hair must be controlled almost en-
tirely by the fashion.
1t will be considered by many of our
lady readers a necessity to dress the
hair in the fashion of the moment,
but we should endeavor to counter
act, by careful treatment. any iniuri-

the utmost freedom during the night.
All cannot employ artists to direct the
efforts of the hair dressing maid, but
every one can see to it that simplicity
and an appropriate ensemble are pre-

than to see a noble, dignifed face
marred and it's true beauty destroyed

Runs In the Family.
This runaway match of Admiral
Porter's grandniece is to a certain ex-
tent the result of heredity. The Por-
tiers have always been bold in their
love-making, and Commander David
Porter, who was, / think, the father
of Admiral Porter, bulldozed his
sweetheart's family into allowing him.
to marry his wife. Porter was a COM
mander at the time, and Miss Evelina
Anderson, the daughter of William
Anderson, a rich member OF Congress,
of Pennsylvania, was visiting at the
Navy Yard.
Evelina was only fifteen years old
and she was playing with a doll when
Commodore Porter met her. He fell
head over ears in love with her
and straightway proposed. She re-
ferred the matterto her father. though
she was perfectly willing herself. The
family, however, did not think much
of young Porter, and Miss Anderson's
brother, who was thought to bea very
brave young man, was deputed to re-
ceive him and give him his refusal.
When Porter called, he was received
by this young man in the parlor, and
was asked his business. Porter re-
piled that he had not come to see him.
that he wanted to see his father.
wllereupon the young brother jumped
and said:-"Well, sir, you've come
a fools GRAND. My father can't
see you, and you cannot marry my
sister or be connected with this
fanily.n
Commander Porter jumped from
his chair. His eyes flashed fire and
he stepped up toward young Ander-
son and said:-'Sir, you are meddling
in q matter that does not concern you.
l came here about marrying your sis
ter. l didn't come to marry you, and
d-n you if you don't leave the room
III throw you out of the window"
The young man was decidedly fright
eped and he went out and told his
father that Porter would cut every
body's throat if he didn't get the girl
in marriage. The result was that
father Anderson came in and got ac-
quainted with Porter. He liked him
and a week later he gave his consent
to the marriage. Upon their wedding
he gave the young couple a very
handsome residence on the banks of
the Delaware. and this is, I think.
still in.the family. Admiral Porter is
