where many Of tho best-dreSSed wom-
en- you know go, and the little as

at her own well arranged long hair
in the mirror as she works over you.
DO you know why all the young

en-gray haired grandmothers even
have been bobbed and the girls want
to look different
And so it goes. The conclusion
wisely drawn is that you may wear
your hair short or long-the really
important thing is to have the right
sort of bob or shingle and to have
1t becomingly and smartly arranged
when it is long.
Some one said the other day that,
with fashions as they are, frocks so
simple and severe and colors so pro-

to correct imperfections of skin than
to go to a good dressmaker-and no
use doing the latter until you have
done the first.
You might add that good hair is an

Of life as it actually is lived, rather
than as we wish it might be lived or

type. and it's publication caused stir

of the time. and of their wives and
children, whose lot was just as bad.

Curfew Once Played Important Part.

When the curfew rang. people were
no longer allowed out on the streets.
This prevented them from quarreEnS
and fighting and was a necessary
precaution, because they did not have
police as we do today
The laws regarding the curfev
were very strict in England until the

a little less severe. Later, with the
growth of new and safer methods OF
heating and lighting houses. the Gus
tome gradually died out, but it has
persisted in some places until the
present day.

Some cities and towns in America
still observe the custom of ringing a
curfew early in the evening. but the
practice has long since lost the sig
nificance which it had i'll England
many years ago.
At that time the curfew served n
very real use. 1t was a bell rung at
or In the evening warning all peo-
pie to at once put out all their lights
and fires and go to bed. In those
days houses were heated and illun1i-
mated by open fires below a hole in
the roof. and the curfew was pre-
caution taken against dangerous
blazes during the night.

3o,460 men and women, most OF them
