The designs of embroidery upon White
linen frocks are distinctly Egyptian.
Sailor hats retain their old time pop
ularity and the spring designs are notice
able for their simplicity and style.
With the white blouse the modish &C.
compartment is the white kid belt heavily
stitched and fastened with brass, kid or
pearl buckle.
Tn chinchilla dot, a combination of black
and white chenille, is seen on some of the
new wells with foundation of gray, white
or black mesh varying from fine to coarse.
A pretty little stickpin has two tiny Eas-
ter bells, with clappers, with pearls on the
ends. Another pin has a single and less
natural bell.
The soft tint of tan recognized as biscuit,
combined with baby blue, Is a modish COM

is occasionally introduced.

are studying as to how much false hair is
needed to achieve the prevailing mode.
A couple of lessons at the hair dresser's
Will serve to teach any ordinarily intelli-
gent woman how to do unaided at least two
or three of the new twists, and with this
arrangement how to give the head the air
OF compact neatness upon which every
American woman insists. The Importance
Of knowing how to comb your hair in a good
rear coil or height is made impressive by
the spring hats. All the shapes are cut,
bent and trimmed to harmonic with the
hair when dressed low and the woman who
says she won't put her hair down is grandly
disciplined when she finds that her new hat
won't sit on SO long as her hair is pinned
up.
GainsborOugh RingIets.
A big, three-roll, or a big winged eight
Is the most satisfactory arrangement the
c~oiffures have yet arrived at. For the morn
ing the roll is unadorned save for occasional
ornamental pins; with afternoon dress clus-
tiers Of little corkscrew curls are tucked in
behind the ears, to make way, in the even
ing, before long Gainsborough ringlets that
hang upon the bare shoulders.
When two extremely long curls are drawn
forward on either side of the neck they are
appropriately called Lady Teazels, and not
infrequently the hair is given a dash OF
powder to accentuate the eighteenth century
quality Of this style.
1t was almost inevitable, with the low ar
rangement of the hair and the waterfalls Of
curls, that the nets Of 1860 and whereabouts
should come back to favor. Women first
began to wear them as a joke, but now they
have accepted them in earnest, and invisible
nets. nets Of silk with chenille spots, and
nets OF beads, are multiplying with amazing
rapidity. A net, for two sound reasons, Is
almost necessary with the new couture. 1t
is required to keep the bulky mass OF back
hair taut and neat, and when a paucity Of
natural cheveture brings a quantity Of
false braids and switches into reduisition,
the net assists in holding these securely in
place.
The Net at Work.
The virtues Of a net were we'll illustrated
only the other day in a street car, which
was crowded with we'll dressed women,
nearly all OF whom were c~olffured and
netted in the latest fashion. When one
smart damsel left her corner seat and
tripped out, nobody noticed in the hustle
that she had on no net, and that her back
hair looked curiously blank and unfinished.
No sooner had she left than a strap holder
hurried to secure the cosy corner, but with
q cry of horror she drew back; there in the
vacant seat lay what seemed to be a dusky
serpent coiled ready to strike. The other
women shrieked in sympathy. then the con-
ductor looked In and courageously investi-
gated the trouble. With a brutal mascu-
line grin he plucked from the seat, not a
serpent. but a very expensive, very long and
very silky switch of dark brown hair, which
had slipped its moorings in the head Of the
late occupant OF that seat and gliding down
her back had fallen into serpentine coils
behind her.
The moral of this narrowing story is,
Omaha daily bee., 1902-03-23

The telling contrast to this and in ex-
emplihcation of the Importers " asser-
ton that nothing lie now too good for a
woman to put on her head, was a symphony
in white lace and roses, called the Bendel.
Into the generously broad curved brim OF
white lace black net butterflies with black
chenille spotted wings were woven with
really supreme art. There was a touch Of
black velvet ribbon on the low crown and
the rear brlm, seemingly weighted with It's
wealth OF white roses and tiny buds dropped
almost. to the nape of the wearer's neck.
This hat is typical of the present ruling
impulse in millinery this spring, which is to
make the shape in itself so graceful and so

While its peculiar character admits of its

Columbia Disc Records outlast all others

Instead Of being scratchy and muffled

The Aetna Life.

The big and very satisfactory figures
OF the annual statement of the Aetna
Lite Insurance Company are printed else
where in this issue. The showing is one
that the management must take pride in
placing before the public. 1t has, dur
ing the year just past, increased its bust
ness to an extent that surprises even its
best and most sanguine friends. The
Aetna Lies assets have nearly reached
the $4,000 900 mark, showing an increase
OF about $4,0OO,000 in 1901, with proper
tionate increases all along the line of
the conpanys field of labor.
What so large gains mean, not only TO
the management but TO its 1S1, 900 policy
holders, and even TO the nation at large,
will be apparent from the fact that life
insurance is becoming one of the leading
and best of forms Of investment for rich
and poor. For the rich man life insur-
ance is a great convenience; it increases
his credit; it secures him against adven-
turous speculation. For the poor man ii
IS necessity. The life insurance policy
Is generally the only asset which most
men leave behind them at death.
