the New York winter season on behalf of
his wife, who, wherever else she may be

An observer in London writes that the
Grecian simplicity of hair dressing Is tyran-
nically the vogue. At operas and at thea

the hair of budding belle and bounding dow
ager are alike free from rolls, puffs, wads

winning and pretty one demurely rascaIly

Here a solemn warning to those young
ladies who are wont to bring otherwise
| harmless young men to the verge of despair

ronage of ice cream establishments. Such
conduct often produces temporary coolness
