which lie closely adjusted around it. The
style destined to become great fayorits is
given in the illustration of coiffure for
young ladies at afternoon and evening
functions it shows the Grecian knot
with curled effects The English coifurs
showed the shepherdess or Bergere knot.
The Grecian knot, with the French modi-
fcations, is worn well on the crown of the
head, and the curled ends OF the haii, after
the twist has been made by little knack that
anyone may acquire with but slight prac-
tice. are held in place with invisible pins,
in contradistinction to the large shell pins
which fairly nail the not in position.
Care should be taken in fastening the
curled ends of the hair that the type OF
the head and face of the wearer be consid-
cred. Place curls at such angles as oess
follow correct and artistic lines Let the
style suit the wearer For instance, If .
young woman has prominent nose, both
knot and curls should begin above line
drawn parallel with the tip of the ear, IN
order that an unsymmetrical effect OF great
breath from tip of nose to tip OF knot oe
avoided.
So, also, should she have rather long
chin, she would naturally avid dressing
the hair high on the crown, which would
produce an inartistic and notieesbly long
oblique line from chin to knot Avoid
emphasizing an imperfection OF contour.
In either case she should so adjust the hair

shapely, symmetrical contour of head. Any

Faults OF the Dramatic Schools.
There are many objections to dramatic
schools, some of which arssFery fore1ole.
There is in them, as in private teaching, the
danger of imitation and of getting into
purely mechanical habit which produces
conventional, artificial acting Yet 1t is not
to be denied that great number OF the best
French and German actresses and actors
have been pupils of dramatic schools, and
that two af the schools-those of Paris and
Vienna-have Justly enjoyed q great
celebrity. Of the schools have known
personally cannot speak very tavorably.
Of the three elements that. in my opinion,
go to make upa good dramatic artist, the
first one, technique, must be acquired by
professional training; the second and higher
one, which is art itself, originates in
natural genius, but can and ought to be i'm
proved by the general cultivation Of the
mind. But there is yet something beyond
these two; it is inspiration. This cannot be
acquired or improved, but it can be lost by
neglect. Inspiration does not depend upon
US. Happy the moments when it responds
to our appeal 1t is only at such moments
that an artist can feel satisfaction in his
work-pride in his creation; and this feel
ing is the only real and true success which
ought to be the object of his ambition.

wrists produce meager forearms, because the
flow of blood is checked in them. Throwing
bean bags and quoits are good training for

The hair darkens faster in winter, when

hair flowing, just as long as possible. Go

. A Recipe That Will Not Work.
A. G. G.-Would equal parts of rosemary
water, tincture of cantharides and rosewater
increase the length of nv hair without dark
ening it in the least? Would powdered
cantharides be better than tincture, and how
much should be used to six ounces each of
rosemary and rosewater? Also please tell
me if should get the rosemary and make
the extract myself, if it would be better;
and is there any danger of getting it too
strong?
Where did you get your recipe? It is
evidently evolved from the inner conscious
ness OF some one equally unacquainted with
hair and pharmacy. The rose water is use
less to the hair, and an equal part of tine
ture cantharides would be enough to raise
the entire scalp in q blister. Approved
formulas give not more than two and a half
fluid ounces of the tincture to IA ounces of
other liquid as q lotion for badness, and
more would rather kill the hair than i'm
prove it. The infusion of cantharides Is
two or three drains, about teaspoonful, in
q pint of boiling water stepped for two
hours. The tincture is preferable, and also
the spirit of rosemary. You would find it
very difficult to collect rosemary enough to
make hair wash in the entire North. I'm
possible to say whether any such lotion
would darken your hair or not. The best
formula is five tablespoonfuls each of tine
ture Of cantharides and spirits OF rosemary,
with nine ounces of distilled water and one
ounce of best glycerine, scented with few
drops of oil Of rose, bergamot or sandal
wood, which combine pleasantly with the
strong odor Of rosemary.

prominence given to any portions of the
head should be regulated with an eye to
facial proportion.
A short, full face, where features are
small, takes well the high coiffure effects,
and that young woman who has a round, not
altogether classic face, will lose nothing of
symmetry or contour by drawing her shin
ing locks onto the very top of her head.
The ornament worn with the Grecian knot
coiffure illustrated, is bandesu and set Of
loops in imitation of ribbon bows, made Of
French gilt and enamel.
The conventionalized loops and knots
shown this season in decorative and dress
materials are reproduced not only in slip
per, girdle, shoulder and neck ornaments,
but in considerable variety of embellish-
ments for the hair These coiffure crna-
ments range in price from 81 80 up, ac-
coIding as they are made of gilt, enamel,
gold, and repousse or jeweled.
Americans and others who independently
adopt notifications of both English and
French fashions, will vet have to adhere to
our detail. An edict has gone forth over
two heml spheres. Waved hair and the
fluffy effects made popular by La Bern
hardt will be de rigeuE. Blessed indeed
will be that young woman, wherever she is,
so favored of nature as to have natural
crinkles in her browning glory" She will
be saved unutterable fatigues.
But for the unfsvored majority there is
fortunately a device which may be guaran-
teed to work marvels, with fair degree Of
safety The Sarah Bernhardt hair-waver is
a tiny cylinder over which a strand of hair
is slightly twisted and wound and fastened
with an attached hairpin and loop. A
small heated rod is inserted in the cylinder
and after two minutes the hair Is ready
to be unwound and is beautifully waved,
with less risk than in cases where hot irons
are applied direct. A set of "wavers"
costs but so cents and may be had at any
of the dealers. Where heat is not consid-
cred desirable the hair may be left on the
cylinder over night.
The modified Grecian effects have not only
the elements of becomingness, grace, artistic
picturesqueness and good style, but are,
with comparative ease, adjusted by almost
any young woman to her own particular
head. The out-of-door styles, with possibly
an exception in the case of oblong bra1ds for
street wear, which leading coiffeurs main
tain are still popular, are almost identical
with the indoor and evening styles. The
more elaborate effects for the house are ac-
complished by means of a little extra wave
and curl and by the help of the long list OF
approved ornaments, jeweled butterflies,
gorgeous jeweled flowers, metal bandeaus
and metal ribbon knots, ecaille pins, combs
of gold and silver, aigrettes and the latest

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH,
In New York paper appeared recently
an amusing protest by man "with large
mouth and big nose'' against the absurd
cups which appear on the fashionable five
o'clock tea table. His sad experience with
triangular hollow of porcelain, endowed
with two handles and weighted with an i'm
possible souvenir spoon, which was Mexf

full of ludicrous interest doubtless to many
other victims of Fashions whims.

that it is usually the women who err in this
regard. As rule man goes from the arti-

and spidery tables, chairs which offer no
safe seating, and all make-shifts form no
part of his belongings. In the compara-
lively small drawing room of city house

in front of the double door opening into the

Interesting Astronomical Event That Oc-
Cured Friday, April 20. '
There was a close conjunction of the
moon and Venus Friday, April 20, at mid
night, when the moon was 80 south of We
nus, a distance less than one-tenth of the
moons diameter. At the time of the con-
junction moon and star were below the
horizon to observers in the Eastern and
Central States, but the two heavenly bodies
were near enough together to form a lovely
picture in the western sky on the evening
of the 29th.
Venus, the peerless star, and the g.
days-old crescent were the actors in the
scene. The crescent hung south of the
radiant star, and drew nearer and nearer,
until both disappeared below the horizon,
about an hour and half before the con-
junction. So close conjunction between
the moon and Venus is rare event, and
comes near being an occultation. 1t ranks
next, among the interesting events of the
year, to the conjunction of Venus and Jupi-
ter on February 6, when the planets were
only one degree apart. The phenomenon

junction was an occultation-that is, the star
disappeared behind the moon-in Colorado

If fair Helen of Troy could step down

Three Artists Who Had In Mind the
Painted Grapes Birds Pecked At.
A Partisan paper relates the following
story of contest in boasting which, 1t
says, took place between three artists of
Marseilles. 1t should be explained that
Partisan writers always put their "tall
talk" into the mouths OF MarseiIles people.

deau line, bangs are to be worn unusually
full, high and narrow, making the V
effect so becoming in the case of high FORE
heads. Less hair is to be drawn down on
the brow this season. The heavy cutoff,
straight look will no longer be visible.
By removing the quill ornaments and
jeweled nesting appropriate for evening
wear, seen in the completed English coif-
ture, and which hint at the coming decora-
tion. the model is an equally correct repro
duction of out-of-door styles.

tricate coils and loops and more striking
ornamentation is noticeable in advanced

selles will wear their tresses coiled, knotted
and drawn quite on the crown of the head.
But, as we said, both English and French
aim at classic style.
