Suiting Oneself the Rule for Coiffures
Just go on and wear your hair aB
you will, in any way most becoming
to you, for tho goddess of fashion will
nod indifferent approval on anything.
For 30'mo monthB this capricious deity
has refusod to bo interested in hair
dressing styles. Sho did sit up and
tako notice when the bobbed coiffure
made its debut. It was so novul and
bo different, no one could help notic
ing. It is a lovely style for youthful
faces.
A few young women were willing to
go tho length of cutting off "bob
bing" the hair at tho sides for tho
sako of tho stylo, but many wore not.
These very qenslblo ones achieved a
halrdross wRh tho bobbed effect by
bringing tho hair out over tho cheeks
and turning tho ends under. Tho back
hair was disposed of in a flat coll low
on the crown, and all held in placo by
much pinning and by bands of narrow
velvet-ribbon.
Older women havo remained faith
ful to waved hair combed in a small
pompadour and dressed with a knot,
rather high on tho head. Others, with
youthful faces, havo been most suc
cessful with hair unwaved but pinned
Into becoming lines about tho face, it
is drawn back and twisted into n knot
which supports largo ornamental
shell pins. An oxamplo of this style,
with everything to recommend it, is
pictured hero. This is tho manner of
arranging tho hair about tho face
which Is favored by tho majority of
women. Tho disposition of tho hair at
tho back is only govorned by tho
choice and taste of tho Individual.
Use Jersey Cloth.
Jersey cloth is used for tho middy
sweater of silk or silk fiber. This is
tho only sweater now used that slips
on and off over tho head. It has white
sailor collar and cuffs, and is laced
through four or flvo holes nt the front
with silk cord. It is especially attrac
tivo for very young girls. ,
Shawl Coats.
There aro some interesting import
ed coats made of big shawls or steam
er rugs, with fringe around tho bot
tom and edging tho capo section that
falls over tho sleeves, or sometime
edging tho wide collar Instead.
Pretty Undermuslins of Sheer Materials

Embroideries for women's under
garments tho sorts that aro sold by
tho yard havo grown moro and moro
sheer until now ono must look twice
to discover whether some of thorn are
of silk chiffon or of swlss. Sine
weaves In voile havo proven to bo prac
tical as a background for dainty em
broidery patterns to bo used in under
wear becauso their wearing qualities
aro equal to thoeo of tho materials
used In tho body of tho garments. In
fact a good quality of sheer cotton
voilo ombroldery will outwear tho
nainsook or muslin which It trims.
Speaking of sheer materials in un
dergarments, it is not to bo over
looked that chiffon and lino crepes
como in for much consideration in tho
moro expenslvo and less practical
frivolities that aro so enticingly pret

ligees, underbodices for wear with
thin blouses, and oven less conspicu

Points Involved in tho dispute
over tho financing of tho pure
food commission aro likely to bo lam
before tho supremo court within a
short tlnio. Tho nffair will como up
in a 'case brought by Governor Moro
head to compel Treasurer Hall to
tnnko tho nnvments of fire and food
commission vouchors. Tho court will
likely give tho matter attention at
nnc.o. Thorn is a rlinnco tho railway
commission will bo disturbed in its
present relationship, and that Govern.
or Morchcad will take kindly to At
torney General Reed's suggestion that
that body as now composed, is exist
ing contrary to law. If tho governor
does this ho will unseat all tho pres
ent members and that would glvo
tho people of tho state a chaiico to
express themselves upon Tom Hall.
Both Halls would then como up for
expression next year ono on tho re
publican and ono on tho democratic
ticket.
turo given hero bears witness to this.
It is mado in tho empire style and Is
tho simplest thing to put together.
Tho short "baby" waist Is merely al
ternatlng strips of val insertion and
swlss embroidery, with edges whipped
togethor. Under tho arms tho em
broidery strips are omitted becauso
at this point of most wear tho lace
is moro desirable.
The short waist Is finished at the
bottom with a narrow open beading
which Joins it to tho skirt portion of
tho chemise. Tho necfr and armholes
are edged with val lace, set on about
tho nock with a very narrow beading,
Mngerio ribbon Is run in tho bead
tngs. It Is to bo tied In full bows
when the garment is adjusted.
The bottom of tho chemise is
longthoned at tho back, cut into a
tab and finished with laco edging,
Two buttonholes aro worked In tho
tab and fasten over small, flat pearl
buttons that aro sowed to tho front
This adjustment of tho chemlso gives
its namo of "tno envelope" und kpops
