why the Low CoifTure Was introduced.

Segregating themselves from the
common herd of coiffeurs, dressers of
ladies' hair in Paris have formed an
institute Of their own. which has now
been finally incorporated, and held it's
first assembly this week. The new
society, like the Academic Franchise
comprises forty members. These are
all masters Of their art. which is, of
course, by far the highest branch Of
hairdressing. The members, their
families, and the guests whom they
had asked to the meeting all felt that
1t was an immense relief no longer to
be forced to associate with the in
ferior persons who cut the hair and
shave the chins Of mere men. A set
of the finest specimens of the ladies'
hairdressers' art, set forth on wax
heads, but fashioned, Of course, with
real locks. was exhibited, and a jury
awarded prizes. All the coifreurs were
arranged low in the neck. The new
institute has determined to mark the
beginning Of its reign by issuing a
severe accommodation against pil.
Ing up hair on the top of the head.
The president Of the society ingenu-
ously admitted that the chief reason
for this decision was the fact that the
low coiffure cannot be successfully
achieved by a lady's maid, and re-
quires to be arranged by the skilled
hand Of an artist. Incidentally, he
remarked that all the we'll known
and fashionable ladies' hairdressers in
Paris are men, and that, curiously
enough. no woman has yet excelled,
Or even attained to considerable pro-
hciency in the professlon.-New York

that she would be sexless and just
before she would be womanly and
merciful. At least he hoped she
would. Ideals are much too pre-
cious to be shattered by mere con-
siderations of personal safety.
But while he theorized upon the
probabilities, he was fully alive to
the necessity for prompt action. If
Miss Farnham had discovered him,
she would doubtless lose no time in
giving the alarm. She might even
now be in conference with the CAP
tain, he thought.
At this he had his first shock of
genuine terror. Up to that moment
he had suffered none of the pains of
the hunted fugitive; but now he
knew that he had fairly entered the
gates of the outlaws inferno; that
he should never again know what it
was to be wholly free from the ter
ror of the arrow that flieth by day.
The force of the Scriptural smile
came to him with startling emphasis,
bringing on return of the prickling
paralysis of fear; but he shook it
off and ran aft to rummage under
the cargo for his precious bundle.
For the whistle was sounding for q
landing, and it was high time that
he was afoot and fleeing. But when
his hand reached the place where the
bundle should have been, the blood
surged to his brain and set up q
clamorous DINING in his ears. The
niche under the coffee sacks was
empty.
