To Keep Dust from the Hair. .
Even if one is merely engaged in dusfr ing an overmantel and polishing the chiui thereon, one's hair is "apt to get extre-' mely dusty, and it is quite impossible t« keep it free from dust unless it can b« covered up. The easiest way to do thia k to get a yard of ribbon, of. .any colour you choose, and three-quarters of a yard of Indian silk to match.- Foil the silk on the ribbon in front, and then cross the end of the ribbon under the hair, and tie over the drapery at the back. This plan will effectively prevent any dust 1 reaching the hair, and) will not be "heavy enough to disarrange the- coiffure. Should an unexpected visitor arrive, it will not by any means be so unbecoming as you might imagine. Only you must not make it too becoming by allowing your fringe to escape in the front^ or you will have to pay the penalty. These little dinting cats are very inexpensive to make, and should sell well at a,, bazaar in the hands of a good saleswoman, who knows how to explain what are the advantages of possessing one.
