a Ne ee. ND now st’s the H. C. of F. H.! ‘Which, transtated, means the High Cost of False Hair. That dear Paris has decreed the return of the chignon, famflitarly known to our grandmothers as the “waterfall—the tall and picturesque tower of hair, rising in a sort of Pike's Peak effect from ear to ear across the crown of the head and flowing gently down- ‘ward to the ape of the neck. Now if you have a yard or two of hair all your own, the newest thing ‘tm coiffures means nothing to your pocketbook. But alas for the bald : heads and the boybed heads! “When the chignon reaches New York,” Miss Blanche Lewis, a well known hairdresser and beauty spe- West 44th Street told me, “the average woman will need at deast $50 worth of hair to arrange her If her hair is gray, ash blonde or red, she may pay from J $100 to $300 for the artificial hair to be used in the new arrangement—es- jady if her own hair has been bibexd."” This is at present prices for artificial hair, But with the increased demand the prices are bound to go up. In Paris, where the “waterfall” is now Walling on the head of every pretty woman, switches have become so ex- pensive that it is computed a woman's hair is worth ten times its weight in gold. “Just now,” continued Miss Lewis, “the fashion of bobbing is spreading fast among New York girls. If they aupt the chignon next autumn—Paris fs us, ‘* about six months ahead of New \..4, you know—a tremendous tity of artificial hair will be de- manded by the woman who wants to be beautiful, And she'll have to pay ea costs to be beautiful, but why does it cost so much?" I asked. “Because the men who used to make On Health About Fruits—Helen B, L.— Bananas should not be eaten until the skins are dark and spotted, as before this time they are not fully ripened and are too starchy for most persons to digest.

Before the war the $50 switch cost $30.” This story is not for husbands, any- way—no wife should permit them to read it. Therefore, I dectded to delve a little deaper into the secrets of the boudoir and the high cost of being beautiful. “How much can a woman spend, MERICAN HAIRDRESSER.

Once we could afford to wave and dress the hair for 50 cents, but now we have to charge $1, When we could hire a mani- cure girl for $9 to $10 a week—now we pay hor $18—a manteure was 29 cents, At present it is 50 conts, and $1 in some shoips. The total is $11, and it could be spent ever so easily in an afternoon, Of course, if the woman bought any hair or rouge or powder or anything of the sort, she would spend several dollars more.” And these are NOT Fifth Avenue, prices!

Cocoa as a Drink—M. L.—Chocolate and cocoa are more valuable than tea and coffee, because they have a high food value, As chocolate contains more fat than cocoa it is harder to digest if used to any excess. Some persons who object to drinking milk can be per- suaded to try cocoa and find it more palatable. For this reason it is good in convales¢ence if it does not tax the digestion, It should be boiled, but not too long, so as not to destroy its flavor, but In order to cook the starch which it contains.

RS. RANGLE sat, hatted and M veiled, waiting for her friend, Mrs, Jarr, and it was event that some most important mutual ex- cursion called them forth. “I don't know what people think of me,” saidMrs. Rangle, as sie nipped at the veil under her chin and pulled it down with that peculiar and char- acteristic action of women with which (by pulling the edges of the vell with the hand and dropping the chin as if gulping down something at the same time) they adjust their vells. “But it's a thing one must do; there's no escaping it. But I do de- clare it's a bother!" said Mrs, Rangle, “Oh, dear me!" said Mrs, Jarr at the door,” if I haven't forgotten my card case.” And she went over to the bureau and felt along the top of the bureau cover. The hard outline of a key was encountered and Mrs. Jarr took it from under the cover, opened the bureau drawer, got out her card case, locked the drawer and put the key back under the cover. All women lock things securely and then put the key somewhere where it will be easy for everybody to find. This is a great precaution against burglars, inquisitive servants and children. “I do hope we are going at the proper time,” said Mrs. Rangle, “And are you sure?" “I'm certain or I wouldn't go," said Mrs, Jarr. And the two ladivs walked down the street till they came to Mrs, Stryver’s house, “Mrs, Stryver's out,” said the maid. “Dear me!” said Mrs. Jurr. “Isn't it too bad!" said Mrs, Rangle. Then both Mdies left their cards “Didn't I tell you?" said Mrs, Jarr. “She's out calling herself,” ‘They then proceeded to the house where Clara Rudridge-Smith lived, “Mrs. Smith is out,” said the butler. “Oh, yes,” said Mrs, Jarr sweetly. “[ remember now, Mrs. Smith goes to the Woman's Stay-at-Home Club to- day. We'll leave our cards.” ‘The two then journeyed on to where Mrs, Hickett resided in a boarding house. “Mrs, Hickett ain't in,” said the eervant girl, “She goes to ree her SA NICE !

But sometimes, when one is looking over a card tray in a friend's house one can pick out several one left there before.” “To be sure,” said Mrs, Jarr. “And now that’s done, let us go enjoy our- selves.

That is, the aver- age film of five hundred feet. ‘The mysteries of their manufacture” are clearty and interestingly disclosed by E.G, Luts in “Making Animated Cartoons,” a book just Issued by Chas. Scribners Sona. Bixteen different ,drawings are flashed upon the screen every second. Mr. Lutz lets the public im on all the “trade secrets” and illustrates his text profusely with diagrammatic drawings. Firstly, the artist has a specially constructed drawing board, “All the workérs make their draw- 8,000 DRAWINGS ARE NECESSARY TO MAKE A MOVI ings over a board that has the mid- die portion cut out and into which is fitted a sheet of thick glass, Under thts glass is fixed an electric light. On the board, along the upper ruargin of the glass, there is fastened to the ‘wood a bar of iron to which two pegs are firmly fixed. These pegs are a little less than one-half inch bigh and distant from each other about five inches.”” ‘The special size linen drawing paper (9x12 inches), has holes punched at the top to fit.over the pegs. “Fitting one of these sheets of paper over the pegs, the artist is ready for work. He can see the glare of the electric light underneath, This illumination enables him to trace lines on the top sheet of paper from lines on a paper underneath, and make slight variations concerned in any action.” Now, the reason for the pes is this: Certain figures and details do not move or change for a time. These are traced from one drawing to an- other, The sheets are held in place by pegs and they insure the regia ing of Wentical details throughout @ series, Mr. Lutz then ‘reveals the many tricks of eliminating the drudgery of making eight thousand different drawings.
