A Barber Shop Fake.

FROM tue xNeU iOtH 4ftoWNe.
A curious feature of New York life,
which is increasing steadily, is the
presence of barbershops exclusively for
for women. The work doneIs, of course.
confined wholly to brushing, cleaning
and making up the hair. Many OF the
customers keep their w III INC
brushes too in the pigeon holes which
one sees filed with cups in a barber
shop for men. The barber and her
assistants are, of course, women, and
one of them was asked the other
day." How often should a woman
have her hair brushed?" Every
night and morning she ought to brush
it herself was the reply. MANY OF
them never brush it thoroughly at all,
and as for cleaning it, all they know
about it is to scour it once or twice a
veal with borax or ammonia,
as they would their kitch-
ems. This ruins the hair, yet they
know no better. Many fine lady goes
about with six months accumulation
of dirt on her head under a $25 bon
net, and would be Mortified to think
herself not as clean as she should be.
Women who know how to care for
their hair come here once a month tor
a dry shampoo to clean the scalp, and
once a month | clean their hair itself
with CASTLE soa and water, drying 1t
Immediately by spreading it over a
hot air register. The hair should have
air and sunlight too. / think the hair
of American women is becoming
and more scanty, while nearly all the
fine switches and wigs of human hair
in the market come from the heads Of
the German and Swiss peasant girls,
who work bare headed in the fields,
and whose tresses are SO long and

Sweet innings in Dress.


A pretty frock of lettuce green
China silk, just made for a girl of ten,
had a dozen rows of narrow maize
colored ribbon stitched on above the
hem of the accordion pleated skirt.
The green zouave jacket, which was
worn over a maize silk blouse, was
also trimmed with ribbon of that
color.
A pretty little girl from Jersey City
staying at Spring Lake wears occa-
sionally of an afternoon a sheer Swiss
muslin embroidered with sprigs, with
an embroidered edging as a finish
down the wide open front of the full
waist and skirt and around the but
ton. This is made over rose man
derine silk, which is accordion pleated
at the front opening. The elbow
sleeves are finished with a ruffie. A
broad sash of the silk is tied in a large
bow at the back.
A stylish walking suit for forenoon
wear for a girl of fourteen is one made
of cream and pink printed cambria,
with the waist gathered into a square
yoke of cream lace over pink zephyr;
a green sash is worn with this frock
and an open worked straw trimmed
with pink convolvuli.
A sweet little frock, worn on Friday
evening by one of the tiny tots dane
ing in the large drawing room of the
West End Hotel, at Long Branch, was
made of pale rose silk. 1t was cut in
the p%rincesse style, flowing from the
close standing collar to the edge OF
the skirt in the shape of a reversed V.
A ribbon of the same shade was
fastened at the waist at each side and
was tied across the underslip of white
pleated silk null and bell in front
with several loops and ends. The
short sleeves were pulled null.

From the Nele York Times.
A movement has been started in
England to put an end, if possible, to
the custom whichdemands that women
shall inconvenience and injure them
selves physically by arraying them
selves in mourning whenever a mem
Der of their family dies. Lady Harber-
ton Is the leader in this crusade OF
common sense, and she has recently
set forth very clearly, in an article i'll
the Woman;S World, why mourning
costumes, asthey are now worn, should
be abandoned by every sensible
woman. Lady Harberton bases her
argument principally on aplea for the
health of women. She points out that
while the dress of a woman is not cal
culated at its bestto improve h ply
steal condition of the wearer, the dress
of a widow possesses every bad and
unhygienic quality of the ordl-
nary female apparel intensified
fourfold. 1t is always made extra
long and clinging, so that
proper exercise is out OF the question.
1t is usually very heavy and is sur
mounted by a very heavy species OF
headdress furnished with one or two
long streamers hanging almlessly
down behind, which l. neither at
tractive in themselves nor conducive
to the comfort of the unfortunate
wearer. This headdress, the pecu-
liarly Objectionable feature of which
is the long, heavy veil which custom
DEGREES that every widow shall wear,
is the worst feature OF the mourning
costume, both from a hygienic point
of view and with reference to the dis
comforts which arise from 1t, especi-
ally in the warm season. The heavy
clinging black dress is e~ndur&ble, un-
healthy as it is, because its weight
falls on a part of the body calculated
to sustain it. The veil which trails
behind the young widows head is a
very different affair. 1t is constantly
dragging the head backward and
downward, and if worn long at a time
results inevitably in a headache.

Inness win Have His Child.

Counsellor Corbin applied to Chancellor
McGin this morning for a writ of habeas
corpus on behalf of Charles X. Inness,
who keeps a small cigar store at the cor
ner of Montgomery and Van Worst streets.
Inness wants possession of his little girl.
About two months ago his wife was given
an absolute divorce from him IN award
ed the custody of their daughter.
His wife died before her lawyers had an
opportunity to enter the decree of divorce,
and since her death the child has been
living with its grandparents. Inness as
sole surviving parent set up his claim for
possession of the child. No opposition
was made to the application and Inness
will have the child.

Organization Always Wins.
From the Summit Record.

Our Gubernatorial election will soon
be upon us, and it is time now for the
leaders of the Democratic masses in
the several districts to be awake
Each district in the State should be
systematically and carefully canvassed
by capable mel and the political lean
ing of every voter a~scertained. BY
such measures, early adopted, the weak
districts in each county would be
known, and the united efforts of the
local as well as the general organiza-
lions could be directed to such dis
trict and, we think, to a final success.
Let Union county take the lead.

Bring It to Hudson County.

~
The primary questions regarding the
celebration of1892 having been settled,
a third and very interesting one comes
up. 1t is now practically certain tnat
there is to be a great International
Exposition, and that it is to be held IN
New York or the immediate vicinity;
but the precise spot where it shall be
located is now the disputed point.
If room could be found upon Man
haitian Island, we imagine the contro-
versy would be at an end. But unless
some portion of Central Park We're
sacrificed to it, it is hard to see where
space could be stolen from the crowd
ing structures which eat up blocks at
the rate of scores each year. 1t IS pos
sible that above 125th street a suitable
area might be found, but something
would then be wanting in respect TO
facility of access, for that portion o
the island is hardly reached by thee
West Side 81" structure, all other
means of reaching it from down town
being practically absent.
The great advantage of the Phila-
delphia Exposition site was that the
Pennsylvania Railway, which brought
by far the greater number of visitors
to it, was able to locate a station close
by the Exposition buildings-an in
calculable advantage to persons who
had only a limited time at their dis
posal.
Outside of Manhattan Island, it is
possible to locate the Exposition ON
Long Island, in the so-called Annexed
District of New York, or somewhere
in Hudson county. The objections to
Long Island on the score of general
inaccessibility are almost unanswer-
able. 1t is along way from New York
City Hall to any available portion OF
Brooklyn, where of course the site
would be if it were taken beyond the
East River.
The Annexed District would be ex-
ceedingly convenient for visitors
arriving from the East or by way of
the New York Central; but for all
others it would be dreadfully incon-
venient-almost hopelessly so, even for
residents of the lower part of New
York City.
There remains Hudson county, in
which twenty suitable locations might
be found. If the Exposition were sit
uated here it would be possible for all
the great railways in the country, ex-
cept the Eastern lines, to disembark
their passengers right at its gates.
Even the New York Central, through
its tributary, the West Shore, could
participate in this advantage. The
numerous ferries afford ample facili-
ties for visitors from New York,
Brooklyn and the East. Assuredly
some portion of the land above Hobo
ken, between the Palisades and the
river, would be the ideal spot, both for
picturesqueness and convenience, ON
which to locate the great display.
We commend this idea to those who
are furthering the work.

spectators. Taking the country as a
whole, and remembering that from
here westward every vacant city lot is
the e of a Sunday game, it would
not be exaggeration to state that
500, 900 persons were directly concerned
in breaking the peace of the sacred
day by this means alone.

PASTOR BLIGHT admonished the
congregation which heard him, yester-
day, of the need of moderation in the
matter of summer vacations. By the
way, Mr.. Blight is a shining example
of moderation himself, for he says that
he expects to be in his pulpit every
Sunday but one this summer, and yet
will not forego the healthful recreation
which the season makes possible.

THE boilermakers of the Tidewater
Oil Company were out on a strike.
They believed that their hours of
labor were not what they should be.
The company didn't agree with them.
Perhaps there was some hard
feeling; it would have been only
natural. Yesterday two build
ings belonging to the company
caught fire. The strikers might have
been glad of it. They might have
been, but they weren't. Instead of
standing around watching the flames
idly, they got inside the gates-asmany
of them as the misguided Waterman
would let inland worked like troop
ers in the hot sun and the face of the
fire. When the fire was subdued they
went out again. They didn't belong
there. They were on a strike. This
was one of the best sermons of yester-
daV.

This paper Is Democratic TN principles

Disunion and Reunion.

1t is not easy to understand pre-
cisely why both of the Democratic
County organizations are wrathy at
the idea that an attempt had been
made by omeone to ecu a recon-
Citation between them. 1t may be.
impossible that such a reconciliation
should take place; there may even be
good reason why one side OF the other
should refuse to make concessions;
but why anyone should be ashamed
or angry over IN attempt to secure
peace, we cannot understand.
Party disunion is a most regrettable
thing. 1t is always a mistake, and
sometimes a crime. Certainly a heavy
burden always falls upon those who
leave a party, thus imperill ing
the success of it's principles, and only
the most extraordinary circumstances
will justify such a curse. In parties,
as in the country at large, the major
ity rules, and the fact that any group
of men or set of ideas is in the as
cendant is strong proof that the men
or the ideas have the confidence of
the majority of the party. This being
the case, secession is at best a weak
expedient, while it may become a
guilty one. Nothing short of out
rageous excuses on the part of a
ruling element can ever justify it.
We believe that there has
been no adequate justification for
the revolt in our local Democ-
racy. The measures which have
most largely contributed to the
revolt against the regular organization
had the approval not alone of a ma
jority of the Democracy, but of the
whole people. The opposition, in
fact, has been mainly animated by
pure selfislln sss.
Under these circumstances an affee-
tation of wrath at a movement
towards harmony seems particularly
~unbecoming. 1t appears to indicate
that instead of the leadership to
which they object, the chiefs of the
revolt have determined to set up a
bossism of their own, or perish in the
attempt.
On the other hand, we do not see why
the regular organization should be in a
hurry to deny that it had been gener-
Gus. If a movement toward reunion
came from its ranks, that would be an
indication of a magnanimous spirit of
regard for the best interests of Democ-
racy, which would help it much more
than hurt it with rejecting people.
