The reign of the pompadour is on the
wane. Gradually it is getting smaller.
Now bit of the thickness is left out
of the bunch on the side; again a lit
tie is taken away from its height.
Slowly but surely 1t is losing its infla-
ton, surely getting tatter and hatter.
Thus far the new mode is excellent,
Tor it always is delightful when the
shape of a woman's head stands out
clearly. But, alas, Dame Fashion has
no wish to see the hair of her subjects
dressed plainly, SO she has begun to
suggest the saucer bang! Paris al

and so have those American women
who always try the new styles with

nothing TO the Goebel party, nothing TO
the Taylorites, and both sides know it.
Merit brought the office TO her, and
merit holds it for her, but there is wide
personal popularity, too, and the fac

hat to her neutrality.
Many a woman might falter in such
a situation, but Margaret Ingalls, is of

reared in the little town of Paris,
where feuds have been fierce and

A German professor brings new
count into the indictment against long
dress skirts. He condemns them as a
frequent promoter of neuralgia pains
brought on by n constant holding up
of the dress. The height of stupid
folly is reached by wearers of these
skirts when the silken petticoat be
meath is also allowed to train. The
fashion is suitable only for reception
gowns when carriages are used. The
thoroughly modish woman never
thinks of wearing them on her shop
ping or walking trips. To see deli
cate silk petticoat trailing on the pave
ment, a heavy cloth skirt held tightly
around 1t little above the ankles is a
common and most irritating sight.

the commission 10 an artist and had
the portrait painted To present to the
Corcoran Art gallery. 1t represents
Miss Anthony in full profile, attired in
black. with lace 1T the throat. and
about her shoulders the historic red silk
shawl. which gives the picture exactly
the coloring that ii needs.
1t is a fine likeness. the only criti-
cism that could possibly be made he
ing that not all the strength of her
character is in evidence. Miss Antho
ny looked at it with much pleasure
Am l really as nice looking as that
she asked.
