beii-mouthed sleeves, Q pompadOur
headdress or a Pysche knot would be
az shocking as q folding bed In a
Louis XVI boudoir- The proper ar
rangement with the aforementioned
type of gown would be a couture pin
ned rather low upon the back of the
head. and q straight around eoronet
of blossoms and delicate green form
foliage.
On the other hand, for the proper
adjustment OF a squash hat and the
framing of an oval face the hair must
be rolled forward to almost obscure
the forehead This is technically and
properly called the Romney wave. and
Is most becoming to youngish faces.
From the full. soft roll of hair that
almost touches the eyebrows the tres
ses are aeeply onduled back to where
a little outstanding tuft. which in the
evening serves to add incnes to the
veaFer's slender height, and by day il
is the anchor to which her velvet hat
is made secure.
Handsome young matrons and the
very stately girls affect with their
ball and dinner dresses the couture
de fOpera For this a dash OF hair
powder is called into service; silver.
gold or pure white are equally popu-
lar and effective, and when the whole
silky suit is softly drawn up to a
small knot on the top of the head. a
couple O. tall black feathers. spring
ing from a rose OF gold or tissue. are
set a trifie TO one Sue Of il.
For the morning and indoors the
head dress is simple indeed. The full
gypsy side rolls, white, straight cen.
trail part. a couple of long, pearl-top-
ped combs and soft coil at Tie rear
is the most modish way of combing
ones self for breakfast and when
serving as luncheon hostess.
In Paris, whence we get our hair
powders and the Romney and Opera
couture. it is not the fashion to wear
hair ornaments. The American wo-
man is, however, growing amazingly
independent of the Paris fashions, and
she wears sundry coquettisn ,ilile
TRIES in her admirably arranged
head. Big balls of gold threaded and
plated black tulle. from when a black
and gold aigrette springs. is one of her
favorite ornaments. A flight of blue
and black spangled gauze butterflies
lowering on wires among a constella-
ton of wired brilliants. is another cap
tivating device. Three tiny Whit os-
trich tips busted with gold powder
and springing from q jeweled hairpin
top quivers and ghstens over many
heads at the opera houses and on ball
room floors. while there is no decora-
ton more popular than coronet of
five gauZe and silver roses mounted
about the topmosr loop of the Romney
couture.
A young matron here in this town
or some other town who-well, her
enemies say she fiirts outrageously,
and even her friends admit that she
takes rather more of an interest in
persons of the masculine gender than
her husband would like if he knew
about it. One of the objects of her
especial interest sent her just a trifiing
remembrance for the jour de Ian. 1t
was stick pin, fashioned in the shape
of two tiny intertwined hearts, with
a pearl in one of them. He sent it up
by messenger, and Just as she was ad-
miring it, and the sentiment which
prompted the sending of it, in came
her husband.
Whats hat, my dear?" he asked
She is a woman of quick wit A
woman with her ways, be it said,
needs to be-.
Oh she said, Il didn't mean you
TO see this till next week. It's scarf
pin bought for your birthday"
The gentleman took it and gave
thanks. Next day when he came home
to dinner his scarf was adorned with
a scarf pin of quite another pattern
II knew you wouldn't mind, Julia"
said he as he called her attention to
it. but as | was passing the jewelers.
today | went IN and exchanged the
pin you gave me for this. l knew
you'd rather have me have one I'd like
to wear. and men don't care for any
pattern so sentimental as hearts. you
know. The jewelers. name was on the
box: but. my dear girl. wouldn't have
had you buy me anything so expensive
If had known it. You mustn't be ex-
travagant. dearie. or you'll bankrupt
me-
Personally, | think this story ought
to be published in tracts. for the moral
of it fairly cries aloud.

transport Lawton, for Manila. to wed
Lieutenant A. ]. Dougherty, is next to
the youngest of the Along girls. She
met her fate two years ago when the
