MIR. ruNsTEN TO LEAVE US.

He Win Be Consecrated Bishop of
Idaho April 9th. in Trinity Church.
The beloved rector of Trinity Episco-
pal Church. the Rev. ]. B. Funston.
will be among us for a few more days
and then he will take his departure for
his new far away Western home. Boise
City, Idaho, as Bishop of the Diocese
of Boise. which great honor this rever-
end gentleman not many months ago
declined, to the great joy of his par
ishoners.
This news will be received with sor-
row, not only by the members of Trim
ity Church. but by all the people of the
city of Portsmouth and surrounding
section. for few men in the ministry of
the Episcopal or other churches has en-
deared himself more to the hearts of
the people than has Mr.. Funston.
Some time last November Mr.. Fun
stem was selected as the Bishop of
Idaho by the House OF Bishops of the
Episcopal Church, which met In the
City of Washington. d. c.. But after
prayerful consideration he declined, to
accept the honor and so announced to
his congregation. and 1t was thought
that the matter was thus settled for all
time. and his friends gathered about
him with more affection, if possible,
than ever.
Then Judge of the CONSERVATION OF his
membership Monday night when Mr..
Funsten announced to the vestry of the
church that the matter of his accept
ance of the Bishopric of the diocese of
Boise had been reopened and that he
mad reconsidered his former declination
or the high ecclesiastical office, and
would announce his position in the
matter in the near future
The near future arrived yesterday
when he said that with the approval
or the authorities under whose admin
fstration he would be consecrated. he
would accent the Bishopric rendered.
as he had been led to believe that his
path of duty lay in that field.
WILL LEAVE; MAY 1ST.
The date of the conservation of Mr..
Funsten as Bishop has been fixed for
Thursday the 9th day of the present
month. and the impressive ceremonies
attending the elevation of a rector to a
Bishop will take Mace in Trinity
Church of this city.
Mr.. Funeten will then make imme-
date preparations to leave for his new
field of labor, the LIST of May or some
time thereabouts. that being all the
time he will require to get into perfect
shape all of his affairs here. The Do
cese of Boise is one of the most ex-
tensive ecclesiastical districts in this
country, comprising, as 1t does. south
ern Idaho and western Wyoming.

Mr.. Martin Leavitt. q, we'll known and
highly respected young citizen of Ports

afternoon about $3.50 O'Clock In Berkeley,
which will for all time deprive him OF
one of his hands.
He was an employe of the Belt Line,
in the capacity of brakeman. and was
engaged in coupling cars when unfort-
unately his hand was caught between
the buffers and crushed. Medical aid
was summoned when 1t was discovered
that the hand had been too badly in
jured to be saved and amputation was
performed.
The young man resides on County

OF his misfortune with deep regret. He

wind. The bits of gauze sprinkled with
dots of black now worn for hat pur-
pose are not any protection against
the cold and do a great deal of harm
to the skin and to the eyes. They are
not only worn by adults, but by little
girls of IA and Is.
This fine lace mask-for it IS moth
ing more or less-is often meant 10
hide the imperfections of the complex
ion, which the veil itself has done much
to foster.
The circulation of the blood is greatly
hindered by the veil, and without a
good circulation no woman may hope
to be a picture Of wholesome lowell
ness. The blood vessels carry to the
different parts of the facial tissue not
only the nutritious ingredients needed
to build it up. but they also carry away
the waste. Some of this wastematter
is exuded through the pores OF the skin,
and the veil prevents the wind from
blowing it off the surface. When the
same is worn NAM times, The fabric
| gathers up this waste and, instead of
protecting it, but adds to the dangers
of the skin by causing it to absorb
poisonous matter which it has previous
ly cast off.
Women think that the veil is Of use
in protecting their faces from the dust
which blows from the street. Without a
veil the next breeze would probably
carry the dust away, but the veil keeps
the fact heated and the dust is likely TO
be absorbed by the pores. The dye used
in the manufacture of the veil is an
other bad influence, for it is likely to be
taken up.
The skin needs the friction Of the air
to keep it in good condition. To prove
the difference between the skin masked
by a veil and one free to the air take
two plants, place them side by side so
that the conditions of air and light and
moisture MAJ be otherwise equal, then
cover one of the plants with 4 thin
gauze veil. You will DON notice that
the yelled plant grows droopy and life
less.

the plant which drinks in through the

too near the top of their heads is made
by parting the hair in the middle and
arranging in scallop fashion. Women
whose eyes are so placed in their
heads that the lower parts of their
faces exceed in a great degree the
length of the upper parts should never
wear their hair over their ~foreheads.
If the chin is heavy, a low cut bang
brutalizes the face or gives it a mascu-
line appearance. The face is apparent
ly sp~iritualjzed by allowing the hair to
float away from the forehead in a POM
padour. One of the prettiest styles OF
the day, which is eminently fit for this
type of face and also for the type
known as the japanese, is to brush
back from the face and coil loosely.
The direct opposite of the type with
the eyes too near the top of the head
are in women with their eyes set too
far down in their faces, which brings
their lack of facial proportion into
prominence. The high fluffy mode of
arranging the bang will place their
eyes much "out of drawing" and give
a childish expression, ~detracting from
the womanly dignity and sweetness of
a n unpleasing type. Bringing the
hair down ever the forehead with pretty

dour style, with waves arranged close

by those whose eyes are set too low.
Women who Unfortunately arrange
their hair in the Madonna style are to
be rebuked, for none ave the Italian
type can wear this mode advantageous

soft eyes, finely chiseled nose and deli
cately oval chin look ideally sweet and

wearing the hair like looped curtains a

COUNTESS A RED CROSS NURSE.
DAISY MAY.

The Red Cross society of Philadelphia
has enrolled among its list of nurses a
Russian countess who goes modestiy un-
der the name of Mrs. Eliza Trotzig. The
story of her ministrations among the
American soldiers is a story of self denial,
un~assuIning work, hardships and excite
ments. Countess Trotzig belongs TO a
noble and wealthy Russian family. Her
grandfather was Russian ambassador 10
Sweden and met there a young countess
with whom he fell violently in owe They
were afterward married and their son was
the father of the present countess, who is
now a Red Cross nurse.
The countess resembles her Swedish an
cestors in coioring. She is tall and fair,
with blue eyes and a mass of fluffy hair,
on which her nurses cap sits most be-
coming4y. Her husband died some time
ago. and she has devoted herself since 10
deeds of mercy. Early in the Cuban strEg-
gle for Independence She cast aside the
ties that bound her to Russia and went to

will then know how to obscure bad
features and improve good ones.
A most important detail that too few
consider is the proper direction in
which to comb their hair. They liter
allv toss their tresses together without
any attention to the natural inclination
of the individual strands or fibres.
They comb their hair against the
grain Those who do never have
beautifully and smoothly arranged
coiffures. Each little hirsute filament
has a rebellious tendency to go in the
direction nature intended it should and
refuses to stay where it is put" giving
the head in consequence an unkempt
and what is termed an "unIadylike" ap-
pearance.
The difference between the women of
| the smart set and those of less fashiol-
able circles is due in a great measure
to the beautifully dressed coiffures Of
the former. A hairdresser arranges
at least once a week the hair of the
! modish woman. if her maid does not
understand the art of hairdressing.
Many women of the wealthy world,
like Mrs. George Gould, have their
maids taught by a French coiffeur.
The properly undulated Golf is sup
posed to last a week.
Although pompadours, undulated
tresses and the low Golf are extremely
fashionable and very attractive, as
may be observed in the three sketches
of modish colts, of course the wise
woman will adopt the prevailing mode
with discretion. Even if it has been
boldly declared that the woman who
does not now undulate her hair is de-
cidedly an old-fashioned sister, the
woman to whom it is u~nbecOming
should consider her own individuality
and effect a compromise in styles.
What is essentially appropriate for
one woman may be fatally inappro-
| pirate for another. Delicate faced
women with peaked chlns should avoid
broad effects above their brows. The
wedge shaped face is perceptibly i'm
proved by arranging the hair in soft
waves closely confined to the head
and. by fixing a coil or high pun, to
give the desirable oval effect to the
face that does not characterize It 9TH

brought into prominence and the
length of the head apparently exagger-
ated. In such cases loosely arranged
tresses with short, dangling curls
transform the face almost m~agically.
Now for a word to this DANES anti
thesis. The snubbed nose girl, by fix
ing her hair in a bunlike coil-which
all are prone to do-gives the impress
sion that her couture is held by invis-
ible strings to her nose, which gets a
more elevated look than it otherwise
would have, because of the bad angle
at which the coil is placed. AS l be-
long to this latter class, I've natuarrly
made an exhaustive study of how to
obtain the best results, finding a knob
at the nape of the neck, hair freely I'M
dulated, with tiny tendrils floating at
will, is rather the ideal couture for be-
ings with "tip tilted" noses.
In arranging the hair it should be
remembered that a small, shapely head
is a beautiful and enviable endowment,
and the hair, no matter what the pre-
vailing fashion may be, should be plac-
ed so as to display every fortunate line
to advantage.
