Again it makes most people lcok ages younger, more petite and wonderfully bewitching. Men are prone to say, “Give me a woman #s high as my heart.” With the hair aiilt up about three stories she usually omes much higher. But it takes more hair. be strictly accurate, Much more, to More is the pity, for 4 average girl of to-day hasn't got it. A HEavy RerPe EEFECTS She has frizzea and curled it untn only a wisp r.emalnl. So make a martyr of yourgelf right cheerfully. Tle very first thing to be done is to visit a hair dresser. Purchare a switch, and be sure that it matches your own hair to a nicety. Then have her do up your hair several times and instead of dreaming ebout your latest summer flirtation pay strict attention to the maid. First she will divide your hajr into two distinct parts, commencing at the middle ahd running half way_about your head. Then she will tie the batk portion tightly with a cord. That is the first and all im- poriant step. Then commences the curling proposition. The waves will be made as loose as pos- sible—about three of them, but they will be very marked. The old saying of “making one's hair stand on end” is brought into beautiful wut horribly dis- astrous play at this stage of the proceed- ings. & The eides are held loosely and the comb turns all the short locks backward. In other words, the hair is ruffed on ends and then smoothed in a delightfully decep- l tive fashion on the outside. That takes the place of the “roll” or “rat’” When the hair is all tied closely to the head it is time for the manipulator to get her ingenuity to work. ‘What are you going to do is the next question. Is it to be a reception, theater or just’a swell call? It all depends on that, you know, for the low style is not half as accommodating as the high. It is either severely plain or extremely elabo- rate. There seems to be no half way sta- tions. For evening wear the soft puffs are The hair is di- vided into about seven parts and each one is rolled into a puff and held in place by an invisible hairpin. When two curls are cunningly added, the entire effect is well worth the time and trouble expended. But that is, only the back, and one generally cares more about facing their friends than continually turning the cold shoul- der. . he front may be dressed in a variety pretty and not too fuzzy. of ways.

The three large waves are in evidence; very muchly so. The hair drops over the left eye and is held up on the other side. When a dainty aigrette or even a ribbon bow marks the part, it is a very fetching mode and bids fair to be a very pobular one. Then there is the new old fashion of parting the hair in the middle. It is slow- ly feeling its way back into life again. Not exactly like it used to léok, but near enough to recognize it without an intro- duction. The Lair is rolled on the sides and then the tiniest baby curls are made that can be imagined. Little “love” locks they are called, and they look like it, too. But that is a trying fashion and not very many people can wear it that way suc- cessfully; and success:is what every wo- man is looking for these days. A pretty and simple way is the rope The hair is twisted and twisted and then coiled in and out and held in place with hairpins that fail to make any impression. The latest fancy seems to be style. to use wire pins, not because they ara more comfortable but because they are not half as conspicuous. Either one ex- treme or the other—pins that can be seen half a block away or those that cannot be found with a microscope. The figure “8” is perhaps the simplest and easiest to do of all, and consequently the most in demand. There is nothing to it but to placé the coil in an eight and body can do it if she only has the necessary hair. fasten it down well. A This revision was sure to come sooner or later and it has come later, much to the annoyance of everybody who has to follow suit. The new hats are to blame for it all, but nobedy will say a word when they see how swagger they are and how universally becoming. A certain Parisian miliinery firm was established in a small way ten years ago. The first year the profits were $2160. The next year they had leaped to $19.000, and in three )'earsllud reached $234000. The last year’s balance showed $413,000 on the right side of the ledger.

He had- got three more out of the herd, and was reduced to his last barrel, when another elcphant, a tusker I think, gave him a very easy .chance, which he could hardly have missed, but he would not break his rule, so let him go. On returning to the clump of bam- boos he found two tuskers dead, making fivé elephants in all, and resretted he had not broken his rule for once.

There are about 500 sea es in Brit- ain. They crulsc along the coast. seldom touching the land, b always close to it, in old and weather-beaten cruft that m: have carried their grandfathers When the tide js out the old craft will often drop anchor by a sandbank island far out at sea. and her crew will grub for cockles with their hands, filling a score of baskets, but saying nothing to each other, fom they arealmost out of the habit of speech. They find fifty shellfish where the orddmary fisherman finds one, but they rarely do the same thing two days run- ning, and in the next hour they may be snaring ratb.ts on a headland miles away., The sea gypsies are wild-eved and thick set. Thelr hair is always either jet black or golden. They are still of almost pure Norse ot Danish descent, never having used the land and mixed with the shore folk to any extent. Their hands seem to be all thumbs instead of fingers, so pow- erful and stubby are the digits, because they have done nothing but haul on ropes and dig in the wet sand. There generally is a \whole family on each boat, and one of the youns'r mem- bers is sent ashore at times to sell the shellfish. The money he gets he spends at once for flour, meat and twine for net making. The sca gypsies never keep the squeer money about them—they do not care for it—but lay it out at cnce in goods. The cockles fished from the sea by this strange tribe generally find their way to Billings- gate eventually or are eaten in the lodg- houses of the seaside town. hey detest company of any kind. Some- they fall in with an inbound sailing that wants a pilot and does not e to pay the heavy dues pilots charge. So the eldest son on board the gypsy ck takes her in charge, and the ship- is deligh for the sea gypsy ever makes & mistake and will do the pilot work for very little. The old smack is towed aster but directly the ship makes her port the sea gypsy demands his money and scutties off, and the smack staggers out {0 sea again, so strongly dees fhe gypsy' hate haunts of man. He is the richer by two or three pounds, which wili kesp the entire family for as many months. This strange people has really no need for money exeept to buy tobacco, for they will live on the fish, sea birds and shellfish they catch for any length of time. There was a gypsy smack once that fell in with the abzndoned schoomer St. Lev- an off funderland. The gypsies boarded her and brought her into Shields, being awarded the vast sum of £14.0 for the sai- vage. The gypsy crew, as many North Country seamer know, lost their heads over the acquirement of so much wealth and came to live in Shields in a cottage on the Sunderland road. A fortnight from the date of their mov- ing in the old smack was seen putting to sea again, and the landiord found his ten- ants’ cottage deserted and the sum of £20 left him as a year's Tent forfeiture. A sea gypsy, it 1s said, would dle within a month on dry land. He looks awkward as a walrus who has lost his way when not on board his strange old vessel. But there is no healthier or happier race uae der heaven than the silent sea gypsies
