MRS. SAB|N
CAUSED
Revolt.
Tried TO Bar Pompadour Hair
and Bright Ribbons From
a Brooklyn Choir.

Brooklyn. March 2l.-Pompadour hair
Is irreverentIal when worn by choir girls
I'm the opinion OF Mrs. Louise sabin, dea-
conness In the Protestant Episcopal
church or the Incarnation, Gates avenue.
Brooklyn. Ribbons, too, to her mind, ARE
an abomination In the sight OF the Lord"
The pretty girls who sing in the vol
unteer choir disagree with her. The re-
suit has been tears. protestations. a little
hair pulling and Mrs Sabin's resigna-
tion.
The Church OF the Incarnation has a
big membership OF wealthy Brooklyn
ties. Mrs. Sabin is a widow and lives at
No. lliC Butler street. Appointed matron
of the choir, she saw that the surplices
OF the singers were neat and exercised n
motherly supervision over the young
women.
She says she aimed to take the same
interest in the girls that she did In her
six children.
Her sense OF duty prompted her TO In
sist that the singers wear their hair
verely plain, parted in the middle. She
also tabooed ribbons or coloring In gowns
which tended 20 mar the effect OF the
simple surplices.
Several new comers appeared last Sun
singing. Three Of the recruits wore their
hair la pompadour. Others had about
their gowns enlivening bits of ribbons.
Mrs. Sabin spied the fluffy hair and the
obnoxious ribbons. She explained she had
no authority over them in their daily
lives. but--and here it is said. Mrs. Sabin
pulled hairpins out OF pompadours and
picked off the offending ribbons, while
the hair fell down over the girls shoul-
derS and they hurst into tears

inert mass lying In a rickety shed be-
side the highway.
