apology need be offered after this ex-
PLANTATION, and with II accord I'm
sure friends will agree with Daisy
that wig wearing is the lesser evil.
/ don't believe men will criticise this
new feminine craze harshly, but will
find in the fad an excuse for covering
their own polished pates.
The eraliest wigs were subjected to
the ridicule of classic authors, one
of whom %recounted the mishap of a
his defect from the public. One day
he appeared in the crowded campus
on horseback, when a gust of wind
suddenly whisked of his wig and eX-
posed his glistening pate to the
laughter of thousands. But his head
was better furnished within than
without, and he exclaimed: What
wonder that false hair flies from him
whose own hair has first deserted"
Speaking of wigs, it is a curious cir
cumstance as well as a matter of his
tory that some Roman statues were
fitted with movable marble wigs. That
of Lucilla, wife of the Emperor Lu-
cius Verus, in the museum of the
capitol at Rome, has a detachable wig
of black marble, and in the vatican is
a Venus, believed to represent the
mother of an emperor, with hair that
may be removed. The bust of a wo-
mar with a marble wig occupied a
prominent place in the palace of Sans
Souci at Potsdam. Martial, the wit
of his time, happily paraphrased an
epigram:
The golden hair that Gala wears
Is hers. Who would have thought it?
She swears' tbs hers, and true she swears.
For / know where she bought IL.
AS a matter of fact, women in gen.
eral understand less of couture posi-
bilities than Of any other point pertain
ing to their ensemble. I've looked up
the subject and give you the gist of a
treatise by an expert on the mode OF
arranging t~resses. The pompadour is
out, the bang in. A central part be-
comes only the woman of broad intel
lectual brow, who will aptly suggest to
her younger sister the a~dvisability OF
bangs are not de rigueur, and only
straight fringe or a delicate "beau
catcher proclaims the fashion. Loose
knots Or satiny braids \escr1 pina

erewise. The square. heavy jawed wo-
man should not wear her hair close
to her head or low upon her brow.
The low bang brings into relief the
hard lines of her face and the animal,
fighting tendencies. An artistic bal
ance is attained, and a suggestion OF
womanly strength and vital power is
brought out by the fluffy, broad effect.
Square jawed women should remem-
Der to give broad lines on the upper
part of the head in order to subdue
the heavy contour of the lower part of
the face. The short faced, chubby
woman must also avoid arranging her
hair low on her forehead and allowing
it to fluff out at the sides.
Many women who have round eyes,
knobby little noses and round mouths
have a singular tendency to wear their
hair in water waves, a habit which on
ly increases the impression of rotund-
ity and cilubbiness. The girl whose faco
is formed on the conspicuously circular
plan needs the length only to be OBJ
tanned nv dressing the hair in high and
narrow style. An error frequently
committed by women whose eyes are

If you wash a veil that has been worn
a few times, the water will be found to
be muddy. So the wearing of the veil
will make the complexion muddy and
promote the growth of black heads.
You may think that so little a thing
as a veil worn now and then cannot
harm anyone. That reminds me of a
visit l paid to a friends house. in
which there was somewhere in my
room a mysterious leak in the gas pipe.
1t was not a large enough leak to kill,
but it was enough to give me a terrible
headache and keep me from sleeping.
So with a veil. While you may think
it is doing little harm the injury may
be so slow and insidious that only when
it is too late will it be regretted.
If the veil must be worn occasional
ly, when there are high winds, in order
to keep the hair from becoming disar-
ranged, it should be of the most open
mesh and the lightest material. The
least harmful veil, If you can afford it,
is of read white lace, because 1t can be
frequently washed. 1t should be so

Nowadays women in wigs journey
through the streets utterly uncon-
Gerned by insolent stares or audible
comments. This statement may seem
a trifle farfetched to the non-obser-
want, but just you watch, and in the
passing throng you'll see my asser-
ton verified. Follows naturally the
question, Why is it SO? There are
two reasons. The woman of crimps
and curls, who has been a nightly at
tendant at some social function or
other, wants to give her hair a rest,
to do which she must wear a wig. Her
sister, the foolish virgin who per-
mitted her French hairdresser to over
persuade her in the use of peroxide,
has repented. To hide her sin from
prying eyes she follows the example,
coming forth in colored coils and
braids of natures choosing. No

Paris mailed her color cards a fort
night ago. Consequently the avenue
shop windows are dedicated to the dis
play of novel shades with fanciful
names. Cyrano demands close inspec-
ton to determine whether it be the god
child of p~etunia or heliotrope. A near
view of Domino rose fails to establish
its identity with either the church vest
ments of the Dominican monks or a
more worldly kinsman formerly known
as vieux rose. Suffice it to say. it is the
color par excellence and the choice in
the many spring notables. La Fontaine
is an OK blood red, Fashoda a robins
egg blue, prevenche a lavender and
Lohengrin a dove gray. That the
names are perfectly meaningless seems
to have nothing to do with the case.
No one would ever dream that ~electri-
que designated a light gray, and down
the entire list is found the same lack
of reaso for the names attached to
new tints.

Washington, June 27.-Secretary AL

Washington in denying that he has
any intention of resigning his position
IN the cabinet at present.
To callers at his house the secretary
talked freely regarding his announced
candidacy for senatorial honors and of
the printed statement of the probabili-
ty of his leaving the cabinet because of
his alliance with Governor Pingree,
who, it is stated, is opposed to the ad-
ministration of President Mckinley.
He made it plain to his questioners
that he did not intend to resign on
this account, as he does not consider
his candidacy for the senate any rea-
son why he should not continue his
position as a member of the cabinet.
Governor Pingree, the secretary added,
is for President Mckinley first, last,
and all the time.
