puffs or curious placing Of small curls.
Such a couture as one could not accom-
plish ones self, and that whispers Oh the
masculine hairdresser. VIII some beau

de Lamballe. with her hair arranged 10
represent q full feet of ships? The
lovely lady did this out OF compliment
n = sailor admirer, and that she might
keep it in order she slept, sitting up, tor
seven nights. Perhaps some girl Oh TO-
dav who has a sweetheart in the navy,
or who feels very proud Of the White
Squadron. may have her pretty locks put
nm in inst the same way. History, even
IN fashions. only repeats itself. Another

II was so cleverly arranged with red
white and blue ribons, suggesting lib
erty and equality, that the MARQUIS Ge
LAFAYETTE could not doubt for wnom the
compliment was intended, and wrote a
letter TO a pretty American friend oe-
scribing the courtesy paid him.
Some patriotic girl of to-day can deco
rate her aair after it is pulled and curled
with
STRINGS OF GOLD DOLLARS,
10 ebow her appreciation Of Republican
doctrines and her horror when Democ-
racv Is talked about. The possibilities
in tbe way of suggestive hairdressing are
many. but. while cur pretty bellies copy
the fashions OF Marie Antoinette and tne
ladies of her court, they are by no means
eager TO express in their toilettes theIr
wit or their politics.
II is a curious fact, but in both Eng
land and France women have told the
story in knots Of ribbon and flowers, IN
specially shaped garments, in hats or a
peculiar color. their political leanings,
hut American women nave carefully
avoided these modes Of expression. The
enthusiasm that the English women
show for the primrose would not be UNI
derstood here and the quickness with
which something worn by fayorlte
statesman is copied by all his constitu-
ents belongs peculiarly across the sea.
Either our opinions are deeper and
stronger. or is it that we do not have
any opinions at all? Certainly
WHEN THE WAR DAYS COME
American women show themselves
strong enough and decided enough, but
in the days of peace they do not permit
notifies TO influence The arrangement OF
q ribbon. or the style of hat. Blythe
bv.speaking of fashion. the colors that
were in vogue just before the French
Revolution are as much in fashion now
as are the hats Of that same period. The
peculiar green, the deep garnet, the ar
tistic blending of lavender and blue, the
commingling Of bright-green and deep
but not a dull blue, all these are to be
seen either in the gowns, bodices or
wraps of to-day. And the cravatte. The
one worn by my Lady Modish now is not
the simple stock worn by the men VINO
constituted themselves jury to muir
der their king; it is the faring lace bow
of Louis XIV. and OF those gentlemen
who did not disdain to accept piece OF
fine lace when ii was willed 10 them by
some aged beauty who admired their
youth and gallantry
The older a beauty grows the more
she appreciates young, handsome man.
She has nothing but disdain TO offer TO
that rival, a young woman, but she APP
preciates
THE ESCAPADES OF A GAY BEAU,
and she is always willing to forgive him
and to laugh with him over his pranks.
If he Is near to her she wants him 90
look his smartest, and it is easy to UNDER
stand how, in the years gone 2, she
willed TO him so many yards OF beautllul
lace to make ruffles for his wrists and a
cravatte for his coat. She liked TO
think of him as triumphing in beauty
and dress over all the other men, and II
pleased her to know that, when she was
dead and gone, the lace which she gave
him would add to his appearance. Cen

immemorial women have loved the prod

Think over history and you will find
that your heart goes out to the gallanls,
even to the handsome thieves, while it
never beats bit quicker as you read OF
learned monks or patient saints. 1t is
true that one or two saints provoked a
heart-throb but they were saints who
had been sinners. The gay Frenchman
who loved another's wife, who was IN the
habit of meeting her in little cottage
near Versailles, who went TO meet her
one night. saw that she was lying on
couch, apparently asleep, put his arms
around her to awake her with a kiss,
and in his arms her head separated from
her body. You know the story; the hus-
band had been there, and this was his re-
yenge. The rolicking chevalier be-
came stern, called him out, killed him,
and then founded an order, the members
of which wore hair skirts, slept on
planks, starved themselves, and took
care of the poor. That saint you can
sympathize with and admire; but the
one who had always been good, who had
nothing about which he could repent,
mat saint seemed to you very uninter-
esting. Then,
