CarneQfe In Hare Feet

Andrew Carnegie had curious expe-
rience at AK les Balns. He walked
four miles down a rugged mountain
side In his bare feet. Mr.. Carnegie
had started early with three compan-
ions-an English woman and two
French women-who were stopping at
the same hotel, to explore the Savoy
hills. A mule, carrying a basket OF
lunch, accompanied the party.
When 1t was time to return one of
tie women found her shoes too tight.
Her feet had been blistered frightfully
and she declared she was unable to
go home. The spot was deserted and
night was approaching.
"Ro you think you could for. opca
walk four miles In your bare feetT'
asked the girl OF the millionaire.
Mr.. Carnegie was puzzled, but the
pretty maid finally induced him to give
her his shoes, which, though trench
dously large. enabled her to proceed
slowly.
Mr.. Carnegie at first accepted the Or
deal In spirit Of fun, but the stones
and thorns often made him cry out

BROWN HAIR is POPULAR.
Auburn and Blonde Tresses Have Con.
Out of Fashion.

/
The woman of to-day who desires to
be fashionable must wear brown
tresses, whether she seeks to shine
upon the stage or In society. The
change is not due to the initiative of
the stage however. The mania for
blonde hair some years ago was most
evident among the footlight favorites.
Then came the more recent rage for all
shades and grades Of auburn hair, of
which Zaza was the spectacular exam
pie. The quiet, domesticated brown
hair Of so many player women to-day
reflects the vogue for 1t In all classes
of society. Miss Mannering Miss Mar
lowe, Miss Anglin, Miss Eleanor Rob-
son, Miss Tyree, Miss Bates and many
