some of the cnic coiffures our smartest
American ladies have adopted for the
completion Of their evening toilets. AS is
usual. the tan. dark women secure the
very best results with their ornaments
Miss Virginia Fair has rather adopted
as her speciality an arrangement OF her
bue-black hair with gold spangled morse
wings on the left side from crown to
brow, a narrow white part shows, and
then, iooped low across her forehead, the
smooth tresses are drawn. All the bulk
of her hair is brushed and twisted up in
a lofty loop at the very apex of he head
and fastened 10 this are four narrow black
tule wings Two of these are at least SIX
or eight inches long. the other iwo are
somewhat shorter, and all of them are
50 powdered with spangles, and SO ert-
fully adjusted to the hair by wires that
they wave and glitter al every slightest
motion of the wearers head.
Mrs Astor is another notable who has
laid claim 20 the tall black toP-knot
suited 10 her fine brown hair. Not one of
these women, it is noticeable, permits
even a suggestion of curl on her fore
head, and youthful Mrs. Astor. like Miss
Fair, puts up her locks clean as Che comb
viii do il from neck and forehead, and
pins a stately coil a little in front of the
crown point. To this coil is then fastened
an eighi-in0h tan bow made of black
wire tightly wound with black tule, on
which diamond spangles are fastened.

DON'T OPEN THE TARIFF DOOR
Fear Flood of Products From Porto
Rico and Philippines.

Savannah, Ga. Dec. 20 Meetings Of
the Savannah River Rice Growers AS
ISOLATION and of the Truck Growers As
ISOLATION have been called to take steps
against the admission of Porto Rico and
the Philippine Islands within the tariff
wall of the United States. The associa-
ton will cooperate with the sugar pro
ducing interests of Louisiana. 1t Is
pointed out that both Porto Rico and
the Philippines are producers of rice.
With the tariff bars let down they would
grow immense quantities of rice, with
coolie labor, and flood our markets, to
the ruination of the home rice interests.
And the same applies TO sugar. Porto
Rico is as close to the Northern markets
for truck and vegetables as Savannah
and Jacksonville. If Porto Rican fruits
and vegetables were let in free, they
would catch the cream and profit Of the
Northern market. 10 the detriment of the
growers in Georgia and Florida.
