OMIE women .discover, after experi- | S menting that a certain definite | style of hair dressing suits them bet- | tér than any other. When this dis- | covery has been made it is a istake ! to adopt every new idea ‘that comes | along, at the expense of becoming- | ness. - . L] The lady with serene, broad, low‘ brow and straight eyebrows may em- | phasize these gifts of naturé by a| coiffure like that portrayed in the low- | .er one of the three pictures given | here. It suits the character Ql"hex't face exactly, and suggests a serene | and beautiful personality.. Besides, it l is ‘a style that is good for. a _life-! time. - If Fashion' démands a high | coiﬁ'urq; shq;\ may vary 'the tq&range-i ment df the back hair, but px‘!;_eservei the front parting and uncoveredibrow,q with .small ‘change in the general ef fect. - Lt For the girl with a vivacious face, and narrow, high forehead, a good arrangement of the hair-is shown in th figure at the right hand. ‘A soft po‘nz | padour of loosely waved vhéx;r held iﬁl place by a support, if neetted, in-the

PLACING OF THE BUTTONHOLE Highly Important to' the Neatness and Trimness of Garment—How They Should Be Pressed. . . Buttonholes to look well should be placed a quarter of an inch from the edge. and crosswise of the material. © Do not cut more than one hole at a time. Cut and work each-one as you proceed.

They seem to belong to the scheme of \things here. Satin veiled with chiffon, til;i}' laces and pale elusive ‘co}ors suggést them. Amber and jet one sees everywhere on the strest. Amethyst beads, in short strands, are worn as-thershort strands of amber beads ‘am‘ff'on any occasion the wearer Mmay chocse. e Besides' t-l{e.se familiar beads there are others which are becoming familiar 'rapidly enough. Among them the most striking is the vivid scarlet bead of ‘opaque cut glass which is worn with visiting gowns or evening dreés.v It will look well with linen dressés in “white "or natural color, or in the half blezched tones. Thgvariety is a new-comer and is gaining ground as & -promising ngiveliy. e

shape of a small hair roli, allows the hair to be brought dowd” over the forehead at the sides. The back hair may. be placed anywhere; in a coil at the crown of the head, as shown in the -picture; at the nape of the neck, or on top of the head, without changing the becomingness of the-coiffure. Nearly all youthful faces, of what. ever type, find the coiffure parted at the side a becoming arrangement for the hair. . It is shown in the left hand picture adorned with a bair ornament for evening wear.| The style is so plain that it needs ithe addition of an ornamental band, or two bands in the Greek fashion, at any time. Also, it is next to _f-?'npossible to keep the hair in position at the front without the aid of these bands or ornaments. No support can be, worn under.the hair in this style, and the natural Lair is, like its owner, “prone to wander.” 5 Smull supports of various shapes are really essential to successful hairdressing, except when nature has been exceptionally bountiful in the matter of a natural gl;r‘wt_h of hair. » JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

The strawy stalky manure makes an ideal ‘mulching fertilizer for both young and old apple trees. A great many are literally dying from starvation. - This coarse manure will conserve moisture and fertility. - w W i . To keep poultry healthy give plenty of exercise, good comfortable houses, a variety of- good wholesome food and plenty of pure fresh water and fresh air. Grit, charcoal, shell and freedom from lice can be added to the list. % * * Fowls do not thrive during the win‘: ter unless they have some green feed. The natural food of domestic fowls is that which they pick up oxf range, and if suddenly deprived of it, both as to green vegetable matter and meat in ‘the form of bugs and worms, the evil effect is quickly seen. v * » *® | : If you will use your brains in farming you will live longer than if you adopt the motto, “As our fathers did so do we.” - Brains differ radically from soils. The more you sgll from the soil the greater the exhaustion. The more you work the soil without replacing in a less valuable form what you take away the less real soil you have left. The more you work your brain the more brain you have. That'’s the difference. : G axma ® : - Ov 7 Péach trees thrive {n almost any soll if they are givan good cultivation.
