The secret of success in hairdress-
ing lies In the accomplishment of
graceful lines, no matter by what
means, more than in any other particu-
lar. The artist in coiffures must study
the head and face Of his patron and
with the resources he has at hand
make the contour Of the head graceful
from every angle Of view. A beauti-
fully shaped head may look its best
with the hair wrapped about it as
closely as possible. so as not to inter-
fere with its contour.
Often the hairdresser succeeds best
by placing the hair high, but sometimes
this arrangement will not do at all,
and he must build the hair out on the
crown or mass it at the nape Of the
neck. Nearly always waves and curls
add charm, but there are exceptions
even to this rule.

The choice in fur sets for this season
includes neckpieceS and muffs in IA
niliar styles, and many new patterns.
In neckpIeces especially the designs
are odd and novel, including scarfs and
capes and fancy collars. The capes
are square and extend across the back,
with tie ends at the front, as rule,
although there are short, full capes
that cover the shoulders. Fancy col
lars have been developed in the short
haired furs and lined with crepe or
chiffon.
AIuffs are medium or small, and are
usually either fiat or melon shaped.
But when they are made to match the
fancier neckpieces they are brought in
to harmony by ruffles or draplngs of
fur. For the smaller neckpieces and
muffs that are made up in odd styles,
hudson seal, ermine, mole, squirrel,
and other smooth furS are chosen.
However attractive these novelties,
they are not in the running, so far as
popularity is concerned, with scarfs
and muffs of fox and other long haired
furs. These are very smart in short,
broad neckpieces, with barrel-shaped
muffs to match. The scarfs fasten
close about the neck and protect the
throat and much of the face. Nothing
is better liked than a single pelt of the
fox, lined with crepe and provided with
fastenlngs that allow it to be worn ell
ther high about the neck or draped
about the shoulders
/EHne furs should be selected in sim

Laroe coIIars UsefuI.

Large collars make the bodice so
negligible a quantity that they are
useful things for furnishing up an old
frock or for trimming a bodice other
wise plain and unattractive.
There are also certain bib collars
that are as volumInous and as kind to
shabby bodice as the cape. and are
as a rule rather more becoming than
the latter because they do not give the
primly severe, long shoulder line. A
pretty model in this class has a choker
collar of black velyet ribbon knOtted
at the back. Around the top of this
stock run two narrow plated frills of
fine cream net.
The wide. ivory-toned, washable sat
in collars are still much in evidence
and are cut In various shapes and
sizes.

A coiffure whose inspiration has
been handed down through centuries
is built on classic lines, as shown In
the accompanying picture. The hair
is waved for it and brought over the
forehead and out on the cheek in ac-
cordance with the vogue Of the hour.
A small knot at the back is surround
ed by short curls, and sparkling pin
emphasizes them. A narrow headband
of ribbon is requisite of this lovely
style. It might be in satin or velvet in
any color. or narrow band Of gold
or silver, plain or jeweled. This is one
of the coiffures which vie with others

he went up the narrow staircase to
his swept and garnished room. Never,
in all of a life that had been active
until recently-had he been so Con-

the tired lines left his face.
"New underwear for yours tOmor-

as he unknotted his cravat. "New I'M

None of them appealed to him. And,
after all, what did it matter? The
old heaviness came over him.
Sidney did not sleep much that night.
She lay awake, gazing into the scented
darkness, her arms under her head.
Love had come into her life at last. A
man-Only Joe, of course, but it was
not the boy himself, but what he stood
for, that thrilled her-had asked her
to be his wife.
The desire to be loved! There was
coming to Sidney a time when love
would mean, not receiving but giving
the divine fire instead of the pale hame
of youth. At last she slept.

the window throaty baritone was

Home is the hunter, home from the hill:
And the sailor. home from the sea.
For perhaps an hour Joe Drummond
had been wandering down the Street.
His slender shoulders, squared and
resolute at eight, by nine had taken on
a disconsolate droop. Prayer meet
ing at the corner church was over; the
Street emptied. The boy wiped the
warm band of his hat and slapped it
on his head again. All!
Across the Street, under an old allan
thus tree, was the house he watched, a
small brick, with shallow wooden steps

vines over the whitewashed fence.
The June moon had risen. When the
girl came out at last, she stepped out

ing shadows, fragrant with tree bios
SONS hushed of its daylight sounds.
The house had been warm. Her brown
hair lay moist on her forehead, her thin
white dress was turned in at the
throat. She stood on the steps and
threw out her arms In swift gesture
to the cool air. From across the Street
the boy watched her with adoring,
humble eyes. All his courage was for
those hours when he was not with her.
"Hello, joe"
''Hello, Sidney"
He crossed over, emerging out Of the
shadows into her enveloping radiance.
His ardent young eyes worshiped her
as he stood on the pavement.

sto prepare the answer to the above
letter which is as follows:
Martinsbnrg. w Va, Sept. II, II.
Mr. ]. Y. Jamison, Jr,,
President, Blue Ridge League,
Hagerstown, Md
NY dear sir:
We beg to acknowledge receipt OF
your remarkable letter of the 4th
inst, relative to the protest filed by
the Martinsburg Club. May we not
be permitted to say, that we have
looked carefully for the designation
dictated but not read realizing
that man might dictate a letter of
this character but would never ex-
pect him to send 10 after careful
consideration.
Before going into the various
phases of the question brought out
in our protest and your letter, we
wish to correct an impression that
YOU seem to have gotten and which
permeates every portion OF your let
ter. and that is tina the only reason
for our filing a protest was TO Sc
cure for Martinsburg the pennant of
the Blue Ridge League. Now wish
to inform you that Martinsburg does
not want your pennant under these
conditions We quite agree with you
that the pennant should be won on
the field. but we also insist and de-
mand that the method Of winning 1t
shall be according to the rules adopt
ed by the league. 1t was because we
believed that our contention was
correct, that we filed the protest
We therefore ask that the protest
filed be judged upon its merits aid
not upon the assumption or inference
that we were seeking to secure the
pennant by unfair methods.
We wish to emphasize this fact
again. We do not want the pennant
unless it is won on the baseball field,
but we are just as determined that
when it is won, 1t shall he awarded
for ability and skill upon the field.
