ABOUT HAIR DRESSING.
Ribbons Are a Prominent Feature in All
the CoInnres.


There never was a time when fancy
headdresses were so much in vogue as
al present. Every woman strives Tor in
dividuality in the arrangement of her
tresses, and in doing so finds that she
is largely aided in this by the use of
ribbon. 1t is only very elderly dame
who does not have a bit Of velvet or
satin wound through the coils of her
hair This style of decoration is nat
urally wee bit frivolous and there
fore is seen more frequently in the
coiffures of debutantes and Young ma
irons.
A STYLE affected largely by those
having light, fluffy hair is To brush it
off back from the face, leaving only a
slight fringe on the forehead, and coil
ing it midway between the nape Of the
neck and the crown of the head. end
ing in bow at the top. the loops of
which are made to stand upright by the
use of wire. Another pretty fashion
for the woman who can wear her hair

So few women can wear the Grecian
coil that it is seen but very rarely.
When it is becoming. ribbon in three
bands, in the style made popular by
Mary Anderson, divides the fluffy bang
into sections. and ends in the little
knot in the back from which loose
curls float out in very enticing man

sixteen dainty style is to divide the
hair, coiling il back from the face IN

OUT WORK.
Employees Of Every Branch of the Leh
Valley Servi,a Ssrlke

Nahet service Strthe-
Wu.KEsRARRF., Pa. Nov. 2l.-All the
employees of the I.ehigh Valley railway
went out on strike at fO:45 o'clock
Saturday night The railroad officials
have notified the sheriff TO be in readi-
hess, as they may need his assistance.
The officials say they can get all the
men they want and can fill the places
of the strikers in a few hours. The
strike involves more than a5 per cent.
of the employees, including engineers.
tremen, trainmen and telegraph ope-
rGtors.
The immediate cause of the strike is
the company's refusal to recognize any
committee or body of men as the rep
resentative of the employees of
the road After repeated at
tempts made by the grand officers
of the several railway organizations
TO gain audiences with the officials Of
the road, and after a subcommittee
from the general committee sitting at
the Binham house In this city COM
posed of bona fide employees of the
road has failed 10 secure recognition
from the roads highest representative
in this city, First Vice President Voor-
hees, further consultation was held
among the grand officers of the organ
lied train workers, and the order to
quit work was telegraphed to all the
employees along the line Of the road
The result was a general strike was
declared.
The effect of the strike, it is said,
will act very disadvantageously against
the anthracite coal trade on all points
between the coal regions and the lake
and seaports II 1t is protracted any
length of time. BY this it will probably
be the cause of shutting down many OF
the mines and throwing thousands Of
men and boys out of work until the
trouble is settled and create a general
anthracite famine
Reports from Easton to Buffolo show
that only the passenger trains are
moving, and that majority of the
old-time employees of the company
are quitting work The employees have
ct last awakened to the fact
that the fight is on the labor
question and they are unanimous in
stopping work. The quitting of the
telegraph operators has proved most
serious blow, and new men cannot
readily take their places The weak
point in the strike is The great number
of unemployed in this section, and they
are floclxing to points in the Lehigh
valley TO take the strikers places
All along the lines switches have
been tempered with and signals de-
stroyed. Unless the trouble is quickly
settled the destruction of property will
be great That this trouble was ex-
pected is shown by the fact that num-
Der of Insiders sold out their Lehigh
Valley stock last week. At the time
the sales caused comment, and now
they are readily explained.
The New Jersey Central and Della
ware 4 Lsckawanns men declare they
will not handle Lehigh Valley freight,
and that they will quit first. The sit
uation looks serious.
