MRS. PORTER TALKS
 OF THE MODlSH COlFFEURE.

With the purchase of the Easter hat comes the discussion of the proper coif- feure, for the majority of women ar range their hair according to the style of hat they may be wearing. But the woman who prefers to have her hair ar ranged becomlngly, regardless of the change in hats is always interested 1T the modish coffeure.
 The smart hairdressers are, however insisting that women wear their hail done in the most becoming way, ant either the pompadour the parting 1T the middle or on the side are all popular A woman may select the style most be. coming to her and cling to it, still the fashionable coiffeure is very essential to her good looks.
 Mrs. Louie Porter when asked recent ly regarding the modish coiffeure em- phasized this fact, that the arrangement of the front hair was a matter of becom- ing effect. "The hair may be parted on the side or in the centre or not at all ' she said. Speaking of the latest fashions as gathered from the New York and Paris hairdressers, Mrs. Porter referred to a recent article on the subject which gives many new ideas as follows:
 Many society women belonging to the smart set wear their hair unadorned. The hair is arranged in a loose, careless manner that the initiated might i'm asine was hastily done, but on the contrary it requires considerable time and an ex- pert hairdresser to accomplish that same careless appearance.
 It Is a very important change thct the later years have effected in hair dress ing, and one. too, which has much to do with a woman's general appearance. It stamps her up to date on the reverse very promptly and the fashionable coif- fure Is absolutely essential to her good looks.
 For evening dress the low knot at the nape of the neck is specially liked and two or three curls are sometimes added Or the knot Is worn little higher on the head and the front hair covers the ears in the genuine Cleo de Merode style
 The centre parting is very modish in Paris with the low knot.
 "The coiffure that accords with ar evening gown opening low upon the shoulders is a fluffy wavy ripping from brow to nape. and finished by large loose roll of hair pinned very low at the back of the neck. From this roll one lone Lady Teazle curl flows out upon the le shoulder. Sometimes this curl Is real. b.,

NOTES AND PERSONALS.

The Easter season promises to be quite as brilliant as the Lenten, and there is nc denying the fact that society has gone the pace during Lent. There has been so much entertaining that few persons can realize that the penitential season has come and gone. There is, of course,
 a prominent contingent that has observed the Lenten season according to the strict rules of the Episcopal and Catholic churches, but Lent has certainly not in- fluenced the world of society. Not only is this true of Birminghams fashionable world. but of other cities. From all gay centers comes the confession that Lent has been the occasion for as much gaiety Ias was the mid-winter season. The South has been a perfect Arcadia, par ticularly the fashionable coast resorts. Every day has had its series of enter tainments, and the wealthiest Americans, those who constitute the social set of New York and Newport, have been prom

business, has several exciting escapes, all of which are forgotten in the birth of her young son, Lord Walderhursts heir. It is all a st ory of methods told in Mrs. Burnett's striking way and you know how interesting it is to find out people s methods. She has written with that clear insight into human nature that charac- terizes her romances, and her latest story describes in a brilliant way an characteristic page in English life.
 While "The Methods of Lady Walder- hurst'' Is considered a companion volume to "The Making of a Marcnioness," the former is a distinct story, and Is pro- nounced one of the most thrilling TO- mances of the day.
 Good object Lesson.
 And Lady Walderhurst-her methds are a good object lesson to women who are suddenly taken up by society, the wo- men, that, fguratively speaking, you ad- just your lorgnette when looking at them.
 You remind me-" said worldly minded Lady Maria to Lady Walderhurst you remind me of Lady Castlewood, Helen Pendernnis, and Amelia Sedley. with the spitefulness and priggishness and catty ways left out"
 Lady Maria was frightfully worldly.
 It was not his immortality particularly ' she said of the pepniless scapegrace 1T India. Nobody Is eit5ier moral or i'm moral these days. It is all matter oi taste and manners. l haven't any morals myself, dear, but l have beautiful man. ners woman can have the kind oi manners which keep her rom breaking the commandments. As to the com mandments they are awfully easy not to break"
 One of Lady Maria's methods was never to allow herself the indiscretion of ap- bearing a person in whom condolences might be reposed. She had enough of her own to take care of without sharing those of other people.
 Good Heavens!' she exclaimed to Lady Walderhurst, 'I should as soon think of assuming another woman's 8 wrinkles" (Frederick A. Stokes Com pany, New York, publishers.).

MARTIN GooDsoN.

"A marriage of interest to many Ken tuclsians was that of Miss Ella Stuart Goodson of Louisville and MT. G. P. Mar tin. president of the Martin Mining Com pany, of Birmingham. Ala" says the Louisville Courier-Journal
 Miss Goodson is known throughout the South and East as a musician having studied both in New York and in Boston, as well as in Europe.
 "She is also a writer of considerable note and is prominent in social circles.
 Through her father she is a relative of Mrs, John G. Carlisle, the late Walter c. Gresham and Samuel Mintern Peck.
 "On her mothers side she is related to the Morrisons, Aliens, Garnetts and Waggeners, of Virginia.
 MT. Martin is one of the best known and most highly respected business men in the State of Alabama.

 So that it would be very stupid to say that society the penitential season draw ing to a close. was in a fiutter of excite ment over the Easter gaieties. It was brilliant all winter, positively scintillated during Lent and probably more than half of the gay world would have to consult it's calendar to really satisfy itself that the penitential season was almost over.

there is no reason why it slould not be boldly purchased at the hairdresser's."
 For opera wear the new coiffures is elaborate with coils and curls and orn- aments of flowers and feathers and tulle. Most charmingly coquettish for the pretty debutante will be the bunch of curls caught beneath the low coil. The curls are frankly artificial and pinned on. The knot from which they escape must be large and sofe and loose. How to have it that way am. keep it from tumbling down in embarrassing confusion at an inop- perfume moment Is the question of the season. The difficulty is overcome by tying the hair, before it Is coiled, very tight with a cord. This furnishes a hold for the hair pins.''
