dunn Of fiction.
DR.. Barnhill, whose book was re-
viewed yesterday by Mrs. Robert Clay

visited every place mentioned In the
book.
He explained his picture of George
Washington in his novel was drawn
from his sincere belief in Washing

Reminiscent
Of Middle
Eighties
Many Ornaments
Used to Fasten
Curls in Place.
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.


TURNING the pages Of ladys book
written in 1864 I came across these
directions for . party hair dress:
"Headdress Of white plumes. The
hair rolled up to one side Of the head,
the ends allowed to hang In short
curls, the curls fastened by . jeweled
ornament. The back hair Is rolled up
and fastened by an ornamented comb
which can be seen from the front.
White plums on top"
1854 or 1898? There Is no differ
ence. Today's beauty is getting a kick
out Of rolling her tresses high and
fastening them with ornaments of
jewels, plumes and little bows.
Even against your will you are going
to be tempted in dressing your hair
in these newest of fashions. And to
save you aggravation and dismay, let
me warn you that it requires patient
fussing before your hair realizes that
1t has changed from . page boy bob
into a Cody coiffure!
The simplest way to train 1t is to
comb 1t high all of the time. Select
q simpler style. but still high on the
head, for business. And If you do not
go to business, then roll your hair into
knot on top Of your head after .
good up" brushing.
Combs and barrets, you will find,
are almost indispensable in keeping
the dressed hair in place, 50 you should
have inconspicuous ones to wear dur
ing the day. and jeweled ones to wear
1T night.
To look alluring your hair simply
must be in good condition. Dried,
frizzed ends show more in the new
dressings than they did before. And
too oily hair just has no appeal. The
hair must be clean, lustrous and soft,
If you desire dainty, fluffy coif1ure.
Frequent brushings, weekly shampoos
and special treatments are required
to keep 1t in a pliable condition.
Some girls are getting nice high
lights by using gold and silver powder,
puffed on the hair whenever you de-
sire . highlight-after 1t has been
dressed. This must, however. be thor
oughly brushed out at the end of the
gala evening and not allowed to re-
main on the scalp overnight.
And it isn't necessary to keep your
hair short to wear it becomingly.
Longer hair can be attractively rolled
and pulled into interesting and flatter-
ing styles. It will require . little
experimenting on your part at first,
but fickle Is we women are, 1t will be
no time ut all before you wonder how
on earth you ever wore a long bobi

faced crepes-some with ribbed sur.
faces and other treatments, others
with the appearance of wool, suede or
velvet. The business girl will like the
classic canton silk crepes, silk jerseys
or Satins-all done in the suitable type
OF dress for her needs Whether she
chooses them in the ever popular shirt
waist. tailored style or In the softer
silhouette, they will be entirely prac-
tical. As general thing, necklines
are higher, sleeves fuller, waistlines
lower and fullness is seen often In
the front Of the frock.
For the home maker-and that in
cludes the woman who has an active
interest in clubs, lectures and other
groups-the silk guild suggests drama.

are all the new shades suggested by
French couturiers and American de-
signers, and subtly carried out in silk
fabrics. Contrasting color in q Jacket.
sash, or slenderizing full length panel
Is particularly smart for this group of
women.
or course, it is our firm belief that
all the persuasion, build-up and rec
ommendation in the world will never
quite cure those addicted to black.
Statistics show that 70 to 80 per cent
OF all American women are stanch
supporters of it, but this year, more
than ever, they are using it with varia-
tions OF solid color in the form of
metal embroideries, or appliques Of
silk and metal lame fabric. These are
particularly good for the business
woman who goes directly from Office
to recreational events and who feels
the need for "double-d duty" frocks.
THE motif this season is to look
quaint-and you need not be self
conscious about it. All about us we
see evidence OF the demure appear
ance-high shoulders, uplifted bust
lines, tiny waists that are inclined to
be little lower in line. The acces-
sories. Of course, look like something
you have borrowed from the days Of
grandmother's girlhood, and the hour
glass silhouette is keeping corsetieres
and dietitians on the jump.
Fashion this season has stressed
number of very important points. To
be up on the latest trend we must
realize that we require charm, quaint
ness, femininity, luxury and color. The
cry is for dramatic and decorative
clothes, and the leading designers of
the world, the outstanding shops and
the manufacturers of fabrics are doing
their best to see that our demand Is
fulfilled. No wonder the silk industry
has created their loveliest fabrics to
keep up with the demand for luxurious
clothes. Whether you shop in the
piece-goods department or in the
ready-to-wear you will ind fabrics
this year that are designed to har-
monte with the new trend.

My Neighbor Soys:

A compost heap is a storehouse
OF plant nourishment. 1t is made
by collecting all the odds and
ends Of garden refuse and allow
ing them to rot. A compost heap
Is not very ornamental, of course,
and q good plan to follow on
small places is to use an old
molasses barrel. If hole a foot
square is cut in the bottom and
the barrel then placed top down
over a large, shallow box set well
out Of sight, perhaps in a thicket
OF shrubs, all the refuse may be
deposited through the hole. The
addition Of little good soil will
produce exceedingly valuable
mold for house plants as well as
for distributing over the lawn
and using for top dressing in the
perennial garden.
To prevent a gas stove from
