F~.hionabI. side Combs.

Despite the fact that side combs for
the hair come in such cheap limitations
at present and are 70 universally worn
IS To be positively common they are an
absolute necessity for the prevailing
mode Of hairdressing Ii Is impossible
to maintain the broad effect at the side
which Il de rigueur today without the
aid of these combs. and though the fash

but to accept the side comb, though in
such style aud at such rIice az to
render it inaccessible 70 the woman
whose pocketbook is not well filled
The latest and most fashionable combs
are small, Of shell or amber, handsome
ly decorated with finely cut steel.
Sometimes the steel is merely narrow
band of beads; again it is arabesque, or
painted, or rounded, or "a series of flower
de-luce or clover leaves. The variety is
limitless, and as they are expensive and
not very easily copied III cheaper comb
they are considered very chic.
The matron or maiden who possesses
a stock of unset gems has her combs of
gold or silver set with precious stones,
and many women who are known to be
the owners of beautiful jewels and who
would never be suspected of wearing an
imitation gem buy the almost perfect
counterparts of their real gems which
are shown i'll the shops i'll order to pre-
serve their more expensive combs. They
urge i'll explanation that the combs are
SO apt to fall out Of the soft, fluffy rolls
of hair.
Amber combs just at present seem to
be- more i'll favor than the darker shell,
especially for woman with moderately
light or real blond hair The most up
to date ones are studded with colored
stones for evening wear and if careful
ly chosen to harmonize or contrast with

1t has now become the fashion To
have what are called demiseason cos
tunes, and not only gowns, but hats as
well. This is decided innovation, for
in olden times ii was only considered
necessary to provide oneself with thor
ough outfits for summer and winter,
but nov spring and autumn require just
as careful looking after and apparently
just as many clothes. In the early
spring and early autumn people former
ly did not mind looking little shabby
Now it is expected that not only should
the gowns that have been worn for some
time be freshened up, brushed and re
furnished, but it is required that abso-
lutely new gowns shall appear. Fortu-
nately, while such gowns must be smart
and new and give hint of what the
style of the coming season is to be, they
are not necessarily expensive
Light wool goods are greatly in favor
for the spring demiseason. They are a
little too light i'll color as we'll as in
texture to wear in the street until the
spring fairly sets in, but they are very
charming for house wear Those seen
now are mostly i'll the wood colors and
the gray. The hats are all what might
be called decorative III effect, quite gaudy
and as arule of light felt. Besides these
light colored gowns and gaudily trimmed
bats there are also many very charming
wraps and "a few velvet gowns. These
last are without exception imported
gowns and certainly advance cuuriers Of
what we are to expect next winter. -

About 20 years ago young Phlladel-
phia woman, the daughter of physi-
elan and tayorite in exclusive society,
startled her friends by appearing at one
of the hunt club meets riding her horse
astride. She was skillful horsewoman.
and she defended her innovation by say
ing that she could get more speed out Of
her mount with more safety for herself
at the jumps by riding man fashion
than was possible with the regulation
side saddle.
Nevertheless the other women looked
vt her frowningly, and her father open
~ expressed his displeasure. Even the
men did not regard her with favor, and
she felt and looked decidedly uncom-

Wood carving is rapidly coming into
favor with Chicago society women.
Hull House is the rallying point for the
entire fraternity, as it is here that the
Chicago Arts and Crafts society was
organized, and here its principal meet

known wolpen of the wood carving fra

known to her neighbors as "Ye Little

but unique Being unable TO find in the
"open market the kind of furniture
which she desired, she courageously de-
termined to learn how to make it. At
first her decorative attempts were of the
simplest character, but as she grad ually
acquired better use of her tools she
broadened the scope of her work and
essayed more difficult tasks, until there
are now few women who would attempt
to excel her in either originality of de-
sign or skill of execution
Her LATEST and perhaps most notable
piece is wood box, the front of which
is covered by a design symbolic of the
fire god Even the heavy metal hinges
of the box bear testimony to her fine
craftsmanship, for she works IN metal

deliberately carved, it is also enriched

that the men we're prepared for any
unpleasantness. No gamblers were
found in the room, and no game was
going on when the police entered.

table had disappeared, but could
possibly have been found under the
bed of Mr.. -, who has taken care
