Coiffures for Growing Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds: Is it so terribly
questionable to let ones hair grow?
I am so tired of my bob. l have
heard that many girls and women in
the larger cities are doing their hair
up. Is this true? Please suggest
way to wear my hair while it is grow
ing long again. I am 80 years old and
feet inches tall. What should l
weigh? MRS. l.. ED.
Answer--Fashions in coiffures come
and go. A few years ago the bob was
the latest thing in hairdressing; now
the bob is old and the long coiffure is
new again. Many girls feel as you
do and are letting their hair grow, so
do not hesitate to follow suit if you
feel inclined to do so. The bobbed
coiffure will still be worn by those
who find it convenient or especially
becoming, but the long-hair coiffure
is just as fashionable. When letting
the hair grow it is a good plan to con-
tinue shingling the back until the
front and side hair is long enough to
reach back and makes small coil
at the nape of the neck. This COW
ers the short back hairs. Another way
is to pin the front hair behind the
ears and allow the back hair to grow
until it is long enough to curl upward
in small roll across the back of the
neck or to be fashioned in French
twist. The average weight for girls
of your age and height is 1873 pounds.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 10, 1884 grant of
$120,000, or IAN ADVANCE" as it was
called in the act, was made to the
Federal Government today by the
General Assembly of Virginia for the
new Federal City, conditioned upon
the selection by Congress of site on
the Potomac River. The Legislature
of Maryland has also indicated its
willingness to grant money to help
erect public buildings for the Presi-
dent and Congress if site on the
Potomac is chosen, or any other site
in that State.
The inhabitants of Baltimore have
been eager to have that city selected
for the seat Of government. They are
prepared, it Is said, to raise large
sum of money to provide the neces-
sary public buildings. They point to
the fact that their city has already
been tested as a meeting place for
Congress, for in the Winter of 1776,
when the British occupied Philadel-
phia, Congress adjourned to Balti-
more, where a session lasting two
months was held. At the next meet
ing Congress was able to return to
Philadelphia. Since that time great
changes have taken place in Balti-
more. It's trade has increased and it's
population nearly doubled. The in
crease of business there has been
marked by corresponding falling off
in trade in towns on the Potomac, in
Guiding Georgetown and Alexandria.
December 10, 1814.-The business
of Isaac Peirce. nurseryman, has been
growing rapidly. Today he advertised
to sell 10000 engrafted apple trees
'at his nursery 3 miles from George
town on Rock Creek" His house,
built of stone. stands on the west side
of Rock Creek.

Nature in Winter is something like

objects near the glass at which we

dim forms of the bigger objects at the

known limitations of Winter nature
How much feebler are the nature OBJ

Yet even a hospitals window may

Indeed, the very sameness of the view
forces the attention to learn new
things-the way trees branch, the way
vines cling to walls. A vine in Sum

against the wall, they hold themselves

SuperfIuOuS Hair on Lin,

Dear Miss Leeds: have dark hairs
on my upper lip and have tried bleach
ing them with mixture of ammonia
lemon Juice and peroxide. The bleach
seemed to burn the skin and the hairs
came in darker. Is it perfectly safe
to have these hairs removed perma
nently with the electric needle? VIII
tie operation leave scars.
OCENA II.
Answer-The bleach you have used
is too strong for the skin. l think
you will find the most satisfactory
way to solve this beauty problem is
to have the offending hairs removed
by electrolysis tthe electric needle).
If the work is done by a competent
operator, no permanent scars will re-
main The ray method is also used
to remove superfluous hairs perma-
nently. If you prefer using bleach,
however, 1 suggest your using two
parts Of peroxide to one part of am
monia; this will bleach the hairs in
time. If the skin becomes too dry,
rub in a little cold cream.
