to the rule In favor of tucked bosoms. There
b no monotony In the tucking , however ,
One pretty pale blue waist will have fifteen
flue tuclcs , forming on cither side In front a
pointed > eke , thus throwing considerable
fullness ovir the bust. Another bosom la
tucked In diamond shape , another laid In
perpcnd'rular ' plaits , wide or narrow and

of buttons ? tuds will be llttlo used , for

pearl buttons arc , at Intervals , sowed on
very close together. These properly do not
liold the fronts of thu shirt together at all ;
a serviceable underhand dies that , while
the pearl knobs are for decoration

question. It may as well bo alllrmcd licrr

H on account of Its ono slnstcr weakness
Instead , thosp with their hnlr , wear piettv
little mobs made of white cotton , because
next after black Bilk , whlto cotton Is the
greatest corrective of falling hnlr Some of
the whlto mobs are the most becoming llt
tlo head ornaments possible , with airy frills
of exquisite real lace and tufts of pnlo blue ,
pink , or lemon ribbon encircling the face
Women whose heads are abundnntl } cov
ered with beautiful hair weir these caps
enthusiastically , because they are so very
enhancing to beauty , oiid then because the
theory Is that a night cap worn In time ,
through jouth and middle-ago saves a
woman's hair In rich abundance as an orm-
mcnt for her declining } enrs.
Just ns potent In Us way Is the cap of
linen which Is rcAlly no more than a ket-
chlef to Mo over the head nt night and
serves to diminish any Increase In growth of
dandruff As a matter of fact , so say the
\vlso and experienced ones , a linen kerchief
If faithfully worn , will , In time , produce a
scalp whlto nnd sweet as the hnck ot one's
hand , and naturally the hnlr grown thereon
Is greatly Invigorated. Hut linen , silk , flan
nel , cotton , or whatever } ou chose , be sure
to hang It up every morning In the open
nlr , and do not wash It. The nlr Is all suf
ficient to keep It In a pioper state of whole-
sameness , and even If } ou don't believe that
a color or a special quality of goods has any
vlitue , don't lose fnlth In the night cap
Itself.
It docs keep the head warm at night , n
flannel cap does encourage a brisk circula
tion of blood through the -scalp , and you
will not only sleep more soundly nnd sweetly ,
but preserve } our looks longer and in bet
ter condition for this simplest of precau
tions.
