To Decorate Dancing Coiffures
SIN'CE dancing has come to be in
dulged in by everyone from grand
mamma down to the baby, any num
ber of hair ornaments and dancing
caps have come to the light of day, or
more probably, to the twinkling lights
of night. Here are two of them, one
for the carefully coifed lady and one
for the curly-haired little girl.
In those made for young women,
caps to hold the hair in place have
outnumbered all others, but. with the
introduction of less strenuous danc
ing bands of all kinds encircling the
head and holding the hair about the
face in place have come to the fore.
Nearly all these bands are more or
less elaborately set. Rhinestones
with silver filagree form the back
ground to their alluring brilliance.
The band shown in the picture em
ploys both rhinestones and tiny vel
vet flowers in its composition. Small
sprays of velvet forget-me-nots re
minding one of branches of coral be
cause they are coral-colored and set
in short, straight spikes of the blos
soms. are mounted on a strand of
rhinestones. This ornament encircles
the head, the ends fastening in with
short hairpins. A more secure fas
tening is managed by a small hook at
one end of the band which grasps a
loop at the other end, the fastening
concealed under a strand of hair. A
fine hair net helped out with a close
fitting band of this kind will keep the
coiffure unspoiled for many a gay hour.
Purely for ornament and by way of
being unusual, the fragile butterfly
made of threads worked into a lace
stitch, is mounted on a plain narrow
band of ribbon, for the head of a lit
tle girl. Her dancing curls will take
care of themselves: the band of rib
bon will restrain them from falling
over her face. The lacy butterfly is
outlined with the very finest of silk
covered wire which supports the more
than gauzy wings.
The gay and buoyant bows of rib
bon, which are set at pert angles on
the heads of little girls, are like but
terflies in shape and seem to lie poised
ready to fly. Just a little more airy,
the butterfly of needlework in the
very simplest of stitches is pretty for
the little girl who is herself like a
dancing butterfly.
And Now the Military Shoe
ANEW aspirant for favor, with all
the signs pointing toward its suc
cess, is just launched. Smart shoes,
full of snap and style, usher in the
military mode in footwear, with colors
and braidings and new features in cut
and finish distinguishing them from
;ime-honored styles from which they
bare departed.
The vogue for cloth-topped boots,
having gray or tan or white uppers,
will help to make the military shoe a
success. The transition from these to
colors less unobtrusive promises to
be easy. Footwear has for the past
three seasons been growing more
showy and no one can deny the at
tractiveness of boots made to match
costumes, and the elegant black and
white footwear which has distinguish
ed the season just passing.
But the new military styles are not
confining the manufacturers to neu
tral or quiet colors. Their uppers are
made in cloth, in regimental or other
blue shades, in maroon, green and
brown. Just the smartest develop
ments of all for spring is the shoe
having cloth like the gown embodied
in its make-up. The strong materials
used in tailored skirts answer the pur
pose very well. A more practical idea
is evident in spats, made of the ma
terial of the gown, to be worn over
either high or low shoes having patent
leather vamps.
The military shoes are ornamented
with soutache braid and brightened
with patent leather tips. They are
one of the straws which show which
way the wind blows in new footwear.
The trend of fashion is toward more
fanciful models.
The picture given here includes a
pair of shoes such as are made for
children. There is nothing unusual
about them, but they are to be com
mended for the shape, which accom
modates itself perfectly to the foot—
this is the requisite of first importance
in considering footwear for the young
| people,

; with two tucks at the center laid close

Ornaments Necessary.
The small furnishings of a room are
the things that really furnish it. The
| wall covering may be in the most ap
proved of neutral tones, the floors maj|
be faultlessly finished, the rugs may
be exquisite and in impeccable taste
and the furniture may be the product
of careful workmanship and careful
choosing. Even the pictures on the
wall and the lights may be faultless
and yet the room in question will lack
a certain air of completeness unless a
few objects, vaguely termed “orna
ments,” be included in its furnishings.
As Petticoats Return.
Petticoats made of pique, button
holed in big scallops about the hem,
are durable and serviceable. They are
not transparent, and that is one of
the things that commend them for
practical wear.
Quite the opposite of the pique pet
ticoat is that of net. It is often hand
embroidered with a scalloped edge,
and some conventional design made
up of dots and sprays of leaves above
the scallop.
The dancing petticoat is usually
made with a slash in each side. This
arrangement insures freedom, without
which it is impossible nowadays to
dance. The lower edge of the front
and back of the petticoats are usually
rounded so that the petticoat is really
formed of two sections rounded to
gether along their long edges and
fitted or gathered into the waist along
the narrow edges.
And it's surprising how many bar
gains we see in the shop windows
ROADS IN BETTER CONDITION
Split-Log Drag of Great Service in
Keeping Thoroughfares in Shape
—How It Is Built.
The use of the split-log drag is im
portant in putting the roads in shape.
There are over 2,000,000 miles of earth
roads in the country, and the split-log
drag is of great service in keeping
them in economical repair. The drag
is used in many states and in foreign
countries. It is used with two, three,
or four horses, and is easily con
structed.
It is a mistake to construct a heavy
drag. A dry red cedar log is the best
material for a drag. Red elm and wal
nut when thoroughly dried are excel
lent, and box elder, soft maple, or even
willow are preferable to oak, hickory
or ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long, and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter, and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slabs should be selected for the
front. At a point on the front slab
four inches from the end that is to be
at the middle of the road locate the
center of the hole to receive a cross
stake, and 22 inches from the other
end of the front slab locate the center
for another cross stake. The hole
for the middle stake will lie on a line
connecting and halfway between the
other two.
Th€> back slab should then be placed
in a position behind the other. From
the end at the middle of the road
measure 20 inches for the center of
the cross stake, and six inches from
the other end locate the center of the
vgger
The Split-Log Drag.
outside stake. Find the center of the
middle hole as before. Wheu these
holes a re brought opposite each other,
one end of the back slab will lie 16
inches nearer the center of the road
way than the front one. The holes
should be two inches in diameter. Care
must be taken to hold the auger plumb
in boring these holes in order that
the stakes shall fit properly.
The two slabs should be held 30
inches apart by the stakes. The
stakes should taper gradually toward
the ends There should be no shoul
der at the point where the stakes en
ter the slab. The stakes should be
fastened in place by wedges only.
When the stakes have been placed in
position and tightly wedged a brace
two inches thick and four inches wide
should be placed diagonally to them
at the ditch end. The brace should be
dropped on the front slab, so that its
lower edge shall lie within an inch of
the ground, while the other end
should rest in the angle, between the
slab and the end stake. A strip of
iron about three and one-half feet long,
three or four inches wide, and one-half
of an inch thick may be used for the
blade.
An ordinary trace chain is strong
enough to draw the implement, pro
vided the clevis is not fastened
through a link. The chain should be
wrapped around the rear stake, then
passed over the front slab. Raising the
chain at this end of the slab allows
the earth to drift past the face of the
drag. The other end of the chain
should be passed through the hole in
the end of the slab.
Make-Up of Dairy Cow.
A wide, deep and full barrel or side
is very important in a dairy cow. She
must have plenty of room in which to
manufacture milk from food and a
large barrel indicates large digestive
organs. A wide mouth and long, strong
jaws also indicate that Bossy is, like
Bill Nye, “fond of food.” She ought
also to have a large belly and moder
ately high flank.

MADE A LIGHTNING CHANGE
Occasion When Lord Salisbury Wast
ed Little Time in Getting Into
Dinner Costume.
The late Lord Salisbury, says Count
Paul Vassill in his book, “Behind the
Veil at the Russian Court,” shared
with the rest of his family the defect
of being rather careless in his dress
and general appearance. Lord Odo
Russell, who long represented Eng
land at Berlin, told Count Vassili this
amusing little anecdote in illustration
of that characteristic:
"One evening," says the count,
“Lord Odo and I were chatting about
Lord Salisbury’s attitude toward his
personal appearance—not ill-natured
ly, for it is doubtful which of us had
the greater admiration for the remark
able statesman in question—and Lord
Odo laughingly mentioned to me his
surprise when one day, after the din
ner bell of the embassy had been rung,
he found Lord Salisbury, who was liv
ing there, still busy at work in his
study.
“ ‘He rushed out,’ said the ambassa
dor, ‘and before I had time to put
aside the papers on the table, literally
in three minutes, was back again
ready for dinner. Now in that time
he could not even have washed his
hands, yet there he was in evening
clothes! I could not help asking him
how he managed to dress so quickly.
“Oh, my dear Russell,” he said, “any
one can change his coat at once, and I
had black trousers on already.” ’ ’’—

Presence of Mind.
“What did you learn at the school?”
the -oss asked the fair young appli
cant for the stenographer’s job.
“I learned,” she replied, “that spell

The boss chuckled.
“Good. Now let me hear you spell
essential.”
The fair girl hesitated for the frac
tion of a second.
“There are three ways,” she replied.
“Which do you prefer?”
And she got the job.
Terrifying Styles.
“The Gorgons were mythological
sisters, who had snakes for tresses in
stead of hair.”
“Gee,” muttered the high school
girl, “it must have been tough to have
to go out and gather a bunch of
snakes whenever you needed a few
extra puffs.”—Louisville Courier-Jour

she will.
HAD CONFIDENCE IN JANITOR
Landlady Knew to Whom to Apply
When She Wanted References
as to a Tenant.
Smith, just established in a new flat,
happened to discover that the land
lord—or landlady, rather—had not in
vestigated the references he had fur
nished, upon her very particular re
quest.
“Why didn’t you ask anybody about
me?” he asked.
“I did,” was the answer. “I asked
the janitor at your old place. I always
do that. After finding out from the
old landlord whether a tenant is good
pay, I make a personal call on the
janitor of the house he has been liv
ing in.”
“But are janitors always to be
trusted?”
"By no means. I can usually tell
whether a man is truthful. 1 use my
judgment in each case. It isn't hard
to guess whether he has been unduly
influenced by tips or the lack of them
Generally speaking, the janitor knows
the tenant better than anybody else,
and I prefer his estimate to that of the
friends and business associates whose
names are supplied as references."
saa spelling.
Children are taught to spell too
many words, says Frank W. Ballou
of the Massachusetts department of
educational investigation and measure
ment. He claims that it is foolish to
make a bluff at teaching them 15,000
words when they will never have use
for more than 2,100. He gets his
thunder against the mass of Words
from the fact that children in his
school examinations have spelled
which “wich" 115 times, substituted
there for “their” 98 times, and the re
verse 75 tinjes, separate "sepperate"
93 times, and so on through the list
of terrors. Still they may show im
provement as compared with the 500
candidates for high school teaching In
New York, more than thirty years ago,
who spelled Balaam 178 different ways.
But the Boston man is right. There
is too much "spelling'' in the abstract,
and not enough practice at spelling in
the list of words which may be of use
to the people later in life.—Worcester

he’ll leave it to a. worthier one than

Why Try to Fool
Your Stomach?
Some folks have an idea that if they eat big meals,
their brains and bodies will be strong.
Strength and energy don’t come from gorging
the stomach, but depend upon eating the right kind
of food.
For nourishment of brain and body, Nature
abundantly supplies in her field grains the elements
needed.
The famous wheat and barley food
Grape-Nuts
contains in splendid proportion all the nutriment of the
grains, retaining the mineral salts—phosphate of pot
ash, etc., stored under their outer coat, and which are
especially necessary for keeping brain, nerves and
muscle in working trim.
Grape-Nuts food is in the form of crisp, nut-like
granules — delicious with cream or good milk—easy to
digest—economical—
The perfect food for sound nourishment!
