Fifty years ago women were eternally
prating Of mems heads. A man must have
fine head. But to-day all is C anged. He
may be psncil-hesded, and have the hands
OF smithy, provided his legs are straight,
strong and shapely.

A young woman, says the New York
Sun, who had half a dozen times either
mslaid or been robbed Of her best umbrella
nnaliy concluded to try an original way OF
keeping it. She had new ons made and
mounted on an ivory topped stick. Then
she had the heavy piece Of ivory carved
into an excellent counterpart OF her own
iead and face. No one looking at the
biz OF ivory work for an instant could
mistake the likeness between the owner
and the head on the handle. Her
friends predicted that the beauty Of tn
handle would only add to the induoement
20 steal, for the head and face were exceed
ingly beautiful, and the shrewd young
woman knew perfectly well that they were
when she ordered it. But the strange part
OF it was that it did not. For six years the
owner has carried that umbrella, through
rain or shine, having new cover put on
when necessary, aud only once has sh,
missed 1t. That time she left it standing in
q shop, and before she had made the rounds
Of the place a polite. floor walker had re,
turned it to her with a smile.
We are often asked, What color shall |
wear9 To the fair blonde, says the New
York Sun, the most favorable color is
green, delicate green, and to her alone be-
longs that shade. Blue is also a good selec-
ton for her, and if she wishes TO have a
st liking evening gown this winter let it be
a combination of pale blue and canary vel
low. Orange and red should be avoided by
this type of blonde. The brown haired
blonde is most fortunate. She rarely makes
a mistake in the selection of colors, since
her complexion not being delicate she has
more freedom. Like the fair blonde, green
viii improve her complexion, but it must
be olive green. Gray will be pretty for her
il her color increases with excitement,
while fawn color, so suitable for the fair
Jlonde, will almost make the rosy blonde
look sallow. Blue, both dark and light,
gives an agreeable tint Co the complexion.
The bru cite with the pale or sallow skin
should avoid neutral shades, since her
greatest beauty comes from the law OF con
trast White can be universally worn.
White flowers or feathers become every
woman.
