THE ROMANTIC CURL.

The curl is decided feature of this
seasons cOiffure. Not the curl in the
middle of the forehead or on the nape
OF the neck, either waved tress or friz-
zette, is meant by this, but a round
glossy, cylindrical curl, unbroken in
outline and capable of "bobbing" in
captivating fashion with each motion
OF the wearer. "Wearer" is the correct
term, for many Of these curls are nut
on and do not grow on the heads they
ornament.
There are coiffures for the street with
dainty short curls cropping out in s.ll

CARE FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN

CARE FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN.
A band of young wolNen Of leisure,
who are doing a beautiful work, de-
vote themselves to caring for crippled
children. They learn OF the little un-
fortunates through the different hos
pitfalls, and then, when they are no long
er under the physicians care, and 80
home, perhaps, invalids for life, each
member of the society takes one Of
the children under her wing to teach,
to amuse, to help IN whatever way she
can. Certain days are g.Sen to the
visits to ones protege, and the work
carried on is systematic if the child
is well. Ii feeble Or Ill, music and
games and little talks take the place
of a course of instruction. Self-help
and development are, however, always

YOUR HIGH HAT OBSTRUCTS
MY VIEW OF THE STAGE.
KINDLY REMOVE IT.

These cards are placed in a conspicu.
Gus spot in the lobby, and a good many
are carried into the house. Yes, and
used, too. 1t is said that occasionally
really obstinate woman will receive
as many as halt dozen cards before
she finally yields. OF course, some do
not yield at all, but their evenings en-.
jOyment can't be very complete.
Men have grown wonderfully bold
over this high hat nuisance, and the
most basht Ill among them no longer
hesitate to ask an abatement of the Of
fense.
Not long ago the wife of prominent
young business man, whose name has
attained something Of national repu.
tatiOn, wore her new opera bonnet to
th" opera house. 1t was just a little
bunch of almost nothing, and was as
much different from high hat as a
curbstone is from billboard. She
t1iun't take it off, because she never
dreamed that it could annoy anybody.
What was her surprise to feel gentle
tap on her shoulder, and to hear high
but unmistakably masculine voice re-
mark
"Will you please remove your hat,
Miss"
OF course the offending headgear
came off at once, the petitioner in the
rear seat murmuring very self-satis-
fed Thanks as the little bonnet dis
appeared.
The bonnet's owner didn't get look
at the hat annihilator until the play
was over. Then she turned as she
arose.
He was freckled boy of possibly
fifteen years.--Cleveland Plain Dealer.

5 STREET SHOES ARE SENSIBLE.

C1AGEl SlOES ANE SUNOlDLL,
Pointed toe shoes for women will not
be seen much this winter. 1t has be-
come the fashion for women to walk
a great deal, and to do so they must
have plenty Of room for their toes In
rough weather particularly the pointed
shoes that seem to be the right thing
In fair weather are not to be tolerated.
A favorite boot for w<nter will be
almost as high as a bicycle boot, laced
or buttoned, with round toes and square
heel. 1t will be comfortable boot to
go with the rainy day costume.
1t is not the thing now to wear pref
" boots in the street. They are kept
for the house and for carriage wear.
House slippers are seen in many de-
signs. They are Of brown or black pat
ent leather, and are ornamented with
buckles, set with jewels, real or imita-
ton. The object Is to obtain a dash.
ing effect, and it is not necessary to
have real diamond buckles to do this.
A pretty slipper is of white and black
striped satin, and many slippers in diff.
ferent cOlors are made with white
enameled heels.
For slipper to wear at the bedside
there is nothing daintier than the lit.
tie affair Of red morocco, turned up at
the toe with the Turkish curve that we
admire so much in comic opera. In her
own boudoir woman may be as fan
clful as she pleases, and she can al
ways do this in the matter of slippers.

his private car 80 for the south.
TIE fact that Mr. Brown was joined
last night by r. ]. Mcclure, Of Chi
cago. chief engineer Of the road, led
to the revival OF the talk as to the
Burlington's interest in the Cres-
cent bridge enterprise, and the pes.
sibility Of something definite as to
the Twentieth street depot pro-
ject. The rumor that Mr.. Mcclure
had come from Muscatine, in the
minds of some gave rise to q reaf-

the Mississippi here. and put in that
much discussed cut Of, connecting
its main line at Fairfield and at Mem

In shortening the distance between
Chicago and She southwest. In such
an event the section Of the road
from Barstow in aad through Rock
Island would become . portion Of the
new main line thus to be established.
Mr.. Brown, however, asserted en-.
phaiically that his present business
in Rock Island had nothing whatever
to do with the lower bridge. He
stated that be had been devoting
most Of his time while here to the
Quincy bridge, which the company
is rebuilding.

Asked as to the report that the
company was negotiating for more
land contiguous to that owned by it
east Of Twentieth street, MIR. Brown
said that no negotiations of that kind
were under consideration, and that
the Burlington was not seeking any

When pressed for something definite

manager stated that he had every
reason to believe the coming spring
would witness the actual commence.
