No chance Is taken of behig separated from a 'bowler. ' That's what * the derby is called over there. And it's the same way with a top hat or a straw or a cnp. for that matter. "The American wears his hat lightly in comparison , and so do the people of southern continental Europe. The French , for example , have a penchant for hats that seem a bit too small for them. At any rate , their headgear doesn't appear to be very firmly fixed. It may be 1113 * fancy , but an Itali-m al ways impresses me as a bit uncom fortable in a hat.

It is in Paris thnt th v/hiskcr reaches its highest state of civilisation an-J development. The luxuriant ver dure on the Tact's of .some of Hie Pari sians v.'ho strut along the bor.U'vard every day can be eoii-nrt'l : lo nothing but the riot of venation in the trop ics. Every Parisian has whiskers much wliisliers if he can. but some vdiiskers at any rate. lie supplements nature's efforts with the best aids of the barber and trains and mures his hirsute appurtenances with anxious care. The Parisians spend hours on their beards and educate them into formal gardens , set pieces , shrubbery , terrace and vista effects. They ! uy out hair- scapes with them , arrange them in un dulating meadows and twine them on pergolas. There Is the long , spade con coction much sought by men with black beards , which consists of about n foot of hair cut square across the bottom and adds much glory to the wearer , for the whiskers always shine and glisten in the sun. There are side winders and pointed ones , the heart shaped and the curved , the Avaved and the plain. A man who can train his whiskers to grow in a new Avay is as much of a celebrity as a man Aviio Avrites a good poem or paints a good picture. Samuel G. Blythe in Every body's Magazine. Moonlirht. Many readers may not be aware of the fact that the full moou gives sev eral times more than twice the light of the half moon. They may be still more surprised to learn that the r.itio is approximately as nine to one. Pro fessor Joel Stebbins and F. C. llr.nvn , taking'aavantage of the extreme sensi tiveness to light of a seciiiii ! cell , meayurod the amount of light coming from the moon at differe-if p'.rises wi.h Ihe result above mentioned. The re i- son for the remarkable diiTcn-uce shown is to be found in the varying angles of re.'iection presented by the. roughened surface of our satellite to the sun. The moon brighter between first quarter and full than beUvevii full and last quaiter. The cause of this is evident in the more highly re flective character of that part of the moon which lies Avest of its meridian. An American Scholar's Work.

It is no ; easy to be severe with an atom of hu maniiy. : inl it see.us incredible thai such a small body can hold mucl strength of will , but it is nevurtheles. true that if a mother does not con quer her child when it is young she will have a most dillicult time before many mouths are past. Da by is apparently bom with the in stinct of getting what he wants ! crying. As a matter of fact , his little br.riu soon grasps the knowledge that screaming brings the thing which he desires or something else equally nice , and therefore he shouts lustily. .Most mothers worry when their little ones screw their faces Into paroxysms and regard the matter as serious and to be checked at once. So it is. but not b.v the method usually adopted. When a healthy baby cries he is ei ther uncomfortable for some physical reason or else he is displaying temper. If his cries do not j'ield to ordinary measures if is necessary to find out what causes the tears , and to accom plish this he should be subjected to the closest scrutiny to make sure that his clothes are not hurting and that he is not in pain. If neither of these reasons for weeping exists , then tem per io making the trouble , and the sooner he learns to control it the bet ter for all concerned. The manner of doing this depends eu- tirel- upon individual temperament , so that to lay down any rules is impossi ble. Sometimes when a. child Is nat urally gentle and yielding he will stop crying ia a few moments if he is en tirely ignored. When the shrieks and roars are ear splitting , baby should be put into a vacant room , made quite safe and comfortable and then left en tirely alone. For a time he will usu-il- ly scream hard , but after a bit the cries will subside. Not infrequently he will go to sleep. If he does not and be comes quiet he should be brought back Immediately to his accustomed place. If this rule of banishment Is followed every time there are unnecessary tears It is astonishing In how short a time an infant will discover that crying does him no good. Newest Girdls. Have you seen the newest sash gir die ? It Is made of narrow mips of ribbon or vehet and goes around the waist from the center of the front , crosses In the back , returns and ties a litlle to one side ii a knot , whence tlu eucls hang 1o the knees. It is a graceful style , but it will nev er suit women who show any rgns of becoming stout , for the lines in the front only accentuate the size of the hips. The girdles of this design are only appropriate to house gowns or to even ing dresses , but there is no reason why a girdle of the same kind in kid or leather should not be suitable for any costume. In any case they lit in with our mod ern life in a way that the Fatir.ia scarf could never do and during the present craze for drapery must without doubt have their day of popularity. The Wcmsn Who Never Grows Old. Keeping youthful doesn't mean pre tending one is twenty-five when one has passed forty , but it does mean re taining that brightness and freshness which are the < harm of youth and which every one realizes are the most delightful things in the world. Every one has her youth , and it is absolutely unnecessary to permit that youth , j-o far a" feelings are concerned , lo slip away. There is no reason for it. If big troubles come it may sober spirits for a time , but this youthfui- ness is such a great thing that the con stant endeavor should be to gather it up again , just as one would a cloak that a gust of cold , bitter wind had blown uu : .ii-teied. Voutliful spirits are half of beauty. Ilesolve lo keep 0:1 feeling yor.ng , and you will look young. The Attic Room. Paper the room with white and blue striped paper and omit a border effect. Put blue and white matting on the floor and hang white dotted swiss cur tains at the windows. Trim the white iron bed in white and blue organdie and make chair pillows of the same material. Frame pictures in passe partout , using glass 8 by 10 Inches square , and use binding the same color as the wall paper. This will make a clean , dainty looking room. Removing Lines From Forehead. At night wash the forehead in hot water to soften the skin. Then with cold cream on the. linger tips rub along each line with a rotary motion , each stroke of which should smooth. This should be dune for ten minutes. Then , If liked , the s'uin may be stretched be tween the lingers to make it smooth , and while ? o held strips of plaster are applied in snh aay as t < > brace the surface , proveiitiug the lines from re maining dining ( ho niglit. Dry Cleaning Lace Curtams. It Is not always necessary to wash lace curtains , even when they arc dis colored with dust and smoke. Wash ing curtains certainly shortens their life , and very often a treatment with coi'nmeal will cleanse them .perfectly.

Cover thickly with corumeal. lay on another curtain an I at again cover with ( he meal. Co itlnuo se until all the curtains are covered with the meal. Then roll tip i-los-ely and lay away for a few days. When want ed , unroll , brush off the meal and Iw'u ) on the line In the wind and sun for half a da.y , n"d you will find that to when hung nt ( he windows they will or iook like new.
