The Marie Antoinette Juror is bringing
powdered heads very much 10 the fore.
The bal poudre has been a very popular
form of entertainment at the various wa
tering places the past summer, while in
France the craze is carried to much
| greater extent, several very fashionable
'grandes elegantes' appearing with pow
dered locks al some OF lne shlarlest , ssI- ar
den parties This of course, necessitates
rouge and a general making up; SO that
IL almost looks as If we would have an
era of paint and powder again.
Both the English and French fashionable
women now use rouge and hair dye with
the utmost frankness, so that powdered
hair would not seem an exaggeration-
in fact, il would not be as harmful as the
| reddish dye which is the fashionable color
at present. This, they say, is more or less
poisonous. The powder certainly does not
look so meretricious as the dye so II we
must have theatrical effects, the brilliant
and picturesque makeup of Louis XVI
would seem the most attractive.
Topeka. Kan. has a young woman, aged
IT, Adele Pollock by name, who for amuse-
ment learned to turn a horseshoe in her
fathers blacksmith shop. At a recent en-
tertainment for the benefit Of q church
Miss Adele appeared in match against
two of the most expert blacksmiths in
the city. Three portable FORCES were plac-
ed upon the stage, Each of the contes
tants were allowed a helper to blow the
bellows She appeared in very work
manlike garb--a corduroy skirt and leather
apron Her competitors smiled indulgent-
~ at her when time was called, but became
anxious; then alarmed, and finally dis
comfited when she turned and cast a per-
feet horseshoe before the judges in less
! thdn FOUR minutes. The curtain dropped
on the pretty picture of the flaming forge
and few minutes later Miss Pollock APP
peared among her friends daintiy clad
in white, and charmed all by her graceful
manner.
The woman who is not watchful of ex-
penses in the househld and a constant
enemy TO waste, says the New York
Times, is not womanly at all. But, never
theless, economy, like most virtues
needs a curb bit when it is ridden as a
hobby.
The writer once heard society girl
exclaim boastfully: 81 never save pen
niess l. always throw them away" In
land owe overlooking with maimed beggars
However. the society girls speech has
been retailed merely as a companion to
the other extreme. A man of exact bust
ness habits told a boarding house parlorful
OF the usual free-and-easy- going American
his recent wedding journey there was /
cent expended for which he could not
account. A few days after he cried glee-
room: i've found itr'
Found what?" demanded an eager cho-
''The cent? was the grave reply.
In a family composed of four members
and three servants young woman said
as If she were looking for commentator,
that she managed to save greatly in the
washing of sheets by a method of her
own; when fresh ones were due. she
. merely turned about those already in use
| and began over again with them for
a second week In this way she declared
that half the ordinary amount of bed-linen
washing might be spared while her lis
teners were busy wondering if her head
had no objections to lying where her
feet had been.
One of our best short-story writer's
once gave a few domestic hints in a house
keeping journal which graphically illus
trated what is here meant by the danger
in unbridled economy. Her remarks hap

remnants. She seriously advised the gem

little later on, the author mentions cas-
