To Color Flowers,

For special occasions it is often de. sirable to have flowers of odd colors. Try coloring lilies of the valley and carnations green. It can be done eas. lily by placing the stems in green ink or dye, which will be drawn upward through the stems, causing the white flowers to become streaked with green. They are weirdly beautiful and attract a great deal of attention, as few peo- pie know how it is done. The change in color is caused by the oxalic acid in dye or ink, which opens the pores of the stem so that the coloring matter is drawn upward. To color the flow. CTS pink, red ink may be used, and pink lilies of the valley are strikingly beautiful.

Every woman may be a law unto herself in the matter of her cOiffure. No particular style overshadows other styles or even crowds them in point of popularity. The time when one kind of hairdress eclipsed all others seems to have gone by for all time; all fare alike now. The only discernible prefer ences are in the direction of simple ar engagements that look youthful, and even women of middle age affect them. But it is becomingness that decides the question of style in hairdressing.
 Since we may all be so independent this is a good time for experiment. ing. Except for very youthful faces, experiment would better begin by way ing the hair, because waved hair is prettier than straight hair. After this, it may be combed back and off the forehead, or parted or curled about the brow. and the ends may be coiled high on the head, or at the nape of the neck, or anywhere between. In nearly all arrangements the ears are covered and the hair brought forward in front of them, where it rests on the cheek.
 For youthful faces the hair is usu- ally brought about the forehead, leav- ing it uncoveYed, and this arrange ment will subtract years from older faces that can stand 1t. But good many of them will sacrifice something of good looks by leaving the brow wholly uncovered. For them, waved hair, parted and partially covering the forehead, and coiled high on the head, usually gives the best results. In the high coiffure the ears need not be cov- lred.

A lovely coiffure which Is not far from the classic Greek, is shown in the picture. Nothing was ever any better. Very short, full curls are pinned in the coil at the back, and a few curled locks cling to the forehead held in place by ribbon band or tiny wire pins, or other means known to the artist in cultures. A very simple style is portrayed in the other picture with waved hair parted and coiled at the nape of the neck. A few short locks are curled and pinned back from the forehead and the ears are entirely covered where the hair is brought for ward onto the cheeks at each side.

SCHULTz'S JOB MAY BE WIPED
 OFF CITY LIST
Work of Office One Person S Task-Town Clerkship
 May Be Abolished.

That the town clerk and his assist ants are not only superf1uous officials 1 but that they are too highly paid for l the services they perform, is the opin- | ion of the committee appointed to draft the new city manager plan of charter. ~> The committee has been 1 looking over the work performed by officials at city hall It has come l to the conclusion that the services performed by the town clerk and his 1 assistant are merely clerical and un- der another arrangement could be performed as well by a copyist who receives $700 a year, as by the in cumbents or future incumbents of the
 two offices, who now or will receive
 good salaries. The present town
 clerk receives $2,500 per year, his
 sistant $1,5O0.
 Neither has arduous or responsible
 duties, according to the investigation
 of the charter commission. The most
 nerve racking work performed by the
 town clerk is the issuance of marriage
 or dog and hunters licenses. His assistant takes papers in realty trans
 fers as they come in and marks the time of filing on them with foun- tain pen. The town clerk and his assistant reach the office between 8 and o'clock in the morning and leave for home at 4 in the afternoon.
 They take Saturday afternoons off and have an hour and a half for lunch each day. They share the la Dor each day of counting up the re- ceipts.
 Plans are in the works to take the record of vital statistics from the town clerk and place it with the health department. This will take care of about half the work now done in the office Under the new charter it is proposed to abolish both offices and have the recording of realty transfers made under the supervision of the city clerk. The members of the committee do not look with favor up- on the plan now before the ordinance committee to raise the salary of the town clerk to $4,500 and that of the

assistant to $2,5O0.
 During the meeting of the charter commission last week, it was pointed out that the name of the town cleSk on the ballot was also a matter of eX- pense which might be avoided under more efficient and economical govern ment.
 The committee is now drawing a plan for a charter government by five commissioners and city manager elected by these five The manager is to be responsible to the commission and may be hired or discharged by them.
 There was some discussion yester- day as to whether the commissioners should all serve for terms of four years or whether a system should be arranged whereby one commissioner would be retired each year. . The committee will meet again next Friday. It is expected the draft of the proposed charter will be com pleted by March 15.
