two coiffures in the picture are fin,
opponents of the new styles.
All sorts of beautiful hair ornaments
naturally follow this new elaboration
in hairdressing, and they add life and
sparkle to it. Spanish combs, thrust
in at the back, below the puffs or coils
on the crown, are among old things
that have been revived. And there are
many other combs and pins, including
high medallions, that support wells OF
scarfs of malines worn for full dress
In the evening. They suggest the man
tilla or the oriental veil and fall from
the couture to the waistline or below.
These are extremes of the mode but
other coiffures must measure up to
them or look mediocre. A mediocre
hairdress with dazzling evening gown
is not to be tolerated.
Rarely there is couture with the
back hair arranged below the crown
but 1t is the exception that proves the
rule. Take for guidance these facts

way intersections of Interest to
All Travellers.

A bill authorizing the purchase OF
parcels of lsnd at highway intersec-
tons, now on the house calendar, Is of
interest to all travellers on the. state
roads. Any reasonable plans for inn
proving the corners is likely to have
general approval. Real estate in the
country towns, outside the villages, is
inexpensive. The cost of eliminating
right-angle turns should not be excess
sive, and the gain in safety viii be
appreciable. Many serious accidents
have occurred at these abrupt turns,
particularly where the dangerous con-
ditions were not revealed by lights. At
such points the best remedy Is In the
relocation of the highway lines, and it
may be said that immunity from dan
ger is worth more than the price of
few square feet of unoccupied farm
land.--Providence Journal.

1t has been stated, and correctly so.
that only 10 per cent of the public

ties look well in entire suits. The best
choice for this purpose is the imitation

employed for the suit pictured. 1t is

The coat is a three-auarter length,
Russian model, with wide belt lined
with satin. The skirt is plain and
straight-hanging, with its border twice
as wide as the landings about the bot
tom of the coat. This is a detail
that adds much to the smartness of
the suit. The wide collar fastens d.
agonally at the front with three black
satin-covered buttons.
While the designer has managed this
suit Of fur-fabric so that it is altogeth-
er attractive, combinations of plain
cloths or velvet with these heavy
weaves are less difficult to work out
successfully. In these suits the border
at the bottom of the cloth skirt some
times extends almost TO the knees. Or

The ''supers' of the moving pictures

appealed TO the American Federation

when In the Legitimate" they could get
several dollars night for looking the
part have given place TO long hours
OF exposure to bumps and thumps and
thrilling mauling and falling, Tor a
wage scale seriously reduced, they
maintain, by the exorbitant commits
sions demanded by the agents. The
public is no longer satisfied to let q
dummy fall from cliff or jump from
q motor car to d train, or stab a man
eating shark, or purloin the cubs of
she-bear In her den. 1t expects the
super" himself to be an 'injiarub-
Der idjit," blithe and resilient wheth-
er he Is dropped from house roof or
smothered under haymow. He must
be glutton for punishment, and unite
TO the indurated symmetry of mar
BILE faun the lungs of a Ted Meredith
and the muscles Of Howard Berry.
Yet for all this he is to have the pay
OF steyedore or d station porter. He
thinks he deserves the wages of Mex
lean bullhghter, at least. He suffers
from competition. He Is ''supernu-
merary." He gets the wages paid In
cailings that put little or no premium
on mentality. Bruises sprains and
gashes, in world dripping with gore,
have lessened market value since
they have become part of the accept
ed order. The trivial wounds OF civil
ians are little noted for the real and
widespread suffering among the sol
diers. The ''super" would win at once
as warrior the sympathy that is de-
hied to his cinematographic trials and

Straight ''chemise' gowns, made Of
