Ornamenting Top of Hat, Revival
BY MARY MARSHALL.

that the fashion was thrown in the
discard.
Now these bows placed on the top
of the crown have been revived and
appear in the shops that we call Eek
elusive" This would be a surprising
development if it were not the sort of
thing that occurs very often in the
realm of fashion. If fashion history
repeats itself in this matter these top
bows will not this time run the risk
of overpopularity. They are no
longer enough of n novelty.
OF course, there is a difference In
the new top bows. Before, they were
placed at the tops of hat that
rather narrowed off at the crown.
The new hats usually show a tenden-
cy to widen toward the top-some-
times even to bulge little. Then,
too, the bows are often larger. They
are not so perky" as the little crown
bows of two seasons ago. A new
velour hat has top, trimming bow
of rather wide velvet ribbon. the
loops and ends of which droop down
gracefully at the sides.
Some of the new hats show a crown
trimming that might be called a tuft.
placed right in the middle of the
crown of the hat so that it takes on
the outline of a little fountain.
Perhaps the reason why milliners
originated this top trimming and then
revived it is that there is so little
place on the modern small hat for
trimmings. Women will insist on
wearing narrow hats-for the most
part brimless. They like the close,
trim line about the forehead. In
some of the new hats a tassel or
feather is placed at the side rather
toward the back, but such trimming
is in danger of tickling your neigh
boris nose, and it is even in greater
peril of being disarranged and mussed
up with frequent wearings.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. ID.

vironment-it is the modern method in
surgery and sanitation as distinguished
from the old method of trying to Kill
or limit the growth of the germs after
they had entered the picture.
In rare circumstances medicinal an
tiseptics or germicideS are still en-
ployed by physicians and surgeons,
but so far as the layman's purpose
may be concerned, it is quite fair and
correct, / think. to say that in any
case in which the layman uses a me-
dicinal antiseptic with any advantage
, the advantage Is altruistic. In other
words, having mulled the idea over at
length, / am constrained to say that
the popular use of antiseptic medica-
mentS, internally or externally,
amounts to unconscious altruism.
When a somewhat brainfagged mer-
chant (yclept t. b. No. with what he
likes to call "cold" sprays some anti
septic nostrum in his nose or gargles
his throat he probably does diminish
the chances of spreading the infection
to his immediate associates for the
next few minutes. That's what I call
unconscious altruism-graW matter in
adequate.
When you apply an antiseptic dress
ing to your wound, boil or other tan
gible lesion, you probably prevent the
spread of the infection to your neigh
Dor, although you know this is not
the purpose you have in mind. If it
were you wouldn't bother.
Let no one infer from this that peo-
pie with colds" or sore throat may
use some antiseptic tabloid or lozenge
constantly and thereby render himself
fit to associate with well folk, for this
would be entirely unwarrantable.
The only objection / have against
this unconscious altruism of the lait
is that in some cases the altruist in
jures himself in using poisonous or
harmful antiseptics, and that's carry
ing the thing too far.

"Poor as Jobs Turkey. "

To be as poor as Jobs turkey Is to
be poor indeed. For, as the Bible
tells us, when in order to test the
piety of Job, God deprived him of all
his possessions, his ruin was so com
plete that even his turkey" was left
without a feather in his tail,
Since the truth must be told. the
kind of fowl that was domesticated at
that time in the region where Job had
his troubles was not from our under.
standing of the bird, a turkey. But
at the time that this smile Of the
Biblical fowl came into general use
the turkey was already a familiar
figure of the barnyard, hence the
adoption of it's name for the famous
bird that was Jobs.

Finger Waving the Hair.

hair that has been permanently waved.
1t is a waste of time to attempt to
finger-wave other types of hair.
To illustrate this popular waving
process, 1 have selected a couture for
