old masters raved over. Every line in

hair rather tight into q knot just at
the crown of the head.
But one has TO DE possessed OF no end
of good points TO effect this severe
couture. A small, bird-like head, q
long neck, dark hair and a low fore
head are indispensable to the complete
success of this style OF hairdress.
People who possess that soft. curly
hair that never grows in great album

her great success i'm Paris. Tt was she
who first started the fashion Of part
iuz her hair in the middle and bringing
it down quite over her ears. il was
such an unusual style that it called at
tont.On to her pretty young face that
might have passed unnOuced, for III
was not q striking type. For three
wears now she has worn her hair in
this stvle. and to abandon it now would
mean to great eEten to give up Eer
individuality.
The French people have always been
fond Of rolling the hair back from the
face over a hieh roll. They first crimp
f. hack and front. draw tt very loosely
over the roll and twist the hair into
knot at the crown of the head. IL is
rather becoming to short, small faces,
that ARRANGEMENT. but when the face is
broad and the forehead high it is most
trying.
THE DEHUTANTE STYLE.
For broad. plump face. the Me-
rode couture is particularly becoming.
The hair is parted In the middle and
drqned to touch the eyebrows and en-
-fra'v cavclcD the ears. Just q few
locks ar the front and waved just

YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION

Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over
work or strain on brain and body. The
course of treatment for such 4 condi
ton is plain and simple. The blood
must first be purified SO that the ner-
vous system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. lntelli-
gent people without number have tes-
titled that the best blood purifier, nerve
tonic and strength imparting medicine
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Nervousness,
loss of sleep and general debility all
vanish when Hoods Sarsaparilia is
persistently taken; in word, health
and happiness follow after taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

with O vengeance. They finally drove him
from New York to Brooklyn. from Brook
lyn to East Neg ycrk, and ultimately
"broke" him
A few months ago saw Harry Hill in a
1ittlo apology for a roadhouse in East New
York. He lind no money, no family, no
friends and even no customers. There
was scarcely any beer or LIQUOR In the
little bar, yet Hill was philosophically
waiting for u customer to turn up so that
no could scnd his adopted daughter, q
child OF Il, and the only human being
that seemed to stick to him, to the butcher
shop for n Ground steak" Soon afteT
that fow OF Hills old aceuaintanccs col
lected some 5000 for him, installed him In
better saloon near Conoy Island and In
duced Boss Hugh Mclaughlin of Brook
lyn to "use his influence with the police
to call on the boycott. That in meas
ure has been done, and poor old Harry Hill
will be permitted to breathe the air and
buy round steaks" and other fodder II he
is lucky enough to make money sufficient
to do 30.
In speaking to tho writer, old Harry said
recently: Yes, the police, coupled with bad
land speculBtions made, broke me- But
you will be surprised at what am now
together. Vice certainly can't prosper for
ever. II / nevor allowed fast women in
my theater and kept within excise hours,
the police could never get the chance to
break me, and would DO millionaire to-
day. Mind you, l never wronged man or
woman, financially or otherwise, in my
life. On the contrary, 1 have times in

those entitled to thom got every penny
only made tho one mistake I have told
you, and I have suffered enough for it,
Lord knows. Virtue as well Rs honesty is
the best policy
There are really no dives now in New
York. Roosevelt, Pnrkhurst and reform
have effaccd them. The divekeepcrs of no
toriety almost equal to Harry Hill are

street, Is compelled for lack of funds to
live on Long Island farm owned by his
wife, while Frank Stevenson Of tho
Slide infamy is SO poor that he is how
ering upon tho fringes of politics to get n
Job. The rich Bowcry ruffian, Owney
Geogheghan of the Old House at Homo,
died poor some years ago. Truly 1 think
Harry Hill had it about right when he
said, "Vice doesn't prosper.
