I'm WAR TIMES.

Some of the PrivatiOns Which
Southern People Had TO Endure.
David Dodge in the Atlantic.
Coffee had been almost tho sole table bev-
erage of the South, and no privation caused
more actual discomfort among the people
at large than the want of it. There was
nothing for which they strove so eagerly
and increasingly to procure a substitute
Few indeed were the substances which
did not first and last find their way into the
coffee pot. Wheat, rye. corn, sweet pota-
toes. peanuts, dandelion seed, okra seed,
persimmon seed, melon seed, are but few
of the substitutes which had their turn and
their day. "A fig for the difference be-
tween Rio and rye" said the wits.
The dearth of leather also drove the peo-
pie to all sorts of grotesque expedients.
Sole leather especially, owing to the diff
Guilty which the small tanneries expert
enced in its production, was extremely
scarce.
Wood, which had long been worn to a
very limited extent by the slaves in some
localities, now came into general use in the
making of Shoes A wooden shoe was
among the very first inventions patented
under the Confederate government.
In the beginning a considerable variety of
shapes prevailed. Some could do no better
than dig out rude wooden receptacle for
the foot, travesty on the sabot worn by
the French peasants; strip of leather be-
ing attached to the top, by means of which
the clog was secured to the ankle.

BANGS, FR1NGEs AND puFFs.
The Prevailing Styles of Wearing
the Hair at Different Resorts.

the Efa1r AT Dlfferent Resorts
1--WE cannot wear our hair in the same
fashion here as we did in town. 1t
wouldn't do, you know" said a pretty
belle at Long Branch the other day. "You
see, everybody goes in bathing here ana
so curled bangs are almost an imposSbilitJ
except at late ball, and then if you
promenade on the piazza the sea air will
probably take all the curl out. So we girls
wear straight bang and our hair combed
high and coled. 1t may not be so very
becoming, but it saves considerable trouble
and you are not always in an agony about
your front hair"
At Newport and Bar Harbor the hair
is worn much the same. 1t is arranged
in two braids coiled at the back of the head
and fastened with numerous little bone
hairpins. The coil is not low enough to
make the neck warm or too high for beauty.
The front hair is often worn perfectly
plain, or with a delicate fringe about an
inch and a half in the center of the fore
head and shortening to an inch on each
temple. With the sailor hats and high
collars, the plain close fitting morning dress
and ties this style of hair-dreSSipg is elm
inently becoming and with the clear rosy
compilations gives the wearers a decidedly
English appearance.
Saratoga is perfectly lovely place for
the hair" said belle who came to town
few days ago. to do little shopping.
The air is SO dry that the curl
stays in all day long, and some
times two or three. Most of the young la
dies wear their hair as do mine, in French
coil, with puff or roll on top, a curIed
bang, and little curs on the nape of the
neck. 1t is the most becoming way, and
gives a soft and pretty appearance to al
most any face. Some of the girls, though,
prefer the Newport style, just for fashions
sake, although do not admire it.
At the White Sulphur Springs. in West
Virginia. curls are in favor, and straight
bang is almost unheard Of
Either wear the hair brushed smooth OF
initiate natural curls on the forehead says
leader of fashion there ''Those straight
fringeS are an abomination, and no girl Of
pride will wear Them"

dresses were in not one instance immOdest,
and there was nothing that could have
shocked the most rigid moralist The girls
who swan for the most part gracefully, and
whose locks 'incarnadined the multitudin-
GUS SEAS" kept as much as possible by
themselves, and those who sat in their
bathing-suits on benches along the edge of
the boardwalk to allow the sun to dry their
long hair, which they pulled down over
their faces, paid strict attention to the dry
ing business only: The scene in no way
bore out the highly-colored pictures that
have been drawn of it, and the visitors
were discussing the eXaggerationS of former
delineatOrs when suddenly placards posted
conspicuously on the bathing-houses met
their eye. One of these read: ''Modesty
is as becoming to woman in bathing
dress as in silks and satns. A word to the
wise is sufficient" A second ran as fol7
lows: For the sake of example, all respect
table people are requested to discountenance
the practices of the sexes in
assuming attitudes on the sand
that would be considered i'm
moral at their city homes or elsewhere. If
this rule is not observed it becomes the duty
OF the police to serve small card on the
OFFENDING persons, and if the thing is re-
peated the offender must be ordered
from the beach," The existence and
conspicuous posting of these rules
argued the presence at Asbury park of
state of things very different from that
presented by the scene of the morning. A
venerable and dignihed darky who ap-
preached was Intercepted as to the result
if any persons did not take heed to the
small card when served upon them as pro-
vided by the second regulation. EFF they
persists in dere wickednnss," he answered,
1.-The perlice runs them in suah." But
suppose visitors come here and do not mis-
behave, but by mistake are served with
these cards." specs they've got to suffer
wild de guilty. Pears like anybody comes
here must obey regulations" So spoke this
believer in the feudal character of Asbury
park and departed.
After bathing all tried their weight and
it was most amusing to see two girl friends,
one weighing upwards of 200 and the other
who scarcely tipped the beam at 100. ex-
change smiling congratulations on the ben
eft derived from the sea air. The day wore
