Wavy Hair.

Wavy hair is becoming to certain
types Of faces. and at certain times is
becoming to all faces. If you are very
tired, for instance, and all the lines of
your face are draggY, waved hair will
be more becoming than straight be
cause It will break the up and down
lines of the face. If you are very
thin, Wavy hair will make the face
seem rounder, and if you are getting
into middle age waved hair will make
you appear much younger looking
than straight.
But in any case waved hair must be
soft. the wider the wave the more be
coming the effect. A tight marcel into
one ridge after another hardens the
expression and makes the face look
much older. The head looks as though
1t were cut into series Of little hills
and valleys and the effect is wooden
and ugly.
1t is hard to avoid such an effect If
you wave your hair yourself with
curling tongS. You can only achieve
properly soft wave by rolling the
hair for short time on kid wavers,
which do not break or injure the
hair, or by wetting 1t, holding it in
place with combs and letting 1t dry
under net. The wave dries in then
and is soft and fairly lasting. If you
wear your hair short this home-done
water wave" is much the best
method, for you not only wave the
hair, you also turn the ends and shape
1t snugly to the head, as is fashion
able at the moment.
If you wave the hair by rolling it

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Too Much Good Nature.

Cecilia is good natured. People all
her life have complimented her on her
sunny disposition and even tempera-
ment. No amount of disagreeahle
happenings at the office can ruff1e her
or permanently erase the smile from
her face.
She's very sweet. is c. and when
she fell in love with Dick every one
called him a lucky fellow. &c. Will
never quarrel with him." people told
each other. He needn't fear nag
cling wife. The way will be pretty
smooth for him." And it was. The
days of their Courtship were calm and
peaceful. G.. never flew into RACES
c. never was suspicious or jealous or
irritated.
Dick seemed to thrive on the treat
ment for a while But Dick was
moody chap of few words. and he
didn't seem as pleased over his luck as
he should have been.
Conversations began to be heard on
the clubhouse porch: "My dear, it's, a
shame the way Dick talks to eczema.
He just sort of snaps at her when
ever she speaks to him. sometimes
he doesn't even answer her at all. III
he's in one of his moods, he sits quiet
all the time, and if she sort OF looks
if for some sign that he's listening,
he never even looks at her-glanceS
away in boredom"
Finally an old friend spoke to I.
about it. "Why not have 1T out with
Dick and ask him why he acts like
that to you?" she was asked. Doesn't
it bother you?'
ut bothers me awfully." C's eyes
| were troubled But ] hate to quarrel
with hinl-and he makes me so happy
when he's nice. l can't bear to nag
at him."
That's the attitude of such lot of
sweet-natured girls today. They don
want to nag. They don't want to
argue. They want to be nice to their
men. And so they spoil them-allow
! them to indulge their moods-and
gradually pile up lot of trouble for
themselves in the future.
Dick is a very usual fellow. He is
moody, rather selfish and sometimes
! irritable When he finds that he can
! take these moods out on G. without
a sign of protest from her he does 1T.
She allows him to sit in sUlky 81
lenco for hourS-and so he gets into
| the habit. c. is constantly being sub
mitted to the humiliation OF his
moods in public. If he's feeling worn
out and disagreeable. he snaps at her
every word She patiently tries to lS-
more him, but other people are watch
| ing and listening. G. is embarrassed
Any girl would be.
If your man shows such tendencies.
| the time to check him is now, before
marriage. You must, for the sake of
your own future happiness, take a
firm stand and insist on courtesy be
| ing shown you at all times, no matter
what your mans frame of mind.
If he gets into the habit of making
! the effort to be agreeable, your trou-
| bles will be over. But don't let him
think that you will patiently take all
Sights and cross words for the rest of
| your life. In that way you will put
yourself at the mercy of his moods
| it's not pleasant position for any one.

New York's Mayor in Jail.

HARTFORD, Conn, August 20,
1776-Mayor David Matthews of New
York City is here as a prisoner of the
United States because of his alleged
activities in New York's Tory plot
against Gen. George Washington. He
complai'S -srievously Of his treatment
at the lands Of the authorities, and
has today appealed to John Mckes-

vention for a softening of his trying
circumstances.
He was first sent to Litchf1eld for
Imprisonment. but was removed to
Hartford yesterday because the Litch
field Committee feared that his life
was in danger there because Of the
widespread belief in his guilt. He
finds Hartford no more hospitable
than Litchfield.

those of Prickly Porky the Porcupine,
and if they prick any one they sting.
But it was Reddy Fox himself who
found another member of the family.
He didn't know it was a member Of
the family when he found it. In fact,
what he first found was not a live
member of the family. but was simply
the skeleton of one. and it didn't look
at all like Sea Urchin. He found
it on the sand. 1t was round and flat,
quite thin, and on the upper side was
rounded ever 50 little. On this upper
side was pretty pattern in the shape
Of q star. What it was Eeddy didn't
have the least idea. At first he was
minded to leave it and forget it; but
this was no way to do. and he knew it.
SO he looked about for GrayWing the
Gull. lie felt sure that Graywing
would tell him what this thing was.
for GrayWinG seemed to know all
about the things on the beach.
Crawling was. sitting on a rock a
little way out in the water. Reddy
harked sharply Graywing heard him
and came flying over to see what was
the trouble. Reddy showed him what
he had found. That's a queer thing"
said Reddy.

nothing but a Sea Urchin."
"A what" cried Reddy For a min.
ute he didn't think he had heard
Alright.
"A Sea Urchin." replied Graywing
"At least. 1t used to be a Sea Urchin.
That is what is left of it. Follow me
and I'll show you a live one"
Graywing few slowly along. looking
down. Presently he alighted on a
rock on the edge of little pool.
Here's one" said he.
Reddy went over and looked down
in the water. This didn't look any
more like a Sea Urchin than the other
thing had: but he could see that it was
alive 1t was covered with spines. but
these spines were so tiny and fine that
they were almost like silk. This one
was moving along. for 1t had sucker
like feet AS a matter of fact, 1t was
what is called a Sand Dollar Some
folks call it Cake Urchin. 1t is a real
Sea Crchin and a close cousin to the
other Urchin Reddy had seen.
Not even Graywing, wise as he Is
in ways of the beach. knows every
thing about It. Graywing didn't know
that an indelible ink may be made by
pounding up a Sand Dollar in water.
So now you know something that
neither Crawling nor Reddy Fox
has vet learned.

$50 YEARS AGO TODAY
Story of the U. S. A.

the same Internal report has been in
dustriously propagated here, and that

If my life was to be made a sacrifice,
there was a more gentlemanlike way
of doing 1t than of being sent into a
country to be fired at from behind a
barn or stone fence. Could any per.
son that ever knew me suppose that
it would fall to my lot to say that
there Is not r place for me to rest the
sole of my foot on? Hard times, but
50 1t is.
II am now tossed about to and fro,
and no one to deliver me. May this
never be the lot of any Of my coun-
trymen l should be glad to hear from
you, whether I have anything to ex.
pect by which my person may be safe
or not. l should not have wasted so
much paper and ink were it not that
the very existence of a wife and 10
children depends on my life, and who
are rendered more distressed by such
villainous reports as have been propa.
gated"
His honor is right in one respect
he is wasting paper and ink. He is
here not merely because the New York
Convention knows of the charge
against him, but because it believes
the charge. This is why he does not
receive the resolve or certificate he
asks for.
