Most women appear it their best lu evening attire and make special effort to select a becoming oiffure. The French are past masters in the rt of arranging the hair, and their coiffures are at present of Grecian simplicity. The hair la drawn back over the forehead in soft waves, and the back tresses are coiled in a Gre- ian knot or a figure 8. Another fa vorite coiffure resembles that of the Empress Josephine at the time of her orouation. The hair is dressed low over the forehead, and soft ringlets fall about the ears and brow. The back hair is arranged close to the bend, and a fillet of jewels is worn well over the forehead. Another arrangement much approv ed is obtained in this manner: The linlr is softly waved and drawn bnck over the forehead in a low pompadour. At the back, starting at the nape of the neck, the hair is rolled tightly, fol lowing the contour of the head to the crown. On each cheek a question mnrk is formed with a slender strand of hair. These are moistened with ;ura arable to bold their position flat against the cheek. A ring of hair may be fastened to the cheek in the same manner. For the more conservative a single small curl con be formed at each side of the face. Many smart women are favoring the low pompadour, surmounted by a high Psyche. Frequently these are orna mented with pins or fancy combs. Any variety of coiffure, if it is high and leaves the ears exposed, la correct At present pins and combs and orna ments for the hair are important Hairpins in gray and gold and bronze and brown come in small pack- Beetles Dance .Holtz know the truth if their heart's desire 11.- Holmes, Helen Moyer and Clarence Holmes.

From that moment its, cruel work goes forward swiftly, and, ,by the third day the child's precious sight is gone forever. It has been known for more than twentyrfive years that this disease is 'preventa ble, but this knowledge has been kev almost exclusively as the possession of physicians. No attempt has been made until recently to educate the people about Its cause and the rem edy to be applied. Physicians them selves have been criminally carejess in this matter. However, they are waking up to their responsibility The child-loving people of the world have sounded the alarm, and a deter mined fight is beginning to put an end to this appalling waste of human faculties. A number of states and societies are directing their attention to th prevention of infantile blindness They are distributing literature on the subject and supplying the sliver nitrate solution free, with printed directions how to use it. Massachu setts Is making a state-wide effort to stamp out ophthalmia neontorum The Sage Foundation is also doing splendid work, collecting valuable in formation about this disease,, getting Several of the leading states will have special days this year.

"Home, Sweet Home" was being sung for the first time Just 91 years ago. The song came from the oper atic stage. Its author, John Howard Payne, posed as a dramatic critic in New York when he was only 1 4 years of age; before maturity he was suc eeasfal on the stage; then came 20 years of varying success abroad as actor, manager and playdrlght. Pressed for funds, he sold the opera "Clarl" for 1250. In this was "Home, Sweet Home." Payne had written It, recalling his early cottage heme at East Hampton, N. Y. The opera bad a phenomenal run and the Rons brought a fortune to its publish era. Payne never received another cent from It. He later became United States consul at Tunis, where he died.
