Tho great authorities who spoke with so
much assurance are all dead and it is
well for their comfort that they are.
In 1869 traffic between the west and the
east via the Cape OF Good Hope was about
3, 800, 600 tons. In 1897 the traffic through
the Suez canal was 7,S9S, 9Sl tons, whilo
that round the Cape of Good Hope was at

THE COIFFURE.
Variety Permissible In the style of
Wearing the HAIR

A waved and more or less fluffy couture
continues to be a fashionable requisite
The front hair is parted curled or drawn
back from the brow, according to taste,
but the forehead is, generally speaking,
more covered than has been the case of late
years. A the style in which the hair is
dressed affects the aspect of the face far
more than does any other item Of the toilet,
the first thing to be considered is what is
becoming. The question Of what peculiar
ity of coifiure happens to be in fashionable
favor ut the moment is of secondary i'm
portance. Generally speaking, low fore
head should always be left uncovered; n
high one should be at least partially shaded

and softened by the hair In any case
fluffy softness should never degenerate into
hyaway untidiness, and woman past mid
die age is wise if she restraints all exuber-
ancc of locks and adopts II smooth and
dignified type of couture, The arrange
ment of the back hair influences the face
far less than that of the front hair
The cut shows a gown Of pinkish gray
sicilienne, the slightly trailing skirt being
trimmed around the foot with two clus-
tiers of galloon bands of mixed steel gray
and pink. The close bodice is trimmed
with galloon in the same way, and has
embroidered bolcro fronts of gupure APP
plication on silk, enriched with steel and
multicolored spanglc, The bolero fronts
are elongated In straps which cross and
pass around to the back, where they arc

HAIR ORNAMENTS.
Various Decorations For the Golf

American women are less fond of hair

former frequently wears no pin, comb or
bow of any kind in the hair even in the
evening, whereas the latter considers a
flower, n knot of ribbon or some other dec
Grafton an essential part of the evening
toilet. Owing to the fact that the hair is
generally arranged at the top of the head
