Between two and three o'clock in the

was reported that the president would

Some of the new Partisan novelties IN
hair mounts are very beautiful-off the
head at least. A bunch of luscious
scarlet cherries is attached to n gold
pin that is to be thrust through the
knot at the back of the head, letting the
cherries droop slightly just above aud
behind the ear. Fruit in the hair, how
ever, under any guise of enamel and
metal, is not to be commended. Its
incOngruity is obvious. We have ac-
cepted it on our bonnets, where its use
is less distasteful than the plumage of
murdered birds, but in the couture the
association is not acceptable. French
women regard their hair ornaments
with great attention and take as much
care to suitably complete the coiffure
toilet as that of the corsage. Steel, iet,
gilt and silver ornaments are especially
suited to dark hair. Fair-haired women
could wear amber and clear tortoise
shell. For evening wear, jeweled orna-
ments are properly much worn. Ex-
cept against a beautiful neck there is
no part of a woman's toilet where gems
may be so well displayed as in the hair.

She Found Man Who Took Her at Her
Word Promptly.
''The way Hettie Green got her first
million-two or three at least-was b.
inheritance" said r. a. Chase, of Bos-
ton, at the Hotel Page. "She has added
IA good many more millions to the orig
inal pile left by her father, the late
Edward Mott Robinson. Robinson got
his start in life up our way; he was a
New Bedford man and laid the founda-
ton of his fortune by close attention
TO the whaling business. His boats
made many a capture of these monsters
of the deep and they turned to gold in
the hands of Robinson. Afterward he
went to New York and became one Of
| the greatest traders on the seas of his
day He did not leave all his wealth
to Mrs. Green Internationally, but
finally the bulk of the estate passed into
her keeping.
Mrs. Green at one time did business
with the well-known New York bank
ing house of John J. Cisco d Co., and
deposited with them her cash, bonds,
securities and other forms of money.
running into big figures. One day she
went to the bank to express her dissat-
isfaction with the way some matter
of hers had been conducted. Mr.. Cisco,
the head of the concern, argued the
question with her in a temperate way, |
but her wrath was aroused and She |
would not be appeased. Finally she |
stated her intention of Withdrawing |
from the bank, then and there, every /
sumarkee that stood to her credit She |
said it with emphasis and not in the
way of one who merely puts forth a
bluff. Anyway, Mr.. Cisco took
her seriously and told her it would
give him the greatest pleasure
to accommodate her; that she
should have every dollar that was hers
on the spot, and straightway ordered
an employee to get out Mrs. Green's gold
and silver coin, greenbacks, treasury
notes, stocks and bonds and all other
kinds of lucre the lady possessed. The
clerk was good while at it, but he a.
length piled S5,OOO,OOO or S6,OOO,OOO in

garding the task without comment.
