Fancy Bandeau for Shingled Head
BY MARY MARSHALL.

The boyish, short cropped head
does not really invite ornamental
headdress. There are some women
who feel even that earrings and
this young mannish hair arrange
ment do not go well together. But
earrings recently seem to have been
revived.
Quite recently at gatherings of ex-
tremely smart women earrings We're
decidedly in evidence-most of them
long. heavy pendants. Maybe 1t is
inconsistent with the new styles in
hair dressing, but then fashions are
not Consistent-nor ever were.
After all, our ideas on consistenciHS
and harmOnieS In dress are largely
matters of precedence. We say that
velvet and bingham do not go to-
gether"-that chiffon and tweed do
not Comhine-that calico and geor-
eette are not compatible. Certain
colors we regard as unsuitable for
evening wear certain others for
street wear And what we chiefly
mean is that such combinations have
not been used before. We might look
for them in vain in the records of
past fashion. Then some one comes
along rather daring individual
with a well developed sense of humor
and combines two previously uu-
combined materials - does something
that has not been done before and
after the first bit of objection,
new style is established.
SO it may be with shingled hair
and earrings short hair and ornate
headdressing. One Of the leading
American hairdressers makes charm
ing little bandeauX for Shorn heads.
They are of ribbon and lace, arti-
fetal flowers. feathers and other
such stocll-in- trade Of frivolous fash
ion. interestingly enough, there are
sets consisting of bandeau and gar
terS to match. In England. you know.
conservative aristocrats have been as
surfing themselves that shingles and
tiaras simply do not go together.

tesses who visit their BARRIERS as fre-

Disinfection Of Water.

The simplest and best way to steril-
ize or disinfect for drinking purposes
water which may be polluted, is boil
ing for five minutes. Even just bring

ting 1T cool again will kill any disease
germs which may be in the water.
But in order to make sure Of killing
all germ life in water-sterilizing-
the boiling must be kept up for five
minutes. Even that is not consid-
cred sufficient to destroy certain spore
bearing bacteria; in the practice of
strict asepsis water is boiled five min
uteS on three consecutive days to in
sure complete sterilization.
1t is not very convenient to boil
all the water in a we'll or cistern or
spring, and besides, 1t wouldn't do
much good to boil 1t il more water
enters from the same contaminated
or polluted source right after the
| boiling. The best compromise we
have available in such a case is
chlorination of the water in the we'll
the common chloride of lime tchlorin-
ated calcium. bleaching powder) may
be purchased by the can from drug
gist or grocer. The can must be a
sealed can, and the freshness and &C
tiyity of the lime chloride is indicated
by a very pungent odor of chlorin on
opening the can. Chloride of lime de-
| teriorates and becomes almost value
less as a germicide or disinfectant on

The right dose of chloride Of lime

WHY Not Be Hard-Boiled 7

1T seems to me, Mimi" writes one
young philosopher who has studied
things out pretty carefully and ar
rived at some very definite conclu
sions, that the only safe policy in life
is to be just as hard-boiled as possible.
Then nobody can hurt your feelings,
and no man can ever disappoint you.
AS far as | can see all the women who
have the best time in the world are
as hard as nails. They don't often get
married. that's true. but they do have
a good time, and that Is what l want
more than anything else
Sounds reasona BILE, doesn't It? And
it would be perfectly sound reasoning
if there wasn't always that fatal fact
staring us in the face: That every girl
sooner or later finds out that she
wants to be married.
SO that If my young correspondent
argued from morning to night about
her utter lack of enthusiasm about
matrimonial proSpects-no one in the
world would believe her.
And If she starts out on this plan OF
action-to be just as hard boiled and
cold as possible she'll find herself cut
off from all chances of leading some
ha ra ssed male to the altar.
For this business Of making yourself
hard and cold to the misfortunes that
beset you does not only involve a
change Of mind and heart: IT involves
very perceptible change OF appear
ance.
Have YOU ever met a woman whose
beauty, though quite perfect. left you
absolutely cold? At first you didn't
realize just why YOU felt so little en-
thusia SIN for this beautiful piece Of
scenery. and then you realized that the
lovely face was quite hard, quite with
out soul or expression.
once YOU start out with the fixed
idea that you're going to steel your
self TO resist all human actions, you'd
better get ont mirror. and watch
closely for the tell-tale signs that will
drive admirers away.
First there will be hard little lines
from the base Of the nose to the cor
ner of the lips.
Then thereU be a perceptible tight
ening Of the whole mouth. and 1t will
assume a rather rigid. fixed smile.
Watch out for the hard light that
creeps into your eyes, so that no
amount of dimples or smirks can con-
vince people that you're really happy
and at peace with the world.
Notice how the softness will 20 out
Of the curve of your cheek. and how
the contour of your face will seem
hard and straight.
Then your voice, too, will undergo a
change, If you're not careful.
One morning you'll awake up to find
that a hard. metallic note has crept
into your speech. so that people. hear
ing YOU. will realize Immediately that
you are no sweet young thing, but a
hard-hearted Hannah. II there ever
was one.
No, you won't be as attractive as
you plan to be II you insist on this
hard boiled idea.
Better get new philosophy. for it's
not the hard women of this world
who have tasted life's greatest joys.
Remember-you can spoil your face
Just as quickly by the hard.boiled
method as by any fake treatment ad.
