order, Degree of Pocahontas, to which
most of the women members of the

RED HAIR POPULAR.

The noticeable increase in the num-
ber of red-haired women in Chicago
last year is construed by many as an
indication that the blonde woman is
passing out of sight and new fad has
come to interest the fair sex. A few
years ago every red-headed woman
wished she was u blonde or brunette.
because the white horse gag made life
burden to her. Red hair and white
horses wei ie so closely associated that
the urchlns on the streets would laugh
whenever red-headed woman passed,
and the bleached blonde was the nat.
ural result as means of escape from
unpleasant notice.
The white horse has been forgotten,
and red hair is all the go now. The
woman who is the possessor of head
OF rich, deep red, or auburn hair, has
reason to feel well contented, for it is
hard to initiate. The hair dressers
have struggled hard to NEST the re.
qulrements of the fashion, however,
and they can turn out pretty good
imitation of the real thing, provided
tue subject is not u brunette, whose
hair is or tue blue black variety.
Actresses wear red Wigs on the
stage and have their hair dyed to the
proper shade for the street. Theatri-
cal managers do not encourage. the
fad, however, because ,thsy, say, it is n
hard matter TO provide costumes that
wall go well with the new shade.
y. In Paris the wnite horse pleasantly
has not died out, ami red headed
woman is the signal for smile in that
city yet. But it is gradually dying
out, and it will not be long before the
fad will spread to the music hnlls.

q large circle of persons. She was
not great novelist. But she certain
ly had the gift of doing work OF q
healthy, popular sort. Like Mrs.
Maxwell (Miss Braddon), Mrs. Hun
gerford's output was immense. Yet
there was never any slovenliness in
her dialogue, for which she had a
great gift. In fact, SO much was this
go, that many wondered that she did
not turn her attention seriously to
play writing. To find the same light
ness of touch and felicity of phrase
one had to go TO France for one like
her. To less degree she had
some of the qualities of the ever

Struck by MeteOrs.

Somebody has said it is rather cur
ious that in view of the number Of
meteorites that fall to the earth every
year no one has ever been killed or
hurt by one. This is u mistake. In
the year GIG meteoric stone fell in
China, shattering cart and killing
ten men. 1t may be asserted that the
population of the Mongolian empire is
SO dense that it would be difficult to
miss Chinese. But other countries
have known similar accidents. About
the close of the seventeenth century a
Captain Willmann reported that two
of his sailors were killed at sea by the
fall of nine-wound meteorite.
Not long after this monk was killed
near Milan in the same way, while a
meteor which fell near New Concord
in 1860 broke a railroad tie in two.

FASHION NOTES.

A very small, round hat has wings
standing out from either side OF the
front of the crown. Back of these is
a bunch of bird-of-paradise feathers,
very long, but quite closely curled.
The brim of this hat is edged with
velvet roses.
Afternoon tea tollettes are becoming
very elaborate works of art. The
most stylish and elegant are of satin
brocade, silk velvet and rich, soft
silks, all lace-trimmed. Some are
made with pronounced trains and

lessons NAGGING,

Mr.. N. Cos Stewart, the President
of the Cleveland (Ohio) Sorosis, is an
enthusiastic believer in the good wo-
men derive from club life. "The club
influence" she said at recent meet
ing of her society, "goes right into
the home. 1t makes women better
natured. They nag less after they be-
long to clubs because they see them
selves in true perspective. Women
who take no interest in affairs outside
the walls OF their own homes get an
exaggerated idea of their own i'm
portance aud OF their trials and vexa-
tions. They become cross because
their husbands do not see that their
molehill troubles are as welghty as
mountains. Then they fret and tune.
Let woman join club, and she soon
learns that she is not of great i'm
portance, after all. Association on an
equal footing with other women soon
smooths down the sharp corners and
makes woman more lovable and even
tempered"
Mrs. Stewart also thinks that club
experience makes women better finan-
cial managers in their homes. "The
interests of the club tend to stimulate
the mental faculties. The woman who
learns to think can make dollar go
three times as far as one who does not
exercise her judgment. Give woman
brains and S5 IN money, and she will
make her funds go as far as a stupid
woman can with SIS. That is O. true
statement, and can be substantiated
by instances. Five dollars, plus brains,
will do as much as $15, minus brains. I"
