in putting In permanent waves that
release us from business for six
months. The mass of women today.

they need in the way of a coiffure is a

So Peter hid behind the old stone wall
and peeped between the stones at Win

he thought it might be that winsome

just long enough for Winsome to fly
to the next post but one to where Mrs.
Winsome was sitting. and yet when
Peter looked for her she had dsap-
peared. Yes. sir. she had disappeared.
Peter could see nothing whatever of
Mrs. Winsome. She was nowhere on
the ground. She wasn't to be seen in
the air. Peter felt a funny feeling all
over. He felt as if something very
strange must have happened. He
couldn't understand it at ALL Mrs
Winsome had been sitting on that fence
post. He had turned his head for only
a couple of seconds. but in that short
time she had disappeared. The nearest
trees were in the Old Orchard. There
hadn't been time for her to fly to these.
1t was mysterious. very. very mys-
terious. Peter remained where he was
a long time. watching. but Mrs. Win
some did not appear again. AS for
Winsome he seemed perfectly happy
and not to be worrying at all as TO
what had become of Mrs. Winsome At
last Peter gave up. He started back
to the Old Brier Patch and he wasn't
one bit wiser in regard to Winsome
Bluebird's new home than he had been
when he started out that morning.

Shown herewith is a sport dress, de-
cidedly Russian as to style line. Nat
ural color pongee is the fabric en-
ployed and touch of the oriental
is carried in the trimming, which is of
vivid Roman striped silk. The buttons,
which serve more as a decoration than
as fastening, are of emerald green.
The costume would be an ideal one for
tennis or golf, but it is not at all
frock fitted only for sport wear. and
with the arrival of real summer wealth
er dresses of this type Will undoubted-
ly be selected by many of the younger
generation for general wear.
To make the dress, inasmuch as the
skirt is of generous width and the
coat or blouse skirt rather full and
long also, seven and a half yards of
pongee would not be TOO much, with
an additional yard and half of the
Roman striped silk for trimming,
making total of nine yards AT Sl.2o
yard, for which a very fair grade of
pongee may be bought, the material
would cost s11.25. The garment is en-
tirely unlined, SO that thread and but
tons need be the only additional ex-
pense and this would be trlfiing. A
touch of coquetry is given the garment

The Safe Medicine Chest.

Not long ago an authority on the
subject of hygiene saw fit to write
condemnation of the medicine closet
as it is found in most houses. Most of
US simply by opening the door of our
own medicine closets must agree that
he was justified. Most medicine closets
are not models of neatness cleanliness
or safety.
To begin with. the medicine closets
are not clean. This statement sounds
exaggerated, but it is not. shelf
on which sticky bottles are allowed
to accumulate must be lodging place
for dust. And in most medicine clos
cts there is a great accumulation of
bottles-medicine bottles, perfume
bottles. cleansing fluid bottles. tonic
bottles. empty bottles and complexion
lotion bottles.
If you would have your medicine
closet what it should be never store
away any bottles that are not in use.
Throw empty bottles away. sell them
or else consign them to an out-of-
the-way cupboard or shelf in the store
room And never keep on hand odds
and ends of medicine that nobody sis
taking at the present time. Such medi
cine as must be kept in the bathroom
cabinet. usually called medicine clos
ct should be plainly labeled. More
over. the bottles should be kept clean
They can be washed on the outside
with hot cloth without disturbing
the labels.

have bottles containing poisonous
medicines of shape unlike that OF
other bottles. Some druggists put pol
sons in rough bottles that can be IN
stantly recognized, even in the dark
but nobody ought ever to take any
thing in the dark, even a drink OF
water. 1t is a simple matter to have an
easily lighted bathroom. Nowadays
electricity is the rule rather than the
exception. If there is no electricity,

Peter Waits in Vain.

Peter Rabbit knew very well that

and so Peter chuckled to himself as he
hid where he could watch the trees
nearest the edge of the old orchard.
He thought himself very clever and
smart. All he had to do was to keep
hidden until Winsome Bluebird should
come to visit his new home and then
he. Peter. could watch and find out ex-
actly where it was.
AS Peter looked over the old apple
trees in front of him he saw number
of holes and he wondered which or
them was the doorway to W1nsome
new home He waited and waited. pu'
still Winsome did not come. Could
it be that he suspected Peter OF hldins

they had a right to complain. as far
as lack of business in hairdressing
goes for no woman who makes the
slightest pretense of following the
fashions will permit one strand of false
hair in her head; unless she shows
the outline of the head she considers
that her hair is badly arranged.
The milliners have been aiding in
this sleek coiffure because they have
made hats that cover the hair. 1t is
quite natural that a woman Will not
attempt a new coiffure for the evening
after she has accomplished satistac-
tory one for the day time. and so the
hairdressers. after having in vain tried
to instill elaborate coiffures for the
evening, have now gone to the milli-
ners to induce them to start hats that
will show the hair and demand an
elaborate arrangement of it.
The hat that is lifted in the back is
the one that is preferred. and it should
be short at the sides. so that it does
not come within an inch or two of the
ear. II such hats grow Fashionable
when the summer comes on women will
not find it convenient or attractive to
wear them over the sleek coiffures OF
