For Girls Wear

Girls are showing decided prefer
ence for hairbows, which can be ar
ranged in so many different ways. One
very popular style is the bandeau eff
feet. which gives such dainty, demure
air to little girl. 1t consists merely
of a band of ribbon an inch and half
or two inches wide, stretched across
the front and fastened underneath the
back of the hair with piece of elastic.
Placed cunningly at either end Of the
band are ribbon rosettes. plain little
tailored bows or clusters of ribbon
flowers.

there we find women wearing the
fringe or bangs especially suited to
their English sisters or the trying Golf
fure popular in France, but more often
they dress their hair a In America |;
that is, waved or marceled, frame to
the face.
The French bob, or shingle as we
Americans call 1t, Is gaining in popu-
larity with the girls who refuse to
give up the bob because II Is convent
ent and comfortable to wear. The
French bob differs from the American
in that the hair is encouraged to grow
low on the neck and then is trimmed
to show the contour of the head. When
two or three flappers are gathered to-
gether the topic of conversation no
longer hovers between styles and men.
but around the problem of acquiring a
head of long hair overnight. For Dame
Fashion has said once more, and this
time her voice has an authoritative
tone, that the bob Is passe, out Of
date, impossible.

Have an Attractively
Decorated Bedroom

A bedroom recently redecorated had
magenta for its predominant color.
Bedspreads of striped silk were of this
hue as well as the covers for the
dresser and chhfoAier. After these
covers were finished there were scraps
left of the silk and of the fringe which
had been used as trimming. Out Of
the odds and ends of silk were made
small pads. just large enough to cov-
er the cane seats of the small chairs.
and the finishing touch was given the
pads by sewing the f-inge, which was
Of the same color. around the edges.
1t was put on In such manner that
II barely hung over the edge Of the
seats. giving an individual touch which
made the room altogether charming.

Colors of FloUers
Governed by Light

Some curious observations made in
Manchester, England, indicate that
light and temperature may have de-
termining influence on the colors Of
flowers in different months.
The observer noticed tropaeclum,
or nasturtium plant, which showed
three types of flowers-yellow, yellow
with red markings and claret-colored.
Sometimes one type predomlnated and
sometimes another. In the offspring
of this plant he noticed that the parti-
colored and red flowers occurred only
during fine, hot weather, in the second
week of August, whereas during the
cold, wet periods of July, September
and October all the flowers were yell
low.
BY self-sterilizing the flowers of diff
ferent colors he found that in the sec
ond generation the color of the paren-
tai flower had no determining effect,
and he concludes that temperature
and light are the governing influences.

Oyster Eater of France

An American. visiting Manchester.
England, not long ago, was brought in
contact with waiter who has served
since 1902 and who complained Of the
degeneracy of the contemporary appe-
tite.
"The capacity Of the guests Is not
what 1t used to be-" said this waiter.
'T have often served fourteen dozen
oysters to one man, and many guests
would eat five or six dozen at the
feast. Today few persons eat more
than two and a half Dozen"
Now this dsconsolate waiter might
brighten up If he had the opportunity
of serving a customer like the man
whom Brillat-Savarin celebrates in his
"Physiologie du Gout."
It Is therein stated that when Brillat-
Savarin lived at Versailles he fire.
quently met M. Laperte, who was
very fond of oysters, but who COM
planned that he could never get his
fill of them. The famous gastronomist
determined to satisfy this man once
for all and invited him to dinner. He
kept pace with Laperte up to the third
dozen and then allowed him to pro-
ceed alone. He swallowed oysters
steadily for more than an hour, and
Brillat-Savarin had to stop. him after
the thirty-second dozen, just as he
had remarked that he was beginning
to enjoy his treat. The two men then
dined and Laperte acquitted himself
with the vigor and appetite Of man
who had been long fasting.
