Modish Coiffures
UANTITIES of puffs and curls,
and all sorts of little head
dresses, continue to mark the
Q
coiffure of milady of fashion when she
prepares to do honor to a state occa
sion, or to dress with dignity. This
elaboration In hair dressing is very
becoming In the majority of cases,
and those women who have once tried
It realize the charm of it. Only the
grand beauty may turn her back upon
careful arrangement of the hair and
■till be as attractive as her artfully
groomed sister who knows the fas
cination of soft curls and smooth
puffs.
Unless one has plenty of time and
seme one to help out, the natural hair
can hardly be arranged In the man
ner shown In the illustrations. No
matter how generous nature may
have been, puffs and curls are, as a
rule, pinned on. Mere man may long
to believe them growing on the head
of her he admires, but when the
knowledge dawns on him that they do
not, be still confesses to their fascina
tion.
Not everyone can accomplish a suc
cessful colfTure either simple or com
plex, and It Is therefore a good plan
to decide upon a becoming model,
Just as one decides upon a becoming
hat. When so much progress has
been made, the next step takes one to
the hairdressing establishment with
FOR LITTLE MAIDS.
New models of cheviot and Hen
rietta cloth for little maids of six.
Dressing for Work.
In the food and raiment brigade,
the "do-your-own-work" mothers have
a hard time keeping themselves pre
sentable In the eyes of their families.
They must wear faded things some
times, and they cannot spare much
of the early morning time for beauti
fying. Still It is possible for the
houseworkerß to don one accessory
that never falls to freshen and im
prove the toilet. Thiß is a plain white
collar, which costs nothing and re
quires only a moment to adjust.
When the career of white shirtwaists
Is ended, front plaits, tucked lengths
and those of insertion should be cut
out, leaving sufficient plain material
to hem over the upper edge, so as to
avoid scratching the neck. They
should be two incheß in wjdth and
tb« neck length.
Trimming at the Neck.
Pur is never used around the neck
of an evening gown, which always
• blends as closely as possible with the
lines of the shoulders.
If trimming is added at all it is in
flat bands and flesh-colored tulle or
chiffon is often laid in around the
decollctage to soften the dividing line
between hair, flesh and fabric.
instructions to the hairdresser to copy
the model. If time is precious the
coiffure may be manufactured and
simply pinned on. But the lady of
leisure may achieve her coiffure by
having her own hair curled and
puffed. This undertaking is much
more difficult than that of pinning on
the made coiffure.
Bands, decorated with embroideries
and gorgeous with gold and jewels,
predominate in hair ornaments.
There are many other decorations,
however, most of them designed to
glitter or twinkle in the lights that
shine by night. A plain ribbon or
velvet band, finished with a bow and
the shell barrette are favorites for day i
wear. No one should neglect to no
tice the little fringe of curls that
nestle about the neck in many of the
new styles. A curlless coiffure is
hardly to be found, but the curls are
placed wherever they will do the most
good—that Is, wherever they are
found to be most effective in en
hancing the beauty or the style of
their wearer.
In the matter of the coiffure every
woman should lay to her heart that
French adnge which runs: “There is
nothing so beautiful as care.” Care
ful hairdressing works wonders and
in itself is immensely attractive.

MANICURING DONE AT HOME
Few Implements Needed, the Chief
Thing Being Constant Care and
Attention.
You can train yourself to be your
own manicure; there is no need to
buy a book on the subject, nor is an
elaborately-fitted manicure case nec
essary.
Four implements suffice, and in fact
three are all that are absolutely re
quired—a pair of nail scissors, a nail
file and a chamois-covered polisher
will answer all purposes, but an or
ange stick may be added for keeping
the cuticle or scarf-skin, back from the
nail.
The nails should be kept just the
length of the fingers and trimmed in
an oval curve. After trimming the
nails, push the scarf-skin down close
ly aLout the base, so that the lunula
—commonly called the "half moon”—
shows distinctly.
If the nails have been neglected, it
will take time and patience to get
them right; but a few weeks’ attention
daily will accomplish wonders. If the
Bcarf-skin has grown upon the nail, do
not trim It off, but push it carefully
buck, using the rounded tip of the file:
If necessary, lift the skin from the
nail, but avoid breaking It. A little
polishing powder may be used once or
twice a week and a light rubbing with
the chamois polisher every day gives
the finishing touch to manicuring.
Modish Evening Frocks.
One may be smart and well gowned
this season without a great outlay of
money, though a large percentage of
the gowns for evening wear are of ex
treme elegance and of a startling
price, thanks to the exquisite materi
als used and the beautiful embroider
ies so lavishly set upon diaphanous
tulles, chiffons, etc.
Provided one achieves tho correct
lines in an evening frock and is know
ing in tho matter of color one may
eliminate all elaboration and go In for
most pronounced simplicity.
Smart Millinery.
The trig little three-cornered hat so
popular last season seems to have
appeared again. Women should re*
Joice at this, for the shape is univer
sally becoming.
It is modified and changed a little,
of course, but in general outline It
gives the same effect
HOME OF A SEERESS
Where Mother Shipton, the Noted
Prophetess, Lived.
Story of Her Birth and Scope of Her
Remarkable Prophecies—Foretold
the Automobile and the Fly
ing Machine.
London. The little village of
Knaresborough in Yorkshire, is local
ly celebrated as the native place of
Mother Shipton, the seeress, although
the guide books do not mention that
It is her birthplace.
The house In which was born the
remarkable old woman who foretold
the flying machine, the wireless tele
graph, the automobile and such lat
ter-day wonders nearly four centuries
before their introduction, is no long
er standing.
There is a reminder of the prophet
ess in the village, however, In the
form of a curious well, known as the
Dropping well, near which stood the
cottage in which she was born.
Near the well is a cave, known as
Mother Shlpton’s cave, and in the Im
mediate neighborhood is an inn called
the Mother Shipton hotel. The well
and cave are the stock In trade of
the inn, whose proprietor makes
much of these valued properties.
In front of the inn is a sign, said
to be 200 years old. It bears on a
copper plate, a portrait of a witch-
Ilke dame, with hood, basket, cat and
Mother Bhipton Inn.
stick, and the legend: “Mother Ship
ton. Near this petryfying well, I first
drew breath as records tell." This be
ing In the familiar doggerel of the
prophecies.
The hotel keeper, gaging properly
the widespread interest felt in Mother
Shipton, has issued a volume of con
venient size containing a sketch of
her life, as well as her leading proph
ecies and their interpretation. This
he sells to his visitors at 4 cents a
copy. The title of the book Is "The
Life and Prophecies of Ursula Son
theil, better known as Mother Ship
ton."
According to the text, many and
varied accounts have been published
of the life of Mother Shipton. She
was the child of an orphan girl named
Agatlia Sontheil, who lived near
the dropping well. Agatha was
born about 1472, or 20 years before
the discovery of America. Her child
was misshapen. The date of her birth |
Is set at July, 1488. After the child’s
birth—it was named Ursula—the
mother retired to a convent.
Ursula Sontheil grew into an unusu
ally keen girl, though she was far
from lovely, being of indifferent Hize,
with large bones, crooked limbs, long
nose and goggling eyes.
Her mental powers were first no
ticed by her ability as a youthful
scholar. She was said also to have
had a peculiar power over her school
fellows, and ability to pull their hair,
pinch them and throw them to the
ground without being near them.
Ursula was neither so ugly in per
son nor so uncanny in mind that she
could not find a husband, and when
24* years old she married one Toby
Shipton of Shipton, near York.
Thenceforth she was known as
"Mother” Shipton. Her fame as a
prophetess was of gradual growth,
beginning locally, and extending
throughout England. Her first clients
were the neighborhood lassies who
wished solace or advice in matters of
the heart. After telling them as they
came whether lovers would be true
or false. Mother Shipton branched out
as a seeress in the broader affairs of
the nation, and finally of the entire
world, and counted among her clients
the nobility and high church digni
taries.
Through frequent repetition in tho
prints of the present time, her prophe
cies are familiar. Many of them re
lated to things that were to happen In
England, and did happen, such as the
accession of Queen Elizabeth and her
reign; the death of Mary queen of
Scots; the *>eat plague of London,
and the great fire; the various wars
of three centuries; the destruction of
the Spanish armada; the reign of
James I; the gunpowder plot; the
union In marriage of the royal houses
of England with those of German
blood and many other things.
The things of greater range foretold
by Mother Shipton were Sir Walter
Raleigh s discovery and transporta*
tlon to England of the tobacco plant
and the potato, the automobile, the
telegraph. Iron ships, tunnels under
water, the steam engine and many
other things that have come into the
world as Mother Shipton foretold.
BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR

habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting of druggists here to
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con
taining morphine or Its salts except
upon a doctor’s prescription.
The ordinance Is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board of
health who were instrumental In ob
taining Its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one of the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 90 per cent, of the victims of
drugs formed tho habit as a result of
using prescriptions given by physi
cians and only 8 per cent, from using
proprietary medicines.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED
"I have suffered from the same trou
ble (painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The first time of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, I asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The Inflamma
tion and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that I had to use a
poultice to Induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted In the
loss of the nail. I had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
“Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again I tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but It was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that I could not use It.
I began to use Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cutlcura
Ointment previously on my children’s
scalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but. I rubbed the
Cutlcura Ointment into the base of
tlie nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as I could. I had not
used It but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor inflam
mation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in effecting a
cure." (Signed) Mrs. I. J. Horton,

The great success of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak
lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on
the recognition of the fundamental truth that “Golden
Medical Discovery” supplies Nature with body-build* M
ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con- ■
denned and concentrated form. With this help Nature
supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest
food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering
obstinate coughs. The “Discovery” re-establishes the
digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies
and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in
abort establishes sound vigorous health.
