for their necessities.
Another item Of reduction of ex-
penses In the Fremont household Ia
not undeserving OF mention. "Con-

long been the constant companion
OF Mrs. Fremont on her pleasure
walks, has been sacrificed. His
aristocratic mouth was about as ex-
acting of food as q mans, and 1t
could not longer be supplied out Of
the lessened family stores. 1t was q

The Fashions in Hair.
There IL a French saying that If n
woman is well gloved and we'll shod
she Is we'll dressed, no matter what
may be the texture Of her gown.
This is all very well, but II she hap
pens not to have taken pains with
her hair, the boots and gloves are Of
little avail. A French woman Is
never neglectful Of her hair--not
even the most humble serving-maid,
and that Is one reason why she
bears out the reputation Of being of
all women in the world the most
chic.
But American ladies are quick to
follow the lead taken by the natty
Parisian, and If IL is the fashion In
France to put the hair on top of the
head, up II goes In thrice, and II
the decree were to shave 1t close to
the scalp, our DANES, like the sheep
In the fold, would follow the leader.
English styles, as rule, find but
little favor, and when Ellen Terry
cut her hair short, and half the
ladies In England did likewise, the
example was but little noticed here.
There is more difficulty In chang
ing the mode OF wearing the hair
than In accomplishing almost any
other whirl of fashions wheel. The
first time n lady appears with her
hair dressed low after she has been
wearing II high she startles all her
friends, and the verdict Is generally
against the innovation; therefore she
has usually little courage to make
the fret attempt.
The hair-dressers have been try
ing for the last few months to intro
duce fashion by which ladies
would require large supply of hair,
obviously to insure a greater patron
age In the sale Of false locks; but as
yet little headway has been made.
1t was about q year ago that we'll
known Partisan hair-dresser resolved
that the hair should be worn long
in the neck, Cadogan shape, and
gradually the fashion Is being
adopted here. To lady with a
long neck this style is especially be-
coming.
The lady with round face takes
better care of her good looks by
wearing her hair high. The ladies'
maids of most ladies Of fashion are
experienced hairdressers, but not
few capricious goddesses prefer to
Golf their own hair. Among these
Is Adelina Patti, who quickly and
expertly rolls up her auburn locks
into five becoming puffs on the
crown of her head, while the front
is mass of bewitching little ring
let's.
A lady with experience in hair
dressing arts asserts that those
women who have high foreheads
should display but little hair upon
the temples; those with low fore
heads should arrange loose curls on
the temples and keep the rest of the
hair back, and those with receding
foreheads and high cheek bones
should bring the hair forward In be-
coming frlzzes.
Mahogany colored hair is the
name of the shade now most FASH
ionable i'm Paris-the delicate blonde
color having been given up by all
except actresses. 1t is surprising to
know how many ladies' change the
color of their hair, and II Is only
vain woman who dyes her locks.
Alas! how many vain women there
are. If they could change the color
of their eyes doubtless they would
do 1t.
Ornaments for the hair consist
chiefly Of jeweled hairpins or
aigrettes. These are, of course. for
evening wear, and in the case of la
dies of wealth are extended even to
diadems aud magnificent tiaras.
The Why.
milwaukee wisconsin,
1t is pleasant thought to us all
that there are those to whom we
are dear; that there are those who,
whether present or absent, rejoice
with US when we rejoice and weep.
