Awhile ago IL was a positive drawback
to possess fire head of hair. Women
who did so tried 10 compress the super
fiuous locks by the closest possible ar
rangement of plaits and braids. During
the last year, however, il has gradually
become the fashion to pie up the hair on
the top Of the head and to arrange it in
weighty plaits al the Dape of the neck.
The change from this arrangement to
small ciIiRnOns will not be a very great
one. although chignon generally means
false hair. which is expensiv and uncom-
Portable.
Artists and scalptors generally agree
that the way woman's head is set on her
shoulders determines more than ANYTHING
else whether she is graceful. For this
reason the ancient Greeks never hid the
nape of the neck. Chignons hide il COM
Dletey; but then fashion is not determine ed
by artists and sculptors. As the bellies of
fashionable watering places are arranging
their hair like balloons, the probabi is
that other women will follow their
example.

both as 10 general design and as to de-
tailed execution. Being of the thirteenth
century English style Of architecture, has
been a problem how to get a spacious
and dignifed entrance to this church.
The problem has been solved rather ad-
vantageously upon the whole. Had the
entrance been higher the effects would
have been more in keeping with the pre-
tentious and really handsome structure,
but the facade itself would not permit
this. The whole main entrance is a very
pretty piece of work and not inharmonious
with the facade.
The Church of the Advent is one OF the
handsome church structures In the city.

His Courage Failed film.

Recently, in the lower end of the county,
bachelor whose locks were slyered by
the SHOWS of sixty winters was married.
The event brought up recollections in the
minds of some of the old people of the
neghborhood of time before when the
bridegroom came uear EN- barking upon the
sea of matrimony but failed through sheer
timidlty and bashfulness. Everything was
ia readiness for the consummation of the
nuptial vows; the house was lighted, the
guests assembled and the wedding supper
spread, but the bridegroom never put in
an appearance. It was simply a case Of
faint heart ne'er won fair lady" He had
driven up TO the front gate with tho mar

The Cathedral.


Within the last few years an awakened
interest in architecture has been noticeable
in San Francisco. Since the interest has
awakened 1t has grown and grown. until
to-day architecture is one of the important
questions of the city's growth and progress.
In the churches more than elsewhere is
the architecture of people or a city shown
TO best advantage. In the business structure
or public building renting space and in
terror accommodations are the first con-
sideratiOns. To these architecture must
conform.
Not so in the churches. Here. in theory
at least. architecture holds undisputed
sway. In the olden times the temples aud
religious edifceS were planned on a scale
of grandeur and finished as the means
would allow. Sometimes whole centuries
elapsed before the structure was COM
ple:ed.
This was doubtless incOnvenient for the
worshipers, but the result was that the
men of those times left imposing monu-
ments OF their architecture to future gen.
erations. And the temples of antiquity
and the churches Of the middle ages were
perfect specimens of their particular style
of architecture. If the original plans

consumed in the building.
1t is not so in our day. congregation
needs new church. The building lot is
secured, plans are drawn, the church is
constructed. all in a year it may be. or ten
years at most. The result is mpromise
all around. so far as purity of archi ecture
Is concerned.
Yet in spite of all this there are many
handsome and imposing church 'edifces
built and being built these days. and San
francisco is getting a share Of them.
From being a city almost devoid of
churches San Fran cisco is rapidly becom-
ing city of churches. During the last
lew years many handsome churches have
been constructed here, and the plans for
several more are now in course of prepara-
ton.
A distinguishing feature of every church
is or should be its main entrance the por-
tails that lead TO the sanctuary within.
1t Is a maxim of pure architecture that
the doors alone of a structure ought to de-
note the character of the structure. To
how far an extent this is true of modern
churches in San Francisco, as well as to
show some of the more tasty architectural

AN HONEST INVENTOR.
His Discovery Was Likely to Stimu-
late Fraud and He Destroyed 1t.

Me mphis Appeal-Avalanehe.
DR.. j. ?. Barnum. the well-known
chemist of Louisville, is in the city on
business trip. DR.. Barnum is the man
who invented the celebrated ink-eraser
which caused so much talk several years
ago. In an interview with an Appeal
Avalanche reporter last night he gave the
following interesting facts:
when l first got my ink-eraser COM
plete thought my fortune was made, but
L soon discovered that it was so conducive
to crime that l suppressed it's sale and
have always kept the secret to myself. I
suppose 1t will die with me. This eraser
could positively remove all traces of ink
from any kind OF paper. l remember one
man who wrote letter to the Courier
Journal, telling them that he did not
believe the account which they had
published of the eraser. Some of the
men in the Courier-J ourna Office
took some of my erasing fluid and
wiped all the ink out of his letter. except
the signature. A check for 500 was then
written above the signature. and they went
to the bank and got the money. In n
short time after its introduction several
crimes in Louisville, as well as elsewhere,
had been committed by the aid of the
eraser, and when wellknown young man
in Louisville perpetrated afraud upon his
firm by its use and went to California. |
then determined never to allow any more
of the fluid to be manufactured.
Il have, however, since done some work
with it myself. At one time a number of
securities of the Falls City Bank of Louis
vile had been stolen, and the holders of
bonds IN the community got In the habit
of writing their names across the face of
their bonds, and also a statement that the
bonds were not good unless Endorsed. But
when they wanted to dispose of these bonds
they found that nobody would buy them
with the writing across the face. They
came to me with a rush and wanted me to
remove the writing l had at one time
100000 worth of these bonds, with the
agreement that if any traces of ink or the
fluid were left was TO buy each bond so
defaeed at its face value. but l didn't have
to buy any OF them. The act of forgery is
very easy to accomplish, but the perpetra-
tor nearly always gets caught in the end.
This so-c8lled safety paper which is now
being extensively manufactured is no pro-
lection. The ink lines on this safety paper,
which fade away as soon as they are
touched by any chemical, can be put back
very easily. A stone for this purpose can
be engraved for So"
