copper plate printing took the place OF
hand painting of the decoration years
after, when the Ornamenting OF the
textile was done in England and
France particularly. From the time
that this happened the designs &C
quired an Occidental quality and be-
came differentiated and distinctive from
the Indian work. Now toileS de Jouy
may be made in Europe. in England,
America. etc. but they continue to be
French in character. At one time pat
terms not infrequently were designed by
artists who signed their paintings.
These tolleS are priced.
Toiles de Jouy. although once costly
are now within the purse limits of any
home decorator They come in eX-
pensive quality. with choice patterns, OF
in cheaper quality. with less intricate
designs and employing fewer colorS.
Lengths of toileS de Jouy make ex-
cellent hangingS in Summer homes.
These may be hung above tables, desks,
divans. etc; in living rooms in Sum-
mer dress or they may ornament the
walls of chambers and upstairs rooms.
Sometimes whole walls are covered with
these toileS instead of wallpaper. and
again wallpapers have toile de Jouy de-
signs. These are but glimpses Of the
many uses to which toiles de Jouy are
appropriately introduced in interior
decoration.

BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 8, 186l.-Four companies of the
2nd Regiment of Regular Cavalry are
among the troops now on the Virginia
side of the Potomac River near Wash
ineton They are regarded as the elite
of the Grand Army Years of active
service in Texas have made the men
experienced soldiers and their presence
is giving confidence to the raw levies
among whom they are quartered
One company of this regiment is at
Alexandria A squadron is stationed
just back of Arlington House, consisting
of G. Company, commanded by Lieuts.
NJ M Kimmel and j. B. Holloway, and
l Company, commanded by Lieut.. t
Drummond. The whole force on the
Virginia side is commanded by Capt.
A. G. Bracket of Mexican War renoWn.
since known as an experienced Indian
fighter on the frontier.
Three Regulars are doing most of the
hard service in picket and scouting duty
and the men are constantly on the
alert When the seceSsioniSts were sup
posed to be advancing in force against
the United States forces four or five
days ago Capt. Brackets command
was the first to get in motion and pre-
pare to meet them. The Regulars of
this regiment met and drove back a
Cavalry scouting party from Leesburg,
which they met about six miles from
Arlington. They captured five men,
who were later released on parole.
The End Regiment Regulars have also
been engaged at Fairfax Court House
and are rendering good service there,
sorely troubling the volunteer and in
experienced dragons of the Old Do
minion.
Two companies of the I'd Regiment
still remain at the Treasury Building
here. and other companies are at
Chambersburg, Pa.

burned nearly to the waters edge.

Coiffures for Round Faces.

Dear Miss Leeds: How should I wear
my hair. / have a very round face.
Could l wear the wind-blown bob?
K. E. T.
AnSWer-So many of my readers ask
this question that I am going to de-
scribe several coiffureS today for this
type of face. OF course, in deciding
how to wear ones hair one should con-
slider ones height, the length of the
neck breadth of figure and features.
ID Part the hair on the right side.
Bring the hair down in deep dip over
the middle and left side of the forehead.
Push the hair up at the left temple,
fastening it with clip. and then let
the ends swing forward and curl up
on the cheek. The right side of the
forehead is uncovered, the hair being
brushed back from the temple on that
side and brought forward on the cheek
to match the other side. The hair is
waved in swirl effect around the head.
Cd The hair is parted low on the
right The small strand of hair at the
front is divided out and made into two
fiat curls. The first curl is rather large
and is arranged in the center of the
fore head: the smaller curl is above the
end of the left eyebrow. The hair on
the sides is long enough to cover the
ears.
90 When the roundness of the face
is to be accentuated, wear long bangs
The bangs may be cut in an oval
shape. straight across or in a point. like
a low widows peak. The hair should
cover the ears. The wind-blown bob,
since it covers the forehead, makes the
face seem rounder and shorter.

chartreuse and yellow. Black with blue

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. June g.
Corinne Griffith. returning from Paris,
finds Hollywood quite behind the times.
That's a blow to the village, because,
between you and me, there are those
who think styles are originated in this
neck of the woods.
Corinne Gritfth wore a tight little
felt turban with a veil embroidered in
Self-color almost to the chin. This is
the latest fad in the French capital, it
seems.
The skirt of her smart travelling suit
was much longer than those that reveal
the dimpled knees of local beauties. 1t
had dignity-and Hollywood, which
loves the dramatic. the bizarre, the
brea h-taking, doesn't go in for simple
dignity.
The evening gowns she brought with
her are exceedingly long, trailing to the
ground in back and some OF them quite
short in front: but never in any case is
an evening gown straight all around
The Griffith tour was to include most
Of Central Europe, but ended by long
visit in Paris and a week end in Cannes
and two at lie Touquet.
There's really no reason for a beauti-
full woman to leave Paris, anyway. I'M
less she's determined TO see scenery,
and Hollywood studios are full of the
best variety of painted linen views of

from the throats of the erstwhile kings

The public grew tired of reading

Among the many fine decorative tex
tiles that are used in interior decora-
ton toiles de Jouy hold high rank
The name comes from the French
toiles, meaning textiles of cotton or
linen and Jouy. the small village where
the printing of textile by a special
process was extensively carried on. So
famous did this village become for this
industry that now, although the origi-
nal factory was destroyed in 1915, all
prints of certain type still retain the
name of toileS de Jouy.
A feature of these printed cottons is
their pictorial element Originally de-
signs were Oriental. the cotton cloth
being manufactured i'll India and the
decoration being done in that Far East
ern country. The pictures were actually
hand-painted and had a marvellous
charm. just as India prints have to
this day. Scenes were realistic. with
repeats having the slight discrepancies
80 priced in all handicraft. 1t is these
discrepancies that no machine can
produce. The chief horticultural deco
iration was the tree of life in some of
its thousands of forms. Frequently
scenes were interspersed with vases or
urns of flowers. birds, human figures
and conventionalized ornaments. The
latter chung closely to realism, as, for
instance. scrolls encircling scenes.

naturally excretes much more water

she had not stayed at home and been
