and in the deeper hollows one finds
dugouts and scattered tents. All the

There is not square inch OF tho

Dear Ruth: From all | find in

Mrs. Eve, when she pinned up her
hair with long beautiful polished
thorns. For hairpins We're worn as
far back as history goes, and rec

cherished possessions that ancient
ladies had were their gold and sill
yer jeWeled hairpins. Some Of the
most peculiar hairpins, however,
were worn by the Athenian women
for they had little grass-hoppers,
mounted beautifully on the top,
so that when the women had their
hair done up, their heads were dot
led all over by these green grass
loppefs. Ed.
