What is a well-brcd Woman?

New YoRK, Jan. 22.-They are bringing
up the same old question again, about how
70 keep husbands. What in the world Is
the matter with the women2 Our grand
mothers didn't find it so difficult to keep
husbands, and there were no divorce laws
In order then, at least, it was not consid-
cred quite the thing to be divorced.
HOW TO KEEP A HUSBAND.
The very best method of keeping hus-
band is that famous one advised by
Punch" so many years ago, /. a., feed
the Brutes." | think that's where our
Rrandmothers had the pull; they under
stood more. thoroughly the value of good
feeding, so far MS men were concerned, and
the men got Ia have certain beautiful
pride in the products of their wives
Kitchens. Personally, there is q much
better chance of a woman who Is good
cook managing husband, than there is
Of one who is up In all the Greek declen-
sions. A. man is cross, tired and tagged
out he don't care how anybody adores
him in Greek, but chicken roasted to
term, potatoes that are mealy, a pudding
that is sweet and right and a cup of coffee
that is as black as the devil, strong as
Goliah and sweet as love- will make him
as gentle and as amiable as the proverbial
lamb. She who would rule man, must
frst understand how to manage the
Kitchen; and she who doesn't may retain

Tor much longer. So, you see, | agree
with Mr.. Du Maurier in believing that the
way TO manage man Is TO feed him well,
ACTRESSES WITH BEAUTIFUL HAIR.
Somebody started the question the other
day about those actresses, who did and did
not wear wigs on the stage, and the one
who had the most beautiful hair. Now, il
BY beautiful hair. you mean that the hair
Is long, glossy and fine, the palm for this

Godiva of old. could really wrap herself in
her tresses; when braided they reach TO
her knees; and when loosened they are far
beyond them, while in color they are that
pure Titan red that dye never attains.
With this beautiful hair Mrs. Carter has
that curiousiy pale complexion that goes
with II, and deep, dark, lustrous eyes.
The newspapers are fond of saying that
she looks like Sarah Bernhardt; but, Ger.
tainly, il is like the Bernhard Of 20 wears

DO many different colors.
MRS. LANaTRY's DYED TREssEs.
Three women with exceptionally beauti.
tui mar are Mrs. Kendall, Mrs. Langtry
and Jane Hading; curiously enough. each
one has golden-brown hair, and each one
is gwen to wearing it on the stage much as
: she wears 1t off, and to having that a very
simple style. Each one keeps a beautiful
gloss on her hair, and each one will tell
you that II is because she brushes il well. |
do not think that either Mrs Kendall or
Nine. Hading have ever had their hair
touched by any dye Mrs. Langtry did
once, when she saw the effect she said she
would give 500 pounds sterling to get il
back to its natural hue; she went to Paris
for this purpose, and they worked on her
mar there for one entire day; the next
morning she got up with HAIR of lovely,
deep mauve shade, but in time the famous
hair-dressers managed to get ii back to its
own glossy, brown, and the Jersey Lily
swore by all the other flowers that never
again would she interfere with the shade
OF hair that nature intended her to have.
PICTURE OF ADA REHAN.
should think that Ada Rehan always
wore wig, as sitting near her in a street
car noticed that her hair was striped like
the tiger, and she had evidently expert
mented with many different dyes. BY
the-by, speaking of Ada Rehan, heard Of
funny picture of her, which Is In exist
ence in Baltimore. 1t was taken number
or years ago, and represents her wearing
great, long earrings The pose shows her
with her head just between two others,
somewhat after the fashion of the cherubs;
the men on each side being brothers. one
Of whom is well-known correspondent
in Washington. Duplicates of this picture
would make rather pretty souvenirs for a
night at Days.
THE LOCKS OF FAMOUS souBRErrEs.
Della Fox has short hair, which is baby
blonde in color. As her skin and eyes
harmonize with it. it IS probably natural,
ana on the stage she wears no wig; neither
does Anna 0keefe, whose beautiful black
hair is never without single flower for a
decoration. Marie Jansen has dark brown
hair, which she il forced To conceal under
e.wig when she plays the part of boy.
She is one of the few women who have
such an amount of personal magnetism
that, aiter seeing her, You came away I'M
decided as TO what's the color of her SKIN,
hair or eyes, you are so fascinated with the
woman. Lillian Russell wears a wig on
the stage always, as she does not care to
rum her own hair by crimpng it and
curling it. My authority for this is her
own sweet self. May Yohe has quantities
OF glossy black hair, which. is worn
smoothly off her forehead, plated and
Topped in the back and tied with black
ribbon. With her peach-like skin and
soft, brown eyes, she can stand this severe
mode: which would be impossible for a
less beautiful or less young woman.
Marie Tempest

4 most animated one, but it would be a
little difficult to find out whether those

drogen. Virginia Harmed may gid re-
fined gold, but to me, her hair looks as if
u were naturally blonde the test usually
being the harmony of the eyes and com
plexion, and In her case they seem to call
for Just such hair as she has. Jennie Dun
bar, who plays the good girl" where
Miss Harmed plays the bad girl" has
soft, light brown hair, that seems like spun
alk, 1t looks so fine.
OTHER ACTRESSES TREssEs.
Georgia Cayvan's beautiful womanhood
Is crowned with dark, very dark. brown
hair, which she always wears in the
umplest fashion; and yet, as the simplest
fashion sometimes suggests untidiness one
must remember that this does not apply
in her case, as each lock looks certain Of
remaining just as it was placed, and vet it
is not stiff. Rhea has beautiful red hair
the sort of red that Lillith, Lucretia
Borgia or Cleopatra might have rejoiced
in. Mojeska has dark brown hair that
she is foolish enough to cover on the stage
with q blonde wig. Mrs Dion Boucicault
which is ugly enough to keep every
woman who thinks of bleaching her hair
from doing 1t. Sidney Armstrong has
light hair which suggests touch of hydro
gen, but still one is In doubt, and it may
be perfectly natural. Mrs. Berlan Gibbs
has very heavy, smooth, dark hair and at
home when dressed in a tea-gown, she
wears it in two braids, tied at the ends
with very narrow ribbons. Elsie De
Wolfe has dark hair, which off the stage
is worn in a picturesque knot, fastened
with single pin, though on the stage it is
probable She is forced TO wear wig, but
OF this am not certain.
THE ACTRESS WITH BANG.
The one woman who has IA little curl
right in the middle of her forehead" is
