THE NEWEST STLYES
IN WINTER COFFURES.

Among smart Women, Because it
Lends Youth to the Face.
The newest thing in hairdresSing is
the part at the side. 1t has come in
on a wave of popularity and it is al
ready the rage. 1t is becoming to al
o every face.
Mrs James Brown Potter started
this fashion. She was clever enough
10 see that it was a style that made a
face look youthful. and was immedia-
ately followed in setting this fashion
by Mrs, CORVALLIS West. formerly
Lady Randolph Churchill. 1t is sus-

A quantity Of hair is no longer de-
sirable for arranging the newest Golf
fures. The greatest care should be
taken in the waving. This is apt to
betray the hand OF the amateur, The
waves should be soft, not very pro-
uounced, and never fuzzy. a. is often
the case.

Then losely catch back the waved

PARIS, FRANCE, October 4.-The
tiding that furs will be extremely fash
ionable will not be welcome this sea-
son; they are high in price and it is
impossible to secure a good skin with
out paying for it.
Baby Persian lamb, the leader IN
cost, is hard to obtain and Persian
lamb seal and sable are held above
the average purse.
American furs are everywhere
sought; and, instead OF ranking as in
ferior grades, they are considered ev-
cry whit as good as the much priced
Russian and Caucasian skins. They
are more moderate, too, in price and
you get excellent seal for a little o
than half the price of the Asiatic seal.
Furs are put to more varied and nu-
merous uses than in previous seasons.
The fur coat is seen in more styles ana
as for fur trimmings they are positive
ly legion. In coats the fashionable
length is the pretty half length. Fun
automobiles are displayed but their
weight makes them undesirable. They
have a way Of lining them very lightly
SO as not to weight down the back, but
even so the fur Goa that hangs to the
heels is never a light garment.
The smallest and prettiest boleros
are made of fur. They are cut off al
most under the shoulder blades and
are worn over a tight hitting cloth coat.
The fur Elton is longer and in moderate
weather can be worn without the cloth
coat underneath. For plump figures
this fur Elton is becoming; and. if nice
lv shaped around the waist line. tends
to diminish the size of the figure on
siderably.
They make delightful combination
jackets, half cloth and half fur. One
of these shows a vest of fur set under a
coat of cloth. The coat has broad la
pels that urn sharply. back, disclosing
the vest of fur. The vest is cut into a
point that terminates at the waist line.
Far Trimmings.
Fur cuffs are worn with the little
cloth and fur coats. Many of these
are large laring cuffs that turn back
from the hand like Robespierre. One
of the most novel OF the fur cuffs was
placed at the elbow where it nared
backward toward the shoulder. Below
the cuff of fur was a bishop sleeve of
cloth ending with another fiaring cuff
at the wrist.
Little basques of fur are to be placed
upon the cloth coats. They are five or
six inches deep and are set around the
waist line, so as TO fit tightly in at the
belt. Below the belt the fur flares to
give the very pretty basque effect. On
the same Jacket there are fiat fur cuffs
and a turnover collar of fur.
Nearly all the fur collars are very
tall. Some Of them are quite up around
the hat and all of them protect the
ears. There is one, rather newer than
the others, which is called a Russian
collar. 1t is tall and is lined so that it
becomes very thick. If allowed to stand
the collar would hide the hat, but it is
turned over to make a large round roll
ing collar Of fur. When turned over it
is tall enough to protect the ears.
Ermine is fashionable again, not in
the tiny ways of last season. but in

THE LOvELIEST WOMAN.
Margaret Fuller Would Have Ex-
changed Her Intellect for Emily
o Marshall's beauty.

Margaret Fuller once expressed the
willingness to exchange her fine intel.
lect and all her accomplishments for
the beauty and attractiveness of En-
lily Marshall (who had been her
schoolmate), writes William Perrine
Of "The Loveliest Woman in All
America" in the Ladies' Home Jour.
nal. miss Marshall stood before us a
reversion to that faultless type OF
structure which artists have imagined
in the past and to that ideal loveliness
Of disposition which poets have fancied
in the golden age" was the verdict Of a
Boston gallant, one of the fair beauty's
neighbors, recorded in after life, when
his judgment waS unpre JUDGED. Such
was the homage which the people of
Boston would sometimes bestow upon
Miss Marshall that one night when
Daniel Webster, then beginning his
career in the United States senate, Wis.
tied the Federal Street theater the ap-
plause which the audience showercd
upon him was not greater than the
cheers with which it welcomed the
divine Emily. In New York she caused
such sensation that one morning ten
gentlemen at one time were seen in her
escort, and GO left their cards for her.
When she went to such summer resorts
as Saratoga the crowds at the hotel
would form n lane through which she
might pass as they waited to view her
going to and from her coach, and it is a
Philadelphia tradition that when she
visited that city one of the schools was
closed earlier than the usual hour to
give the young girls a chance to see
the famous belle. Indeed. women
looked upon her with an admiration
which they seldom accord to beauties.

JUDGE AND HIS DOG.
An English Jurisfs Love for Anil
mails brings Him Into
Ridiculc.

1t is learned from the English papers
that Baron Brampton, longer and more
familiarly known as Sir Henry Hawk
ms, or as "Old AIRY 'Awkins"-as the
good people of London called him at
times-has just celebrated his eighty
third birthday. There is probably
none of Queen Nictoria's judges, either
on the active or on the retired list, who
knows so much of the seamy side of
life as does Baron Brampton. He is
the hero of more stories than have
been told Of any other occupant of the
judicial bench, living or dead. His con-
stant companion, and most devoted
friend, a singularly restless and clever
little terrier, figures in many of these.
For instance, once when the nervous
little animal was dragging his vener-
able master violently along by its
leash, member of the criminal classes.
who knew both master and dog very
well, indeed, called out loudly: "Why,
Bill, don't go it so ard, the old 'un isn't
blind!" Lord Brampton's excessive
love for animals on another occasion
prompted him to interpose when a
learned counsel had been talking about
"evidence to hang dog" and to ask
what would be sufficient evidence for
that purpose. THAT, m lud," replied
the lawyer, with significance, "would
depend very much on whom the dog
belonged to!"

THE CANDIDATES. RETORT.
An EIerttonecring Incident In Eng
land when the Candidate
Was Ahead.

The duke of Leeds recently cele-
brated his thirty-ninth birthday at
Hornby castle, near Bedale, where he
generally lives with the duchess and
his four little daughters when he is
not on board the Corisande enjoying
his favorite recreation of yachting.
The prospect from Hornby castle is a
magnificent one, overlooking, as it
does, one of the most beautiful of the
Yorkshire dales. The park is of great
extent and the timber exceptionally
fine, the greatest care having been be-
slowed on every individual tree.
The present duke is nephew of Lord
Sydney, Godolphin Osborne, the famous
correspondent (under his initials, S.
G. o. of the Times of former genera
ton, and father of the young priest Of
the Oratory, whose premature death
year or two ago was so widely regret
ted. His grace himself has ALWAYS
looked younger than his years and the
happy retort is not forgotten which
he once made on the hustings when
parliamentary candidate to voter
who called out to the boyish-leokins
speaker: Does your mother know
you're out?" "Yes, she does,- prompt.
ly rejoined Lord Carmarthen, as he was
then, land on Monday evening she'll
know I'm I'M" And so she did.

some of the most efficient servants of

doing business in Toxic for several
years, returned home recently, bring.

a Chinese nurst will hang her head
with shame il the baby cries. She
thinks it is all her fault. She hovers
over her charge with anxious care, and
makes great fuss il it appears that
anyone is going to behave imprudently
with the child. The stalwart father Of
the babies referred to used to go into
the nursery and toss the little ones
high in the air. But the nurse never
failed to demonstrate nervously: "You
will kill them in their insides," she said
The Chinese nurse expects to take en-
tire charge of the child, preparing
everything that ii eats and washing it's

country with the American babies
brought pebbles all the way from
Japan with which she cleaned the in

garded in Japan as much more reliable

AUTHOR MADE A HIT.
He Finally Drought His Novel to
Close In Advance of His
First Purpose.

One OF the most popular novels OF
the day had strangr history which
might have been considered fatal to
its success had it been considered In
advance. A New York author whose
books are always sure Of a certain de-
gree of popularity finished all but the
last few chap ers of a novel. Try as
he might, it was impossible for him
10 complete the story satisfactorily.
So he put the book away and for two
years it lay unfinished on his desk, al
though the author thought of the
work from time to time without be-
ing able to get any nearer the solu
ton of the plot, says the New York
Sun.
Finally he lost all hope Of ever COM
pleting the work and decided to end
1t at a point several chapters in ad-
vance Of that at which he had ceased
to write. With this abrupt and unex-
pected ending the novel went to pub
Usher, was accepted and turned out
one Of the most popular novels this
author has ever written. One of the
most praised features of the book is
its unconventional ending, which is
said to be just explicit enough to sat
isfy everybody without going into ar
tistic detail. And the author was at
one time so discouraged about the end
ing of the book that he had almost
given up the idea of submitting it to
any publisher.

CHINESE CIVIL SERVICE.
Attractive and Are Ea.
gerly Sought.

There is no fixed limit to the length
of time which Chinese customs as
sistant may spend at a port, says
ii. c. Whittlesey, in Atlantic. The
average period is about three years.
(he chances then are that man in
southern port will be ordered north,
or that one on the Iangtse will be
sent south. Promotion to the next
higher grade often accompanies a
transfer, and there is also the change
OF climate and the opportunity to see
and learn more of the land, it's Gus
toms and people. In the north the
foreigner has an excellent chance to
collect n variety of curios consisting
of old coins, pieces of porcelain, an
tique bronZes, and choice bits of en-
broidcry, while on the Yangtse and
in the south he can suit a critical
taste in selecting silk piece goods, sill
yer and gold articles of native work
manship, and wood and ivory carvings.
At the end of seven years a member
of the indoor staff completes his first
titled to go home fo- a two years hol-
iday, and also to receive one years
full pay as a gratuity. Upon his go
ing back to China for further service
the customs pay one-half of the cost
of his return fare. He then serves
five years more, when he completes
his second peroid, and can again go
home on two years leave and re-
ceive second gratuity-and so on for
as long as health and inclination may
permit. The conditions of an en-
gagement in the customs are consid-
cred usually attractive on account Of
the generous salary, security of posi-
ton, and prospect Of sure advance
ment. designations rarely occur, and
there are always more applicants
than there are vacancies.

Cat Fond OF Ice.

A tobacconist in South Fourth street
Is the owner of a one-eyed tom.cat,
which is an Ice fiend. The cats name is
Jerubbaal. He sits on his owners
doorstep every morning and waits for
the ice man, and when the latter puts
the customary cake Of ice on the pave
ment, preparatory to opening the door,
the cat eagerly runs to pick up the lit
tie pieces which are generally Clipped
of. The cat holes the ice in his
mouth until it dissolves. On occa-
sions the cat news until his owner
gets the pick and breaks off some
pieces for him. Summer or winter,
Jsrubbaal must have his ice.
