draw the front hair in q wave above
each temple and over the bandeau.
Arrange the side hair smoothly over
the ears. If the hair is long, twist it
in a fiat coil on the back of the head.
Try to keep the lines of the coiffure
very simple, so that the shape of the
head may be seen. This coiffure is
especially suitable for rather coarse
black or dark brown hair. For eve
ming a rhinestone band may be fas-
tened across the back.
In general, straight-hair coiffures
are more becoming to unlined, young
faces than to more mature types. The
latter need few softening waves
about the brow or cheeks. This is
especially true for women with thin,
sharp features. A pretty Counterpart
coiffure for this type of face may be
dressed with bobbed hair that is being
allowed to grow or hair.that is a little

three ringlets to hang in front Of each

the ends and also wave the top section
and slip a small hair net over it. Wear

around the head. Have it come low

The waves of front hair should be

Joan is putting on another of her anti
smoking campaigns, and Friday she
said it was because she was worried
about my health, and yesterday she
said it was because smoking is such
an extravagant habit. and today she
thought extra hard and said it was
because 1 was setting a bad example
for the baby. and you might think she
had run clear out of ideas after
springing a weak one like that, but
she will have something new again
tomorrow. Your wife always has.
She said: "If the baby sees you
smoking your head off all the time,
he probably will start the habit him
self as soon as he can put cigarette
in his mouth" I said: II suppose if
I get bald he will pull all his hair out,
too? Where did you get brainstorm
like that?" She said: Little boys

Joan said: II suppose you wouldn't
mind it if you saw your son putting
a vile cigarette" And I said: "Why
should 1? It would keep him from
sucking his thumb all the time"
Joan said: II didn't exactly mean
that he would be smoking before his
first birthday, you KNOW" I said:
"Well, when are you looking for him
to start?" And she said: Never, if
have my way. 1 am going to promise
him a gold watch if he won't smoke
until he Is 81"
1 said: ''My mother told me the
same joke, and it wasn't original with
her, either. Eve probably pulled it on
Cain and Abel. 1t wouldn't surprise
me if there was more to that trouble
in the Garden Of Eden than has ever
come out"
So lit another cigarette on account
of needing it, and Joan said: my
heavens, are you going to smoke an
other one?" And I said: mo; 1 am
just lighting this for the baby" She
said: "It wouldn't surprise me. / de-

She said: "Would you actually ap-

If one is extremely tired at night or
is terribly worried, a very simple meal
should be taken. A cream soup with
vegetable base, with toast, perhaps a
poached egg and some appetizing, SIM

Whatever can be easily digested and

Excessive smoking may be the foun-

Excessive coffee or tea drinking may
be at the root of the trouble. Too
much meat may bring on intestinal
putrefaction and thus poison the sys-

sleeplessness.
Sometimes a walk in the open air
will induce sleep. Playing golf or ten

this Spring and Summer. These little
jackets, though sometimes made with

of the mannish smoking" jacket of
a season ago and revival of the
close-fitting little jackets or sacques
that were so widely worn in the fash
ion period that we associate with
Marie Antoinette in France and
Martha Washington in this country.
FlOwered taffetas were in vogue
then as now, and there were deli
cately hued brocades and velvets. In
those days the sacque frock often
showed panniers at the side of the
skirt and a dainty lace apron at the
front. PannierS haven't been revived
nor have ornamental aprons, but the
fitted little evening jacket has come
into considerable prominence.
Sometimes these picturesque little
Jackets are made with long sleeves.
sometimes with ruffled elbow sleeves.
sometimes with sleeves that end be-
tween shoulder and elbow and some
times with no sleeves at all.
The jacket is usually of different
material from that of the skirt. Satin
may be used with a full tulle skirt;
georgette covered with paiflettes or
heavily beaded may be used with plain
georgette: taffeta may be used with
figured tulle or organdie. For Sum-

Two quarts of peaches that are not
soft enough to eat, yet are fairly ripe.
Cover with a syrup made of one cup

peaches with the skins on until they

fruit from time to time. Whe'l flavor

Add the strained juice of two sour
oranges. Serve chilled and poured
over cracked ice. If the beverage
lacks zest, as it may if the peaches
are too ripe. the quantity of sour
orange juice may be increased or the
juice of lemon may be added.
There should not be so much other
fruit juice that it quells the flavor of
the peaches.

Weigh the pulp and return it to the
