HAIRDRESSING.
THE NEWEST ARRANGEMENTS
IN WOMAN'S HAIR.

er, that there will not be q
total revolution in style, for French
hats rarely suit English faces. and
English bonnets are seldom chosen by
Americans. The roke bonnet which
has such uglifying or beautifying pos
sibilities originated in France and 1t
is but natural to infer it will appear
in New York. Indeed, it has made Its
advent already, says the New York
Telegram.
The thing that most concerns the
woman of to-day in the fashionable
line is the new arrangement OF the
hair. The bewitohment in jetty locks
and golden curls is really not merely
an agreeable romance of poets. Every
woman can practically prove the trans
figuring charm OF a becoming couture
and diecover for herself the magical
effect of increasing or decreasing her
apparent age by different ways OF
dressing her hair.
No. 1, in the double column Illus
tration, shows the coiffure much be-
praised by man. 1t seems to be
ideally feminine to wear ones tresses
arranged with a parting. It is much
in rogue now, but the only woman
who can afford to dress her hair IN
this Madonna-like mode is one who
has the face of st. Cecilia or one
with regularly modelled features,

An ostrich farmer in Southern Cali
fornia says il the New York Sun that
the ostrich farming experiment is not
an entire success, although not acom-
plete failure. He was one of the first
to engage in the business OF raising
the big birds for their feathers, and
expected to realize big fortune
quickly. BE says that, while much
money has been derived from the sale
of feathers, the birds do not increase
as rapidly as was! expected. Then,
very many are SO vicious that it is i'm
possible to remove the feathers with
out killing them. He still hopes that.
as the farmers gain more experience
in the management of the ostriches,
the business may become as big sue
cess as was at first expected.

The visible working of the jaws in
chewing gum is not q pleasant sight,
and that it exasperates sensitive peo-
pie beyond measure is not unnatural.
A Buffalo coachman lost good posi-

persist in chewing gum on the box

How Dolly enjoyed the performance
it is unnecessary to relate in detail.
She did enjoy it immensely; and she
frequently turned to Tom and thanked
him so earnestly for his kindness in
having brought her that Tom began
to feel the ecstasy that follows virtu-
Gus conduct. Her enjoyment robbed
her, for the first time, of her shyness.
Her face glowed with an unusual AMI
nation. There was color in her
cheeks and sparkle in her eyes that
had not been there before. When a
shy maiden does wake up to ANNA
tion sho is ten times more dangerous
ly attractive than her vivacious SIS

thought his cousins face more
seductively sweet than he had imag.
ined it could be. He warmed toward
her. He no longer wanted to draw
her out, TO hirt with her. He was in
love now, ali the way.
They made no haste out OF the the

reached the street, there was not an

during the performance, and the pave.

sloppy.
"It's rather unpleasant Under foot,

She did as she was bid, and imme-
diately experienced curious sense of

small, gloved fingers on his coat sleeve

EMBROIDERED CHIFFON FOR TRIMMING.

EMBROIDERED CHIFFON FOR TRIMMING.
The popularity of diaphanous trim
ming fabrics continues, and embrold-
cred chiffon is one of the fancies OF
the moment. Black chiffon embroid-
cred in gold, blue, pink, pale-green,
indeed al shades of color, is much
liked for trimming black dresses. A
black satin waist is almost covered
with chiffon about quartz: OF yard
wide. The ground of this is black,
the edge is embroidered in pink, and
tiny rosebuds in pink with green leaves
are scattered over it. Some of these
trimmings are close fitting, others are
ruf1led and set on with just enough b
fullness to make them graceful.
Crlmped and plated chiffon comes by
the yard and is very easy to use, be-
sides furnishing ingenious women with
the opportunity to adjust and arrange
in novel and becoming fashions these
exquisite garnitures.

Fortunately, they were ignorant.
There was nothing really bad about
the lad. He had very good heart,
but he wanted steadying little. He
was exactly the sort of dashing, reck-
less, freehanded young Englishman
that handsome, manly fellow be-
comes when placed in circumstances
OF wealth and freedom. The first time
he saw his cousin Dolly he decided
that she was very pretty girl, but
shy, and that it would be worth while
to draw her cut.
He found it not easy ;and that, not
witnsSanding the fact, had he known
it, that there was in Dolly's heart on
intense willingness to be drawn out by
cousin Tom. But that sbyness ot
Of hers .sswas o fashionable barrier.
She could not chatter; the thing was
impossible. Her silence had been in
bred so long that it had become part
of her anatomical structure ;and Tom,
in spite of all his conversational tai
ents and social polish, frequently
found himself reduced by it to cor.
responding state. On the other hand,
if Dolly could not speak, she could
look. She had extremely eloquent
eyes; eyes that spoke far more thar
her lips. Tom soon began to watch
those eyes and to love them. He nc
longer attempted to make his consir
talk; her eyes rendered conversation
unnecessary.
One afternoon, in the first week Of
January, he sauntered into his moth
er's sitting room, and there discov-
cred Dolly, sitting, like the historic
Miss Mufit. on buffet in front Of the
fire. Her fingers were busy will
some crochet work. Tom drew q chair
to the fire.
