HAIRDRESSERS SAY: I Harsh, wiry materials have touchy Here are som« of the tricks the personalities. They are not particul-j best hairdressing parlors use to make 'arly friendly to the stout woman or their clients' hair luxuriant. I the woman with the plain face. Individual comb and brush is the Organdie, while it is delightful in first rule. If you are a regular cus- itself, when made up bulges, makes tomer you have your own comb and flippant angie« and breezy curves that brush with your name taped on. If on^V youth and a pretty face can walk you're but an occasional visitor you off with successfully. Hard-twisted get a comb and brush out of the ^serges poke out too sharply for the •terilizing machine. This first rulo' stout woman or the painfully thin, is easy to apply at home. If you in- 1 A faille silk, habutai, basket-weave sist that each member of your family woolen, not too heavy, fine flannel and have his own brush there'll be no cotton broadcloth have more amiable danger of catching dandruff from chi.racter3. They will fall where you each other. You try to keep your bob smooth. You may even wear one of those bob- binette caps at night to preserve your aleek contour. The good hairdresser would brush your bob up the wrong way, hard and vigorously, for at least fifty strokes. This gives the hair ex- ercise and air and it will lie flat again when it is arranged. Another trick with bobbed hair is to touch the split ends with an oil tonic. The operator barely touches her fin- gers in ihe tonic and only lightly brushes them over the dry ends. If you like that inward curve, she puts her finger under the ends of your hair and brushes them in with a brush lightly dipped in the same tonic. When long hair is washed the good hairdresser doesn't scrimp cu sham- poo. Lavishly .sho pouri ic on. Four or five soapings are often used when the hair is particularly long or heavy. Just like clothes, hair washes easier with an abundance of soap. Watch an export dress your hair. She doesn't take it all in one lump and give it a quick twi.st. Even to make a simple knot at the top of the head she ties the hair firmly in place and divides it into several strands, arrang- ing each separately. Hairpins are not her ]>et economy. And, notice, she never puils the hairnet tight â€" just catches it liere and there with an in- visible pin. HOW want them and stay there. They are not so apt to advertise the fact that your hips are large, your shoulders broad or your chest flat. Bulky materials are friendly to all except the stout woman and the short | woman. Little women look as if they| are carrying such a load when they, have on a big coat of a thick, spongy, woolen. Thick goods actually add to! ono s size, and that is reason enough: for the stout woman to leave thera alone. Thin, transparent n aterials, chi?- fnr.s and georgetvs, if handled right- ly, are a blessing when it comes to veiling the too-thin or too-fat arm. But be sure you really veil thera. One thickness of very heavy chiffon may do it, but two are better. Certain materials look cool. They are the smooth ones â€" linen, cotton broadclotli, crisp organdie, mohair, habutai and silk shirtings. Linen isn't really cool, but there is a lot of it bought for .summer â€" just on its face value. On the other hand, woozy, spongy goods look warm. It is not pleasant to the eye when the thermometer is creeping upward. I want to tack on a little color note that I have jotted down for you. It] is flesh-pink, delicate flesh-pink. Even flannels are being made up in it. It is lovely in voile too, and is especially | becominar to the woman with gray hair, although even the flappers wear this light tint.â€" T, C. {'HAPTER XXII.â€" (Cont'd.) "I've no relations," s«id Miss Ab- bot. She was quiet now and calm, and hopeless. "And if I had I couldn't be a burden on them. Nobody wants a penniless, half-blind woman. I've had to use up all my savings this winter ... it will just have to be the workhouse." "But it shan't be," said Jean. "What's the use of me if I'm not to help? No. Don't stifl?en and look at me like that. I'm not offering you charity. Perhaps you may have hsard that I've been left a lot of money â€" in trust. It's your money as much as mine; if it's anybody's it's God's money. I felt I just couldn't pass your door this morning, and I spoke to you, though I was frightfully scaredâ€" you looked so stand-offish Now listen. All I've got to do is to send your name to my lawyer â€" he's in London, and he knows nothing about anybody in Priorsford, so yon needn't worry about him â€" and he will arrange that you get a sufficient in- come all your life. No. it isn't char- ity. You've fought hard all your life for others, and it's high time you got a rest. Every one should get a rest and a competency when they are sixty. (Not that you are nearly that, of course.) Some day that happy state of affairs will be. Now the kettle's almost boiling, and I'm going to make you a cup of tea. Where's the caddy?" There was a spoonful of tea in the caddy, but in the cupboard there was only the heel of a loaf â€" no butter, no cheese, no jam. "I'm at the end of my tether," Miss butter and marmalade and things, and then go for a walk along Tv/eed- side and let the wind blow on you, and then drop in and have a cup of tea and a gossip with one of the fricnd'j you've been neglecting lately, and you see- if you don't feel heaps better. . . . Remember nobody knows anything about this but you and me. I shan't even tell Mr. Macdonald. . . You will get papers and things to sign, I ex- pect, from the lawyer, and if you want anything explained you will come to The Rigs, won't you? Per- haps you would rather I didn't come here much. Good morning, Miss Ab- bot," and Jean went away. "For all the world," as Miss Abbot said to herself, "as if lifting folk from the^ miry clay and setting their feet on a. rock was all in the day's work." The days slipped away and March j came and David was home again; such a smart David in new clothes and (like Shakespeare's Town Clerk) "everything handsome about him." He immediately began to entice Jean into spending money. It was absurd, he said, to have no one but Mrs. M'Cosh: a smart housemaid must be got. "She would only worry Mrs. M'- Cosh," Jean protested, "and there isn't room for another maid, and I hate smart maids anyway. I like to help in the house myself." "But that's so absurd," said David, "with all your money. You should, enjoy life now." "Yes," said Jean meekly, "but smart maids wouldn't help me to â€" quite the opposite. . . .

LimUti, Toronto Village Where Nobody Dies. { Salecchio, a mountain village in Piedmont, Italy, has suddenly become famous, and crowds of people are i flocking there. It has been proclaimed I a place where nobody dies. No deaths | have occurred there during the past i three years. The Mayor of Salecchio performs the varied tasks of postman, Joiner, and bell-ringer. It la claimed that nobody drinks wine, nobody quarrels, and nobody steals at Salecchio, and that perfect harmony reigns among the inhabitants. Abbot admitted. "And unless I touch | get ideas into your head about smart- the money laid away for my rent, I ness, Davie.

Rigs we must be small plain people, and poked the bit of coal into a blaze. And I hope I shall live here all my "Now here's your ten" â€" she reached for her bag that lay on the table â€" "and here's some money to go on with. Oh, please don't let's go over it all again. Do, my dear, be reasonable." "I doubt it's charity," said poor Miss lifeâ€" and so that's that!" David, greatly exasperated, bound- ed from his chair the better to har- angue his sister. "Jean, anybody would think you were a hundred to hear you talk! Abbot, "but I cannot refuse. Indeed, You'll get nothing out of life except I don't seem to take it in. . . .

Tea merchants realize, however, that tea at a dollar a pound only brings the day of a drop In price so much nearer. Tea growers are making such tre- mendous profits that over-production is bound to come at any time. A COMFORTABLE OUTFIT FOR A "SMALL TOT." TO CHOOSE YOUR MATERIALS. The odd.? may be against you hav- ing a be(!oming dres.s even before you put your scissors in the goods. By its very texture a fabric may flatter you or be unkind. The weave gives it a certain character. Materials have as distinct personalities as colors. Materials with shiny surfaces are generally trying. It takes an almost perfect type of woman to wear them well. Slippery taffetas that reflect patches of liglit and (jla/.ed satins that glisten are just an conspicuous, even in black and dark tones, as brilliant refl is in a dull .'•oft goods. They at- tract attention to the proportions of the woman who is wearing them. They are downright unkind to the too-.stout or the too-thin woman. Dull crepe siiks that fall into graceful folds are easier to wear. in woo'iens, mohair has the same quality of reflecting light and holding the eye. Linen too, when il'.s washed, especially if it is starched, i.s what I f>00i'. Voilo, dimity, crepe, silk and call iirazen.

When I got up this morning there seemed to be a high wall in front of me, and I knew I had come to the end. I thought God had forgotten me." "Not a bit of it," said Jean. "Put away that money like a .sensible body, and I'll write to my lawyer to-day. And the next thing to do is to go with' me to an oculist, for your eyes may not be as bad as you think.

I I David explained that the term had been a very busy one, and that his ; time had been too much occupied for ! any outside woi-k, and Jean und^r- j stood that tha stimulus of poverty 'â-  having been removed David had fallen into easier ways.

"He'll have the face elt off I nie." said Jean, quoting the Irish R. M. . . . Richard Plantagenet hadn't minded her being old fashioned. (To be continued.) Average Wages of Farm Help in 1924.
