Milady of fashion can select from
an infinite variety of combs and orna-
ments for her hair, even without go
ing into any Of the precious metals.
There is the ever handsome and ever
useful shell, amber, which is beautiful
with SOME tresses- mot least frequent
2ly with blonde. Combs of amber with
waved tops. Of lovely design are some
times ornamented with rhinestones set
in sterling silver. The combs of tor
toise shell have lost none Of their pop
ularity. Among the fads Of the mo-
ment are hair clasps, or barrettes, of
plain or chased matt gold. A novelty
is the stout hairpins with jeWeled
heads. These come either singly or in
pairs and are used at the back of the
head, crossed, if desired, and, as an
excuse for their existence, they are
supposed to keep stray short hairs in
order. Verify, if many more of these
dainty devices are brought into daily
use, We shall soon have as many differ
ent pins and combs. to support our coli
fure as the Japanese maiden herself,
with her innumerable afanciful hair
ornaments. These jeweled hairpins
are, however, extremely pretty. Par
ticularly effective is a branch Of mis-
tletoe with berry and leaves all done
in miniature, the finest rhinestones be-
ing used, the pine itself being of
sterling silver. sa.s /. H.

THE AMERICAN Way

From the Indianapolis Sun.-After
the duel had been fought the principals
repaired to a cafe and ordered lunch. i
@ Not exactly gourmands, but hearty
eaters were they, which caused an AM
seriean who had gone to the exposition
and had not yet earned sufficient CAPT
tai for the return voyage, to remark
that it takes more to satisfy a French
mans appetite than it does his honor.
No sooner had the words left his lips
than Count de Boozleane struck him in
the face with his open palm. But To-!
Instead Of challenging the count and
twiping out the insult in mortal COM
bat, the American simply smashed him
between the eyes, caught him with a
fright hand hook as he was going down
and then stepped on his face with his
bul1dog shoes, all the time asking the
count if his honor was satisfied. The
count finally admitted that it was.
Moral: That's why we have no duel
ing in the land of the free. =
