We thought we had the latest the j other day w hen we told of the society | women wearing wigs to match their I scarlet, purple, green and "midnight j, blue" costumes, but we did not. The •, very latest is "patriotic hair." The j newest and most daring of fads —the J flag wig. so-called because it is red.; ] white and blue, with stars for orna , ments. has become the rage in the so- j ciety set of New York. The picture shown to illustrate it. is a lady of the open mouth and receding chin type, j Her forehead was covered with the j \ wig but we Venture to believe that it 1 1 must also be of the receding type.

J“ C M ~ ’ | i HONOR THfelß PATRON SAINTS r i — Small Communities in England Cling : to Ceremonies That Are Many Centuries Old. Hawarden, the little town in Flintshire, North Wales, which was made 1 forever memorable as the residence ot i> W. E. Gladstone, recently celebrated t the festival of its patron saint atui j , I heavenly protector. St, Deinlot. Many J ! legends cluster about the name of this J saint, but Utile is definitely known j j about him. His name was given to I 11 1 the library which Mr, Gladstone estab ! j iished in Ha warden. The little Welsh | town, although now unimportant I j boasta of a great antiquity, and among j , Us relics of the past is the ruined cir , cular keep of the thirteenth centurj m castle, Hawarden castle, which was ; the seat of Mr. Gladstone, dates from j 1751. The first of December is the fes--2! tival of the saints of the isle of Rard•ey, off the coast of Carnarvon county. North Wales. This little islet was for centuries ■ center of Christian activ lty, and pilgrims from all over Wales gathered there on each first day of I December. Its soil was considered , | sacred, and its shrines were famous j i ! for miraculous cures of the sick and crippled. A farm on the mainland I opposite Bardsey still remains tithe j , free because its owner was anciently j L | charged with the expense of supplying j refreshment and rest for the weary ' j pilgrims. The worship of the saints j j of Bardsey has ail bnt disappeared ' among the modern descendants of the , I ancient Cambrians.

$1 STARTS YOUR SON AND DAUGHTER. |, We want the children to form good habits. People acquire good habits as easily as bad ones. But it is hard to convince some people of the fact, if we succeed in inculcating the habit of thrift upon the children we will not only give them a competency when they grow up, but we will have given them what is more—character and industry and thrift. We want our children to realize that they can no more build a fortune without the first dollar than they can build a house without the first brick. We want them to realize that a dollar in the bank it worth two in the pocket We want to teach them as they grow old enough to understand what money is, to make an invariable rule to get the daily habit of economizing. It matters little how small, if it is regular. The child will be delighted at the end of the year to see how much has been accumulated without being missed. Then as the years roll on and the habit of thrift becomes firmly fixed they will seize the opportunity that surely comes to every man and woman in life. Three per cent paid in our Savings Department
