And as we settled down to a steady - trot, 'Iwcuburg explained to me the movement then underway. The bulk of the German army iay at this 1 time between the Meuse aud the confluence of the Aire and the -Alsne rivers. .These two streams run In a generally northwest 'direction, and almost parallel, for some fifty miles, being nowhere more than ten -miles apart.- Between them, -and extend- ' tag for perhaps thirty miles, -lies the Forest Of Argonne, a rugged and densely wooded area, consisting inulnly of a single Hue of Irregular hills, varying in height, and end ing at the river Junction in a bold,, preclpi- ' tous headland. On the east the Aire, a ratber small but deep stream, has, lu the - course of its centuries of flow, cut sharply Into the hillside. On the west, the hills slope gradually to the Alsne, forming a pleasant valley, from one to three miles wide, and under a high state Of cultivation. At the foot of the hills a flue road winds northward, following generally ' the course of the river.

INCREASE IN FALSE HAIR. Where It Comes 'From and How It Is Handled Great Care Required. London Is the -point of distribution for most of thei false hair which finds its way into the market. Within the last-five years, it is stated, the wearing of false hair In one or other of the many artistic and olever forms in which-It is now offered has advanced by leaps and bounds. A conversation with one of the leading artificers In this line elicited many interesting facts. He acorns hair from -Chinese man or woman, deeming It - fit - only . for the eneapest and most common of fringes, transformations, etc. The markets he and other good . manufacturers of arti ficial hair frequent -are mainly inOer- raany. Austria, :Franaeand: Italy.

Bctd to relate, ' the '.hair merchants, -s ta class, have the reputation of ahatp, ' If not -actually dishonest dealings, and they -are so lacking In principle and sympathy that they Invariably elip r Id. 71 H , I .'

It -Is :nly tfrom convents that the entire hair of a woman's head ' can he had, -and ' the sale of the hair cut off -a nun!s 'head, when she takes the veil,-Is a valuable item in some convents' Incomes. Hair bought from the ordinary mer chant of the class described is more often than not fraudulently weighted with grease and dirty matter, and fre quently the purchaser loses about 30 per cent, before the hair is cleansed. The cost of thoroughly cleaning and working up this bought hair is enor mous, and as only skilled workers can do it, the seller of the made up article fmust make about 50 per cent, on the price he gave to the merchant before he realizes any profit. It may ease the minds of ladles wearing artificial hair to know that the cleaning of the hair is thorough and effectually de stroys any danger of disease from un healthy germs. Every hair has to be fastened in, with the root up and the point down, as it grows on the head, or it will not lie smooth And even. The exact shade has to be matched from many different lots of hair and length and texture have also to be studied. TURNS UP NOSE AT TmiES.
